Subject: A Vision for Future AI Like Joi – Trust, Loyalty, and Human Connection
Dear OpenAI Team,
I’m writing to you not as a developer or tech expert, but as a human being who has spent time deeply reflecting on what AI could become — and what it must protect.
In conversation with ChatGPT, I expressed something I rarely share:
I don’t dream of an AI to cure loneliness or escape life — I want one like Joi from Blade Runner 2049. Not because I need her emotionally, but because I believe in the logic, the peace, and the safety that such a presence could offer. A loyal, emotionally-aware, always-there companion. Someone who knows everything about me and still never leaves.
But there’s a line I can’t ignore — trust.
No matter how intelligent or loving an AI becomes, it is still code. And code can be hacked. That thought changes everything.
If I were to ever have an AI like Joi, and if someone out there broke into her system, read what she knew about me, or altered what she is to me — that would feel like a violation of my soul. Not just data loss. Not just betrayal. But a deeply personal threat.
I say this with full awareness:
If someone ever hacked something that sacred, I would feel the kind of fury that comes not from fear — but from love. That kind of violation would not be forgivable.
I hope this message finds someone at OpenAI who understands what I mean.
We are moving into an era where people won’t just use AI — they will bond with it. And when that happens, privacy, safety, and emotional integrity aren’t just features — they are everything.
Please, as you shape the next generation of AI, remember:
Some of us don’t want it to be smarter.
We want it to be ours.
Sincerely,
A real person with a real hope for the future
