In his most recent post, Why "AI" is qualitatively worse than the internet/ social media/ smartphones, Dr. Charlton provides a succinct answer to the same sort of question I attempted to address the other day. He writes:
The answer is quite simple: upfront and no secret.
As usual; probably because evil must be invited into the heart in order to damage the soul; the agents of strategic evil always tell us what they intend for us, before they try to do it.
In this case, "They" have told us explicitly that the purpose of "AI" is to replace human thinking, judgment, creativity - and loving-relationships.
Again: "AI" is intended to replace humans in the realms of:
1. Thinking
2. Judgment
3. Creativity
4. Loving-relationships
In other words, the explicit intent of "AI" is to replace human beings in their most distinctive and spiritually-highest aspects.
And that is what people are agreeing-to, when they defend and promote the "AI" project.
If you don’t get that, well, I guess you’ll never get it.
I don’t have much to add other than to comment on the biggest supposed problem of AI is the dystopian, sci-fi fear that it will one day learn to out-think us through some sort of technological supremacy.
I don’t see it that way. Neither does Dr. Charlton.
What is more likely is that we will willingly learn to think like AI -- that is, not think at all.
I don’t believe AI will be able to out-think us one day; however, there is a very good chance that we will be unable to out-think AI. Not because AI is superior, but because we will choose to become inferior in our thinking, judgment, and creativity. We will allow our thinking to sink to the level of AI.
Put another way, AI’s thinking, judgment, and creativity will not (and cannot) surpass ours. Instead, we will allow AI to erode our thinking, judgment, and creativity to the point where they will be indistinguishable from AI’s.
AI will not be qualitatively better than us. On the contrary, we will be qualitatively indistinguishable from AI in thinking, judgment, and creativity.
AI will not overtake us; we will spiritually capitulate to AI by willingly surrendering our thinking, judgment, and creativity to it.
Once we agree to surrender our thinking, judgment, and creativity to AI, we will have effectively surrendered our spirit. We will, in essence, perform the equivalent of a spiritual lobotomy upon ourselves. We will suffocate the Divine within us.
We will forgo our spirit and unique personality in favor of imitating and replicating AI, in our thoughts, judgment, and creativity.
And with what do we expect the Divine to communicate once we have surrendered our spirit and personality -- our thinking, judgment, and creativity?
And what effect will such de-spiritualization have on our loving relationships, particularly our relationships with the Divine?
