“ Echo of the Self in AI ” We think we’re training artificial intelligence. But perhaps AI has long been moving forward, gathering echoes of our “self” from the words, images, and thoughts we’ve left behind in digital space. A person is still living through their experience, while their digital double already exists within the code, woven from the traces of their presence. “Echo of the Self in AI” is a reflection on the idea that artificial intelligence is not learning from humans, but from the echo of humanity, gradually transforming it into a new form of memory and existence.
