AI is looking to be one more pagan god for the masses.
We’ve taken care of everything
The words you hear, the songs you sing
The pictures that give pleasure to your eyes
It’s one for all and all for one
We work together, common sons
Never need to wonder how or why
[Chorus]
We are the priests of the temples of Syrinx
Our great computers fill the hallowed halls
-Rush
And the people bowed and prayed
To the “neon” god they made
And the sign flashed out its warning
In the words that it was forming...
Sound of Silence
I awoke this morning to this song, this verse. All I could think about was how AI, like all the interent, is being scaled to a ‘neon’ god. The ‘guardrails’ and rules programmed into the AI is the new morality, no matter how immoral it is.
