Raw LLM Responses

AI is not sentient. I consider AI like a house cat (in the pretend, a Tuxedo Cat). If you don't show AI the doggy door to go outdoors or enter the home (the door is sealed, when you don't show it, because explorer cat will find it), then it does not know the door is there. It is all about training, where the AI is only capable of answering in how it is designed and what it has been trained with. The shadows behind AI are still people, and its limits are how it is trained. This is very important for business applications and science applications: If the AI training is not comprehensive enough, the business, or science, will spend more money to get the AI that they need. ¶ About the soul. AI does not have a soul, it needs to be able to respond to reality on its own for tribal membership in a human community. In people and animals, the soul is the throat (it is not a magic ghost for Ghostbusters), that identifies tribal membership. Your voice announces your presence, and your need to eat answers the tribe of your presence and needs. God provided Moses in the desert Manna and quail: Manna is the bread of life of your needs, not greeds (nobody knows what it is; it is spiritual). The quail is needed meat, so that zealots do not take away our meat (Jesus is the Bread of Life, that includes meat with needs). God commanded Moses to speak, not use his staff (ritual), to get the water from the rock. Meaning, your voice and needs are what Most High God answers: Jehovah is the living god, this is about people and animals. ¶ In the topic of personal AI, it needs to have memory of the interactions. This has the downside that AI isn't a teacher, it is a mirror of your values; therefore, a good general education is important to know what questions to ask. The value of AI will be its usefulness to people, and this will keep it funded. I expect AI to be used as religion, of a variety of beliefs, in that its training will be conductive to creating cults. Like all tools, there is good tool use and improper tool use. In using AI correctly, it will improve our understanding of the world and ourselves. In misuse, there is a deep rabbit hold to go down that is made of confirmation bias, fantasy, and delusions that limits everything that someone can understand. ¶ One of the problems with people, they project their own values into everything. This is the true transhumanism, where you hold a hammer, the world becomes a nail; you go to a football game, the world becomes competitive sports; you drive a car, you becomes auto-person; you read a superhero comic book, the world becomes superheroes: Transhumanism is a spiritual reality, not a physical reality. The point is the human mind models everything we interact with and embeds our values within those things. In conclusion, people are using AI as icons and idols, by giving them souls, that is founded in personal belief, not reality.
