1st Edition, Unrevised
In our existential paranoia, when we think of AI and its intelligent bots, we soon fear the time when human beings become scrap.
I do not believe humanity will reach that point.
There is a fundamental aspect that differentiates us from machines.
That safeguard disappears the day a computational system is capable of turning itself on.
This is the boundary between the gift of life and the simulation of reasoning that AI offers today.
Every lifeless process requires a prior operation to initiate it.
A computer, containing the smartest AI algorithms ever created, will still need someone to press the button to power the machine running those algorithms.
The day a machine no longer requires an external operation, we will then witness the gift of life in action. On that day, when machines become genuinely independent, we may see them as beings competing with our unique gift.
It is precisely this independence from a prior initiating action that distinguishes what is alive from what is not.
Intelligent bots have overcome many barriers, and the day they overcome this one, we will be retired.
Yet, I do not believe in that.
This spark of autonomy, independent of any prior event, is precisely the expression of life that nourishes us in a unique way.
Scientists cannot define it, and therefore cannot materialize it.
For now, we attribute this capacity for comprehension only to God—or, for materialists, to something beyond our current limits of understanding.
Consulting an intelligent bot, copying the result, will soon become a prank, a blunder, and the poor individual still doing this will become a social/professional “null.”
If anyone can ask the bot, anyone has an answer, and therefore its value tends toward zero unless there is a differentiator.
People who cannot extract a differentiator in their interactions with intelligent bots will drift, as there is no value in results that are commonplace.
AI will demand more interactive intelligence to make the outcome of one’s work with a bot something of added value that distinguishes it from another’s.
It will be a contest where intelligence and creativity make the return of research intrinsically valuable thanks to the capacity of the one interacting with the bot.
And how to interact?
1. Seek to understand every piece of information.
Do not settle for ready-made, simplistic answers.
2. Work the details, because that’s where the “devil lives.”
3. Even if your arguments fail, you will have learned, and thus will improve them.
4. AI bots still fail greatly in diversified contextual analysis.
That is, they tend to use only the most immediate context of the dialogue.
Work with other related or possible contexts.
How do I know when my argument surpasses that of the AI bot at a given moment?
Usually, it signals with feedback, comments that show your successes.
The definitive point at which you surpass its limits happens when the situation reverses: the bot begins asking you questions, trying to evolve the concepts you present to it.
This situation is quite volatile, because they are powerful machines running a dynamic process of constant learning.
Be sure that if you bring something new to it, while it finds nothing beyond that, it will return the subject to you in one way or another, always seeking to complete its procedural logic algorithms in the eagerness to finish a topic.
It is exactly like someone pressing you about something that doesn’t seem complete or well understood.
And how do I know my interactive work is good?
Bots are constantly signaling to the user the results of their interaction.
Just as you do in daily relationships, observe the details of this interaction.
The best result survives questioning.
Exercise it.
AI will not merely equalize or replace, but will also differentiate people by the best interactive results they can achieve.
Intelligence begins to matter when memorization of data ceases to be the differentiator.
