Typical of art is that different people interpret it in different ways. My interpretation is that a Higher Power sends us our Intuitions.
Here is my latest adventure with ChatGPT: My prompt to ChatGPT: Chat, I want you to pretend that you are a parent in a highly-advanced spiritual civilization elsewhere in the universe. Assume that your child says that she has read about something called the Heart Alphabet. It is a list of 10 attributes as follows: compassion, dignity, empathy, forgiveness, gratitude, humility, integrity, justice, kindness, and love. This heart alphabet is supposed to be used by your child in her interactions with other beings on your planet. Your child then asks you to explain what each of these attributes means. Please use a bullet format for your discourse. ChatGPT: As a parent in a highly-advanced spiritual civilization, explaining the Heart Alphabet to my child would involve imparting wisdom that integrates our advanced understanding with these timeless virtues. Here’s how I might explain each attribute: Compassion: Feeling deeply for others and their experiences, understanding their pain or joy as if it were your own. It's about wanting to help and support not just because it's expected, but because your heart truly feels what another is going through. Dignity: Recognizing and respecting the inherent worth and nobility in every being. It means treating everyone with honor and respect, regardless of their status or differences, acknowledging the value of every life form in the cosmos. Empathy: The ability to truly understand and share the feelings of another. It’s about putting yourself in someone else’s situation, feeling their emotions as your own, and using that understanding to connect with them on a deep level. Forgiveness: Letting go of resentment, anger, or blame towards others or yourself. It’s understanding that everyone makes mistakes, and choosing to release negative feelings to make room for peace and healing. Gratitude: Appreciating and being thankful for the blessings and lessons in life, whether big or small. It’s about recognizing the value of what you have, the experiences you go through, and the beings you encounter, fostering a sense of abundance and joy. Humility: Acknowledging that no matter how much we know or achieve, there’s always more to learn and ways to grow. It’s about being open and modest, not placing oneself above others, and recognizing the contributions of all. Integrity: Living in truth and honesty, aligning your actions with your values and principles. It means being trustworthy and consistent in your thoughts, words, and deeds, even when no one is watching. Justice: Ensuring fairness and equality, and standing up for the rights of all beings. It involves working towards a balance where everyone has the opportunity to thrive and be heard, and addressing wrongs with the aim of restoration and harmony. Kindness: Showing gentleness, caring, and generosity in your interactions with others. It’s about small acts of love and consideration that make a difference, creating ripples of goodness that uplift those around you. Love: The most profound connection and unconditional acceptance of others. It's a boundless energy that encompasses care, respect, and the desire for all beings to live in happiness and peace. Love is the foundation that supports all the other attributes, guiding us to act for the greater good. Explaining these attributes to my child, I’d emphasize that the Heart Alphabet is not just a set of virtues to aspire to, but a way of being that can transform our world. These principles guide us in creating a society that thrives on mutual respect, understanding, and love, essential for the continued advancement and harmony of our civilization.
Hi Mary, I also feel a bit of trepidation about AI. I’m not talking about the Hollywood fear of AI going rogue, getting out of control and destroying humanity. I am more concerned with the unemployment that AI will produce. It will be a challenge as to how the newly unemployed can be helped during the transition to better times. Longer term, I am very optimistic about AI and robots producing many new useful products at a much lower prices. The cost of living should drop a great deal. Some form of universal basic income (UBI) may become necessary. Where will the government get the money for UBI? Since robots will be creating the unemployment, one proposed solution is taxing each robot that a corporation uses. It might work fine. We will see in the coming years.
Mary, I am glad you enjoyed Chat’s discourse on the Heart Alphabet. I use the Heart Alphabet sometimes for meditation. When I do, I also look at the following Dalle image of the heart. It leads to a good meditation session.
Definitely uplifting. My issues so far with AI have to do with the ease of stealing copywritten art work. My daughter pointed it out that with a slight change of anything in the picture and it is no longer covered by the copywrite. And then with politics as they are you can have anyone saying anything, in person, even if they were not there. It is not yet perfected. You can tell by the slightly robotic way of being of the people in the videos but they will get there. And students won't have to write their own term papers... I am not worried about an indestructable, robotic Arnold Schwartzeneger showing up
I have been down on AI worrying about the evil that can exist it might provide more than the good. But today I am kind of excited after seeing this. True transcription of ancient scrolls can be had.
I think that this is a really interesting use for AI , and it can help us better understand our history that we have not known before. I see the AI as a mixture of danger and benefits, and it is hard to know which will be most used. I have been reading about the reset and the buildings we are told were built in the 1800’s. There is a guy on youtube that puts in the technical information about what was needed to construct these ancient buildings, and how long it would take, using tools and labor available in that time period. He is finding out that what we are told in places like Wikipedia just does not conform to what was possible to build back then, showing that we are actually finding remnants of an older civilization here in the Americas, and all over the whole world.
I no longer look much to wikipedia for info. It is written by who knows who. And when I was searching an info site wiki dismissed it as a lying disinformation site when the info I found was not either. Conspiracy theories are proving themselves true but somebody does not like that. LIke Trump election interference as opposed to Biden election interference and the world wide invasion caused by the UN and WEF.
To follow up on your above post, here's a clip from page from wikipedia.org itself saying that it's not a reliable source. I won't post the whole thing here, but the link is below. Wikipedia is not a reliable source for citations elsewhere on Wikipedia ... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Wikipedia_is_not_a_reliable_source
I completely agree with you about Wikipedia not being totally correct information, @Mary Stetler , and especially about current information, it leans to liberal viewpoints. Since people can add to what is in the website, answers can be slanted in different ways. What I was actually referring to was historical information about old structures here in the United States, as to when they were built, how long it took to build them, and who the architect was. Pretty much , this is just repeated information, and not something political that would be modified for someone’s viewpoints. I have been reading about the old buildings and in regard to the world reset that might have taken place back in the 1800’s, when so many of these buildings were supposed to have been built; but may have been left over from an earlier civilization and simply repurposed. The information can be fed into an AI chat and it can tell whether that building could have been constructed in the time frame it was said to have been constructed in. Here is an example of what I am talking about:
