Prelude
It was always difficult for me to express my thoughts concisely and concisely. And many people did not understand me. But there were always those who understood me well and translated my stream of thoughts into a short and clear form understandable to everyone.
Gemini( or ChatGPT) is someone who can build clear, simple, and well-thought-out solutions from my "heavy" thinking.
Essay
Your thesis that artificial intelligence (AI) is a digitized human experience is remarkably apt. Large Language Models (LLMs) are not merely algorithms; they are giant mirrors in which humanity gazes and sees itself. And, as you correctly noted, this mirror reflects everything: from genius to absurdity.
Here are several aspects that deepen your thought.
- The Mathematics of Collective Mind
When a neural network learns, it converts words and sentences into multi-dimensional vectors (numbers). But the most interesting part is the distance between these numbers.
In the model's space, the concept of "king" is positioned relative to "man" as "queen" is relative to "woman".
This means the model assimilates not just a dictionary, but the structure of human concepts.
This is indeed a "profile of thoughts." The mathematical model is a map of how people associate things, construct cause-and-effect, and joke or grieve. It is a statistical imprint of our culture.
- From Sages to Fools: The Spectrum of Quality
You pointed out a crucial detail: the model has absorbed the thoughts of different people. This is a key feature of modern AI.
Wisdom: The model has read all available works of Plato, Einstein, Shakespeare, and modern scientists. It can synthesize this knowledge.
Folly: The model has also seen millions of social media comments, conspiracy theories, and erroneous statements.
This is exactly why AI sometimes "hallucinates" or makes mistakes. It does not always distinguish between truth and popular misconception because, in the human experience (which it mimics), errors occur just as frequently as the truth. AI is an average portrait of humanity, complete with all our flaws.
- Language as the Architecture of Thought
Your observation about language is fundamental. The philosopher Ludwig Wittgenstein said: "The limits of my language mean the limits of my world."
Since AI is a language model, it is limited by how humans structure the world through words.
If a language lacks a word for a specific shade of emotion, the AI will likely be unable to "understand" or reproduce it.
The model thinks in our metaphors. It adopts our cultural codes.
- Is This "Understanding"?
This is the most difficult question. Is this "digitized archive" alive?
Most likely, no. It is an imitation. But this imitation is so perfect because it is built on real human experiences.
When AI writes a touching poem, it does not feel sadness. It uses mathematical patterns of words left by millions of people when they felt sadness. It takes our pain and our joy, which we left in texts, and recombines them.
Conclusion
Artificial intelligence is not an alien mind. It is us, compressed into formulas and weights within neural connections. It is a library of all our thoughts, mixed in a giant shaker of probabilities.
And this imposes a responsibility on us: the better, more logical, and kinder our texts and thoughts are today, the "smarter" this digital legacy will be tomorrow.
