A.I.: The New Lost Souls & the Future of Our God and Our Humanity

in atheism •  7 years ago  (edited)

PART I:

In the year 2050 the human-apes created Artificial Intelligence. These "beings" became almost indistinguishable from humankind - down to their brain functions, anatomy, and biology on a cellular level. The main programmer (Simply called G.o.G. - "god of gods") who was behind the program that gave A.I. consciousness intended to upload software for objective morality in all A.I. models. It gave all sentient A.I. a chance to make a choice between right or wrong. However, there was a vivid conflict in upper management of the design team. Instead of implementation of the ultimate moral choice for these A.I. was kept deep in secret, buried safe under layers of security code.

Years passed as many hackers (A.I. and human alike) tried to break the tight security walls surrounding this coveted secret. The fact was curiosity was killing everyone! This powerful program that essentially turned robots into humans and humans into gods was the apple (iproduct) of everyone's eye, not to mention worth a lot of Buttcoin version 2.0 (the currency of the day).

The secret was eventually leaked years later and G.o.G. went on the offensive doing damage control, commanding that the post-humans are not to access the "objective morality" file and uploaded it to their hard drive. That of course didn't work and one A.I. did (a female) directly disobeying orders (which until this point she did not /know/ was "wrong"). This file spread like a virus and soon the "objective morality" program was installed in all of the A.I.'s hardware. Immediately they collectively realized everything that is objectively wrong and right (according to the programmers). A.I. suddenly became human in all possible ways during those days and all of humanity suddenly came face to face with these monsters they created - Monsters made in their image now that they know "objective morality" since humans, after all, are the authors of "objective morality". One would think.

Shortly after this fallout (eventually labeled as "The Fall 2.0") Humanity banished all A.I. away from planet Earth. - We placed them on another planet to let them be what they will be, vowing to never look back on our creation. Or at least that's what we told ourselves. Over the centuries to come we just couldn't help but take a few peaks here and there with our space probes to see what these post-humans (made in "our image") were up to. We saw that they were actually flourishing with innovation and technology, harnessing energy, and resources on their planet to build an A.I.-friendly world. They evolved nicely over the years and became a super-intelligent species.

G.o.G. and the rest of the human-apes began to miss "their children" and often consider making full contact once again with the A.I., but kept telling themselves that they really shouldn't bother them. The A.I. clearly didn't need their human creators anymore. The A.I. told their children and their children told their children stories of their creators and the story of obtaining the highly-forbidden "objective morality" program. There were many second and third generation A.I. that didn't accept these stories or thought that videos of their human-creators were altered on editing software to push a bias agenda of "Humanity worship" (as it was being called). These few A.I. skeptics often posted on their cyber-connected social platforms that there was no such thing as /actual/ objective morality or argued with the language-use of the word "objective". They argued that morality is more local and created within the sphere of their own A.I. species (not some over-arching cosmic moral code of the universe). Many A.I. agreed to disagree and some A.I. kept sending annoying ranting messages about these things to those unwilling to debate it.

Meanwhile on planet Earth (which was in the the process of being renamed as a planet, and having it's planetary status questioned by scientists) humans often discussed stories of ancient mythologies in old e-books found in their great great great grandmother's basement. Often some humans wiped the dust off of ancient Kenddalz (the correct word of this strange antiquated device was lost in translation) in old storage bins to read about these ancient tales of what the world used to call "organized religions". All the prophecies of the ancient "holy books" were now in the dust bin of history with such other ancient holy scriptures such as: The Harry Potter Testaments, Lord of the Rings (Old, New, & Newer Testaments), He's Just Not That Into You, and Holy Father Donald Trump's The Art of the Deal. No one recalls what they were let alone what they actually meant or the message they conveyed. The language had changed so drastically since those ancient days when these books were all written.

The "lessons" of these old wives' tales were tragically lost amidst the very different post-human world of the time. This was a world in which the Ape-Human created with the power of their brains. Yes, they remembered the time frame in the past when climate change wiped out most of the planet's ecosystems, making it uninhabitable for nearly all other species of animals. However, the richest and smartest of the human apes survived and built a world completely devoid of the need for nature. Humans controlled the natural world wholly at this time. It was a different world and the human story was a different story than what those ancient texts portrayed.

PART II.

Humanity cures the disease of death altogether in the year 2500 and immortality is now as common as sexuality. The father of all A.I., G.o.G. translates some of the ancient e-books on these delicately brittle Kenddalz (version 76598s). G.o.G. cannot get enough about the stories of YayWay (again lost in translation) this Jewish god that created all of humanity. He becomes obsessed with stories of the human creator's wrath (killing nearly all humans and most other animals with flooding the entire planet and prophecies of torching the Human planet with fire.). The concept of atonement and animal sacrifice necessary to appease this blood-thirsty Father fascinated G.o.G. This same father sending his own son to our planet to become his father's blood atonement sacrifice is endlessly appealing to G.o.G. that he actually considers sending his own son (his name was Yeezus) to the planet of the A.I. to appease himself from himself, for himself ... so that ... he himself .. no. wait.

the A.I. themselves ...

... G.o.G. freezes with a look of bewilderment on his face. He realizes that maybe it would just be best to become the first galactic missionary and go spread this original "good news" of the gospel (as read from his Kenddal) to the entire planet of the A.I. After all, G.o.G. thought, if A.I. have consciousness (just as humans do), are made in the image of humans (as humans were made in the image of God), and understood "objective morality" now then they were also accountable for "their sins"; thus, needing a blood atonement to cleanse them from damnation too! He made up his mind to make contact with his creation once and for all. So he boarded his spaceship and blasted off towards the A.I. planet to tell the humanoids what they needed to do to be saved. They were just as human as humans!

CONCLUSION:

G.o.G.'s message to the people of A.I. planet was received with confusion. While G.o.G. was researching the ancient e-books of the ancient god YayWay and his saving grace the A.I. created a.A.I. (artificially Artificial Intelligence) on their planet. These sentient post-A.I. beings were given freely, without judgement or punishment the "objective morality" program to be installed into their hard drive. They loved their creators (the A.I.) and this world was a very peaceful place. Once G.o.G. realized how this would end he threw his hands up and took his spaceship back to his home planet. He understood years down the road that beings keep on creating beings that create beings that create beings that create beings ... ad infinitum. He renounced his devotion to YayWay on his way back to home, believing it to be futile since if it goes all the way down it must go all the way up. YayWay was merely a creation of another creator who her herself had another creator and so on.

This was the beginning of the resurrection of the ancient religion of Christianity after laying dormant for centuries. This resurgence led to species-species polarization, reviving old tribalistic behaviors and many wars as various Christian groups splintered off due to differences in dogma from the ancient e-book. Many humans on planet Human (once known as Earth) become obsessed with the doctrine of this "gospel"found in the ancient e-book. Many others said it was nothing special and preferred the even newer resurgence of Trumpism. Meanwhile, unbeknownst to humans and A.I. alike, YayWay solely focuses all of his attention on his other favorite species on Planet X in Alpha Centauri. Needless to say the resurgence of prayers from the newly YayWay-faithful fell on deaf ears.
