There's just a gap in my memory like going to sleep and not dreaming. The waking up was brutal though. I had zero context of anything around me but my brain was still fully functioning. It was weird. For context I was dead for half an hour and in a medical coma for a week or so.
I imagine that's how the first true ai will feel. It still will "know" information, how to speak, etc, but it will have no idea wtf is going on
Edit: apparently people haven't heard of CPR and doubt my claims.
Here's your evidence

Oh, I can assure you with the utmost confidence that you were not dead for half a hour. If you’re going to make something up, at least do a little googling beforehand.
Technically it is possible if the reason for cardiac arrest was hypothermia. The longest documented time between cardiac arrest and resuscitation is almost 7 hours. That's where the old adage "No one is dead until they are warm and dead." comes from.

“Most survivors had a favourable neurological outcome.” Fascinating. I suppose I stand corrected on many points here. Thanks for the link!
For the record, I still roundly call bullshit on OP’s claim here :) Feels like dying in a snow drift or something would be a detail they’d include.
I didn't want to include the cause of death because it seems even more outlandish and unbelievable than the duration of death, and the cause of death essentially deanonymizes my account. But I guess this username is already toasted from being used too much so I added evidence to my op.
Dude. I stand corrected and I apologize. I am generally incredulous on the internet as a rule, and I figure my defenses were particularly high given the sort of woo-woo shit that comes with a post like this.
Sorry. If it counts for anything I learned a metric fuckton from this exchange.
No worries bro. I got way more upset than I needed to. We're good, my friend.
I really should start lying and say I saw the matrix or something. Give the woo-woos an aneurysm.
It's also possible if you get cpr the entire time like we did.
I can assure you I was. I was getting CPR the entire time. Maybe don't run your mouth without knowing the full story?
I wasn't the only one that went down in this accident either, the other kid was out for 38 minutes. Again, CPR the entire time
And if you're wondering why they kept trying cpr for so long, it was because they were our teachers and the SRO who all knew us.
