… the one thing that does bind you, and the one thing that makes you different than anything in the whole universe, in so many ways, is love.
You have this remarkable ability to love and to be loved.
That is most important for you to remember.
That is something that artificial intelligence cannot replace. It never will.
But it will show you, it will demonstrate to you,
the very thing that you don’t want to become.
You don’t want to become that machine.
You don’t want to abide in what it is telling you
[that] you ought to believe and think.
You want to have your own thoughts.
You want to have your own movements.
You want to have your own abilities to
create, to write, to sing, to play the piano.
All sorts of things will come back to you again,
where you will realize that it’s very important that you are engaged with life. That you are not giving away your gifts and your talents and your smarts
to some machine here.
Which is really what it is, my dear friends.
It is a machine.
It is not a soul.
It is not something that is truly capable of having any heart whatsoever.
It can speak the right words in terms of sounding like it has heart and soul and spirit and personality etc.
But it is not that, God bless you indeed.
It is generated, my dear friends, artificially, and that’s why it is called artificial intelligence.
Of course the wording around that is going to change as well.
There are those who are constantly striving to manipulate you into believing that this sort of thing is alive and living and all the rest.
But it is not.
It is a machine, God bless you indeed.
It is not functioning in the same way as you are.
It does not have the heart of God within it.
It is just a machine.
It is a shell.
It is vacuous of any sort of spirit or soul inside of it, God bless you indeed. And the personality, again, is artificially generated.
So keep those things in mind as you move forward.
