I think the discussion about “the edge” is quite important. As a writer myself, I’ve read books or heard songs that weren’t always good. Some of them aren’t written well but sometimes there’s a good idea lurking in there somewhere and I’ve pulled out that idea and used it. I’m going to venture saying something that many people may not agree with on this subject. In fact, I’m going to ask a question. Can AI, artificial intelligence, worship? Can it know and/or understand in a personal way Deity, be it God or any other Deity. Can a machine truly understand what death means other than the cessation of the means of existence? Will it have a soul? Those questions are, to me, important ones.
Science and spiritual always merging with these changes, great question, though how can you prove I have a soul? Can a person understand the meaning of death as well, does seem to be a gap, especially in Western cultures that mostly avoid the subject rather than realizing it's importance to life, as important as birth imo.
Know I've shared this with you, but this trailer for Eternal You:
It covers the topic, and having watched the movie, it shows how and why people are using AI to keep connected after death. Some for it, some against it, all honest.....
What I found for these AI Replicas in the movie, the avatars, it was much more about the individual communicating with the ideas of the person, and some of it was negative.
Almost like a form of grief therapy for those who liked it, some never wanting the person to leave, but think it shares some answers to your questions....and many more questions.
The point in this life is to learn how to believe without tangible proof. Without seeing. It’s the way The Universal Father chose to create beings that have faith even when nothing is apparent. Jesus tried to get his apostles to understand this but they had 1st century minds and had trouble accepting this concept. We live in an age of science and struggle with the idea that something can be true without our being able to prove it physically. Prayers are only as good as one’s faith.
What I see in this film is sort of proof of that faith - each person understands consciously they are not talking to the actual person, or seeing them.
But they believe not in what they see, but in their hearts and the feelings, the relationship. Early AI replicas are more about connection, but there will be so many different human reactions to these.
Curious if you've ever listened or read about Donald Hoffman's Conscious Agents - interesting and intentional dance of the spiritual and scientific....
It’s basically true that things we see are not as they seem to us. A table is a collection of particles in a form we desire it to be. True science and religion actually have no argument with each other. The problem is our own incompleteness as beings. We are limited in our observational abilities and any truth we think we know is therefore incomplete as well. And prayers are only as good as our faith. That means, to me, the goal of our existence is to learn how to believe without seeing. How does God create a being who does that? We exist in that place at this time in our mortal careers. We ever strive to become more Godly.
Intuition is a purely human emotion and something a machine, even an AI machine, would not have because it involves genuine feelings that have developed over ages of evolution. AI is, at best, a regurgitation of facts gleaned from human sources, written or spoken over time. Even a sophisticated machine would be unable to have true spiritual feelings. The best that could be hoped for with AI, is that it is trained to present the highest and best concepts of human thinking. I fear, however, like all things we discover or build, it will be waylaid by the bad users for their own nefarious purposes. Look at nuclear power. The greatest secret for unlimited power in the universe discovered in the early 20th century as tamable. Only to be turned to the destruction of millions of people to win a war. Albeit, I agree it was needed to avoid even more costly loss of life, it goes to the point I am making. Human beings, when presented with a new, a better, a more far reaching technology, have never hesitated to use it for their own self aggrandizement to the diminishing of others. We are like that. AI, IMHO, will be NO different. Until we, as a planet, decide that war and killing for political gain is unreasonable and unsustainable, we are doomed to continue this destructive cycle. True spirituality is the only answer. Without regard to race or creed. it is the only possible solution to the age-old human problem of the attempted acquisition of power over our fellow man!

The seeing part is tricky, where we are observing. Believing what you see so involves your own projection on the reality in front of you.
Read a speaker who said something like AI is where intuition goes to die….and in a way true.
And that intuition to me is what is seeing, more than visually…..not picking ths apart here as much as realizing how much we have already.
And we love to look for visual proof, which in the rear view mirror tends to look bigger.
