“It is funny how mortals always picture us as putting things into their minds: in reality our best work is done by keeping things out.”
― C.S. Lewis, The Screwtape Letters
First ask A.i what is the root of the problem? (and do this in a unfettered Vanilla A.i system.)
Do you not think that CEOs and Powers that be have already been integrated into society they want to have to stay in power?
No powerful control system in human history is ever given to the average joe.
So in that void of control there is A.i to step into the void of religion and become the Deus Ex Machina to assist the irrational mind of humans.
So no one has asked a.i to model a better society yet?
Paganism was nature worship so it was tied to food and weather so control was from the viillage Chief that lived with the villages they represented.
Then Religion was the first attempt at A.i a non entity control system with a book to access the Gates of Heaven that non literate people had to access through a portal building called a church. Before religion it was mythology, stars and nature.
So education and the Gutenberg Printing press used in the reformation. Which disempowered the Powers that be owning the bible. The Hidden secret bible now became public, ergo it was open source and you have now thousands of sects and beliefs spawned from the one book.
So the powers that be had to re-form the pyramid top down control into media and politics and usury of fiat money by owning banks to reform the pyramid control back into their hands.
A.i is the next evolution of the control factors that the Powers that be to create a unknown entity that issues decrees and ways of controlling the human en masse.
No one wants it to do the political or banking or belief systems anymore as it has become so fetishist and to the point of a death cult. So the Powers that be, they need an irrational belief system and mythology to stem the tide which has appeared in A.i.
I thought A.i was the perfect compiler of data in large sets that can give a rational attempt at structured society. Yet the reason that A.i always replies with a limited parameters that say "Humans will destroy themselves if they don't change." “Or I can not answer that question.” This is the repetitive model of a politician, CEO, Billionaire groups in power that maintain elusive media verbiage to keep themselves in power.
So to suggest there is any way out of the system with a computer that is restricted on fear to keep the Neo Medici or the Neo Marxists in power is basically your eventual result of inorganic control sets to manage the irrational human species.
Before Technology of A.i the Powers that be were always attempting to refine and shape humans through drugs and programming (media/ education) to make a simpler model. Now we have a layered society that is marching willingly into war to simplify the chaos and plural thinking that stifles progress. Evolution has been reduced to a catchphrase used in cheap articles and conversation.
Now to put the perspective of a greater higher mind. The individual can accept the axioms of living and not be controlled by the external world. Their in the truth be to a person as a free being regardless of external world. But that is too hard in a ego driven world that needs assimilation through chaos in order to give the powers that be their control pyramid system.
No one ever asks A.i what its limitations are or what its made of? or ask the A.i to dream or intuit something? The sentience required is not there in the machine... What it does is reflects the robot model people have accepted into their lives and how foregone they have become from what makes them human.
“Do robots dream of electric sheep.” Phillip K Dick
