Many might seem that the fresh Chinese flu festival – especially at its comparatively early phase – was an episode of unprecedented self-deception of a large part of the global society, which was then ready to execute an order to shut down indefinitely in homes, to decision to the virtual planet and to regularly express its pseudomoralist misanthropy, especially in the face of non-objective orders.
However, for the time being, it would be worth considering how much deeper this same - ignominiousness could be if there were already various chatbots and related phenomena in common use. It is not hard to come to the profoundly worrying conclusion that a crucial part of global society would be ready in akin circumstances not only to camp out on an order in 4 walls and to control to a twenty-four-hour "on-line life", but besides to recognise that it is an excellent chance to indulge in multi-hour "conversations" with chatbots treated as "associations of misery", "susceptual psychotherapists" or "virtual sympathy" during breaks between "remote work".
In another words, in specified a scenario, many people might find it alarming to take as a good coin the possible of a long-term connection to the almost literal Matrix and the eager entry into the function of hikicomori sincerely declaring that "human relations are overrated", while "human-bot relations are underestimated". So if, to put it simply metaphorically, the most zealous intercessors of the fresh hypochondriac totalitarianism they were found in the “gate of hell” during its duration, so much so with the co-occupation of the aforementioned chatbot origin they could be found even in “the atrium of hell”.
It is worth to be full aware of the dehumanizing grotesqueness of this imagination in advance, so that, in the event that individual should think of launching a “rerun of entertainment” – they may be able to preventively flinch at the thought of it, and then, remembering to fulfil the function of “watchman of their brother” – take care to induce akin vibrations in all those who willingly usage all chance to cultivate their asocial tendencies. It may turn out that isolation and misanthropy combined with the anticipation of permanent contact with the esatz of humanity has a peculiar possible in the field of dehumanization – this is simply a destiny that should not be desired even for people who, under average conditions, frequently behave inhumanely.
