What is the role of AI and Human beings in life?
Question from the Internet:
“How can AI help us in daily life?”
We can use AI, robots, and automation to cater to our basic, modern, and natural necessities.
Then, we can focus on being Human beings, which we have neglected for a long time.
Human beings are emotional creatures. We experience life through our sensations, and the most important elements and attributes in us are our capability to love and hate, to connect and reject, and to cooperate and fight each other.
Especially in Western society, we reduced life to simple protocols, equations, and quantitative measures. We became afraid to open up and explore our vast capacity for emotions. We foolishly simplified human emotions, thinking that love can exist without concomitant hate and that we can build unity without experiencing the instinctive urge to separate and ruthlessly compete with each other at the same time.
We ourselves aim to become simple robots that use only their mental faculties — although it is simply impossible since our mind is only an auxiliary tool to help and support our emotions — and experience life through producing and consuming goods and obtaining artificial pleasures and fulfillment.
So, if we want to become “truly Human,” we will need to relearn and re-experience that we have the capability to experience and feel contrasting and opposing emotions and states at the same time. We have to understand and accept that without such vast contrast and without balancing extreme opposites, we can’t even verify or acknowledge what we feel, who we are, and what we really need. Only through sharp contrasts and comparative research of impressions can we locate ourselves and perceive reality in truth.
Thus, while AI and robots help us cater to our natural necessities, we need a unique Human education in a safe environment where we can gradually open up and explore all our feelings and emotions and sense love against hate, unity against separation, and happiness against sadness and grief in order to also learn how to balance and complement such diverse and contrasting states and feelings.
Only when we already know how to explore, fully feel, and balance all the opposite emotions and states in us can we build real, lasting, and mutually complementing Human relationships and rebuild human societies on stable foundations.
