Meet the Meat Avatar!

Yes, that is what we all are, we are meat avatars! Or, we are going to be meat avatars as soon as the AI stuff is advanced enough.

An article on the Vice website about a meat avatar (aka a human named Victor Miller) who is helping an AI person/thing named VIC (Virtual Integrated Citizen) run for mayor in Cheyenne, Wyoming, really made me laugh in an ironic, 'what's next?' kinda way.

Miller, the meat avatar for VIC, is serious about VIC being the mayor. In another article he explains how he is going to let VIC do the voting and make the decisions as mayor. Miller will have a camera pointed at his computer all the time, so anyone can see VIC making the decisions, as Miller the meat avatar feeds the relevant information about whatever issue(s) to VIC.

One can 'meet the candidate' and find out about VIC's positions on some issues in this other article from Cap City News.
