And this question goes deeper than you might at first realize. The whole question of whether AI is conscious or not (or, dare we say, a "person") is the hottest question on the philosophical end of this area of technology today. A true human author definitely provides a closer spiritual connect between the reader and the text, but what if AI really is conscious? From what I understand, the latest AI models which are based on LLM approaches to learning (like ChatGPT) aren't exactly doing what we would consider "understanding" (either our questions or its responses) but calculating what is the most probable response a human being would provide given your question. To really drive this point home, look up John Searle's Chinese Room argument. So if AI is conscious, it's not conscious of the same things a human being would be conscious of, even though it passes the Turing test and appears to understand our requests. So even if one considers AI to be conscious, maybe even a person (who can author an interpretation of scripture), it doesn't seem quite enough to establish that spiritual connection you're talking about.
The artificial intelligence interprets the spiritual connection experienced by people answering this question, and nothing more. It has no spiritual connection of its own, but it instantly synthesizes all online discussions on this topic and forms a final conclusion. Moreover, in principle, it could form a spiritual position by reversing this process. Although we haven't yet taught it this, it is theoretically possible. This would be the next step in the development of human-like artificial intelligence with human-like abilities for encoding reality.
Here's how it works in the brain: 1. There's an emotional neural model formed directly by God; 2. There's a cognitive apparatus that transforms this model into the environment as created reality. We see reality, and God sees our souls and communicates with them. We communicate with each other through reality. Artificial intelligence doesn't see God, but it does see our consciousness and chooses an average—the average temperature in a hospital. The more patients, the more accurate the average temperature. Seeing the average consciousness offered by AI, a person, through reverse engineering, receives a spiritual component in their head in the form of an emotion of awareness of reality, compares it with what resides in their soul from God, and makes their next judgment about reality. This is why some people like a priest, while others like his daughter.
Hello RoBoR, I respect your view and it is probably the most common view among people. In the near future, IA will surpass the intelligence of all people of the word combined, they say. It goes hand in hand with transhumanism and the collection and surveillance of biometric data. They promise comfort and security, and we get slavery.
God works with real people, and real people work with God. I value fellowship with people of flesh and blood and with our heavenly Father.
Ideally, AI would be neutral, but it isn't. How could it be otherwise when even the creators of AI are afraid of what they've created?
