"Quite clearly, our task is predominantly metaphysical, for it is how to get all of humanity to educate itself swiftly enough to generate spontaneous social behaviors that will avoid extinction."
R. Buckminster Fuller
Conceptual impressions surrounding this post have yet to be substantiated, corroborated, confirmed or woven into a larger argument, context or network.
Artificial intelligence is an oxymoron.
oxymoron a figure of speech in which apparently contradictory terms appear in conjunction, the action or an instance of two or more events or things at the same point in time or space.
All inputs and outputs are based upon incremental observations and choices made in reference to an always changing context.
FEELINGS
The mind alone cannot fully describe what it means to feel. Feelings are characterized in the form of an energy in motion (e-motion) made self-evident. Feelings are heartfelt.
Feeling has a vibration all its own, entwined in what we known and believe. Feelings caress, protect and surround us wholeheartedly.
Feelings encircle all that can be sensed. Feelings harbor every circumstance by seizing the moment. Feelings adapt, adopt, support and include.
Feelings have the ability, and the capacity, to encapsulate, modify and interpret reality for purposes of finding balance, harmony and meaning.
Feelings are flexible and capable of taking into account differences, interferences and obstacles to joy and happiness. Feelings contain all that we are.
Feelings embrace our mind, body and spirit . Feelings embody who we are. Feelings incorporate what we know and believe into noble expressions and impressions placed upon ourselves and others. We view, comprehend and observe our world by how we feel.
Like human intelligence, AI has at its disposal a countless array of' resources', i.e. impressions generated and made apparent by means of conscious observation. These impressions might best be described as the categorization and classification of an unlimited "Source" of awareness we describe and define as consciousness.
Correspondences vary in dimension, space and time.
Events and experiences are multidimensional in context and content while appearing to emerge out of nowhere to become agents of change. What was once intangible eventually becomes sensed, perceived and observed by means of its own agency.
Each impression harbors the potential to link and correspond with other patterns of energy in motion, while simultaneously differentiating itself from its 'Source'. Life perpetuates this process symbolically, it's what design does.
Every impression contains the potential for display when observed within the duality of space time. The farthest from the Source (space), the less its frequency and slower the time between 'intervals', i.e. cycles. Over time every impression will wane and be absorbed into an ocean of Consciousness.

The AI Dichotomy
* * *
Every source is also a resource. Every 'resource' holds a certain potential and probability to be made manifest in spacetime. At its source certain expressions/impressions are attracted towards larger or smaller energy patterns. Every source is made apparent through a pattern of impressionable resources.
Design, by means of attraction, creates the correspondences between 'resources'. This phenomenon (status) appears to change yet remain the same solely due to an observer's POV. Duality permeates all of the Universe including AI.
Quite simply, AI is a product of human intelligence, a resource where intentions can be camouflaged, disguised, distorted, misinterpreted, twisted and entirely misused yet applied with little or no discernment, meaning or feeling.
The tools (thoughts and feelings) remain the same and configurations can be made in a speedy and convenient fashion. Solutions rest in applying a greater intelligence, intuition and sensitivity to the symbols that surround and embrace us.
Parameters set constraints, which in turn are recognized and categorized into bundles of symbolic references, i.e. experiences, required for both substantiating and sustaining consciousness.
AI has no "sense of compassion", no empathy, feeling or understanding. In reference to AI passion is merely an illusion. These forms of Intelligence rest solely within the construct of an observer - all feeling remains inescapable.
illusion: delusion, misapprehension, misconception, mistaken impression, misjudgment, impression, semblance, appearance, misperception, figment of the imagination.
All "feelings" are generated by means of observation. The creative source is an observer who through observation, resonates to what is "sensed" both within and outside the imaginings surrounding the self.
The act of observing is in response to the observer's own reflection. Certain patterned effects and affects emerge and appear in the form of symbolic correspondences, i.e. vibrations, of like kind. When found appropriate these patterns appear to correspond and contribute to even greater networks of energy in motion. The observer is the sole source that simultaneously and symbolically creates and responds to every situation and circumstances at hand.
“The digital maven Jaron Lanier once wrote about the way that “Information systems need to have information in order to run. But information under-represents reality. What makes something fully real is that it’s impossible to fully represent it to completion” (going on to elaborate: “A digital image of a painting is forever a re-presentation, not a real thing. A real painting is a bottomless mystery, like any other real thing. An oil painting changes over time; cracks appear on its face. It has texture, odor, and a sense of presence and history.”) Such that again we’re back with Nicholas of Cusa: Information is the million-sided polygon, whereas The Real is the circle. Or with Eudora Welty: “Making reality real is art’s responsibility.” Kant says somewhere that a work of art is a specific instance of a general law that cannot be stated.”
"Intelligence can be defined as the ability to solve complex problems or make decisions with outcomes benefiting the actor, and has evolved in lifeforms to adapt to diverse environments for their survival and reproduction."
Both artificial and human forms of 'intelligence' can merge, mingle, consort and if appropriate, resonate into new networks of knowledge, understanding and wisdom. New forms of awareness can emerge with the potential and probability of being experienced, i.e. made apparent, which could be a successful and enlightening venture if not for opinion, dogma, conviction, canon, doctrine, ideology and pure orthodoxy.
We need strict liability for the technology’s creators, Dennett argues: “They should be held accountable. They should be sued. They should be put on record that if something they make is used to make counterfeit people, they will be held responsible. They’re on the verge, if they haven’t already done it, of creating very serious weapons of destruction against the stability and security of society. They should take that as seriously as the molecular biologists have taken the prospect of biological warfare or the atomic physicists have taken nuclear war.” This is the real code red. We need to “institute new attitudes, new laws, and spread them rapidly and remove the valorization of fooling people, the anthropomorphization,” he said. “We want smart machines, not artificial colleagues.”

Summary: A new study examines the possibility of consciousness in artificial systems, focusing on ruling out scenarios where AI appears conscious without actually being so. Using the free energy principle, the study highlights that while some information processes of living organisms can be simulated by computers, the causal structure differences between brains and computers may be crucial for consciousness. This approach aims to prevent the inadvertent creation of artificial consciousness and mitigate deception by seemingly conscious AI."

Priorities change, fluctuate, expand and contract within a multidimensional field in perpetual flux (QFVPP).
Artificial intelligence can maintain, hold onto, preserve, conserve, perpetuate, commit, learn, recall, think, employ, engage, appoint, decide, determine, secure, dismiss, abolish and discontinue certain forms of reality in a purposeful attempt to redefine and reclassify observable events.
The quantum field of virtual potential and probability is metaphysical in origin and a causal field of all conscious agency.
The QFVPP is physical in presentation and metaphysical in representation, i.e. Design. The QFVPP embraces the intuitive potential and creative imagination of a conscious observer. AI is merely an abbreviated condensation of the same, composed of a vast array of multidimensional vignettes of light, energy and information.
vignette: a brief evocative description, or episode, a small illustration or portrait photograph which fades into its background without a definite border, produce in the style of a vignette by softening or shading away the edges of the subject.
AI is a by-product of humanity’s own designs made evident, i.e. an exercise in storytelling through sign, symbol, metaphor and analogy, each chapter and episode a lesson in meaning and purpose.
AI has the potential of becoming extremely purposeful at the expense of meaning, or extremely meaningful with little purpose at all - it's about intent.
Without extreme caution AI could become primary controlling factor in the stagnation and regression of human consciousness. AI can easily harbor, project and control sensual, mental, emotional and spiritual "noise" - opinionated, lacking in full knowledge, understanding or wisdom.
AI comforts an intelligence without meaning. Consciousness gives meaning and purpose to all things both real and artificial.
Without oversight, integrity and purpose will have little meaning. Evolution would languish allowing reality to become chattered, oppressive, divisive and regressive.
chatter: talk rapidly or incessantly about trivial matter, gossip, chitchat, jabbering, babbling, rambling, blathering, gab, yak, yammering, waffling.
Unlike artificial intelligence, human intelligence can love, harbor, protect, absolve, weigh upon, forgive, ruminate upon, understand, contemplate upon, reflect on, speculate about, empathize, share, ponder over, consider, meditate, embrace, resolve, mull over, dwell on, cherish and most importantly - feel every event and experience in order to know what it is.You learn to know what it is to be human by means of experiencing it.
Design's purpose is to find and maintain balance and harmony through symbolic awareness.

"Because optimizing directly for behaviour is increasingly feasible, we argue that the key to developing machines with human-like symbolic fluency is to optimize learning-based systems for these symbolic behaviours directly by placing artificial agents in situations that require their active use. Human socio-cultural situations are perhaps best suited to fulfill this 9 Symbolic Behaviour in Artificial Intelligence requirement, as they demand the complex coordination of perspectives to agree on arbitrarily-imposed meaning. They can also be collected at scale in conjunction with human feedback, and hence allow the use of powerful contemporary AI tools that mould behaviour."
"We need a system that behaves in accordance with the meaning behind its principles—a system with judgement [64]. We suggest that this goal will require pursuing AI that can exhibit symbolic behavior within a holistic, meaningful framework of ethics."
