1 post | 1 read
A groundbreaking endeavor to explore human spirituality through the evolving technology of artificial intelligence Why are we here? What does it mean to love? How do we overcome suffering? Is happiness truly possible? For thousands of years, we have turned to the same beloved texts to explore these universal questions--from the Bible and the Tao Te Ching, to the poetry of Rumi and Sappho, to the words of modern-day mystics. What if you could take all of the wisdom contained in these collective pages and, using the world's most advanced artificial intelligence, receive the answers? To create What Makes Us Human?, internationally bestselling poet Iain S. Thomas and globally recognized prodigious researcher and innovator Jasmine Wang prompted the world's most advanced AI, GPT-3, with a wealth of humanity's most cherished works. Then they asked GPT-3 our most pressing questions about life. Contained in this book are the conversations and exchanges that followed. A bold and daring experiment, What Makes Us Human? is a contemporary exploration of spirituality that will inspire you, move you, and give you a new understanding of what makes us humans, humans.

The authors fed this sophisticated articulate intelligence program all of the books of the world‘s great wisdom traditions and related classics. Then they asked it to answer questions about the meaning of life and how we should live as humans. The concept is interesting as a benchmark in story of AI‘s flirtation with sentience, but it mostly falls flat in its attempt to deliver actual meaningful wisdom that doesn‘t occur as awkward regurgitation.
