This immediately made me think of a video I watched with the remote viewing guy on YT who said he "saw" in one of his sessions where there was a lab and they were doing things like "disappearing" people; said he had a bad feeling about this. The drawings he did about it reminded me of on Star Trek when Kirk and the gang would get transported out to where ever they were going. One minute you're there, and then you fade away and are gone. Imagine they could zap you away to wherever it is they send you and then use this AI to make everyone thing you're still here.
