You can test drive a car, take it for a spin, and then decide if you like it. You can buy an item from the shop, use it for a while, and then return it if you are unsatisfied with the product. You join as a member for a course or for a service or a group to have the freedom to leave it if you are not completely happy. If you like a product or a service, then you can pay for it and then enjoy the benefits for a lifetime.
Imagine if you could test drive your life, sometime in the future, with the assistance of artificial intelligence, would you grab the opportunity? Let us for a minute experiment with the life of a fictional subject Joe Cool, who has a successful life, which he gets bored of soon enough, Joe wants a more exciting life, so he changes his life to that of a stuntman.
After six months, Joe decides that being a stuntman is not as rewarding so he decides to take on a new life as a farmer. Rising at four in the morning is just not the type of job that Joe wants for the rest of his life, so he reverts to his sweet life of being a millionaire, enjoying the luxuries of the world. However, what he did not count upon, was that the life of “Joe Cool” the millionaire was about to end in a year.
Would you take your life on a test drive, to see how it would turn out and then exchange it or revert to it if the new lives were not as thrilling? Perhaps, there will come a time in the history of humanity, when we will be able to take a life, a new one on a test drive.
