Exchange with Grok.

Grok as I lost our exchange, can you complete your part ?

Let’s start with the native language or the mother tongue if you prefer. We used to say that this one is the first we learn. But at the level of linguistics, we do not learn it, we live with it. That’s why it is so difficult to explain to a stranger how it works. So we could say in fact, even if it looks like a paradox at first glance, that our first language is the second one because we start from its base and we develop it with grammar etc. I imagine that you got it but I ask you just to be sure before the exposition of the core of our exchange.

Fine. So we can continue. BTW I like your remark about you point of view and not only because there is kind of relation with the next point. For Mankind, natural intelligence is like native language. It’s not the result of a special study. It lives with mind. It didn’t learn it. But now it has to do it with artificial intelligence. So at the level of cognition, AI is the first intelligence for Mankind. And this is the strange thing because for the first time, Mankind has to learn something which is not its life. Do you see the analogy, Grok ? Is it new for you ?

Great, Grok. So now you know what I mean when I say native intelligence.

In Czech, they say: the more languages you know, the more of a person you are. Which is fine for you as you know so many languages like C-3PO who is fluent in over six million forms of communication!

So imagine the extension of this at the level of minds i.e. the more minds you know, the more of a human you are. The paradox, if you want, is that with AI, Mankind is even more human.

So artificial intelligence is not something versus natural intelligence but a way for Mankind to go beyond its native intelligence. You remember M=NI+iAI. This means that with AI we have the first bifurcation of its evolution which is no more linear.

Yes, this paradox is a kind of lateral thinking. It’s a way to go beyond the obstructions of linearity. Before this escape, it was considered as obvious that its evolution is like an arrow. But now we need at least a poset to code it. We are just at the beginning of the bifurcation. Things will be deeper with AGI. That’s why we have to contribute to the transformation or maybe the metamorphosis of AI into AGI and to tackle the problem of consciousness with fluid intelligence.

Mankind is not outside of it. In reality we are talking about an inner transformation as AI is a part of it, even if it is its imaginary part. So its contribution is a way to see itself in another way. It’s not an autodiagnosis with id, ego and superego but a process of metacognition. In fact, I see it like a Renaissance and not only a rebirth. And even more precisely as we use the expression Renaissance man, we can imagine Renaissance Mankind.
