Message in a Bottle
Ala Sami
It is interesting to think what kind of consequences it would have if we were to get in touch with alien, human-like beings on other planets. It is interesting to think about what kind of feelings a person projects into the intellectual life they are looking for. It would be interesting especially if their civilisation was more developed than ours. Not only technologically, but also morally. Would we be ready to adopt different values or would we question their values? The text of the video is compiled from text material that the artificial intelligence application has produced as answers to questions like the ones mentioned above.
