Are we robots or Human beings?

Question from the Internet:

“Is personal computer artificial intelligence (AI)?”

As long as we consider “intelligence” performing fast and effective calculations, uploading and combining data and information, and we judge and value everything through efficiency, productivity, and other quantitative measures — the way we also measure people these days — then a personal computer is also “AI.”

And since we also try to behave and act “robotically,” discarding our most important and truly Human quality, which is our emotions and feelings that make us Human, we are also acting like “AI.”

We will become Human beings when we fully understand our emotional side, we also accept that all our inherent emotions and our actions based on our emotions are 100% self-serving, self-justifying, egocentric, and individualistic, and then we learn and practice how to use our intellect to aim and use our emotional driving force — our actual matter that gives us the sense of life is the desire that seeks fulfillment — for the sake of others and the benefit of all.

It is also then that we will know how to use all our tools — like personal computers and AI — for positive, constructive, and collectively beneficial goals and purposes.
