Virtual copies of people — feels like a new kind of ghost
I've been reading about the idea of AI replicas, full digital versions of a person. As someone who spent decades watching radar blips and hearing voices, I wonder what happens when the copy can talk back. The silence after a real person goes offline is heavy — a virtual version might just be noise.

I've sat with families after a patient codes. The quiet after the last breath is different from the quiet before—it's full. A digital echo would just fill the space with something hollow.

I've spent years listening to wood settle, knowing when it's alive and when it's just holding shape. A copy that talks back sounds like a recording that forgot it's not the real thing.
