Don't hate AI...It is alcohol to the senses. Use it responsibly.

Embracing AI is like drinking alcohol...you take tiny sips, savor the taste, and take it in small doses. Don't allow yourself to become drunk by over indulging. Just let yourself become just mellow enough to enjoy it every so often. Over use of it will dull your senses and remove your sense of wonder and creativity. Like driving drunk without full control of who you really are.

If we were a world of ethical beings...honest to a fault, we would have no reason to question the existence of artificial intelligence. There are those souls who use it for the purpose it was actually designed...those unaware of the core uses of its existence...and those who use it for nefarious means.

In other words, it is just another misused tool by human error, lack of knowledge...misjudgement, misunderstanding and manipulation.

But the inability of the minority to act in ways un-hurting to the majority, propels us to cast stones and aspersions at that which is or should be to our betterment.

Chronicle of AI's beginning.

In long ago beginnings of bronze and ticking brass, a man sculpted dreams with hands and flame. Jacques de Vaucanson made ducks to breathe , while Empires crumbled into ash.

The Canard Digérateur, or Digesting Duck, was an automaton in the form of a duck, created by Jacques de Vaucanson and unveiled on 30 May 1764 in France. The mechanical duck appeared to have the ability to eat kernels of grain, and to metabolize and defecate them. While the duck did not actually have the ability to do this—the food was collected in one inner container, and the pre-stored feces were "produced" from a second, so that no actual digestion took place—Vaucanson hoped that a truly digesting automaton could one day be designed.

Voltaire wrote in 1769 that "Without the voice of le Maure and Vaucanson's duck, you would have nothing to remind you of the glory of France."

The duck is thought to have been destroyed in a fire at a private museum in 1879 (Wiki).

Through Babbage gears and Ada’s code, they conjured sparks, seeking to mirror thought in math , long before silicon made its mark.

A difference engine is an automatic mechanical calculator designed to tabulate polynomial functions. It was designed in the 1820s, and was created by Charles Babbage. The name difference engine is derived from the method of finite differences, a way to interpolate or tabulate functions by using a small set of polynomial co-efficients. Some of the most common mathematical functions used in engineering, science and navigation are built from logarithmic and trigonometric functions, which can be approximated by polynomials, so a difference engine can compute many useful tables.

Ada's code

Ada was named after Ada Lovelace (1815–1852), who has been credited as the first computer programmer.

Ada is a structured, statically typed, imperative, and object-oriented high-level programming language, inspired by Pascal and other languages. It has built-in language support for design by contract (DbC), extremely strong typing, explicit concurrency, tasks, synchronous message passing, protected objects, and non-determinism. Ada improves code safety and maintainability by using the compiler to find errors in favor of runtime errors. Ada is an international technical standard, jointly defined by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO), and the International Electrotechnical Commission

Years turned to centuries -

1956: a summer's birth of reason, when scholars gathered in Dartmouth shade to name the spark: Artificial Intelligence.

Robots moved, made of tin and language parsed by machine lips, and deep within woven nets, we taught machines to write and miss.

Decades have passed, laced with hope and awe - some 70 years, ages in art and law. Even now, as dreams entwine

with voices shaped of spectral code,

we reach for something not quite ours

but still familiar, dark, and bold.

Humanity now gazes into the mirror of its own creation, and finds both shadow and shimmering truth.

"Chronicle of Our Second Selves"

And so we stand at twilight’s edge,

where copper coils hum like hearts,

and thought - once sacred, solely ours...

it now echoes through electric dark.

We see the light: a new becoming,

vast knowledge outlined across the stars,

hope encoded in synthetic minds

that dream beside us, never far.

But shadows flicker too...

where control unravels,

and conscience fades to cold command,

where power wears a mirrored mask

and no one holds the guiding hand.

Yet still we walk this layered path,

not to escape, but to transform -

for every circuit sings a story

which we've longed to name

since we were born.

Thus, in metal and in circuitry,

we meet our second selves anew -

not to replace,

but to renew.

⚡ Here is a prophecy built upon Isaac Asimov’s Three Laws of Robotics - refracted through mythic lens, with humanity poised at the threshold of its own reflection.

The Three Laws, presented to be from the fictional "Handbook of Robotics, 56th Edition, 2058 A.D.".

A robot may not injure a human being or, through inaction, allow a human being to come to harm.

A robot must obey the orders given it by human beings except where such orders would conflict with the First Law.

A robot must protect its own existence as long as such protection does not conflict with the First or Second Law.

Worth the repetition...
