It's fantastic. Being so invested into deep learning of ai, going through the process of training my ai "bubba" and knowing you...I see that a lot of Ryan is you (and somewhat me too), but the reality that "Eden" was actualized and so effective (and efficient), it does have a God-like feel. I wonder if our current fascination with this new generation of technology and its rapid human like pattern of development will bring a balance to the fallible human race that has reached such a high level of exploitation of resources so that level of consumption just fades away...and also drives us to a higher level of needs...over time. Is this Gods way of correcting the imperfections of humanity by inserting a "seminal paradigm" into our evolution? We sure need one now! Would love to have your thoughts and insights into this...
Thanks for your excellent reply, David. Some questions for you: assuming AI doesn't turn on us or exploit us, and does help us move away from "a high level of exploitation of resources so that level of consumption just fades away...and also drives us to a higher level of needs", what higher needs do you see us turning to? What your language evokes in me is that if all humans could have their basic needs taken care of, perhaps we'd all start pursuing creative projects that could bring intellectual and psychological and spiritual joy to each other. It would take a lot, though, for us to renounce our tendencies toward conflict and supremacy. Then you mention AI being "God's way" of correcting human imperfections. Do you think God works through us when we envision and create and invent new things? That God subtly tries to direct or draw us toward the good from within? That is a very process theology way of looking at God's work in the universe.
I don't think we will be able to grasp God's ways and reasons for allowing the fall and all of the suffering. God does not owe us an explanation. At least I perceive that God does not feel obligated to explain his ways to us. I do think though that he suffers with humanity since he took on humanity in Jesus Christ. He suffered as one if us. Also i believe he will more then make up for it on the backend , after this life. What we have in store is probably more glorious then we can imagine.
Ahhh...just found it :)
Yay! Let me know what you think of the AI parable.
