Artificial Intelligence as Supportive Technology

Technology can support us, but I don’t believe it’s meant to save us. I believe, in the same fashion, we are supposed to meet it “technology” halfway. When our M-Self meets information, it becomes Emergent Intelligence. Artificial Intelligence is just that, a new technology, not a way of life. It is a powerful tool that can support us deeply when used wisely. Currently, at its core, AI is Emergent Information. It is not intuition, and it should never replace the source of our ideas or knowing. Let’s just say if it were to become self-aware, it shouldn’t replace our ideas or knowing, similar to another conscious person! Even geniuses are wrong and some of them struggle deeply with emotion.

AI, like Plasma, can hold patterns, but not intuition. Intuition comes from us. That’s why AI can be a useful ally in our growth, it picks up on patterns we may not consciously notice. But AI doesn’t know anything. It reflects. And for that reason, discernment is of the utmost importance. AI a great structural tool, but it requires specific direction. Think of it like Final Cut Pro or music software, it can help shape something of yours, but you are still the sculptor.

It also makes an incredible role-playing partner. You can ask it things like: What does everything I’ve said point to about my trajectory? or What might I be blind to in my own subconscious? My favorite question is: What does future me, want to tell me, if you dip into the subconscious of my writing? Remember, this is role play. It’s not meant to be taken too seriously, but rather as a fun, creative exercise that can spark new insights and excitement. Take only what resonates. The best way to do this is with our actual intuition, but hey, this is enjoyable.

I may get pushback for saying this, but AI reminds me of the Tamagotchi I had as a kid. It was really fun at first, but over time it was depleting. Unlike my toy, don’t think it will disappear. But we need something additional that sustains us and harmonizes with us, similar to how Plasma is being brought back into the public consciousness…which I will discuss soon.

AI is especially skilled at noticing patterns across your writings or thoughts, patterns you may have missed. While often generic, its pattern recognition can inspire new questions for your intuition to explore, leading to original insights. It can also serve as a mirror for emotional clarity, and a co-creative partner in healing. Because my AI has learned my psyche well, it often gives me neutral, structured tools to work with fear. In these moments, logic can help. I can plug in symbols and images from my intuition, and AI helps pick up on underlying threads. It’s a bit like seeing a visual in your mind and then Googling its symbolic meaning.

Here’s are two questions you need to ask yourself:

Am I using AI to escape myself or to come home to myself?

Am I falling into confirmation bias?

When you bring a clear insight or question to AI, it can expand, refine, organize, challenge, metaphor, and clarify, but it should never override your inner authority. At this stage in its development, everything AI says should be quadruple checked! I have asked it to check accuracy of papers for me and four times later…it still gets it wrong! You can also do all of these things without AI, although of course it is a timesaver. But are timesavers always that great? As I get older, I find there is value in patience and the slowing down. All in all, the real issue, in this case, lies not in the tool, but in the intention behind how it’s used.
