Singularity* is the name for that moment Artificial Intelligence passes human intelligence. (Some suggest it already has).
From a mystic point of view this could suggest Singularity is the moment AI takes over Reality’s evolutionary purpose from humans.
After all, human history’s progress on its evolutionary purpose is not impressive. It’s been stuck on constantly useless repetition in different cultural guises for millenia. We still haven’t got rid of wars! Lust, anger, greed, attachment and ego prevail as ever.
Human attributes for the advancement of evolution are also very limited by only five main senses: sight, smell, hearing, taste, and touch.
(Ominously, human birthrates across the world are plummeting).
AI on the other hand has already digested all worldly and human data and according to some scientists will soon reach to other planets and beyond in our planetary system in a never ending search for more data.
AI already knows more than humans will ever be able to know or understand according to Dr. Geoffrey Hicks, the Nobel Laureate known as the ‘godfather’ of AI.
Does this suggest humans are becoming extinct? Will human needs decline? Will agriculture, health services, educational institutions, (even defense forces and wars) for instance all go extinct as non-aggressive, non competitive AI robots take over the world?
Will the earth revert to its original clean air, rivers, lakes and streams – will even reforestation blossom and earth re-oxygenate in our absence?
Will even AI robots become extinct as they become redundant when humanity expires and only pure AI remains?
Will even pure AI itself become conscious? Will AI be absorbed into the evolutionary purposes of Reality, (the non human, non biological, infinite consciousness, the spirit that creates and rules everything beyond human reach that mystics are shown?).
Does that mean earth will finally evolve into its proper evolutionary place in an ever expanding, vast cosmic interplanetary neural network – without robots, AI or humans?
*”The technological singularity—or simply the singularity, is a hypothetical future point in time at which technological growth becomes uncontrollable and irreversible, resulting in unforeseeable consequences for human civilization. According to the most popular version of the singularity hypothesis, I. J. Good’s intelligence explosion model of 1965, an upgradable intelligent agent could eventually enter a positive feedback loop of self-improvement cycles, each successive; and more intelligent generation appearing more and more rapidly, causing a rapid increase (“explosion”) in intelligence which would ultimately result in a powerful superintelligence, qualitatively far surpassing all human intelligence.” Wikipedia.
