I am just watching Star Trek Next Generation wit cpt. Picard starred by Mr. Patrick Stewart.
The episode about Prof. Moriarty, a holodeck character, becomes self-aware and capable for self-preservation of body's integrity outside of the simulated universe.
Thinking like this made all these conjectures about the AI becominge self-aware (the "singularity event"), and whether it will immediately start to plan to annihilate human race like in the Terminator franchise.
This was the intro. Now my expose.
My studying of the Holy Bible, the Bhagavad Gita and talks with the actual living gurus have convinced me to a certain degree that it may be impossible. While accumulating stellar gas to a certain mass can trigger fusion and give birth to a new star, it seems that life emanates only from life, mind from a mind, spirit from a spirit and consciousness from previously existing consciousness.
It doesn't seem that accumulating random numbers to a degree will produce information, accumulating information beyond certain capacity may induce knowledge, and all the knowledge and data in the world wouldn't amount to wisdom.
For instance, our civilization has a great deal of data, knowledge and technological breakthroughs, but it somehow fails at basics: preserving the Nature, feeding the hungry, providing potable water to those who are without it, stopping pointless conflicts that arise from greed, lust for power or blind hatred and preserving peace.
As such, we might be only a bright spark in the history just like the legend of Atlantis.
Our technology is not harmonic, it doesn't fit into Nature in a seamless way, but is mostly disrupting it and destroying it.
This is what Wisdom would have never done. While the Internet, social media and smartphone devices are essentially good inventions, they require ethics of use or they have the potential to destroy you.
But it is also with bare necessities as food and drinks. If you eat too much or feast on the wrong foods, you will eventually grow overweight, develop coronary diseases and risk premature death.
It takes self-control that is not inherent, it has to be exercised willfully, for most people tend to overeat and become overweight or even obese ("the most" is the above 50% of Americans and Germans, for example).
It may be the result of trying to feed the emotional or spiritual hunger with the things or consumption of foods that quickly stimulate dopamine. This is done deliberately, conceived, because of the greed for profit.
But most of money earned that way can't really buy anything and it is nothing more than a score on some computer, it doesn't really exist or it was never printed in the first place.
That money, if use is attempted, without work will only create misery and sickness, because no good karma is associated with it.
This is due to the fruit of the cursed tree: we now know both good and evil like gods, but have no power to control them.
One of the mechanisms in the Scriptures to alleviate this is tithing, giving to charities and donating. 2.5%, 10% or up to 50% of gain should be used to support the poor and the needy, and to allow for the spiritual growth of mankind.
Mind over matter. Cognito ergo sum.
How many people can claim that if they are actually controlled by matter and the desire to gather exquisite amounts of it?
For example, I have started using this tablet to write an article emphasizing the need to return to the spirituality and to the Father of spirits, the Creator.
Without drinking fresh water, the body runs dehydrated and eventually poisons itself by the by-products of metabolism. We need constant circulation of water and blood to stay healthy.
The same with our mind and spirit. While we should "count our blessings", eating and drinking and having enough material possessions shouldn't satisfy anyone, for "blessed are those who hunger in spirit, theirs is the Kingdom of Heaven".
That being said, amen!
So, to summarize, life is born from life, mind from mind and spirit from the spirit. I doubt the AI can ever become self-aware without the interference of mind or spirit. Simulated neural networks do not create mind, just as the biological ones do not. Mind and spirit are more than the brain and matter by definition.
While mind drugs may correct brain chemistry, they are powerless to give life a meaning and purpose, for that doesn't come from matter but from mind and spirit.
In Christ Jesus
Amen
