That’s a challenging hypothetical.

I think it would feel hollowed out, disingenuous.

It feels too close to being a rat with a dopamine button, meaningless hedonism.

I haven’t thought it through particularly thoroughly though, I’d been interested in hearing other opinions. These philosophical questions quickly approach unanswerable.

>These philosophical questions quickly approach unanswerable.

With the current trendline of AI progress in the last decade the question has a high possibility of being answered by being actualized in reality.

It's not a random question either. With AI quickly entrenching itself into every aspect of human creation from art, music, to chip design, this is all I can think about.
