They are better than us at chess, in math, they can compose beautiful classical music, and create beautiful imagery. Artificial humans - in the form of statues, paintings, retouched photos and more - have long been more beautiful than an in-flesh human being. The way sexdolls are visually created are… sexist. It is an impossible standard for a human to compare themselves too. But so are the selfies we take. The way the light falls on your skin in that one instance right in front of a window might make you look beautiful, but soon you need to go on with your day and the only thing to remind people of your second of beauty is that photograph. While certain parts of this is frustrating and sad, and sometimes devastating when trying to meet the perfections machines and technology creates, it is also interesting to see this as a humbling experience. Humans, especially in the christian tradition, tend to read our species as superior. We are created in the image of god. We create technology in the image of us, both in minds and bodies. But then it hits us: what if our creations surpass us? And in many ways they have. The truth is: humans are mediocre and that is a relief. What if we stopped trying to be superior since it is a game we will always lose?」1月13日 18時36分
