The advent of artificial intelligence has led to a significant transformation in the way we live our lives. Virtual life is a reflection of real life. Such a state of affairs is not, in fact, real; it is, rather, an imaginary construct. The essence of literary excellence lies in its ability to render the intangible and the unreal as tangible and real as possible. Similarly, technology employs a comparable approach, yet the outcomes of both are distinct. According to the creative power of the reader, literature makes the idea a reality.

The modification of genes raises the question of whether it is possible to use not only crops and animals but also humans as tools for advancing human interests.Technology is merely a tool; who is entitled to utilize it? To what end may it be employed? Who may procure the technology? Or, conversely, who may develop the technology?In all sincerity, the latter inquiry pertains to humanity's aspiration to become God through technology. This pursuit manifests in the creation of a machine-made universe and system. However, in accordance with the precedent set by humanity itself, if it is indeed the case that such a system was devised. Even the mechanical sy.…
