Intelligence! Artificial or Real ???

Intelligence. Artificial or Real

I recently read a joke about the decline of #real #intelligence as the use of #artificialintelligence is rising. I think the focus on artificial vs real is misleading. We should realize that ‘#Intelligence’ is what ultimately matters. Though in today’s parlance intelligence is as mechanical a process, as real or artificial is. Process because it is the outcome of processing data. All the #data we gather as #memory is processed to extract #information and retention and use of that information is referred to as #Intelligence. We also #think that physically the brain has a limitation when it comes to processing vs a computer (which is now advancing from super to quantum). But what can we learn from #computing by #machines? That they have only one job; to ‘compute’ based on the algorithms or program that's been designed for it to run. It is not dealing with a boss screaming at its back or husband or wife or child or friend or enemy, bothering it with chores or questions or plans or wars or news. Which our brains are bothered with due to the 5 built-in "input-sources" (eyes, ears, nose, tongue, and skin). So to discount the #capabilities of our brain is inhuman. There have been live cases where humans have shown the ability to process multiple tracks of thought at one time and in a moment. (Multi-tasking mentally, is a real thing if we follow yogic science).

So why is it that we are unable to harness the computing power of our #brains? Here’s what we need to consider. One, are we able to provide the required energy to carry out that kind of processing? Today, just to do our day-to-day work the brain consumes 20% of all the energy we generate. Secondly, and I think more importantly, can we allow our brains to function in #silence? With #order. Which means, can we take away all the #conflicts that we carry in our heads so that there is #clarity and #silence? Because that is when #intelligence will prevail. Our #brains or #mind will rise above the mechanical usage that we want to put it to. Which will be real “living”, “love”, or “nirvana”; all the things we have given up on by #believing and not trying to #know. And have been chasing success and triumph and wins (#identity), to remain in this cycle. Which is a never-ending pursuit of ‘no one knows what’.
