Intro
The emerging new technology of the AI, especially LLM , delighted many possibilities.
One of these is to create a digital copy of someone’s conversational response mind. That is , in simpler words, a chatbot that replicates or simulates one’s talking behaivor. Or an AI agent to interact with the real world as someone, acting like the one him or her-self.
So, if someone want to shutdown his internal core of receiving the outside world messages, then he can create an AI agent to do the interactive things for him. After some supervised adjustment progress, the agent can finally simulates the peoples idea , opinion, character, etc.
Finally, when the one decide to irreversible shutdown his or her mind to react with the real world. Then, the AI Agent can left here to help the world get response from. Thurs can lead fewer turbulence to the world he or she is dealing with.
This is titled, graceful shutdown of life. The following topic, I want to talk about the pre-requested limitation of the content below, and why in theoretical the LLM can do this by finetuning. And at last, how to implement such a system nowadays.
Prerequisite
Religon limitation
Many religions forbid sui-, considering it a sin or immoral act. For example, in Christianity, suicide is generally considered a violation of the commandment “Thou shalt not kill.” Similarly, in Islam, suicide is forbidden and considered a major sin. In Hinduism, suicide is generally discouraged as it is believed to have negative consequences in the afterlife. These religious beliefs may present a challenge to the concept of a “graceful shutdown of life” using AI technology.
So, please stop reading if its not suitable for you.
Legal limitation
Another limitation to the implementation of a “graceful shutdown of life” using AI technology is the legal framework. In most countries, there are no services that allow someone to end their life, even if they are experiencing unbearable pain due to illness. Therefore, such services can only operate in countries that allow for such procedures to take place. It is important to consider the legal implications and limitations of implementing such a system before proceeding with any plans.
So, keep this in paper, mind the law.
Why
Well, hereby, we are not to discuss why people wanted to shutdown their life, even abruptly. Because so many people commit such an behavior simply implies the need is there. It indeed decrease the pain a soul receives and gives some kind of the dignity a human deserves.
One of the chains that stops people from moving on is caring about the world they left behind. Questions about such behavior can create an agony for the loved ones surrounding them. Providing a way for the bereaved to talk will help to loosen the chains a little.
Theory
Why in theory, and not just in that science theory, this is practical. But also, it can be done with internet reachable technology.
LLMs
Speaking at May, 2023. We all saw what OpenAI’s ChatGPT and Anthoripical’s Claude capable with. Their 99% of the magic happens is the LLM, models like GPT3. The fashion terms of Aligment, RFHL things only doing the 1% changes to the model to let is response aligned to the conversation format and also some SV’s popular moral standard.
The LLM itself is the universal combination of all the characters, opinions, thinkings, of all human across different language and culture and time span. To fine tune such a model align with someone’s thinking, worldview, is not a difficult task. In recent experiment, even hundreds of conversation data can produce such a demo system.
Reachable
GPT4 have never make it base model accessible. It’s an finetuned aligned model called GPT4. The SV companies will never allow this usage of the language model because this violets the fundemental spirital core of the Christianity. (ps. I hope someday they can realise the limitation of the believes they honoured.)
However, there are a brunch of new models available here. Such as LLAMA, finetuned conversaton version Vicuna. etc. And there’s more better large models being release recently. To simply work with these model, maybe its hard to generate a so generic intelligent conversation model, but its not hard to reproduce someone’s talking style, opinion, world view, etc.
To find a spot of someone’s role in the ocean of the LLM, is not a hard task. All we need is a brunch of training data, which works as a coordinate in the ocean, to a character’s mind.
Using a brunch of data, with nowadays reachable LLMs, can create a AI that is pretty much usable. Moreover, the AI can be upgraded when the base model upgraded.
Practical
Pathway at May2023
Not finished. Its changing to fast. Nowadays, keywords like Vicuna Llama Lora will help to archive such a system. But this will change rapidly. More and more systems will emerge.
Data generation system
The best system, I can imaging is by chat.
To cultivate a gpt4 or Claude conversation which keep asking you questions, about life, everything around one, one’s opinion to everything, one’s attitude to someone and something, one’s life experience. And to answer the questions to some specified people.
Summary
The concept of a “graceful shutdown of life” using AI technology involves creating an AI agent to interact with the world on behalf of someone who has decided to stop receiving external stimuli. This could be achieved through the use of language models such as LLMs, which can be fine-tuned to replicate someone’s thinking and worldview. However, there are religious and legal limitations to consider, and the implementation of such a system is still in its early stages.
