AI vs. Collective Human Consciousness

Question from the Internet:

“Humans have been making inaccurate statements since the very beginning of humanity and 99.99% of time no one bats an eye, but when chatGPT makes false statements it’s “hold the presses”. Why is that?”

This is because we have already accepted our own fallibility, but we have been building up this histeria about AI being the super-intelligence, that will either solve all our problems, or will find its own consciousness and will destroy us all.

AI was going to become a new “God”, and of course when it turns out that it can make mistakes it shocks us.

In reality, AI is nothing more than a more advanced computer, that can make calculations faster and can make more comprehensive calculations than we can.

But at the end of the day, being a computer human beings created and program, AI cannot behave or flourish beyond the same boundaries we are also bound by.

Besides, since we created and we program AI through our inherently egocentric, subjective and individualistic mind and consciousness, that is incapable of computing and attaining reality “as it is”, we cannot expect any true breakthroughs from AI either, as it will do its magnificent calculations and predictions from within the same misguided and distorted reality we exist in, using the same false data and “facts” we feed to it.

In order to come to truly perfect and infallible computing and attainment of reality, we need to create a unique, “collective consciousness”.

When we all – or at least a so-called critical minority of people – learn how to selflessly perceive and experience reality through the desires and viewpoints of other people, while we rise above and abandon our inherently egocentric, subjective and individualistic worldview, we can liberate ourselves from all our present boundaries and restrictions, even from sensing time, space, physical life or death.

And while it sounds even more mystical than AI taking over the world, this is actually a tangible and realistic state and future we can achieve with the help of a unique, purposeful and practical method. Our only chance of truly understanding where we exist, who we are, and how we can adapt ourselves to the world we live in is by becoming similar to nature’s finely balanced and mutually integrated system through our own semaless integration nwith each other. Then, just as we gain a unique systematic consciousness through the mutual integration and mutual complementation of our cells, organs, subsystems and the microbiome of our bodies, humanity can also gain the above mentioned “collective consciousness” and the resulting window and scope of attainment to the “real world”.
