AI - the tool or the threat to consciousness?
Comment
Yes, I’m seeing a lot of debates going on in society about the issues and advantages brought by AI. Well, I would express my own position with this paraphrase of old wisdom:
If you want to win a battle, know your enemy first. Otherwise, you only end up fighting yourself.
I think I am the one who is standing on the middle ground with all this fast-moving tech development in this world. And that’s what I feel to express. Not to diminish or uphold the viewpoint of one side or another. But to offer a viewpoint that may give an impulse for others to find their own.
First, to say that every new tech phase or introduction of any kind of update in that regard, I tend to meet with lots of skepticism. And I found that I’m likely coming from the place of being willing to defend my own consciousness as where it stands at that moment. But whether I like it or not, this world is moving in the direction it is moving. So, to me, the major question became not whether I like to protect myself from the changes that the tech world is trying to impose upon us, but how I can best navigate it, accepting the way it is.
I don’t really want to criticise humanity for its stupidity. Neither can I answer all questions the humans aren’t able to answer. But… whether it is AI, mobile phones, everyday updates of computer software, social media, etc., I believe we have a choice to make:
Do I keep myself locked in the moral panic about it, or do I learn to navigate it so as to employ the given possibilities to my best advantage?
When it comes to AI, my position is neither to defend it nor to make a favourite thing of it.
Every thing can become useful when we know how to properly use it and what to do with it.
And it all depends on where one’s consciousness is at. I would say, if someone is coming from an undeveloped consciousness, with a major focus on living in the 3D world, the unawareness of the impact on chakras could be something causing major “damage” to their consciousness in any way - whether it is AI or anything else. But for those who have already developed (or are working to develop) a capacity for seeing a higher perspective (or are conscious enough), perhaps the question to ask could be: how do I best navigate the situation without giving away my power? Their capacity to maintain discernment could be helpful when it comes to opening the beingness for new possibilities. How? By asking the right questions, first within self, and afterwards – the AI.
I feel to express my own viewpoint on writing using AI. Not because I do not agree with something others perceive. But I have my own experience around it. Someone who has their own website, or writes articles/posts as part of their venture, knows very well how important it is the professional way of presenting your content, even (and especially) when it comes from the soul. As Open always says: Content is the King!
English is not my native language; I have never learned or studied it at educational institutions. I just learned it “on the go” after moving from my home country to an English-speaking country. Moreover, I do not speak the topics from my earlier life anymore; it is absolutely new vocabulary I have been developing over the last five-six years. To me, AI-based writing editors are a major help, not only for writing and grammar, but for learning as well. And I don’t really care whether people will believe it or not - it only helps me in finding my own unique voice. There are plenty of people who may be perfectly able to express themselves in their language (without any tech), yet they are not able to find their own voice because they possibly don’t dare to step into the challenges of expression boldly enough, and/or their preference (conditioned by fear) is to stay in their small shell of false self.
No, I do not ask AI to create for me or instead of me. I am doing it myself. But knowing what the right questions to ask AI saves me hours, weeks, or even months of time. And I am learning a lot from it! I figured out (from the felt sense) how to talk to AI, how to use it as a technical guide (not a threat to the consciousness) to give me answers to questions that I have no tiniest knowledge of. It’s not the same as giving tasks to AI to do things for me (or instead of me). It’s similar to when you’d be hiring a professional to work with, but massively saving on the cost of it. And in specific cases, like, for example, creating or rebuilding my website (Asya: Art of Being), I faced mainly two choices:
1) whether I could create the website myself (without any knowledge or understanding of the area of the web), or
2) I don’t do it at all.
For one widely spread reason – my financial resources simply do not give me the possibility to hire a web developer, or any professional in this regard. (There are plenty of people/companies that can afford to hire professionals instead of spending their own time, so I don’t believe certain jobs are in danger yet). In addition to all my creative projects, I love to create challenges for myself (😊), so I go for option number 1.
And I can tell, AI did not take away my creativity; it enhanced it! I have learned to use AI as a mirror. This way, when it comes to developing my own venture, it helps me to see possibilities I couldn't see before. My motivation is on the rise when I see those possibilities.
To me, it may actually sound quite ridiculous to use AI as a main guide to work with for the development of one’s own consciousness, or to lead the soul towards spiritual evolution. That’s the inner work to do for everyone. There is no question about that. But when it comes to navigating the technical complexities of the 3D reality this world is heavily invested in, I stepped past my skepticism (which may have come from the old consciousness construct) to find that tech advancements could become a good helper.
Yes, the boundaries are important. And I preserve the direction of my soul, my discernment, and my power with awareness. But I would rather have more of my time for meditation, inner inquiry, and creation instead of trying to figure out details that are not necessary for me to learn. It’s all about the new possibilities not seen earlier.
So, what I’m taking from today's situation in the world is asking the constant question to myself: how can I, as a soul, assimilate available tools for the best expression of my ever-improving version of self?
If one sees the giant in front of them and doesn’t know how to approach it or what to do with it, then this giant becomes a great danger. On the other hand, if I see a potential opportunity in front of me, the question to ask is how I can employ it in the most efficient way so that it will serve my expression. Then, only time will show where all of it is going.
With love, always 💜🙏
