HOMO SAPIENS vs ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE

According to Google AI: The three most profound and existential questions for Homo sapiens center on our origin, our purpose, and our ultimate destiny . These questions have driven human philosophy, science, and religion since the dawn of consciousness.   Things to think about: Philosopher Marin Heidegger asked, why is there something rather than nothing? One of the most mind-blowing facts is that Cleopatra lived much closer in time to the launch of the iPhone than to the construction of the Great Pyramid of Giza .   Cleopatra died in 30BC, while the Great Pyramid was built around 2560 BC, a gap of just over 2500 years. From her birth to the iPhone was only around 2000 years. Day vs. Year: A day on Venus (one full rotation on its axis) takes 243 Earth days, while a year on Venus (one orbit around the Sun) takes only 225 Earth days. More cosmic perspective : There are more trees on Earth than stars in the Milky Way —about 3 trillion trees compared to roughly 100 to 40...

WHAT IS HEAVEN?

Learned minds for more than 10,000 years have written about Heaven.  Every religion has some form of Heaven or life after death.  According to a  Pew Research Center  study in 2012, approximately   84%   of the global population is considered theistic, meaning they are affiliated with a religion and believe in a higher power;   this is based on data from a comprehensive study across over 230 countries and territories.   The remaining 16% are called atheists.  To some degree, atheism is forced on the population by dictatorial governments. 157 of 232 countries have Christian majorities. Earlier this year, a Pew survey revealed that 70% of Americans as spiritual. While 28% of U.S. adults claim no affiliation with organized religion, this number jumps to 43% for those under the age of 30.  The younger generation is less inclined to be theistic. Seven in ten believed in Heaven, the same percentage as being spiritual.  In most ways, they ...

WHAT IS AI'S VIEW OF GOD AND THE AFTERLIFE?

GPT-3 was asked, does God exist?   You can click on that to get the answer.  Very closely reflects my views.  GPT-3 is the third generation Generative Pre-trained Transformer developed by OpenAI. Okay, but before I delve further into this subject, what do some human thinkers think about the existence of God and an afterlife? Here is  Michio Kaku 14 years ago on God .  Close to my thoughts. Today, he says he believes in the  God of Einstein . So what is the  God of Einstein ? Einstein was an agnostic, but not an atheist. He also did not believe in an afterlife. But he believed in Spinoza's God. So what is  Spinoza's God ?  Good luck attempting to comprehend this form of metaphysics. What about the richest person in world, Elon Musk?   We have similar conceptualizations. What about  ChatGPT , which is a chatbot developed by OpenAI ( Sam Altman's company ) and has over 100 million users.  Here is where it gets somewhat abstruse: C...
