Holly shit, I can't believe I missed this movie!
Never forget the 6 gorrillion BEHEADED BABIES !!!
You mention that AI wont take root until the ability to maintain a set of memories is achieved. I believe you also mention that current AI models can't keep memory for too long due to processing power (correct me if I'm wrong).
Is this because what is currently available is being stretched thin across the available resources for each AI model? If so could there be a model that was set up only to interact with one user and would that increase its ability to store memories?
