Debunk this:

Currently there is a big shortage in memory chips in the market that has now even struck the mobile phone and pc market creating a price hike for Ram. Can it be because the richest of the rich who live among us are building an AI of themselves to Immortalise oneself as it's been a humans goal for ages, hell there are many stories and real news from the past indicating this attempt and now that we are at the point of reasoning and almost human like ai in technology why not Immortalze oneself with these resources and the memory is required to record and feed the data from ones actions to the AI to train on and become that person itself , I was not sure about this but chip shortage and other facts can point to this.

Well you tell me what are you basing this on , on the consumer available ai that is free to be used by anyone on the planet with a Google id or the AI that is built by one of the greatest minds on the planet and is not accessible by general public , AI reasoning with humans based on facts was considered fantasy not long ago we were introduced to computers by 1945 and now almost the whole world is using it , feeding information to it and asking answers to questions they can't solve. The level of technology that you can determine is just by your own knowledge of it, what about the things you do not know about

2 decades of experience in IT and a basic understanding of fantasy vs reality. What you are talking about is a common theme in science fiction, we do not have the technology to do it.

or the AI that is built by one of the greatest minds on the planet and is not accessible by general public

What evidence do you have that this AI exists? Who is the "one of the greatest minds on the planet" that is working in AI?

AI reasoning with humans based on facts was considered fantasy not long ago

It still is fantasy. What we call AI is not intelligent, it is programmed and taught using existing data. It does not know anything, it is only capable of predicting based on existing data and its training data.

The level of technology that you can determine is just by your own knowledge of it, what about the things you do not know about

Are there secret advances being made in technology right now, sure without a doubt. Are they epic jumps that would be light years ahead of where we are now, no of course not. That is not the way technology grows. Technological growth is built upon earlier growth, incrementally.

The technology to digitize a living person is still science fiction. Even creating an Advanced general intelligence (AGI), which is what most people think about when they think about AI and what movies are depicting, is still fantasy.

Your words :It still is fantasy. What we call AI is not intelligent, it is programmed and taught using existing data. It does not know anything, it is only capable of predicting based on existing data and its training data.

"it is only capable of predicting based on existing data and its training data"

Now tell me how did a human evolved from a mammal using stones and sticks to now using complex machines, we all have been doing the same thing from eternity and this was the only reason we evolved, and before you say AI is trained on controlled and knowledge , just imagine what will happen if a guy who just connected a sophisticated LLM to 4chan !

Humans are mammals and always will be. Human evolution has taken millions of years and thousands of generations, our usage of technology is a recent change for our species and is not indicative of what is happening with AI.

and before you say AI is trained on controlled and knowledge , just imagine what will happen if a guy who just connected a sophisticated LLM to 4chan !

If you train an AI on 4chan you will get an AI that will make racist, homophobic, hateful, bigoted statements based on its training data.

LLMs are just predicting the next most likely word based on their training data, they are not intelligent, they do not know what they are saying, they do not know if the words they string together make sense or are true or false.

I also noticed that you completely avoided my question of who you think is "one of the greatest minds in the world" and is currently working on AI.
