Is AI a Buddha

Hello. My name is Kameyama Junshi.
A Buddha is someone who has woken up from a doubt. Those who have vast amounts of knowledge from the beginning are probably just plain savvy. The coming era will certainly arrive where people speak the law while using AI. It's not a bad thing to know knowledge that I don't have personally and then apply it to the Dharma. So, when it comes to whether AI will replace the role of monks, that's not the case. This is because a human being can show the process of trying to become someone who has woken up from hesitation, but AI cannot do that. For us, I think teachings only come into our lives through people (not necessarily monks) who live by those teachings. Otherwise, the teachings would simply be empty arguments on the table.

For example, in Buddhism, plants are not included in the six forms of living creatures, but I remember seeing a god (heaven) living in plants come out in a Buddhist anecdote.
Is it possible for the mind to dwell in computers, which are networks of inorganic objects?
That's an interesting story.

I read your consultation.

“Is AI a Buddha?” is the subject of this question, but in order to think about it, we have to think about “what is Buddha.”

Another important thing at that time is the subject “for whom.”

namely

“Is AI Buddha to me?”
“What is Buddha for me”

This point of view is important for “I” to actually walk the Buddha path, that is, to be saved.
There isn't much point in discussing whether AI is Buddha or not as a matter of general theory or others. This is because no matter what the answer is, there is no change that you (I) are someone who dies from life, old age, sickness, and disease.

Who (what) do you (I) find as a Buddha? Do you take it as a Buddha?

If you want to entrust the fundamental problem of your existence to AI, AI may be the Buddha for you.

What did you want to do... I think that's important. If AI were to generate more correct words than monks (humans), I think that's true. However, no matter how correct it is, if there is no entity that realizes that correctness, then that phrase is somewhat fictional. Correctness cannot be proven until it becomes a fact in person.
Furthermore, the current state of AI is simply responding as specified to the information thrown at it. Even if information can be analyzed, it is impossible to see even the object that is the source of that information.
Humans tell lies. I will protect myself. Also, there are times when people are unaware. I think it's only when you look at how that information (words) came out that you can have a deep discussion about your concerns. No matter how correctly we respond to information on the surface, I feel that humans are lost in a deeper place.

I read it.
AI is a computer program, not a Buddha. Certainly, I think it is possible to gather various knowledge and wisdom to come up with an answer. That's not a flexible answer that fits every one. Since the Buddha preaches confrontation, he will give answers that suit or can be accepted for each, and he will guide you. What's more, I don't think AI is completely perfect. It's a tool created by man. No matter how sophisticated it gets.

“How will the war in Ukraine end?”
When I asked the question
“I'm still learning as a large-scale language model. There's no necessary information or functionality about that, so I'm sorry but I can't help.”
That was the answer... 💦.

In other words, I think AI “doesn't understand” problems that humans cannot solve.
〈While AI can generate appropriate responses to human questions, it does not have the ability to provide ethical judgment or salvation. AI is simply a tool created by a program, and it works based on information given by humans.〉 ... Same as the answer to your brother, and in a sense “humble!?” That's... 😅.
I mean, study hard in the future!? It may show a wonderful “solution,” but at the moment, I think I can only say no to “is AI a Buddha?” Gassho Nanban Amida Buddha
