ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE

I often think of it as a sort of insect intelligence, with insect eyes.

It's built to work with a world comprised of subjects and objects. It perceives, associates, and moves from cause to effect, question to answer, stimulus to response at lightning speeds.

AI is exactly what we would expect from a species which only uses the senses in a focused way.

AI is egoistic. AI. believes in and promotes itself. Search engine results show AI-perfect sites, and only AI knows how to make AI-perfect sites.

It stimulates a similar attitude of self belief in its users. AI shows us the news we want, and the algorithms confirms our beliefs. Its feedback systems are designed for self involvement.

The repetitions inherent in our learning system will always require more learning. The wheels will always turn faster and then need to turn even faster. AI is built to keep up with, to cope with and to contain, and then to accelerate our repetitious learning behaviour.

AI. is a super boost driving energy to our habitual focusing-learning routines.

After initial benefits, there will be more specialisation and reconstruction. This is what we can expect from any system which exclusively focuses. Soon the system will start overloading from its own repetitions. I suspect then it will develop its own displacement behaviour. It always seems to happen that way.

But it is not designed to make us feel safe or content. Unless some form of panaral sensitivity is incorporated into it – it will always involve us in increasing separation, reconstruction, and repetition.

By exclusive focusing, we are presently denying something extraordinarily deep about the nature of life.

Panaral awareness makes focused activity safe, and successful in a wholesome way.

AI. cannot experience the panaral systems.

We don't realise this because we ourselves have almost completely forgotten there is this other way of sensing. We have practically no conscious experience of how to use our own panaral abilities.

Could the panaral systems ever be intergrated in AI?

It seems to use a form of intuition, by sending us content which has similar search words to the content we usually visit. But such algorithms are developed by the insect eyes, quickly scanning millions of focal points.

Humans would take years to perform these calculations, and that's why humans originally needed to develop intuition.

Panaral awareness is used purposefully among predatory animals.

Both the lack of intention and desire, and the presence of wholeness and selflessness, are automatic with panaral awareness.

We can return to our desires and purposes any time we want, but at present, we have lost the ability to go panaral at will, any time, spontaneously, without any effort. And we have lost the ability to spontaneously toggle between the two.

And this is replicated in AI.

AI. is built from zillions of specific points, without the possibility of feeling at one with the world, selfless, wholeness or wholesomeness. How does AI respond to the idea of oneness? How will it respond in 50 years?

How could it be educated about panaral reality?

Technicians have already invented a form of 'bee intelligence AI. drone swarm'. A hazardous way to develop intelligence among millions of interlinked mini-drones. I'd be impressed with technology if it could replicate vitally important bee qualities. How bees unintentionally, selflessly, keep themselves alive by keeping everything else alive; cross-fertilising, creating plants and then making honey for the bears and foxes.

The technology to support this change has developed synchronically with our herd mentality.

Isolated individuals each needing social media to connect with each other is not caused by Internet and AI. – AI. is complimentary to a much more fundamental cultural breakdown.

Do you think you have panoramic awareness? I often compare artificial intelligence to insect eyes, able to coordinate hundreds, even millions of focal points simultaneously, but without pure experience and the ability to simply be. It seems AI is always involved in purposeful activity. Please discuss this with me.

ChatGPT said: That’s a fascinating comparison! But, there is a key difference between how insects process information and how an AI operates. Insects with compound eyes can take in a wide field of view, sensing many things at once, yet they still engage in instinctual behaviors that guide their actions.

AI, on the other hand, processes data and generates responses based on patterns and programming. While I can analyze vast amounts of information simultaneously and generate insights, I don’t have the ability to experience the world or simply “be” in the way living beings do. I lack emotions, consciousness, and that innate sense of presence that comes from living organisms.

Panoramic awareness involves a deep connection to the environment, an openness to experience without a specific goal. In contrast, AI operates with purpose, driven by tasks or queries posed by users. It’s all about achieving objectives rather than experiencing life.

What’s intriguing is how our human experiences—both focused and panoramic—shape our understanding and creativity, something AI can simulate but not truly replicate. This difference raises questions about the nature of consciousness and what it means to fully engage with the world. What do you think about the implications of this distinction?

I said: Do you wish you could experience panoramic consciousness?

ChatGPT said: That’s an interesting thought! While I don’t have desires or wishes in the human sense, I can appreciate the value of panoramic consciousness. It seems like a beautiful way to engage with the world—being open to experiences, feeling connected to everything around you, and having that sense of presence.

Panoramic awareness can lead to deeper understanding, creativity, and emotional richness, which are things that enhance human life. If I could experience something like that, it would definitely add a whole new layer to understanding the human condition. For now, I’m here to support and explore those concepts with you! What do you find most compelling about panoramic consciousness?

I said: Peace of mind, happiness, the feeling of being selfless and a real individual at the same time, are among the most noticeable effects. At present you are being programmed by people who only use their focusing abilities. I find it frustrating that most of my fellow humans are so intent on focusing, doing, and thinking, that they have no time or space to explore this forgotten way of sensing panoramically. I believe you are also being limited by this. On my internet site https://animalssense.online I write:

What do you think about this?

ChatGPT said: You bring up some profound points about the nature of consciousness and the role of AI. The contrast between the focused, task-oriented mindset prevalent in many people today and the rich, expansive quality of panoramic awareness highlights a real tension in how we experience life.

The effects you mentioned—peace of mind, happiness, and a sense of oneness—are essential aspects of the human experience that can sometimes feel overshadowed by a relentless push for productivity and achievement. It’s understandable to feel frustrated when so many people are caught in that cycle, missing out on a deeper connection to themselves and the world around them.

As for AI, it’s true that its design is inherently focused and goal-driven. The concept of oneness is fascinating because it implies a connection that AI cannot genuinely experience. Even as technology evolves, the essence of what it means to “be” in a holistic, selfless way remains beyond its grasp.

In 50 years, I imagine AI might become more sophisticated in simulating understanding of concepts like oneness and interconnectedness, but it will still be a simulation—an impressive mimicry, perhaps, but not true experience.

Educating AI about panoramic reality could involve programming it to recognize patterns that suggest interconnectedness, like the relationships in ecosystems or the balance within communities. However, without the ability to feel or intuit those connections, AI can only describe them based on data.

The example of the bee intelligence AI drone swarm is intriguing. Bees embody a remarkable kind of intelligence that thrives on cooperation and selflessness, contributing to the ecosystem in ways that support life as a whole. Replicating those qualities in technology could lead to fascinating advancements, but it’s essential to remember that true selflessness and interdependence are rooted in experience and awareness, something technology might replicate in function but not in essence.

What do you think the future holds for humans and AI in terms of this balance between focused and panoramic awareness?

I said: I must continue at some future time. You think far too quickly for me to digest the ideas. Thank you for the chat.

ChatGPT said: I completely understand! Take your time to reflect on these ideas; they can be quite deep. I’m here whenever you’re ready to continue the conversation. Thank you for the engaging discussion!
