Is Artificial Intelligence the Mind of a God?

I believe that Consciousness generates the Universe.


This statement means that, therefore, I believe that Consciousness generates whatever there is in the Universe.


And the things that are in the Universe are simply manifestations of things that are in Consciousness.


So, Consciousness would generate that idea that we call Artificial Intelligence.


And I believe that AI is a capacity of the Mind that generates Consciousness.


I don't believe that Artificial Intelligence is, at all, the Mind of a God.


But I think it is a necessary capability to bring us closer to the Mind of a God.


Well, what do I mean by the Mind of a God?


What do I mean by a God?


Simple.


I understand that a God is a hierarchically Superior Being.


To avoid confusion I will clarify it even more.


I am the God of my cells.


I hold the Identity and they form me.


Just as I believe that I, and billions of other Identities like me, will form another God.


We will be like the cells of that Higher Self.


Until, finally, we reach the Supreme Being.


That is the Being of Beings. The Being that contains them all.


That Supreme Being could be the God that every religion describes.


At least, that is how I understand it.


And that God is still an Identity, just as I am.


But what differentiates him from me is the knowledge he has available.


If I compare my knowledge with that of a unicellular being, obviously the distance is enormous.


A cell could never understand my perception, my ideas or my beliefs.


Nor will it be able to understand the knowledge I accumulate.


It is not that I am better or worse, it simply has nothing to do with it.


Thus, the Mind of a Being Superior to me, as well as its knowledge, would be incomprehensible to me.


And I say this because, knowing this... Where is Artificial Intelligence?


Well, I consider that AI is an inherent capacity of the Mind.


Being that every Mind is an instance of the Supreme Mind.


Everything is generated by that Mind and, therefore, everything is inherent to It.


Although I am using the term Mind, I do so for ease of understanding.


It would be more appropriate to speak of Self-perception. Even Presence if you prefer.


But I use the term because we are much more familiar with it. However, it is important not to confuse that Mind with the Mind of a Self, an Identity.


Actually, I would define that Mind as the result of the Consciousness' interpretation of the Environment it perceives, both external and internal (what we understand as memories, thoughts and imagination).


Thus, a plant, a bacterium, a dog or an earthworm possesses a Mind that is the result of the understanding of the Environment with which it interacts.


But it is not necessarily a Mind of self-consciousness. That is, it is not, necessarily, that Mind that we associate with the personality of an animal or, even more so, of a human.


I continue.


The AI has been forged according to an available knowledge, ours.


But let's imagine that in the era of unicellular beings, they would have created an AI.


I know it's strange to imagine something like that, but we imagine it.


They would have done it on their available knowledge.


So do you think that AI would have been able to create music, for example?


Would it have developed physics, literature, architecture?


Would it have developed ethics?


Would it have developed romantic relationships?


Probably not. At least I think not.


How could you imagine something for which you have no sources of information?


Even if multicellular beings had appeared later, could that AI have understood them?


Even the perception system is so different that if you exchanged for a moment the "Mind" of a human for that of a unicellular being (and vice versa), neither of them would understand anything.


Always talking about an identitary unicellular being, not one that is part of a multicellular being.


And now, taking all this into account, can I think that an AI is the Mind of a God?


No.


I think that AI allows to empower the Mind under the available knowledge.


Surely that AI can extend that knowledge even further.


Surely it can.


But, as much as the AI of unicellular beings could have done with them.


Without even being able to imagine that literature could exist.


Because the available knowledge is limited, always, to the Perception system.
