31. 16/VI/24: genesis 2,2
I've always felt quite disgusted by the entire topic of AI, but the other day I heard something that felt more interesting to me
they said that AI is our creation. we are AI's creators. we are AI's God
today is sunday. the seventh day. on the seventh day we rest from all our work. it's a bible verse, and it reminded me of that conversation
we made AI in our image, to our likeness, just like god made us in their image, to their likeness
(in the english translation of the bible I'm reading, it says "in our image, to our likeness", hence me using "their" to refer to God)
we made it look similar to us, speak similar to us, behave as close to us as code can allow it, and we're constantly striving to make it moer and more close to us
and something about us considering ourselves gods of everything, not just the planet, which isn't our creation, but also creating things to make them submit to us and consider us its gods
but that kind of contradicts the bible
the "in our image, to our likeness" verse is genesis 1,26, and it also talks about humans being created to hold dominance over everything that existed
the thing is, AI didn't exist when the bible was written, so is us ruling over AI going against the bible?
this entry is actually inspired by the encouragement of one of my friends to read the bible, I didn't really have any other reason to do it
and to be honest, I might do it at this rate. I've heard that the apocalypse part is pretty good (just kidding)
god fucking damn it, I can't focus with the television on. I might pick this up again later
meanwhile, I leave you with the wall of text that made my friend say "you could read the bible"
What do you mean, you want to run away?
What do you want to run away from?
What do you *have*, to run away from?
A group of friends? A family? A decent job, and a career in university?
Toys, books, consoles, clothes.
Is that what you want to run away from?
Is it the lack of hardship?
The stable life that you have?
Do you know how many people wish they had your life going on?
Some people would literally kill you in order to replace you.
You are a moron for not realizing that.
A stupid and blissfully unaware moron.
And guess what?
You're a coward too.
The doors to that train are closing.
And you're standing still on the wrong platform.
