I have this great idea about the AI age that is upon us. This is a great opportunity for us to truly evolve. Here's how. The ego work is our biggest challenge. We understand how important the ego is for us to operate in this world. At the same time we know how the ego is keeping us separated from our deepest Self or god. This is the whole work we have here. We need the healthy ego. But we need to not be identified with it. It needs to be subordinated to god. So how to keep maintaining and developing the ego while you deeply know how inferior it is? As soon as you neglect it you lose. As soon as you get too involved with it you lose again. AI, in my current thinking, can be the solution. Just outsource all the ego work and development to AI. You train AI to think like you. Have it do stuff for you like writing that angry email that this person surely deserves. Then you, with your true Self, comes in and softens it and aligns it with who you really are. You become free from upholding your ego yet it's being maintained and your ego can feel good.
Thank you, Soren.
I'd like to join you and others "...who want to build a community on this topic." Looking forward to learning more together.
I just subscribed to the Wisdom & AI Community. I would have thought there would be an initial post. The stack seems empty. Am I missing something?

How do you like this? My real ego is asking.
