This is my view, today,from a different angle of the looking glass. Our survival system was formed millions of years ago, primarily related to gut instincts for survival. As the brain developed, so did the ability of the brain to remember and store more sophisticated methods of survival. Today we call most of this The Ego. An amazing form of intelligence that we believe is our truth, that dominates our lives. It can shut down our nervous systems, deeply impact them, flight fight or freeze, creates separation, divisiveness thru allegiance to different silos, religion, gender etc. Could we call this artificial intelligence? Yes, it came into use to “protect “ us but actually served to separate us from the deeper Flow of Intelligence that is Life itself.
And then I remember, All that is in form returns to the formless.
Really insightful essay! It is also one of the most optimistic perspectives I have read on AI. Some consider it just another "disruptive technology" that like nuclear energy poses potential existential danger, but your take strikes me as far more pragmatic than most of what i read on the subject.
Very succinct and touching, and honest.
