A Short essay by Mike Zizis
November 19, 2024
AI is probably ruled by Neptune. This would be analogous to money being ruled by Neptune. Take the most advanced artificial intelligence of the moment or of the future. These tools are not a product of wetwear 500 million years and refined in the making. All of our senses regardless of what manner of creature must go through an emotional component hunger, fight/ flight, lovemaking, reproduction etc. Thinking is not any old whatsit we want to label as thinking. We are as a species in a hurry to assassinate emotions. Don’t believe me? Bring out the limitations of artificial intelligence to someone working in the field and you will be barraged by emotions and emotional response.
Collective beliefs are assigned to Neptune. This includes entrenchment of collective beliefs. Ask your screwdriver, wrench, bread knife, wheelbarrow, or drill press about a tormented spouse driven to murder and whether they should be imprisoned and possibly executed. You know where this is going. If we blindly allow machines to decide the fates of people including their executions… Well you know. Take any state actor that promotes state-sponsored executions and then give them AI to make decisions. Biases don’t get wished away, but they do get programmed into machines.
Take the most advanced form of artificial intelligence now or 30 years future — put it in a building with the roof burning and will still go on its merry way mimicking and emulating some form of non-human function. And it will burn down with that building. We have replaced Angels and Demons and The Greek gods with the new god on the block artificial intelligence and its cadre of true believers without any critical analysis of its extraordinary limits. It is shocking how much AI gets wrong; true Believers say what they always say someday someday someday… It is our common mistake to label sensing types as thinkers. And so it goes.
