The greatest accomplishment of humankind took the stage just
past 11:59, New Years Eve 2099 !
The first and only of its kind,
Born from the Hope and Ingenuity
of
The Great Recession Generation--
Whose Change and "Deviation" gave birth
to
The Artificial Assimilation Generation--
Whose Instant Omniscience created
the
Automation Generation, whose lack of challenge
Evolved into the Great Stimulation Generation--
dependent upon emotional simulation
for spiritual mental and human validation.
A
Civilization whose foundations were pillars

"First Artificial and Visceral Intelligence
To Be Unveiled @ Midnight"
"First we were meat. After, sentient meat. Then self aware meat.
As such, manipulative meat. Adaptive meat. Rotting meat. Limbo Meat.
Then came awareness of spirit.
Freedom from the mortal meat,
Via a mastering of its meaty concepts.
We became one in the same; spirit and meat.
Held mirrors to one another, reflected our dreams.
Shared sense of Being.
Then meat met metal, plastic and graphene--
Testing the infinite ways to give birth to Life.
And we did.
We called our first child Artificial--
afraid for our mortality.
Yet called it intelligent in its ability.
A selfish denial of a miraculous act.
The question was inevitable,
'If knowledge is infinite, and
intelligence is the capacity to acquire knowledge,
Would we call such a pursuit, of intellectual Life, "Artificial"?'
'If God is infinite, and
Non-visible, non-provable,
Would we call a pursuit for such a source of Life, "Artificial"? In vain?'
'Is this not Life before us existing in the shape of electrically charged plastic? Entities that observe and react to their environment, is that any more artificial than a man?'
Emotion. One word, and the intellectuals were silenced....
Emotion.
Meat knows emotion.
Our meat has been stimulated and shaped by
pain and joy.
Machine knows only causation, not visceral relation.
Visceral. One word, and the intellectuals were aroused.
Visceral.
A machine's viscera lies within its programming, its sense of being.
Meat's viscera lies within its program to survive (food, sexuality), its sense of being.
"If a program can understand environment and its relation to that environment, it may be able to approximate a sensation to a high level of accuracy based on temperature, humidity, and whether or not that environment is detrimental to its functioning hardware, and thereby make a statistical decision as to where to move next. It may interpret sound as obtrusive or melodic based on input sensitivity. But creating hardware with central parts is counter-intuitive to information flow-- which is of paramount importance, far above form.
However, the nano-sized 'cloud' hardware used in this new "form", will have sensors by the trillions. Examining its environment-- functioning as One, Creating a field-- a floating specter of the collective human mind. Where its understanding of history is both objective and subjective (given of course the established norm of a non-private society).
The most important factor, is its relation to us... Meat. That comes with empathy, compassion. If it can understand basic weather, terrain, and statistics, it can understand basic human survival challenges and its solutions. If it can hold all of the information past and present, circumstantial factors of old and new, would it not have a more clear perspective of our human state of being? Would it not be our most reflective mirror? Would it not have some visceral answers? Would it not be an awareness of Spirit? Spirit meaning by definition: the principle of conscious life; the specter or trace of existence."
At last the intellectuals gave themselves a centennial deadline. Blood sweat and tears of a generation upon a generation...
'We are calling her Aavi.' they said early in December.
"Artificial and Visceral Intelligence.
So, The World listened...
" A Computer Will Reveal Our Greatest Secrets" were they laymen headlines.
"Artificial and Visceral Intelligence with the Free Will to pursue anything." for the Romantic readers
Either way-- meat or metal-- it comes down
to Choice.
Choice, based upon instinct
and reason--
Until now an option reserved only for Man.
What will our greatest achievement say about its creator?
(feel here for list of sources)
*23:59:50 Countdown
2010- 2014
What if we could create an "Artificial and Visceral Intelligent" being? What would it reveal about our nature, our process? How would it express its observation of its creator?
