: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.
