“All of these articles are about people finding meaning in AI output that they themselves have generated. The meaning can be spiritual, emotional, or physical—but it is meaning that people enjoy because it comes out of you and yet feels like it is something more than you.”
I heard once the definition of idol worship is humans coming up with systems in their own to worship so it is a sort of self worship.
I think this is the same. We create this AI experience so that we can then go ahead and get lost in it. Most People can’t literally worship themselves, that’s cringe. But they can create a convoluted stand in and project all their wants and desires on it and then lose them selves to it.
And this evolves into extreme and more extreme versions of self created systems to lose themselves into.
It’s meaning that comes out of you, but then feels like it’s something more than you. This is such a perfect line.
