Man cannot make a perfect world. But neither can machines. Imperfect man makes them. And,so it seems to me, that man has made for himself computerized idols that contribute to the further dehumanization of society, a process begun by statist utopians. Welcome to “paradise”.

I have wondered how AI an simulate the meta-cognition that humans have. I.e. not just thinking about solving problems which they have been programmed to solve, but actually reflecting on those problems in ALL THE WAYS that human beings can step back and reflect on a problem. Namely things like: Why should this be done? Is this the right thing to do? Is doing this meaningful?

These questions could only be “answered” by a machine if they were somehow programmed with a narrow set of criteria. Even then the machine could never reflect or have insights OUTSIDE these “answers”.
