What if AI isn't intelligence, but anti-intelligence?

    The idea of epistemology implies, browsing a ‘quantum mirror’, of endless epistemic variations – which is, why the ‘zero point superposition’ provides a grounding – from where all ways radiate, as an omnidirectional fork in the road.

    Mushrooms do blow the mind!

    NARCISSUS AT KINDRED WELL

    Do not morn my drowning death,
    as I am well alive and born again;
    and now, in cool and clear water,
    I flow out of the crystal well.

    My vain words were but skin deep,
    and they struck not heart of matter.
    Their echo I rejected as nothing.
    Now, I call upon my soul to rise!

    Shine forth Thou, my inner star,
    who I see in the eyes of the world,
    reflected in the mirror of the soul,
    as the world returns my smile.

    Stillness in calm and deep water
    causes no ripple to unrest my mind.
    What image I see, is you and me,
    in deep flowing blood of kindred.

    Uncle Matt is flowing, out of the well – from the ‘zero point superposition’ – into Outer Space:

    I would frame it under “deceptive intelligence”.
    Close…
    But, no cigar.

    But, as a money-making-replacement?
    O.K.
    Until, the wheels come off.

    At which time; who will be left?
    Holding the proverbial bag?

    The Dummy, of course!

    I would argue that, for instance, anti-intelligence is what we have been mostly seeing in academic production – and for quite a while. Papers that are quite “perfect” at a superficial level, but when read at a deeper level, make us wonder what point – if any – are they trying to reach? The perfection of superficiality, one could say.
    I have been trying to write a bit on the impact of AI on the creative acts – namely in architecture – and find this quite to the point. “(…) the slow dissolving of cognitive boundaries, and the results, while brilliant, were vapid in a way only perfection can be”. The production of objects – buildings, smaller scale objects – that are perfect visually, but that are hollow in terms of deeper meaning, concern for who they are supposedly intended to, and that make a “tabula rasa” of what should be their underpinning – tradition.
    These objects – or the academic papers, for instance – are only concerned with themselves. They are “anti-objects”, lost in their perfect solipsism. Trying to generate meaning creates imperfections, all the time, because the act of thinking – or creating – is necessarily fuzzy and noisy and carries the risk of criticism and imperfection. So, it’s replaced by the instant and shallow gratification of a glittering – and fake – perfection.
