AI can be helpful, but cannot replace human knowledge and thinking.
Exactly right. For those of us old enough to remember him, AI is like the Rich Little of the technology world. Rich Little did amazing impressions, but that doesn’t mean he actually WAS those people in any way, shape, or form. The fundamental mistake that AI developers make is presuming that what gives humans the ability to think and reason, and to understand and apply abstract concepts, is the brain and nothing else beyond it. They presume, therefore, that immitating the brain with sufficiently fast silicon and complex programming will eventually permit AI to equal and even exceed the capabilities of the human mind.
Where they fail miserably, though, is in their materialistic assumptions about the nature of the mind. Until they realize that our mind, or our consciousness, is actually a combination of physical brain and non-physical spirit, and that the brain is nothing more than the interface between the spirit and the physical world, they will continue to pursue the fool’s errand of trying to develop AI as a substitute for human intelligence and judgment.
