AI Does Not Have a Dream Body (Use It Or Lose It)

Rogier:
I still don’t really get where to draw the line. What if the technology enables you to do things that you couldn’t do before, or at least much faster (just like any machine, e.g. a car does)? I don’t know that it has to mean that you’re outsourcing intelligence (just like an architect isn’t ‘outsourcing’ intelligence to the construction workers).

The Seer:
For clarity’s sake and to avoid oversimplifying the answer to a black and white / everything or nothing answer, consider the following:

• The problem does not entail whether or not AI exists, nor whether it should be used at all. It becomes a problem when it replaces human skills and effort; rather than adding to human skills, replacing it.
• What is not used, becomes lost. For instance, medications that replace functions of the body, rather than stimulate them, weaken the body. Relying on AI to perform functions and skills humans are capable of, weakens the human race. It is a matter of “use it or lose it”.
• What blesses humans’ work is the emotions that they infuse into the actions they perform; the result of their work is enlivened (it can communicate with awareness particles and in this way effect the environment) by the soulforce their emotions attract.
• AI does not have a soul (dream body).
• The intrinsic value of any deed, lies in the motives and intent that motivated it. If the intent of using AI is to speed up and accomplish more, quicker, then the result is thrusting an unprepared humanity into a future they are ill-equipped to deal with.

To do more, quicker by taking the AI shortcut to future accomplishments, creates a wrinkle in time and skips the necessary steps of maturation of a gracefully and slowly unfolding future, that would prepare humanity to meet future challenges.

Here’s what you ask yourself to determine the answers for yourself:

1. Will my relying on AI in this instance, inspire me to produce more or less? (You aren’t considering whether the end results will be more or less, but rather if you will be, i.e. whether it adds to, or detracts from you.)
2. Use the criteria of, ‘is it replacing what I can do myself, or is it adding to what I do myself?’ to help determine your choices. For instance: a car can drive 200 miles in a few hours – something you’re not capable of doing yourself, but you may be able to walk to the post office and a car shouldn’t be used for that – in this instance, it increases laziness and weakens the body by depriving it of exercise.
