A 2000 YEAR OLD QUESTION NOBODY CAN ANSWER. LOVE ME

Transcript

There's a question that nobody has been able to answer for 2,000 years. We asked that to four different AIs. You're replacing a ship's parts one by one. Eventually, not a single original piece remains. Is it still the same ship? Yes, the name hasn't changed. Technically no, it's a new ship. No, none of the original material exists anymore. The ship isn't the real question. Every cell in your body replaces itself over seven years. There is not a single atom in you today that existed in you a decade ago. But if someone asked who you are, you wouldn't hesitate for a second. So what makes you you? It was never the material, it was never the parts. It was always the story you kept telling about yourself. Don't forget to follow, I share AI videos every day.
