@mahgister did you just use AI to help edit your post? If so, it looks good. If not, even better. OP - good suggestion. I think we all could use a little editing here and there.
AI and how you use it.
How many of us ask AI before we pose a question on a forum? I have noticed that several times if I didn’t know the answer. I would go ask AI, and post the response, because it looks to be somewhat accurate. I usually do this if I’ve noticed someone hasn’t responded to an inquiry.
I’ve also noticed there is complaints that sometimes it’s not accurate. Funny how people are expecting a toddler to run like Usain Bolt. Give the child a couple years and it’s gonna blow all of our minds.
One last thing, a shout out to the admin for working through, which was obviously a hack from 🇰🇵 or 🇷🇺 and making the site usable once again.

Thanks... Yes i used Google translator...My English hemisphere was bugged this evening...This post is from it... You must understand i never spoke English in my life. I only read bad written books with very specialized vocabulary about philosophy or sciences. I think it is will better if i use translator anyway instead of typing from my French thinking into English thought...

Your concern captures one of the oldest archetypes in human imagination: the pact with power. From Prometheus to Goethe’s Faust, the pattern is clear — every leap in capability tempts us with the risk of losing something essential. AI is simply the newest surface on which this ancient anxiety is projected. But equating AI with an inevitable “enclosed artificial sphere” or a total loss of freedom overlooks two important truths:
So yes, there is a cost. There is always a cost. But that cost is not pre-written as the loss of our soul. It’s written in our policies, our ethics, and our courage to treat AI as a servant of human flourishing rather than as a surrogate deity. Progress is not free — but neither is fear. The challenge is to engage these systems without surrendering our agency, so that the “sphere” we create is not a prison, but a commons. Would you like me to make the tone more polemical (matching the original’s rhetorical intensity) or more measured and scholarly (like a philosophical rebuttal)? |
Everything you say seems correct in what can be said about tools throughout history. The problem with AI isn’t so much what you raise, but what you don’t perceive or what you forget. First: AI is not just a "tool" in the sense of an object that can be used for certain actions. It is an exteriorization of a part of the human soul, a manifestation of a part of us as a spirit to which no other "tool" can compare or measure up.An agent. AI is the empowerment of technological processes beyond human direction. AI is only a tool in appearance. In truth, humans are tools in this process and will soon be no longer the pilots.And it is almost already the case. To remain the driver of this process, the human community must access a level of collective consciousness about the social fabric that it currently lacks. Secondly, AI, because it is not just a simple tool, but will become—it is already growing—an agent which will be able to give the full appearance of consciousness.
A.I. in the cosmos form a singular artificial autonomous sphere closed in itself from which Star Trek borg is the cartoonish caricature.

As I said, our social fabric is tripartite: culture/spirit-politics-economics, but the control offered by AI, in its beginning state or phase, to oligarchic elites, as in the case of totalitarian China, presupposes the reduction of this tripartite interrelated dimensional workings to a single dimension of control with the illusion of freedom but no real freedom. Europe, and the West in general, is heading rapidly towards dictatorship.Since covid nothing is more evident. Otherwise, I could agree with everything you say with the same reason and the same optimism, but you are overlooking the essential point. The machine is no longer a tool except in appearance; the tool is us. This "technology" is not mere progress; it is much more: a spiritual test. All of this is described by several people ( i studied three of them one is a scientist studying consciousness (not Anirban) ,one an independant thinker studying Aliens and one a powerful seer from who i read 200 books) who, without knowing each other, have come to similar conclusions from completely different perspectives . I didn’t invent this on my own.I could not. |
Here's a perfect example. I was thinking about a tube preamp and whether it would be compatible with my active speaker amps. I asked Claude to look up the impedance of the RCA inputs. It informed me, with great certainty, that the amps only had XLR inputs because they were professional grade models. Really surprising given that I've been using the RCA inputs for two weeks. |
