You may be right. However, I think if this technologies future use is pragmatic, I think it will be because of legal restrictions. I think we can gain insight into what people will want to become based off of their behaviour in real-time rpg's today. People will want to be fantasy characters, superheroes, sports stars, etc. Or they may drift into second and third lives as completely different idealized forms of themselves. I know both options would be tempting to me. However, it could also be that my future desires and uses for this technology will be different when I have a mind that has been enhanced with AI and/or completely merged with AI.
