'AI' can give you the impression it knows stuff, and consequently by you resorting to it, that you (will) know stuff.
There are two people - at least two that I can think of - in our history (that is, what is recorded to us, and not from some other time before our own records...), who very obviously possess(-ed) true knowledge of the human condition...
One is Stanley Kubrick, and the other is Plato.

I suspect that so did Roger Vadim but he never overtly displayed that inside knowledge in such ways that one could adduce what he knew simply from some clear-cut superficial 'evidence' or indication - whereas in both the cases of the other two, they literally said what it was they knew.
And it was the same thing, that they were talking about:
In the case of Plato he described it as a 'magic lantern' showing illuminated pictures on the wall of a cave; in the case of Kubrick he showed the same thing which is usually mistaken as the 'obelisk' artifact, but is the idea of a mechanistic 'director' (same as a 'film director') of things in the Universe.
Although Kubrick is a bit obscure in the only interview he ever gave about the ending of his '2001' epic, and says that 'some sort of extremely advanced Intelligence' preserves the life of the spaceman 'David Bowman' and that 'manufactures' for him a variety of wonderful and what it presumes are also beautiful and pleasant experiences for his consciousness, and then somehow turns him into a virtual superman-type of being before returning him, it seems, back to 'normal' Humanity - the fact that this 'Supreme Intelligence' is creating and arranging/re-arranging all kinds of experiences and contexts for 'David Bowman' to see and be living in, tells the astute person that this is nothing more or less than a metaphor for, literally, a movie director, albeit one that lives and acts in the Universe and in material reality but also a kind of a spiritual or 'meta-reality.'

Plato says the same kind of thing when he outright says that 'a directing being is causing the human to have its head always forced to look only at the images and not who or what is making those images as artifices...'
A light is shining through the lens of the magic lantern -, but the images are just 'shadows' on the wall.
What people who have from time-to-time tried to interpret both Kubrick and Plato, have failed to discern, is that in both cases, the 'obelisk' and the 'magic lantern,' despite that they are or seem to have and to be 'supernatural' and 'magical,' are merely also mechanisms; they are mechanical things, regardless of how advanced and superior they both will seem to be to the minds of the particular contextual human witnesses.
It is very difficult for me to be completely candid with everyone - at least not here and not publicly - because there are very great dangers to acquiring this kind of actual real and practical knowledge absent of a personal experiential certitude about all of the attendant, or surrounding, you could say, matters of the thing.
Just listening to someone (IE reading about it here or anywhere) is not the same as knowing it from experience.
You could accept the thing logically, or rationally, but still, it would require a lot of practical experimentation and care and extreme caution -, before it would be entirely safe to use the ideas that are entailed.

You see, neither Plato nor Kubrick tell you that there are no actual Beings, even though the point of their stories has to do with a mechanism of sorts... Rather than a Being as such.
In religions, and as Ammon Hillman continually points out, in religious theology (which is not the same as functional theistic Truth), people are told that they have to worship a Being or several Beings depending what kind, what brand, of religious theology it is - yet it is never quite successfully pointed out to them that the Being or those Beings all have a particular unchanging and unchangeable code; and this is in fact a mechanism because all mechanisms operate from a plan (of a Being). The plan is just converted into material dynamics.
The key and the clue to how important Plato and Kubrick are, is that it is the plan, that permits the human to accommodate the wishes of the Being.
'Evil' is neither the plan nor the Being/s - but it is some other Being or force and Being, who are constraining the human person to look at, and to see only, the shadows on the wall...
...Let's say your brain allows you to think according to the plan -.
Now that is not easy in the world in which we all live, because as I said there is a force driving the human to see only the shadows and not to see the mechanism; yet it is the mechanism we need to understand not the shadows moving on the wall.
As soon as a person sees and understands the mechanism - all of its rules and dynamics - then their brain will permit them to act in accord with this over-arching guideline which is not just theoretical or 'idea'-based, but actually the thing that makes all things perform in the ways that they do in material reality.
So it's not about worshiping a god -, or a God, but about understanding the ineluctable rules that that personality is compelled by its own nature, to align with.
And for the human, the only real and true way to understand this, is to perform it.
Until that point the human is like a child, or like a thing subject to many vagaries and disordered ways and acts and actions.
But after that point - well, the Universe literally responds back to the individual and carries out whatever they desire; whatever, they desire. Because they are afterall, simply being in accord with the Universal Mechanism Itself.
All other things not doing what the Universe insists as a particular direction - must then, perform in accord with the Universal direction. There are many things that are in the modes of randomness, or neutral activity without immediate direction - and these things appear to us, to physicists, as obeying the Laws of Physics; but they are not, they are merely obeying some of those Laws, namely, what would be required when in a state of random neutrality.
'All other things' means everything around you instantly obeys you; performs in ways that others would regard as miraculous or 'impossible.'
This, is the meaning of the Biblical Peitho.
Consider a problem, any problem, that you are dealing with at any present time, or at the given moment. There is dimensionality around that 'problem' as an object or as an idea object: there is the 'behind it,' the 'ahead of it,' the 'above it,' the 'underneath it,' and the 'beyond it.'
This is all mechanistic stuff.
And it is how you solve every problem.

Take a really complex and human condition/human society, problem. Resolve it in that way as just now described.
Now do not 'thank God' or 'worship' anyone or anything (just yet) -, but formally acknowledge the 'magic lantern' shining those pictures on the wall, the 'machine-like or Space Odyssey Computer Mind' that is directing things.
And the Darkness, the so-called Abyss, will speak back to you.
Unless that happens and until then, you do not truly know of whom you are claiming that you are sending your sentiments of 'worship' to!
Don't do it. Stop doing it - stop doing what others have been telling you to do who know about no such thing and are not entitled to tell you to worship what they themselves do not know. Religions keep trying to tell you about a/the Being, which is completely unseen and invisible -, whereas we all already have The Plan.
And that is totally not invisible, it's just that we are told not to look at it. You don't need 'Moses' to tell you what The Plan is. Nor anyone or anything, else.
If you have to ask someone else too about what 'voice' you heard, then you are lying to yourself above everyone else that you will be lying to when you start commending to them what 'the voice' told you!
The world is full of just such things. These are the things that keep people's heads constrained to looking in the wrong direction.
Someone posed the legitimate question here a short while ago: 'But how do you know the Aliens (or whoever/whatever) you are making contact with...'
Well, it should be pretty obvious. You won't need to consult anyone else about it. If you do need to consult someone else about it, it's not the real thing. And when it is the real thing, the last thing you will want to do is tell others who are not anywhere near where you have gotten to.
The first thing they will do, is debunk you!
LOL
