I am bemused by the deluge of credulous drivel being written about self-styled AI (Artificial Intelligence) across the blogosphere.
But, unfortunately it confirms what I wrote five years ago, and which now seems worth revisiting.
AI will be worse than whatever it replaces - but it will happen anyway; this because AI is an extension of bureaucracy, and bureaucracy was worse than what it replaced (Much worse); but bureaucracy happened anyway.
For so long as this world is ruled via bureaucracy, for so long will AI be imposed not only despite its being worse, but also because of the way that it is worse.
Which is that AI is dehumanizing - entraining Men to 'process' like computers - thus destructive of thinking; is anti-spiritual, and a short-cut to self-damnation.
Put like that; it's obvious why AI is irresistible to the demonic global totalitarians rulers, their deluded minions, and the corrupted masses over whom they rule.
@Allenford - Let's not add fuel to the topical frenzy by falling into the mainstream discourse.
ReplyDeleteI’ve thought before that AI is the perfect venue for CS Lewis’ “materialist magician”. A sufficiently advanced technology that literally can’t do what it claims, but is complex enough that men think it can, being used by the diabolic.

ReplyDeleteAI/ChatGPT is, like you say, complex in its own way, but ultimately superficial dreck. Which raises a question with me: Why is evil so attracted to the superficial?
Note that by superficial I do not mean simple. Evil loves the complex, the rococco thesis; lengthy word-salads to explain why a biological man is really a woman, for example. It avoids the fundamental, the root causes and simplicity of physical and biological laws (and, it follows, the Ten Commandments).
Any thoughts on the cause of evil's attraction to the superficial? Thank you.
@A-G - "Why is evil so attracted to the superficial?" Evil does whatever it believes will damn most effectively. And, after all, evil can Only Be superficial - the depths (and beauties) of real creation are impossible to evil.
