Imagine a future where we can create an AI version or a digital clone of ourselves. Do you think it’s possible to pass our bitcoin on to this AI when we kick the bucket? Instead of handing it over to family who might not know how to use it wisely, an AI could understand us better and manage our funds just like we would. This AI could take care of payments, make donations, invest, and even distribute some to our family when the time is right. It could serve as a reliable assistant or a digital executor rather than just locking our bitcoin away. What are your thoughts? Could AI really become our digital twin and financial advisor after we’re gone? How would that all work?

Id never see an AI version of myself as an extension of me. It feels more like, I guess, just another tool to make stuff easier - like the gadgets we got now.  That difference matters.  Its about handing off jobs, not handing off who you are or how you think and feel.

There is nothing that can not happen in the world that we are right now. If animal like a dog can inherit someone's property, why would AI will not be able to inherit someone's property. We have different people in life and I think few people can make AI inherit their properties, especially if AI can be made available in human form and be able to communicate with humans like they are also real humans.

If an AI version of us could be taught on our beliefs habits and decision making style it could actually handle things very closely to how we would.  It might become a sort of digital executor administering bitcoin according to our instructions. The problem would be in making sure the AI actually understands humans and that the setup is secure and legally acknowledged but maybe if done well, it could be smarter than just giving over everything to someone who may not value what we achieved.

Creating an AI version of ourselves means that we should sit and talk with AI software for months every day 24 hour per day. Because, if you want it to learn you, then it has to ask you millions of questions. Letting AI to learn yourself means 100% fully transferring your privacy to AI. Does anyone really want it? Anyways, it's better to pass your Bitcoin to your future generation (children) instead of AI that some profit-oriented company owns. There isn't a level of automation that can login into your Electrum wallet, exchange Bitcoin to ETH, consolidate UTXOs and so on, AI isn't that advanced. You can train it on databases and teach it how to give you an answer. By the way, Google's VEO 3 looks very promising and interesting. I really wonder how their prompts look like and how they trained it. To be honest, I saw some videos and it's already above my expectations.

What makes you confident enough to think that AI is going to make good wise decisions that is consistent with your values when you were alive? There is no guarantee for it. Your AI may get hacked. It may break down, get stolen and even worse develop its mind on it own and decide that what the master wanted is not what they want because as a machine they have an intelligent power. That would not work. There is a risk to it.

I guess they can also try to get a copy of your memory to avoid you trying to teach the Ai about your self. I wonder what such cases would look like trying to pass on your own consciousness into an ai technology. It's trash to me though. if we pass on it's better to give your inheritance to someone you trust like a family members instead of relying on some ai that can be controlled by a central authority. The dead should be allow to rest and not try to clone some shitty ai or robot to carry on with his existence.

Things like this can only happen in some countries that are AI freaks. The world is running so badly that it feels something of this kind can happen. But why pass your BTC to AI when there are still humans, living beings unable to face life's financial challenges. It is an unnecessary way of talking about inheritance. What will this AI do with our Bitcoin when we die, i don't get the essence of AI inheriting our Bitcoin and what it will do for them.

Artificial intelligence is exactly that. It is not real intelligence. It is merely man-made applications programmed to learn from data that it has been fed. It is incapable of imagination or creativity which are real intelligence.

You should know that however the case may be, AI is just AI and human is human. AI works under programming language that function base on command and this command needs human being before it is executed. No doubt that in the future AI may be used as an accurate tool to fulfill your wish/ will after you may have passed on. But don't forget that AI will still be controlled by a human being probably your family people you never wanted to fulfill your will, and they will manipulate your AI to work in their favor and work against your on wish. By then you are no more. So it is hard to describe such circumstances for now. But In the aspect of willing your property or asset to to robot, it is possible .

Our digital version of AI can do everything if we command it. However, for me, it's better to just give it as a inheritance to your love ones once you die. That is the traditional way and I will stick to it. Maybe my AI version will do something when I die, but I don't see fit it holding my Bitcoin and make it's own decision. And with that, I will say that AI is really advancing as we speak, it's really scary and if you know you know, like the latest VEO-3 that has been released lately. It really looks realistic.

What you need is cloning yourself and not using AI. You copy your brain and place it into your clone I never think about that because I prefer to give my Bitcoin as a legacy for my family. I trying to believe they can use Bitcoin with right and grow it for their future and their descendants. I will teach my family especially the person that I trust about how to use Bitcoin and grow it. So I don't have to worry if I leave them forever because they have knowledge to use Bitcoin. But if that is using AI, that will depend on how good the technology and how I can trust the AI to take care of our money for our family. That still too far from us to see AI or robot that we can ask for help to take care our money.

Sometimes I wonder where some people's imaginations can lead. OP, isn't it easier to teach your family how to use Bitcoin while you're alive than to trust your assets to a machine? Any machine can make mistakes; I'm not sure AI can be perfect. And yes, I feel sorry for your family, since there is no one smart enough to exist without your presence in their lives. Maybe you are greatly exaggerating your importance.

The way we want our bitcoin to be used depend on us after we die, the AI digital clone you're referring to here is also not human, instead, they are robots made to act like humans and to be it will only be a wasted effort for us to transfer all our wealth to machines instead of our family, but if we think that is what could be of interest to us, then we can take step on working this out and also understand the conditions involved< while as for me, it's never a go.

With how advanced the technology right now, I believe that could really happen in the future. Having our own AI version of ourselves could be somehow possible but I don’t think the performance will be excellent compared to our own performance while we are alive. Everything with AI is computer programmed and generated, so if ever something could happen to our bitcoin investment all of a sudden, I don’t think such AI will be able to respond to it impressively. Meanwhile, even if there would appear as such, I’d still prefer to pass my bitcoin to my own family. Now, what if they can’t be trusted? I guess not all of them have the same thinking, there’s still one or two left that is responsible to manage your bitcoin investment.

I was going to ask you how old you are and I see that you put in your personal text something about adulthood, anyway. I can tell you don't have children because leaving your bitcoins to what to this day is nothing more than an LLM doesn't make sense otherwise. You might as well have thought of some form of transhumanism and think that you won't have to leave any inheritance and you can use them yourself. In short what I see is like wishful thinking with little knowledge of the technology.

It's not reasonable even if uptainable to have an AI double clone of ourselves, what essence can that be for me not to gift my bitcoin holding to my family members who are full humans and can spend money instead give it to an AI bot. This make no sense at all and I won't allow that to happens, the highest level of my usage of AI is just as assistance aside that I won't consider AI for any major personal task like handling finance's.

Cant be able to deny nor be able to ignore that AI is advancing or developing on which it could come into a point that we would be ending up or having this kind of probability on having this kind of cloning but to think about into those features above on what you have said then it might take a while that someone could be replaced at the moment we die. Also, im not that on the idea that when i passed away on which the funds that i have been accumulated will be controlled with some robots and trying out to make up that kind of paying up bills and giving out money into my family. Its understandable that we wont be liking for those coins or money to be wasted but come to think that this was our main goal or target into the first place is on how to give our family a good life and thats why we do save up money or accumulate Bitcoin for the future of our family. Once I die, then they do deserve on using up funds in full control and i wont be that objecting that out. Instead on thinking about on AI overtake or having a clone, I would rather be thinking up some ways or methods for which my coin would be surely be gotten by my family once i do pass away and wont be putting up those coins in total waste just because you havent that being prepared for this moment. If ever there would be some viable options along the way then we can opt in for us to make use on then its not a bad idea on making it use as long it would be relevant and having that actual or real usage.

How will they be able to get a copy of your memory? Explain please, I didn't understand. Trying to pass your own consciousness into an AI technology doesn't sound well for me because these crazy people like Trump and Putin will do that and after their death, we might have their AI versions but at this point I think we aren't at that level because it's impossible to force someone sit for months for 24 hours a day and accurately answer asked questions. If we invent an equipment that will be able to read our thoughts, then that will be a gamechanger. By the way, I don't understand why should someone want to let commercial company control its money through a fake AI consciousness instead of giving it to their own relatives. Some people like crazy ideas. We have seen how some people give their wealth to their dog or cat, how some people marry on mannequin and how many crazy things they do.

Me either but that is why there is none yet and the OP is only talking about the possibility of it in the future. So far what we only have is like a digital picture of our self or emoji. Instead of making stuff easier, I will say that an idea like this can provide great timing according on what our topic here. While if it is about the other thing that the OP said like for automatically paying our bills, deposits in our investments, and the likes.. then yeah, it really can make our life easier but this thing exist already. Yeah it is but for the other, I think that is also cool. You know, some people can be lonely and then people around them can care less on them.
