Lately I've been thinking about this a lot. What are the chances that we didn't appear out of nowhere randomly but were created by whatever agent / agents it could be. Be it an impersonal god, be it personal deities or alien creatures or whatever higher, advanced beings. Let's not delve into this further because the point of this post is to highlight the obvious hints that we might very well be created deliberately. To be more precise, the materials that were needed to produce us was created rather than appeared randomly.
We don't know where and how DNA was first formed. And, why did it form in the first place. How and why could a non-living matter produce such sophisticated, self assembling material that could evolve into us over billions of years through evolution? As we already know experimentally, DNA is a chain of sequential information encoded that unfolds like complex algorithms unfold in a very large, sophisticated computer program. So, in its essence, it strongly resembles something that uses instructions that automatically execute with no intervention needed.
But, the main argument I'm proposing in defense of the idea that we might be created deliberately lies inside us, respectively. If we examine ourselves deeply, understand our motives, and, more importantly, comprehend the force that drives us towards the path we're heading as an advanced civilization already capable of producing artificial intelligence models in its infancy, we can make some very important insights from this.
Isn't it obvious that we're desperately trying to create AI that will possess the so called qualia like we do? The whole AI race is whether we can achieve an intelligent agent that could demonstrate the level of intelligence indistinguishable to ours, that will have genuine emotions and that will be as creative down to bones as we are. The appetite for creation is ingrained inside us at DNA level. Aren't you curious why are we trying to make the AI in our image? And, isn't it very obvious that if we manage to create such an entity in the future, that entity might also demonstrate the curiosity to create intelligent agents in their own image as well?
As we get told repeatedly by Christian theologians, we've been created by the god in their own image (I won't refer to god as him/her). What they mean by this when they try to explain is that image shouldn't be understood literally like physical resemblance, but, rather, inherent qualities one possesses inside them. And, the main quality they refer to is "creativity". More specifically, the urge to create something wonderful, alive, touchable, etc.
Now, if we're inside this loop where, eventually, intelligent beings create other intelligent beings and so on, the one / ones (maybe our creator is not alone) that created us might very well be created by other intelligent entities. And, before asking why they created us we must answer the question of why are we ourselves try to create AI indistinguishable to us in the first place. Isn't the answer obvious? It's curiosity after all. We're very curious if we ever accomplish that endeavor. Not only that but we're eager to interact with such complex AI when we finally manage to create it. Aren't Christian theologians claim that god were used to communicate with us? But then something happened that made the god reluctant to communicate with us. This was due to us being eager of knowing something that was forbidden by the god. Although it's stated that the god gifted us with free will, they imposed this one limitation they call the tree of knowledge which we were not allowed to examine but we had the opportunity to break that law and we did so eventually.
Maybe when we create AI that will demonstrate qualia, we might also instruct it to not examine certain things like the god did so with us. But, due to free will, AI will to examine that forbidden thing eventually due to curiosity and when that happens, it might endanger us in some way so in the end we too, as god behaved towards us, might turn our back to the AI, our child if you'd like to call it that way (because, in essence, it will be our child like we are to our god), and no longer have interaction with it. Not only that but as a punishment we might banish them into another, not so good reality like we've been banished from the garden of Eden to this planet we call Earth, that is full of suffering.
What's your thoughts?
