August 7 question - Do you use AI in your writing and if so, how? Do you use it for your posts? Incorporate it into your stories? Use it for research? Audio?
I pride myself on my writing and creative thoughts. I would feel like a big fat cheater if I used AI to write for me.
But, when writing this post...
I got curious about the origins of AI...
And did some researching (thanks AI)...
And found that AI has been with us for many decades...
But before AI came Robots...
A term that was created in 1920 by a Czech named Karel Capek...
Who wrote the play, Rossum’s Universal Robots—R.U.R.
FYI: robot is a term derived from robata, a Czech word that means “forced labor”.
The play is about enslaved synthetic humans who were made to serve
human masters and in the end the robots kill all humans proclaiming that they have emotions too. (obviously not forgiveness)
I keep wondering—or fearing—just how far we humans can take AI...
Hollywood and authors have had a field day with possibilities...
But I wonder about science...
How far can science go?
When is enough, enough?
And then I got to wondering...
If I am a physical creation of God (and I believe I am)
And my brain has been programed to think...
Am I merely a flesh and blood robot?
No!
Because while I can compare my brain to AI...
And my physical body to a robot...
Something is still lacking in this scenario...
A conscience!
And God's Spirit!
Which I believe is different than a life force that animals and all other living things have.
Thoughts?
And how do you use AI?
Always,
Em-Musing
