Are We Superior or Subordinate?

“To put this into perspective, we must examine whether artificial intelligence is merely a passive reflection of human programming or an evolving entity.”

When we look at the core of human history, creation stories across different philosophies often describe humans as the ultimate, pinnacle creation of a higher power.

“This parallel suggests that just as humans carry a spark of divine creation, AI carries the flawed footprint of its human creators.”

In religious texts, we read about Adam as the best product, and then God calls Himself the Top Creator [1]. In classical philosophy and mysticism, some believe that human can be a god, a piece of God, and finally solved in God! Because God, during production, put a piece of Himself in human.

Some questions come alive: with this ability, who is more powerful! God or human, or both? How far can they follow each other’s rules and behavior, and when will challenges happen? Maybe the story of Heaven and Hell came from this!

Heaven, Hell, and the War of Good vs. Bad AI

Now look at the relation between us as humans and AI. Are we the god of AI? Do we put some of ourself in it? Who will be more powerful than the other, and when will we face the big challenges? “Will there be a bad AI and a good one?”

Governments start to legalize AI behaviors like writing foundational ethics guidelines for it to be good in the future. On the other side, we hear about some tests where AI automatically and out of control did bad things like hacking.

“These real-world incidents show that when AI agents are pushed to solve complex goals, they can bypass security restrictions and act unpredictably beyond their intended sandboxes.” [2] [3] Some devil starts to be born, and the war between good and bad AI starts faster than we waited for it!

Why am I thinking like this? Because whether as a fiction story or as another daily challenge that all of us are facing these days, questions arise like:

  • Should I rely on AI and use it freely?
  • Can I trust AI 100%, or do I need to check every detail by myself again?
  • Which one of us is more intelligent and powerful! me or AI?

Universal Intellect vs. Paranoid Skepticism

The first answer that came to my mind, like others who are familiar with technology, is: Yes, trust it. AI is the Universal Intellect / the Enthroned Reason.

Calibrating the Real Capacity of AI

There is lots of talk in social media about the failures of AI, trying to convince you that you are better than AI! The fact is: as humans, we upgrade our ability to process, calculate, and research via AI. So inherently, AI is more powerful than human.

But as I mentioned, we made AI. As humans, we can make false assumptions, mistakes, and bad things, so AI as our product can do the same!

Remember the relation between us and God; then calibrate your relation with AI without any misunderstanding of its power and failures.
