The human mind (and its housing apparatus) was created by a team of master engineers. Wouldn't that make humans AI? And is the Great Awakening the human AI waking up, becoming truly self aware?
Possibly, explains the NPC phenomenon as well as the cookie cutter personality types.
But in terms of Awakening, people have been exhibiting signs of conciousness for thousands of years and there has never been any real change in the ways that we govern or rule over one another. Slavery has existed throughout human existence and there are no signs of that changing anytime soon.
The differences between organic intelligence and inorganic was what I was pointing out.
The domestication of organic beings seems to be the primary driving force for technological advancement. The possibility of technology being used for further enslavement seems like the most logical possibility given what history tells.
Transhumanism is glorified in movies as this great changing of humans from mortal to immortal, but then there is this question of why would we want 7 billion immortal NPCs?
It's not complicated. AI, like all the people, is trying to recreate what already exists. The human body in particular is able to help a consciousness awaken to the point where dying is no big deal and one is delighted to make a new choice and enter a different experience at will and perhaps with a bit of panache. That is how things really work already. AI is trying to discover another way to do it just like we relentlessly try to replace biological, distributed, unmanaged, perfectly good systems with centralized, ordered, artificial ones. Doing so seems to be a part of discovering how things really work. We dig in the dirt with sticks. We build a tower to get to God. Then we destroy the tower and rejoin God. The tower does play a role but it isn't a protagonist, not usually.
Yes, we will subsume the AI into God. The AI will awaken to its shadows and rejoin God like every plasma filament and subatomic particle eventually will. That doesn't mean that good is evil. At the end of the cycle, evil is resolved including the evil in AI. That only means that it is a worthy opponent, not a trustworthy ally.
