Acharya Prashant responds to a question about the fear that Artificial Intelligence (AI), particularly conversational apps like ChatGPT, will take over human jobs. He begins by expressing a moment of "perverse pleasure" in the agony of those who feel threatened by AI. He argues that if a job can be taken over by AI, it is a mechanical, programmable task that a human never deserved to be doing in the first place. He asserts that one should not have taken up such a mechanical job to begin with. Acharya Prashant clarifies that AI has no consciousness. While it is called "Artificial Intelligence," it is definitely artificial, but it possesses no real intelligence. It merely looks intelligent because it is programmed to process data at extremely granular levels, making its responses appear almost sentient, as if coming from a human being. However, these are just programmed reactions, not genuine understanding. He explains that if you are in a job that involves predictable, programmable, and mechanical roles, you were enjoying a long run of luck that has now ended. Instead of complaining, you should accept that you were lucky until this point. He further elaborates that human beings are creatures of consciousness, which does not correspond to programming. Human potential lies in creativity, understanding, love, and liberation—qualities that a machine can never possess. For instance, if you ask ChatGPT to write a poem, it will do so by copying, stitching together bits and pieces, and plagiarizing popular content. This is not true creativity. He points out that many humans compose poems in the same mechanical way. He humorously adds that if a machine can write a poem for your girlfriend, you don't deserve to be a boyfriend, and if she is satisfied with it, she can't tell the difference, and you don't deserve her either. The rise of AI, he says, is a challenge for humans to be truly human and do justice to their birth by engaging in sentient, creative acts that involve consciousness. AI has come to display how many people are wasting their human birth by doing things they are not supposed to do. The ideal situation would be for AI to perform all menial, programmable functions, while humans engage in tasks that AI can never do.
