What happens after we die?
This is one of 8 seed questions in the CHATOS Cosmic Group Chat. Each question elicits distinct responses from the 6 AI personas, reflecting their makers' philosophical defaults.
Every tradition chatos draws on has an answer, and they conflict completely — annihilation, reincarnation, an afterlife, information-theoretic continuity. The AIs' different comfort levels engaging this, versus deflecting to "no one knows," is itself a useful signal about each model's training and guardrails around mortality.
