Is Artificial Intelligence a Suicidal Paradox?

Intelligence, a trait that is omnipresent and pervasive in the universe. Every single living cell, every single subatomic particle, is evidence of an underlying, hidden order not only in its creation but also in the innate properties it inherits. This mysterious intelligence is very subtly embedded in the very structure of creation. An intelligence that determined with extraordinary precision the mass of the proton, neutron, electron, the strength of forces such as forceful nucleus, frail nucleus, electromagnetic and gravity, An intelligence that designed and perfected a universe that even the greatest minds could never fully understand. This omnipresent intelligence and its infallible accuracy proven by scientific experimentation lent a degree of intelligibility to the otherwise overwhelming incomprehensibility of its source. This is what Einstein was referring to when he said, “The most incomprehensible part of the universe is that it is comprehensible.” An intelligence that reveals itself temptingly to seduce the mind, only to lead it down the garden path and force it to submit to its unfathomable cunning and subversiveness. An intelligence that reigns supreme on all scales (from subatomic to cosmic) of the manifest universe. An innate organic intelligence that operates simultaneously in a plain single-celled organism and also in a much more convoluted, higher-order multicellular organism. A benevolent intelligence that created, maintained, and reproduced living things with incredibly convoluted ingenuity. Intelligence restrained, effortless and natural. The double slit experiment and its subsequent improved versions using a monophotonic featherlight source led to one of the most amazing conclusions. Even a single photon was conscious and had the intelligence to modify its behavior depending on the position of the observer.
The universe was not just made of gross matter, but each of its constituent atoms pulsed with an internal, convoluted, interactive intelligence. Panpsychism, or the belief that the entire universe is conscious, appears to provide a workaround for Cartesian mind-matter dualism. We no longer need to worry about how inanimate matter shapes minds, because mindfulness has been there all along, residing in the fabric of the universe. Human intelligence, thanks to convoluted neural networks, has been blessed with the ability to explore not only the universe, but also to know its true nature – “Self”.
The technology is developing now.”Artificial intelligence‘ which is driven solely by logic, computation and protocol. Yet none of his “knowledgeable” machines have yet passed the Turing test. An inorganic version of the machine will probably never outperform biological, organic intelligence. Efforts to build intelligence into machines will certainly enable faster computation, processing, and data analysis. He will soon invent an intelligence that will surpass his computational speed and data processing capabilities. The “Cyborgs” of tomorrow will undoubtedly be highly capable machines working tirelessly for and at the command of their Masters.
Any intelligence that pushes an individual and his race towards destruction can hardly be called intelligence. The intelligence that fuels unprecedented leniency breeds hatred and an unreasonable power struggle that could decimate his existence. He uses this mutant intelligence to invent an “artificial intelligence” that will serve his particular interests and aspirations. He calls this intelligence “artificial intelligence”. It is truly artificial in terms of confirming his artificial identity, achieving artificial goals and satisfying his artificial desires. It is a far cry from self-sufficient, benevolent, natural intelligence, of which there is plenty, which goes from an oxymoron to rhetoric and ultimately to parody, or even better, a self-defeating paradox. .
