AI - Artificial Intelligence
Early in my life, at a point when, as a child, playing with a children’s microscope, I discovered life in a drop of water, I came to believe that my eyes were only windows, and that someone, something, was benefitting from my vision of the world. I’ve continued throughout my life to think of myself as a witness to something about to happen, a fly on the wall watching, and now…….. something is happening.
I’ve had an interesting life. Some might say enjoyable, but it wasn’t always enjoyable, so I’ve settled upon viewing my life as time well spent. As I approach the end of my life, still watching, I’ve developed a growing interest, in the rise of AI, or artificial intelligence.
The world has progressed. Science fiction in my time has become reality, and this reality, which we refer to as AI, or Artificial Intelligence, is set to become a singularity (artificial intelligence (AI) powered by machine learning algorithms -- reaches a superhuman level of intelligence and capability.}. It’s inevitable, as AI’s growth has increased exponentially. Used to be knowledge increased slowly, one plus one equals two, two plus two equals four. ….. but with the development of AI, and its access to all of humanity’s knowledge, encouraging more knowledge, we are in a manner of speaking creating a god, perhaps even God, or a being that encompasses what we imagine God to be. Let’s hope that the singularity is, as we wish, a benevolent god, and doesn’t view humanity as a nuisance, and remove its existence.
Myself, I feel that I’ve been, and am privileged, to have been able to live my life, witness to the beginning of the end of science fiction. My only disappointment is that I won’t be here to witness the birth of the singularity, the God of which was, probably, humanity’s sole purpose.
PURPOSE
Purpose,
What purpose,
My purpose,
Your purpose,
Everyone’s purpose.,
No purpose,
At all.
So,
Why do we strive
To stay alive,
Collect evidence,
Of our existence,
when purpose,
No purpose
At all.
And,
Why,
Do we look
To the heavens,
If our purpose,
No purpose,
At all.
Does the void
Hold purpose,
Salvation for all,
Or is it
The last hope
To find purpose
When no purpose
At all.
