the fact it fries roasts and boils your mind isn't a side effect its a feature.
and you may think it would have made sense as a feature if it were Arasaka's product but
it wasn't. it was made by Alt Cunningham.
it doesn't look like a feature does it, why would you kill the original?
without that feature soul killer would simply mirror a copy of the engram like David Brin's homolougus imprinting concept(kiln people).
but Alt had another goal in mind. she wanted body swaps.
body swapping opens options.
you could travel the world cheaply, you could hire a cheap person from a 3rd world country to do your entry level job,
you can trade youth for money, you can change your gender.
these requires deleting the original to prepare
the body for each swap.
now question is, does a MoE AI system need Brin's version/Cunningham's version both or maybe even some compromise version?
