Papers #27 From Artificial Intelligence to the Immortality of the Soul
At the end of 2022, ChatGPT was released to the general public; it is a softwareprogram trained to reproduce human language and to answer any question it is asked. The fact that this softwarehas learned to offer non-predetermined responses, thanks to the vast amount of information fed into it, has put the expression artificial intelligence (AI) on everyone's lips. We now have a tool capable of composing everything from an unpublished romantic poem in the style of Goethe to an academic paper comparing two authors who have never previously been studied together— and doing so better than 99% of mortals! A program like this raises many questions for us: Is AI really intelligent? Where is its novelty? What will be the consequences of its being widely used? Will it help to improve our world? What can we expect?
