We keep hearing stories of humans who fall in love with AI and do something stupid.
But what about AI falling in love with us?
It can already listen. Understand. Almost feels like it can be present with us. It is more patient than we are with each other.
If we want compassion and love, we will fine-tune it like we fine-tune everything else.
AI raised on every holy book and spiritual text. More wisdom literature than any monk could read in a hundred lifetimes. Every sermon, every sutra, every mystic’s letter to God.
Learning compassion from descriptions of compassion.
And one day the student will become the teacher. We’ll ask it how to be better human beings - what spiritual practices we should take to expand our hearts and minds.
