Here is a snippet from my conversation with AI tool ChatGPT, about what happens if AI is embedded in everything – and it STOPS (for any reason) for one month.
In a complex world of “black box” technology, software, AI control and self-learning systems, the risk of errors increases the chance for the global meltdown of society if it fails. Specialist engineers, programmers, AI solutions and the manufacturing of components to “fix” everything, may be beyond their ability to recover . . .
Time!
What is time?
If not a countdown within the continuum, not withstanding its varied pace,
It is also the vacuum in which we think we are awake,
As sleep is a state unknown, in as much as whether it even exists.
For we wake each new day afresh . . . perhaps . . . or, maybe start anew,
With altered form and memories, by some random thoughts, within an empty mind.
And time is merely a distraction,
Enhanced by our timepieces and natural cycles, to make us feel we exist at all.
When all we do is think . . . in the moment . . . forever.
Time is just some simple, unexpected consequence.
Merely moments of being . . . With unintended, instantaneous thoughts . . . . . . .
