If you could have a conversation with your future self using AI, what would you ask and why?

My definitions of success and happiness have changed wildly over the years - I'd probably ask my future self to describe those two terms to see what's changed.

"Are you happy?" I'd also want to ask my past self what my biggest concerns are-it would be nice to go back to 15, 20, 25, 30 year old me and see how I grew and if I met that version of me's hopes and dreams

I would like to know if I am wasting my time or wasting my time now?

I feel like this question didn’t need “using AI” 😅

@psd Well, there are 3 options: 1) you are recording a time-capsule question for your future self, 2) AI is extrapolating what your future self might say or 3) there is "Back to the Future" time-travel involved. I wouldn't be surprised if Elon Musk was working on a self-driving DeLorean time-machine.

I would be curious how society adjust to all the changes in technology and our environment - AI-enhanced memory, self-driving transportation, improved medical treatments, climate change. Hopefully we will live in a more equitable world. Then mostly I would be asking for short-cuts about how we can bring about the positive changes faster and avoid all the mistakes. If I was leaving a time-capsule for my future self, I would probably record a video of me with my family - my parents, siblings, and nephews. A memory where we are all having fun together.

@val_jones Lovely viewpoint, Dr. Jones. Too often our nature is internally focused, but that is a lot of how we got into our current state of emergency as a species. More communal inquiry could teach us a lot about planning for the common good of all people and creatures... and the planet!

Artificial Intelligence is an experiment that is incorrect, and invalid. All involved can be proven a fraud because they have to be arrested due to a fact defrauded monies are on a market and these monies destroy an economy, as well as a profession of those who are based on an education.
