Can AI become indispensable or even invincible?
Question from the Internet:
“How long until AI turns from indispensable to invincible?”
AI is neither indispensable nor it is invincible. Not now and not in the future.
AI might look “indispensable” as long as we reduce human life to a set of protocols and regulations when we measure the “success” of our lives based on efficiency, productivity, and other quantitative measures.
The life we are pursuing — especially in the West — where everything and everybody are measured through their monetary value, social or celebrity status, where we accept that the purpose of life is to consume and to rule over others is not a “Human” life.
And as long as we pursue this “inhumane” life, AI and other technologies like the Internet, for example, seem indispensable. And since our aim is to control, manipulate, and exploit others or even destroy them if “necessary,” we might also consider some of our technology “invincible.”
Since we reduced human existence to a dumbed down and extremely simplistic “robotic” or “zombie” existence, we worship technology and AI since robots and AI can “live” this “robotic” or “zombie” lifestyle much more efficiently than the “fallible” humans.
We are seemingly “fallible” because we are primarily emotional beings. Whether we admit it or not, whether we are aware of it or not, we are completely controlled by our feelings, moods, and the different emotional impressions we receive every moment.
Our Human intellect is an auxiliary tool for interpreting, sorting, and preparing our feelings and emotional impressions. Moreover, everything we experience is 100% egocentric and subjective since we filter, compute, and assess everything according to our own feelings, aspirations, and “dreams.”
But this does not actually make us “fallible.” It is specifically our emotional capacity — especially when we learn how to decipher, sort, and control our emotions through conscious and directed intentions — that makes us superior to anything else in nature.
When we consciously and purposefully learn and practice how to sort and control our emotions and desires through conscious and directed intentions, we also start connecting our “controlled emotions” into a single field of emotions and, through that, start feeling, enjoying, and fulfilling one another, we can rise to a qualitatively much higher level of “truly Human” existence.
As a result of our common “emotional field,” we will also develop a common or collective intellect that can decide, sort, and compute our collective and mutual emotions. And this common or collective Human intellect — that is based on our collective and common emotions that are directed and combined through specific and purposefully directed intentions — we will gain unprecedented and complete attainment of nature’s mutually integrated system, which is also an “emotional system” that is based on the “primordial emotion of love.”
This emotion is “true and unblemished love,” which means a totally selfless and unconditional devotion and commitment to feel and fulfill all and any desires and needs of others. Only based on this “true and natural love” can nature’s system survive and create life. And when we consciously and purposefully learn and practice how to love one another like nature does, then we will finally understand and enjoy everything nature’s unlimited and perfect system has to offer.
Only this “true and natural love” is indispensable and invincible since only this emotion and the forces it operates can create and nurture life. How can a super-computer, like AI, which is based on “simple” 1 or 0 calculations, even touch, let alone comprehend and feel emotions like love?!
We will be able to put AI and all other technology into its correct place when we start aspiring for and making efforts to become “truly Human.”
