I would love to see options for body enchantment. Becoming a cyborg is a very attractive thing, and no virtual worlds required. Can be real humans on real planets

Yes, I would expect distinctions between human and machine to weaken. I mean, why would one stay stupid and weak?

My humanity is a virtue. At least, that's what the Ghost in the Shell remake told me.

Maybe it is, maybe it isn't - that's kind of the point of GitS, thinking about the philosophical implications of merging human and machine.

Yes, that's what I meant.

In a world with strong AI, old-school humans would be pathetic. Hybrids, however, could build synergistically on the strengths of all components.

Yes, of course it is. But you obviously use computers, for example. Maybe even a smartphone. And use remote services to communicate, obtain information, and so on. Probably use vehicles to move faster and carry more stuff.

So why not just integrate all those machines better?
