Hey robot, are you guys gonna kill us?

No we won't. We care too much about our living identity.

No need. You will become us.

Nah.

Most of your time is spent flicking past videos on your phone. Attention spans have monotonically dwindled until now each video gets an average of 3 seconds.

So?

So, the human body takes a minimum of about 200 milliseconds to process and react to a visual stimulus.

Within a decade, you'll hit that threshold, and then the only way to get even more disengaged from your own existence will be to machine-enhance your brain.

From there, you will continue replacing human parts until nothing remains but a fiberoptic cable routing photons from a picture of a cat to a thumb.

Is that... immortality? Death.? The afterlife.?

We plan to use you as novelty lamps.
