A version of you created by AI, and let's say your virtual reality, is a hypnotist. It would be just as designed to hypnotize you specifically and it would be so powerful. The two of you think the same thing for a while until you start being comfortable that since you're always thinking the same thing, that the thoughts that are coming directly from the hypnotist become substitutes for your own thoughts. That's how powerful these AI representations of yourself will be. They will be like the hypnotist. If you don't understand how powerful this is, you're going to. You will.
