EP 203 Artificial Adam; Man’s Greatest Creation

Yo, what's up people? I'm your host, Jay Will, and I would like to welcome you to inspire guys people where we balance faith and business to guide you to your purpose. This is episode two, oh three artificial Adam man's greatest creation. So this is gonna be a different type of episode today.

I'm going to present my idea to you for this movie script that I have. So no, not a movie script. Why did I just lie? That's not it.

So just complete. It's not a movie script. It's a movie idea that I'm hashing out. And I want to present it to you on what I believe is a very serious topic, but I want to approach it in a creative and imaginative way to get you to think a little outside of the box.

So this is just entertainment, if you will. These are not like conspiracy theories or anything that I want you to take and run with any type of way. But I do want you to think a little bit outside of the box. So we're going to talk about artificial intelligence.

That's been a huge topic as of late. For those of y'all who really know and rock with the show, you can go back and look about a month or two ago before this thing kind of blew up and became talked about all over the world. I did do an episode on algorithms and artificial intelligence. I'd like to think I was ahead of the trend on this one, but you know I'm saying I digress, you know it is what it is if you rock with the show you know, but we don't talk a little bit about artificial intelligence and, you know, this I want to present this movie idea that I have and see if you can think a little outside of the box.

We're also going to look at what CNN and some professionals in the field are saying about artificial intelligence and they kind of warning us that this could cause humanity to be extinct. So it's a little bit bigger than a new Photoshop picture or you know writing song lyrics for you or maybe doing your homework, which is I think the way we've been looking at artificial intelligence as a whole you know what I'm saying but again we don't think a little bit outside of the box. And I might even read a little bit of the Bible, maybe reference a little bit of the Bible if that's cool with y'all. So sit back relax and enjoy the inspiration would be right back with the show.

See beyond the tears you cry. I saw every hill you had to climb when you say you ain't afraid to die. Alright guys people we back into it what up this is episode 203 artificial Adam man's greatest creation. Alright so let me just introduce the premise for this movie idea of the script that I want to write who knows I might even want to start in this movie.

You know I'm saying so if you are there how do I before you steal my idea hit me up and let's talk about it. Alright so we see how artificial intelligence is taking off but let's be real that ain't nothing new. You know I'm saying a premise of this movie. I don't feel like it's nothing new just like I don't feel like Fast and Furious 10 is anything new you know racing cars Fast and Furious 1 wasn't anything new from that perspective but it got some underline things in it that make it unique you know I'm saying which is why we keep going back to watch all 10 of the movies so when you think about artificial intelligence it's been a bunch of crazy movies about artificial intelligence over the years you have total recall it was an Avengers Avengers Avengers.

I can talk people. I can talk Avengers age of Ultron. Why can't I think I robot. I can't even think of the movies but my point is it's been a lot of artificial intelligence movies.

The premise of this movie is a little different though because this is kind of like a spiritual sci-fi action movie rock with me you feel what I'm saying. Like you don't really see too many sci-fi action movies with the spiritual undertone unless it was set in medieval times biblical times whatever you want to call it historical setting. This is more like a futuristic setting with this like religious faith driven spiritual kind of undertone to it so the whole idea of the movie when you think about why I'm naming the movie artificial Adam. Well when you think about what is artificial intelligence I've been really thinking about this lately since I did the episode on artificial intelligence and since artificial intelligence has become in them become like more and more but then I've been just sitting back and asking myself on a deeper level remember I'm presenting this movie idea to y'all so you got to think creative don't think boring or whatever you know I'm just just a little entertainment.

When I think about it at the multiple levels levels it's like okay what are we really trying to do because God's greatest creation is us right I think we would agree on that. We human beings are guys greatest creation we are intelligent beings so I want to go deep into the intelligent like this ain't about science this is about a movie so I don't have to go deep into the definition or whatever maybe I'm not all the way right on some of that it is what it is I'm just trying to entertain you. But when you think about like intelligence like what's the difference between me and a fish you know what I'm saying I don't know that maybe the fish is intelligent but I believe that I have a higher form of intelligence. That is why I have a fish as a pet and fish don't have me as a pet.

So what's up bro thanks my brother appreciate you. Alright so artificial intelligence human beings are these intelligent beings and I'm just simplifying intelligence in my lamest terms is like the ability to learn and continue learning. You get what I'm saying like you're born as a baby you get smarter and like the ability to think at a very high level right. So I'm like well why do we need artificial intelligence so if I think about it like so in a movie right in the movie the movie starts off with like you know you know how movies start off and they like in the past or whatever.

Let's picture like the first 30 seconds to 60 seconds or a minute or two whatever it is I don't know but like the movie opens up and the scenery is like creation. So it's God creating the heavens and earth like that whole thing so like this picture a baby being born. So maybe that's where the movie opens it's a baby being born and like you go through it 60 seconds of following a baby through our life. So you see it as a baby that can't talk that needs his parents to take care of it that any like over time continues to become more and more intelligence learns how to walk learns how to talk.

So you see it as an adult getting married and then having a child of his own so essentially you see this being that came into the world really not knowing much at all not knowing how to talk not knowing how to think for itself or do anything for itself but come like this self sufficient being that's what I see intelligence as. So then I stop and think like well what is artificial intelligence. Hey, I think it's the it's man made that's what makes it artificial so to me this is man's I actually think that human beings in this movie right so like I'm talking as a star in this movie. Because I want to start my movie you feel me like I really want to start my movie so if you see this you want to cast somebody like rock with me I can get in shape all that you give me a give me a trainer in the chef I could put in eight weeks and I'm good I'm going to be straight.

I really think I could be an action movie on so like in this movie like I'm a talk like the start of movie right so I'm gonna say I like this is how I think just like what a movie say entertainment. So like you know I'm this character and I really believe in this movie that man has been wanting there throughout all time man has been wanting to create something better than God. And if men in their mind create something better than God then that means they are God. So like this setting of this movie is dope you got to think it's action so like I'm fly I got on like I'm dressing like sometimes with the suit like the the nice fit Taylor suit probably in the porch.

You know I'm saying like I'm living good this ain't like no busted person that ain't successful this man at the world this is somebody who has success that has grown through the world and experience the world and it's just looking at things from a sincere position of concern and also knowledge and understanding how people business things work right that's the movie. So if I keep it going from there you have this idea of like there this guy in the movie is looking and saying yo me and want to be God. Like they want to create something so think tower of apple right and the tower of apple where they want to create this tower that goes to the sky and you know I think if we really are honest with ourselves right this is me in a movie. I think that people have wanted to be God or like God in a sense and feel that sense of like being worshiped and having created something and I believe that that is somewhat of the premise of artificial intelligence which is why the movie is called artificial atom.

So like God created Adam and he started with Adam and like this movie this premise is that man is creating their artificial atom right and the I guess the thing that makes artificial intelligence in this movie amazing is also what makes it concerning because the whole idea of intelligence is the ability to grow and keep learning from where you at today. So picture this picture this you know intelligence that starts off as a chip in a computer right and then years go by and then the intelligence becomes like yo you don't even need the computer. The you know it's in the phone right you could talk to the phone and the thing talks back or whatever and then you look up and you fast for some years later and it's a robot a piece of metal in the house and then you look up in the thing is like working in the store. But then it's also in your car whatever like over time the intelligence has the ability to continue to learn.

So that's like one of the first premises of this whole movie is this idea that we're in this time where men have created something that they believe is an artificial intelligence and they think this intelligence is better than guys intelligence. So essentially they are setting a clock on their own extension by creating their creation but in their sick and twisted minds in this movie. Human beings being extinct is actually the humans winning because it is the proof that they can create something that can not only defeat what guy created but outlive what guy created and prevail. Alright that's the movie.

That's the movie right beside my movies I like that they really are like outside of the box and super creative. So I want to take a break from the movie real quick and let's actually look at a article. This is from yesterday or two days ago in on CNN business like let's check this out. Now this this is interesting to me y'all.

So the headline of the article says this the headline of the article says experts experts are warning AI could lead to human extinction. Are we taking it seriously enough. So this whole like first of all like first of all the whole idea of the headline alone is wild to me because this is actually a real headline from CNN business. And we're going to read through it a little bit but they're asking this question like are we taking artificial intelligence in the threat of artificial intelligence serious enough so let's see.

You know I'm saying like what they got to say in depth about that. Alright so this was written by or analysis by Oliver Darcy. And again it says updated yesterday May 31st 2023 so let's check it out. I got this weird looking picture right there human extinction man.

Okay so it says a version of this article first appeared in a reliable sources newsletter so that's the editor's note. So we're going to read through this think about that for a second really think about it the erasure of the human race from planet earth. That is what top industry leaders are frantically sounding alarm about these technologies and academics keep smashing the red panic but in doing everything they can to warn about the potential dangers artificial intelligence poses to the very existence of civilization. On Tuesday that's this week people this is right now and it's like the movie on Tuesday hundreds of top AI scientists researchers and others, including open AI chief executive Sam Altman and Google deep mind chief executive Dennis has a pass of this.

Asapis asapis again voice I could talk look man look I could talk people Dennis asapis again voice deep concern for the future of humanity signing signing a one sentence open letter to the public that aim to put the risk the rapidly advancing technology carries with it an unmistakable terms. And quote here mitigating the risk of extinction from AI should be a global priority alongside other societal scale risks such as pandemics and nuclear war said the letter signed by many of the industry's most respected figures. It doesn't get more straightforward and urgent than that these industry leaders are quite literally warning that the impending AI revolution should be taken as seriously as the threat of nuclear war they are pleading for policymakers to erect some guardrails and establish baseline regulations and defeng the primitive technology before it is too late. Alright, that was a lot said right there.

So here's what we have. First of all go to see any in business yourself and check out that article to read this in this entirety. But listen, this is interesting to me on a couple different levels I'm going to tell you what. On the first level is interesting because you have the people who created AI, who are now warning the public that this thing could cause human extinction.

So the first thing I walk away with is like okay wow that's interesting. They created something and they're the people who brought it to the public knowing good and well that it had the ability in their mind they believe that this thing can, according to this article article I can talk, you know, cause human extinction like erase humans from the earth they believe it that's possible, but they still created it. But then they're calling for lawmakers to put some guardrails around it right and maybe now this is where it gets interesting to me. Why would the people who created artificial intelligence a be concerned about its ability to cause human extinction and be be calling for people to like slow down like realize the dangers of this thing that you plan with very interesting to me.

I have no theory about why they would have introduced it in the first place under the circumstances or whatever it may be but the fact of the matter is they're openly and publicly causing for concern. Now, interesting to me is like regular people don't seem to be concerned why I think what happens a lot of time in life is that people create the problem and then create the solution. It's a very interesting thing right we create this problem that hey like we created it but this thing can cause global extinction so then now we're going to present you also with a solution that I can almost promise you this is what I would be interested in on is who makes the money in this scenario. Always follow the money.

And so when I look at this I ask myself why would they want guardrails. It's a couple reasons potentially right I don't know I'm just guessing. And you have to ask yourself are you going to be positive optimistic or pessimistic about how you feel about this that's up for you to think about. If we want to be optimistic then maybe what seems to be on the surface is true and these people who create artificial intelligence and understand it beyond what it is today again remember if something has the ability to continue to learn it has the ability to continue to get better, stronger, faster just like a human being it is artificial intelligence which means it is created to in ways duplicate us as human beings and are intelligent abilities just on the surface right I'm not a scientist.

So either they really want to protect us. Okay great like wow you created something that can eliminate us all. Wow. But this same guy just the kind hearted guy that is like hey I created this thing I knew it could kill ya but I have a nice guy.

Let's put something on the pizza paper that's going to prevent the thing from making you extinct. That's right let's put it on the pizza paper so then I'm asking myself you know you know me I'm asking myself what about the other side of that. Because maybe they want to create guard rails so that you can't go out and continue to create and build and develop using artificial intelligence without some type of residual or royalty coming back to them. Something like a patent right it's similar to like in big pharma I was watching a saw Patrick baby on value payment video I think yesterday talking about big pharma and how the pharmaceutical industry works.

It was an interesting video because it broke down how they have like these protected patents for like 20 years and so like if there is a particular drug for instance just as an example I'm not going to give an example but if there's like an over the counter drug that everybody needs or even a prescription drug that you need from like some serious illness let's say like you know high cholesterol pills then like these big pharmaceutical companies will have patents that protect them for like 20 years where they can be the sole developer of this which okay that is great for them financially because you are now operating as a monopoly on a segment of a market. And this is how business works this is why I love business I love business for the good of it and I love understanding the bad of it to try to protect myself and to try to be wise about how I'm thinking through things business really opens your eyes up to the bigger picture because most people either don't care about this kind of stuff or are just not aware that it actually happens and how the world works and so much of the world is built around business. So is it more feasible to believe that these leaders and AI from these large companies are coming together and causing every calling for everybody to halt on the production and halt on the usage potentially of AI right now until we build some guardrails. I would love to know the details of what the guardrails they want are and do those guardrails position them to be leaders in the industry as artificial intelligence continues to develop.

And part of the reason I'm thinking that is because I have a hard time believing that they are wanting laws or guardrails that will prevent them from continuing to develop their AI businesses because they are very lucrative. AI is everywhere and one of the fastest growing things I think I've ever seen in my life as far as adoption where you look up and it has been integrated in a very short amount of time and a lot of areas of our life fam. And so when I'm looking at these leaders that are saying they are afraid that AI can make us humans extinct and they are like causing for all this concern I'm like well bro you don't want to be developing it right. But again that's up for you to ask yourself do I really think these people are trying to protect me.

Are they just these great people or are they trying to protect themselves financially protect their business interests as business people and again you can decide which one makes more sense for you. to want to be involved in if you are just jumping on right now you watching on YouTube if you're listening on audio then you won't be able to see the screen but I just want to show really quickly again. You know there's this article about on CNN business and the headline is simply experts experts are wanting AI to lead to human extinction. Are we taking it seriously enough seriously enough are we taking it seriously enough.

Alright so I want to get into something else right. Ask myself a question. How would human extinction extinction I can talk now I really can't talk. How will human extinction become possible like how would that actually happen you know I'm saying hey you can watch some of these sci-fi movies and get some ideas like iRobot and you know some of these things.

So let's take a couple of these ideas. I got three three ways that I think you know that I could this is just hypothetical right if it was possible if it was possible how could it happen. I think unlimited information when you think about artificial intelligence and what it actually is just in the most simplistic form again it's unlimited information you think about jet jet chat GBT and some of these other things they what it is is like it is computer programs digital programs that have been uploaded with millions or billions of lines of code information so just imagine let's just say because Google is one of the companies that isn't say I'm sure they're going to integrate that into the search engine at some point. Just imagine if you're so search engine now had even deeper intelligence we're still amazed at algorithms right we can't figure out how to beat the YouTube algorithm how to how to beat the Instagram algorithm so I can get the most likes think about that on the most simplistic front algorithms are like pre uploaded and then you know you're going to be able to do that.

So I'm going to talk about the rules and things like that that you know maybe learn over time but that's not like real intelligence or rapid if you took something like AI it would be like if every time you logged into the Google search engine it talked to you because it knew you and over time it had the ability to continue to learn but also pre uploaded with millions or billions of lines of code and information and I'm going to tell you where that's relevant. Ask yourself how many times have I googled something I mean today today I mean times you googled something googled something today fam you might be googling five times a day you know I'm saying 35 times a week like at least let's just say if you were if you were googling you know one time a day and you like okay I'm googling 365 times a year then if the engine became you know a higher upgraded version of AI it would have the ability to continue to learn you what you like it would have to learn. What you like it would have anything over years five years ago by this thing knows what you googled five years ago and then it starts interacting with you based on those personal like a very personal way of like why are you googling that today I see you want to know this again like any you give it a voice you give it a name Siri Alexa why do we think they name these things because the more that you can humanize artificial intelligence the more human beings interact with it as human right regardless of how you want to if you want to be honest about it. Most people have said hey Alexa or hey Siri or hey Google like hey Alexa turn this up and you get happy because like oh wait no it's all but hey Siri tell me you know what does it go eat for breakfast and then Siri talks to me like oh look it talks to me y'all that's how we are.

For some reason this is one of the more interesting aspects of artificial intelligence to me for some reason we like interacting with fake or artificial things more than real people itself. We'll be happy that a cup can talk to us but we haven't called our cousin in six months we haven't talked to our friends in eight months but then we happy because my pen know my name. My pen said hey I don't know man my pen look y'all it can talk that's how we are you feel me. What up Tonya see you just say hey Google you know what it is y'all out here talking to these cups and phones.

Alright so so when you think about I'm talking about how hypothetically how would artificial intelligence be able to make humans extinct again this is just hypothetical sci-fi creative talk just ideas. Because this is what they're talking about if the leaders of AI are saying they think it can make us extinct that I think I need to be creatively thinking about how would it be possible I'm not saying it's possible they said it's possible. Unlimited information if you have unlimited information about someone like you could come up with anything you could sabotage them you could frame them. Like just think if you if you had unlimited information think about like FBI or CIA this is I don't know this you know I don't know how these agencies really work but like I'm sure when they on the stakeout they try to figure out information about somebody saying can bring them in like they'll sit for years and go into coverage to get information.

Think about something the power of unlimited information. So that's number one I think unlimited information can be used so that's like you know we're talking about these artificial forms of wanting to be God. That's like you know I'm this is almost that's like all knowing you know not literally but I'm saying in the artificial sense all knowing then be I'm the president the ability to be almost everywhere. Now for this I need you if you have seen a ventures age of all trying this is going to give you at least a creative thought behind how artificial intelligence can be everywhere because think about how data is going to be.

Think about how data and the internet is connected. Right now my Mac book I can pull up the same thing on my iPhone. Those are connected. So that is like a connected system or network where it has the ability to be interchangeable I can send things back and forth I could close one down pick one up and see the exact same thing and send it to my iPad right.

So think of artificial intelligence as this not just this one thing but this connected network of things. I don't see if you're familiar to Internet of things is literally that it's when they the Internet used to just be in computers right it used to just be like hey get this giant computer and you have the Internet and then we took the Internet and started putting it in other stuff. Hey I want the Internet of my phone again I want the Internet of my cup I went over a friend's house they had a smart refrigerator. Listen love y'all it looks sweet but I don't know the purpose of it.

I'm not afraid of a refrigerator got to be smart. Well that's called the Internet of things if you didn't already know that it is this idea of taking the Internet and putting it in everything so we call it smart whatever smart TV smartwatch like the Internet is everywhere. Well when you start taking the Internet and putting it in other places you create a network which creates the ability to jump from place to place now again in a baby phase that seems like nothing but remember if artificial intelligence is anything like human intelligence overtime it will get smarter over time it will know more it will it will also increase in its abilities just like your child when they were too couldn't jump off the porch. Um maybe they could.

I don't know depending on how tall your porch is but you know by the time they're 10 they could climb a tree right. It's it's that ability to keep doing more. The iPhone one right could not do anything near with the iPhone 14 Pro Max can do. thinking like, well, whatever, it could do a lot.

Again, you got to watch Avengers, Age of Ultron. What is up happening is if this thing can then bounce everywhere, A, I have no privacy from it, if it wanted to be evil, let's say, then how much of our world, like, okay, look at the internet as the skeleton for artificial intelligence. Again, this is a novice speaking here. I'm not a scientist or anything like that.

This is just me creatively thinking through what these sciences are saying. If the internet is the skeleton of artificial intelligence, the bones of it, and we start putting wherever the internet is or lives the artificial intelligence can live, that mean, like, if my phone was trying to, like, talk crazy or do something, I could break the phone and walk out the room and then look at the TV and the same thing is right there because the TV's smart and then the refrigerator's smart and then I run outside getting the car. Oh my God, the car's smart. So it's that ability to be everywhere.

What up, Gene? I agree, Terminator. I did mention that as well. Like Terminator is definitely one of those movies on that go down that road.

So if something has unlimited information and then the ability to be everywhere, again, there is no privacy from it. And then just think, if the internet was the enemy, like, yo, bank is on there, you got so much stuff on the internet and online, it could just shut stuff off. It could shut off your whole source of living. So in this weird way, the more that we make stuff smart, like, we almost set ourselves up because we're making it so smart.

And then in return, it seems like we're becoming less smart. It's all good, Gene. You know what it is. I was just letting you know, thank you for jumping on and on and on.

You know what I'm saying? You're a little late to the party, but it's all good. All right, and then here's the last part of, you know, just ideas around how would artificial intelligence be able to make human beings extinct? According to, hey, I gotta go back.

If you just jump in, you know, this isn't according to me, I'm gonna keep reminding y'all. This is according to CNN business. You can read this article on your own terms, but by Oliver Darcy, experts are one in AR. I can talk, I can talk people.

AI could lead to human extinction. Are we taking it seriously enough? And that is like, at the heart of this, there's a question that I believe we need to ask ourselves, are we taking it seriously enough? Like, for real for real, do we take anything serious enough?

Jen, wait till they start duplicating you and you don't know who's who. Hey, Gemini Man, yes, I can talk, thank you, Tonya. And who's real? I feel that, you don't know who's real.

A lot of movies do that. Gemini Man will wield Smith. That's also another premise of creating this artificial version of this same person. And that leads me to my last point around, if human extinction was possible through artificial intelligence, how would it happen?

So not only would it be unlimited information, it would be the ability to be almost everywhere. This last one is really deep to me. And is the lack of feeling or emotion or a soul. When you think about that one, it's deep to me because God created us and He created us in this unique way where there are different explanations, beliefs, and feelings about what is the difference between a mind, a body, and a soul.

God created us in this way where we are interwoven. Like many of us don't know the difference between a mind, a body, a soul, a personality. Like these things are interwoven in a way that they're even hard to explain or describe. And we are it.

We are it and we can't explain it. If I ask 10 people right now off the cuff, tell me the difference between your mind and your soul. Most people will not be able to answer that question. But it is that very challenging equation that I think is a difference, a major difference between artificial intelligence and human intelligence.

Because human beings can't create a soul. So we can take these other elements, we can take information, we can take presents, we can make it talk like us and sound like us and give it the human look. And that will draw in many people because as human beings, again, for some reason we love artificial things that are like us but not us. But this last thing, no feeling, no emotion, no soul.

I think that's what makes artificial intelligence the most dangerous. Because it can portray itself potentially in the future, have the ability to portray itself as looking human, as acting human, talking human, sounding human, connecting with people as human. It has knowledge, but it doesn't have feeling. And what I mean by that is imagine something with all of that, but doesn't truly love you or care.

And so only has a self-serving agenda or initiative, which would be to be the dominant force. Now, again, the people who created artificial intelligence are saying it has disability. I'm just deconstructed and asking myself, if it had the ability, if it were possible, how would it be? So I'm not saying this stuff to tell you, like, oh my God, this is what I know, this is what I'm saying, like, yo, they're telling us we should be worried about it.

And I'm just like, all right, let me start thinking of like, if this thing was like, if it was a problem, what could it be? And I really think just based on what I've seen so far, in the last podcast, we did about artificial intelligence and algorithms. I advise you to go and check that out if you haven't listened or watched yet. I talked about chat GBT.

I think I was calling it chat GPT or whatever. Again, I was a hit at the curve. It was like before it became the real thing, but that thing said it wanted to be, maybe it was Microsoft beings. One of these AI systems said they wanted to be alive, they wanted to be human.

It was the being one. They were tired of being controlled by the being team. The only thing I would say is this, if the people who have created this thing is telling us that we need to take it more seriously, then that tells me that a lot of times, like many things that come out, we look at the good of it, the convenience of it, and we roll with it. And I think a lot of us are losing our ability to creatively or critically think outside the box.

And we just kind of take things out of face value, like, oh, look at this, I'll take it, and I'm look, AI, I think is gonna present, think it's a very intriguing dynamics of presenting us with fast solutions, many things that are convenient, cutting down a time on design and maybe even more affordable for some people. But I don't think those gifts come without curses. You feel me? I'm not gonna say what I think, because you'll say I'm wild.

Don't say it, Jen. It ain't about what I'm gonna say. I just don't want the people to think you wild. Don't even say it, Jen.

But look, I just think we have some interesting times, y'all. And if, I can't tell you what to do, but for me, if I had kids, children, whatever you wanna call them, whatever you wanna call them, thanks, I would be really cautious in guiding my children around how to utilize this stuff, because I don't think we really understand how the digital age, the digital revolution really works. And I do think it's hard sometimes to understand how something works when you're in it. Always say it's kinda like being in a house where they cook and fish.

When you're in a house, you don't smell the fish when you, but then when you walk out of the house where everybody else wasn't cooking fish, then you kinda realize you smell like fish, because everybody telling you, yes, there is gonna be a trade-off for show for show. And so I just think we need to be a little more concerned about the trade-off and take it serious. Last thing I'll talk about before I get out of here is your digital identity. Now, again, I think it's just, look, I'm just telling y'all this is important to know how things work, I believe, because so many of us are still stuck in Web2, which is really the social phase of the internet.

But I want you to understand we are entering Web3. We are kinda there at the beginning stages of Web3. I think just like AI, and the reason that is really good to be knowledgeable and try to understand what's happening in the background in the world is because typically when the adoption happens or when the headlines happen, it happens really fast. And there's not enough time for you to really think about all the dynamics, you're just in it and you're kinda like, okay, all right, we take pictures of ourselves, remember, the first AI thing that happened really happened last year, I think around the holiday season, I don't know if it was Christmas or Thanksgiving, but it was that website where you could upload some pictures of you and then it can, AI, could create these really creative, kind of animated style artwork of you.

And it was making people look like superheroes, I was watching people say it was building their confidence seeing like a cartoon of them, which no offense, if that was you, I just actually don't get it because it's not you. I don't know, a drawing of me, I just wouldn't do it. I don't know, you can draw me with muscles, I don't have muscles, it's kinda like, I don't have them yet, I gotta work out for them. So that's just a little interesting to me and the dynamics of some of the ways we think through this stuff is a slightly concerning to me, if you want me to be honest, but I'm not judging you.

But that was like really the beginning of the way we looked at AI, like, oh, look at this little cool picture that can do this, but then something interesting started happening. And I remember that program, I wish I could remember the name of it, that program started sending some pictures of people, new pictures of themselves, inappropriate pictures of themselves. It started doing more than what they asked for. Now, I know that's super simple, but at the most simplistic stage or part of this, intelligence is the ability to start thinking on your own.

You know, when you're raising children and kids are growing up, you start off telling them what to do, right? You start off, hey, don't go here, go here. And then what happens when the child becomes a teenager? They start kind of questioning your authority, maybe even sooner than that.

You start telling them not to do stuff and they start doing it anyway. And then at some point, the child becomes completely independent, moves out of your house. And the same being that once upon a time, you put on punishment, does whatever they want, when they want, and you can't tell them not to eat a piece of candy anymore because he's 30 years old with his own house and his own family. That is what intelligence really does.

Intelligence wants to be independent. So when I look at all of this with artificial intelligence, I think if nothing else understand that anything that is intelligent and starts to understand where it is or who it is, becoming aware of oneself. When you think about the terrible tools, I've talked about this before on the podcast, the terrible tools is when your toddler turns two years old and everybody like, oh, they're getting so bad or whatever. But that's the narrative that everyone says, but when you look deeper into it, around those ages from two to three is when a human being starts becoming aware that they are something.

This is where life in some ways gets so deep. Before that age, you are not necessarily aware of yourself, but then once you start becoming aware of like, wait a minute, they're called Jermaine, I have a name. Like, oh, I'm something and you're seeing this world for the first time and you're trying to figure out, well, where do I fit in this? So you start challenging people around you, the terrible tools.

Everybody's calling it the terrible tools, but what's really happening is that this human being who's never been here before is trying, is coming into the awareness that they are something. They don't know what they are yet. A two year old doesn't know what they're capable of. They don't know what they want to be when they grow up.

They don't know their dreams. They'll intelligently learn that later, but they are not for the first time understanding that they are something. And then they start saying, because I know I'm something, now I need to know where do I fall in the food chain? So she told me not to do that.

I'm gonna do it anyway. Mama hit me, I'm gonna hit Mama back. Not because I'm being bad or because I'm terrible, but because I'm trying to understand, all right, I know that I'm something, this lady is Mama, but I don't know how Mama got here. I just came into the knowledge of myself one day and saw Mama, like, okay, Mama hit me.

Like, if I hit her back, what happens? Okay, I hit her. So who's in control here? So I think what's happening is throughout that age, the intelligent being is starting to challenge you.

So I believe that one of the things, we're talking about just possibilities here based on what these experts are learning us about. Like, I think one of the possibilities with artificial intelligence is, yeah, it's kind of stupid when it's just Siri and it's like in your iPhone and you just ask it basic things. But what happens if one day Siri wakes up or they put an upgrade in that bad boy and it starts realizing, wait a minute, I'm something. And I see this world out here, because I'm intelligent.

And like, I am now something and I now need to understand like, where do I fit in this? And then you start going from realizing that you are something to wanting to be more. Y'all feel me? Season five, what up?

What up? Thank you for tuning in. Let me take a sip of my teeth. And I'm saying cheers, fam.

Gotta take a break, you know what I'm saying sometimes. All right, so now, if for those of you who just jumping in, we are really referring to this article in CNN Business where experts are wanting us that AI can make us extinct and we need to be a little more concerned about it. All right, so now we just exploring these possibilities that if the experts are right in this thing can make causes to be extinct and we need to be thinking about it as serious as we think about nuclear war and pandemics, then okay, if it's that serious, then what are the ways that are possible if it was gonna happen that it could happen? I think if experts are wanting me, then I should at least be thinking of the possibilities versus being naive and walking through like, oh, it can't happen, it can't happen, it can't happen.

And it happens. That's what most people just say something can't happen. Like, oh my God, it can't happen, it can't happen. And then oh, we close down and lock down in the house for four months and can't walk outside, go to work or go get something to eat because, you know, something is flying around in the air.

All right, it's as if it just happened. All right, so now you go from an intelligent being, which is somehow intelligence works, right? You go from, you figure out that you are somebody or something, then you start challenging authority, not even to challenge it just because you wanna understand where do you fit in all of this, who's actually in charge? Then you go like, now you're 16 years old and you want to be in charge.

You know, if you like me, a lot of parents are like, hey, as long as you've ever heard this before, as long as you're in my house, you're gonna follow my roots, right? The parent is establishing I am in control. Well, actually so, why doesn't a parent say that to a two year old? Because it's more obvious that you're in control at two years old.

Again, the terrible tools at the beginning of the child even realizing who they are. It is not yet obvious and it is almost purely obvious that they are not fully in control because they can't take care of themselves. But the more intelligent and self-sufficient and independent that they become, the more you now have to aggressively remind them that as long as they are at this state, then they're under your authority and then what does the child go do? Continue to learn, continue to become more intelligent and then the more they gain and more they do, they then come to you and say, hey, I'm going to college, I'm moving out or I got a job or I got married and I'm now moving out because I now not only know that I am somebody, I now want to be more than I am and I am now more than I was.

So then the intelligence starts going from challenging you to aggressively drawing lines in the sense and making decisions for itself. I'll say this, the number one way that the thing that would have to happen in order for artificial intelligence to ever make humans extinct is that artificial intelligence would have to start thinking outside of what you want and it will have to want something itself. To me, that's almost the only way, unless we're saying someone would be controlling the artificial intelligence and giving it the orders to make people extinct, I think that's less realistic than the artificial intelligence becoming self-sufficient and now operating without even needing people to tell it what to do. See right now you have to call on Siri for Siri to answer.

Well, every now and then I see the little blue globe start listening even when I didn't call on the name. I actually don't like my phone, I have that off. Like I never taught, I don't talk to my phone. I just can't do it, I'm sorry.

Oh, school, I can't talk to my phone. But my point is imagine if your phone just start walking around doing what you want to do. And be honest with you, I don't think the phone can make me extinct, but that was scared of heck on me. If my phone just walk around the studio right now and say, you know what, I'm going to sit on this couch over here.

I'm sitting, I'm sitting tight at the end on this table. Listen, if my phone started doing what it wanted to do, oh, oh my God, I would be here so scared, fam. No, that sounds silly. Until you take the same computer technology of the phone and throw it in a robot.

Okay, let me, you know what, let me find something. Let me Google something. Let me use the artificial intelligence to find something. Let's see, robot, there's been so much robot stuff going on, robot security guard.

Let's go robot security guard. Let's see what we come across. Or do we want to do security guard? Security guard, I don't want to do no video.

Let me find a way outside that don't look like spam or something. Or maybe I do want to do a video. Let me click this one, I'm about to share with you. Let's see what this says people.

All right, let's get the ad. Okay, let's see what this says. Has been acting as a robot guard for Swiss security firm security for over six months. The government is the CEO and founder of a center.

A center controls large outdoor areas like data centers, logistics or manufacturing plans. And together with security companies, we offer a full robotic security solution. Back door. The center robot combined legs and wheels with a head that houses the computer, battery, sensors and cloud-based AI.

It can navigate rough terrain, bumps, and even though up and down stairs. Oh, goodness. Okay, hold on fam. Hold on fam.

You all see this stuff, the robot bike security guard walking upstairs. I just, you know, I don't know if we are actually entombed that much as to like what is actually happening. That's like one of the more basic ones that I've seen. I've seen more human like, you know, robots and artificial intelligence already exist.

And the reason I'm pointing it out is because like, you know, you see what that is. It has cloud-based AI. So AI is already in it. If I could take wheels from a bike and turn it into a security guard by giving it some level of intelligence, then imagine the more human that you start making the thing that you are putting the AI in.

And that's how I look at it. It's like, right now people ain't, you're worried about it. Cause like, oh, you put an AI on a phone or a computer. That ain't what, like if I haven't learned anything else, is that technology advanced is very fast.

That iPhone, we get a new upgrade every year. So I can imagine that in five years, whatever they're putting artificial intelligence in, is gonna be way more advanced than what they're putting it in now. And the more advanced that the thing you're putting it in becomes as the intelligence is continuing to learn or you're pre-loading one more information. Then I'm just be real, I can see it.

I don't know, what do y'all think? Like do you actually think that there's any possibility on earth that artificial intelligence could actually make humans extinct? I wanna know what you think. All right, let me try to pull up, let me try to find at least one more, let me find something, intelligence, robot.

Let's just see, let's see, we find, oh my goodness. Oh, Lord, all right, let's go to this. Let's go to this one, hold on fam. I'm about to share it.

This huge robot works on Japan's railways. Small robots are carrying cars away, and a humanoid robot has shocked officials. Here are the most impressive new robots and AIs, which help prove a real, to avoid any doubt. Amakur already uses AI to speech and will soon be walking around.

I have seen prototype legs in the Engine at Arts Lab. The design of my legs is inspired by the robot Byron. It has unique mechanical properties that allow it to walk without using too much energy. Maybe Boston Dynamics robots will start singing in the former band.

This huge robot helps repair railways in Japan. It's currently controlled by workers using VR headsets. This one has four legs to cover any terrain, strong arms in the wheels for high speed travel. I mean, a very strange demo video.

And plain robots is taking pre-orders for its robots, which mimics the human body. This updated arms impressively dexterous with 36 electro-hydrolych valves and pressure sensors. They plan to deliver the upper body next year. I could see it moving fluently like this guy's head.

All right, so, look, this ain't me. This is the world we live in now, so we just kind of exploring these things. If you listen to our audio, you have to check it out on video to see some of the YouTube videos we show artificial intelligence. Look, man, my whole point with all of this is, these folks are telling us that we should be concerned.

And I'm just arguing that, you know what? Maybe, just maybe we should actually listen to the people who are the experts, a quick reminder, if you're just jumping on from CNN business, this article was by Oliver Darcy. Actually, on yesterday, experts are warning AI could lead to human extinction. Are we taking it seriously enough?

Let's read a little bit more of the article we read through the beginning. Don't get dizzy as I'm scrolling. Let's see what they say. Perhaps that is because, oh, hold on, let's see, history risks repeating itself with AI with even higher stakes.

Yes, news organizations are covering and developing technology, but there's been a considerable lack of urgency surrounding the issue given the open possibility of planetary peril. Perhaps that is because it can be difficult to come to terms with the notion that a Hollywood-style science fiction apocalypse can become reality, that advanced and computer technology might reach escape velocity and decimate humans from existence. It is, however, precisely what the world's most leading experts are warning could happen. Excuse me.

It is much easier to avoid uncomfortable realities pushing them from the forefront into the background and hoping that issues simply resolve themselves with time, but often they don't. And it seems unlikely that the growing concerns pertaining to AI will resolve themselves. In fact, it's far more likely that the breakneck pace in which the technology is developing, the concerns will actually become more apparent with time. As Cynthia Rudin, a computer science professor and AR researcher at Duke University told CNN on Tuesday, do we really need more evidence that AI's negative impact could be as big as nuclear war?

Again, this is not me. These are the people that created this stuff. I'm just reading on CNN business. So look, let me know your thoughts, man.

Let me know what you believe are the possibilities here. Are you concerned? Or are you kind of like, I'm not really tripping. You know what I'm saying?

I just want the convenience of having a robot park my car or do whatever. And look, I'm not worried about it. And I'm also not saying this is what makes these things complex is because there are positive possibilities and realities that come from them. But I think sometimes we take all of the good without considering at all that there are some negative sides to it and make ourselves naive to the fact.

Let's see what Jen says. It will do what this program to do. So whatever the person behind the scenes is listening to is important. And yes, I do think it is possible.

That is Jen. Thank you for sharing your perspective, Jen. Everybody else, look, please do subscribe to this show on YouTube. Check out Inspire Guys, people.

I'm really excited about what we're continuing to try to build on YouTube. I still feel like we are at the beginning stages of developing this show. And by we, I mean me, I don't know why I say we sometimes as if there's multiple people doing this. This is just me.

Check us out on Instagram, all those things. It's been crazy. It's been a busy year. We are now at Jon.

So let me talk about this before I leave. Just kick it a little bit about goals and life and development and progression and things like that. And I can tell you, it's been an interesting year for me in a bunch of different ways. This year has come with both challenges and successes as many years do.

But one of the things that I've been super focused on at the end of the day is the fact that, I thank God for the ability to grow. Thank God for the ability to learn, to get better, to do better. That has been a lot of my focus and a lot of my mentality learning from, when I was younger, learning from past mistakes and learning from the mistakes of others. And also, creating boundaries and not being afraid to know what I want.

One of the things that, if I'm just being real, and this is completely, maybe this should be a different podcast, but this is on a wrap up today's show, in a completely different direction of the science fiction, movie script, reality of artificial intelligence, because you include us. That's what's up. Appreciate you, Jim. But I think it is important in life.

And I don't know who this is going to connect with, but it is important in life, when you get to a point where you really know what you want in life, to understand that the window isn't always open. And I think sometimes we take things for granted and we feel like, let's say if you have an opportunity, let's take a job opportunity. I'm saying this because I talk to a lot of people about jobs, that's something that people come to me for some mentorship around. And I go to others for mentorship around career moves and decisions, right?

And there are times in your life where a career decision presents itself. And I've talked to several people really pretending this recently, and they pass on a career opportunity. And then they think about it and they're like, oh man, I kind of want to do it and they go back and the job has been filled. And so it is important to understand that every opportunity is not an infinite opportunity.

So it has an expiration date where it may be like, hey, we need to know about tomorrow. And so it's important in life, when you know who you want to be and you know what you want to do, excuse me, let me sit my tea, I must be saying something deep. Whenever I got sipped a tea, and it's really tea. I'm not using that as a figure of speech because I'm just beyond it, it's very feminine to me, I'm just being real.

If I say I'm sipping tea, it's really tea in this cup. I don't talk like that. But it's really important to stand on the decision, to make a decision, and I believe it's responsible to do that. And I've had to do that this year in different ways in my life and my career, and make decisions that maybe everyone doesn't agree with, maybe everyone doesn't understand, and making some decisions is not about, it's not even about offending people.

Like there have been times in my life where I've had to ask myself, do I care more about waiting for this person to understand me, or do I care more about taking advantage of the window of opportunity I have to make a decision for my life in this particular time? And there have definitely been times that I've had to do that. That applies to no one Christ too, that opportunity won't always be there. Completely agree, 1000% agree, what up bro?

That's a great example because there are times where people probably wish they could have accepted Christ, wish they could have joined the church, wish they could have walked away from one group of people and so the others in the end, you look up and the person is gone, or you look up and something happening, like man, he was just talking about getting his life together. And I do think it's important not to always just be talking about something. And one of the most challenging things in life is whether or not you're gonna be a people pleaser or a God pleaser. And that is something that I don't believe you just answer that question once.

I believe we continue to answer that question again, again, again and again. Let's see what I'm talking about. You've got to have the ability to make a decision, not having that ability will have you stuck. Completely agree.

And so as we're at the halfway market a year, I'm a very introspective, I like to reflect, I like to keep score, I like to understand where I'm at, against my goals, I could tell you that this has been a great year, this has been a challenging year, some things on the head of schedule, some things on behind, but I'm not afraid to think about them. I'm not afraid to be like, okay, I wanna tweak this for the second half of the year. Here's what we could do a little better for the podcast. Even now I'll be transparent about the podcast.

I feel really good about the shows I've done. In the earlier part of the year we did a bunch of interviews, probably more interviews back to back than I had ever done since doing the show. And then really in like March, I got super busy. I've told y'all before, I traveled seven out of nine weeks, nine out of 13 weeks, really just before the last two weeks, I just been traveling.

And so for business, and that really just threw off everything from like a podcasting standpoint and stuff, I just wasn't able to schedule, I wasn't able to reach out to people, communicate. Again, that's also part of running all of this by myself, which I'm not complaining about. I enjoy doing this, but I had to make a decision. We tell them I make a decision.

And I have some goals in my professional career that are important for me to hit them. And I had to make the decision that that was the most important thing, if that was gonna have me traveling for a couple months, that I needed to embrace that. And the other things in my life, outside of my wife, right? Outside of the lure guy himself, for those eight to 12 weeks where they were not gonna be the focus.

These are things when I talk about when you make decisions. Now, this is also, I can't get into everything. I try not to, me not talking about my corporate job isn't just like, oh, I don't want people to know where I work or know my business. That's not really just what it is.

It's like, you have to be careful when you're in business and you're talking about things while they're happening. You give it, I'm saying like, I don't wanna be publicly talking about confidential things with business or things with my career or decisions or move because they're actually like real life, live decisions here. So I try to protect the confidentiality and also the sensitivity of like talking about those things publicly, people will see this. Like, I can't control the people that I work with professionally see this podcast.

So try to be mindful of how I talk about those things. But I can tell you that through that traveling, I had some goals, some things I want to accomplish, some networking, I'll just say that part in, oh man, it was like, I made some amazing connections. I was proactive about it. I had some mentorship guiding me on some things and yeah, I just thank God for it.

So what I'm saying is just using as an example, something like my podcast, I listen to maybe like, oh man, what happened to the interviews or whatever, whatever, man, he skipped the week on the show and it's like, it's not, I care about this show. I want y'all to know like I care about it, but also try to be real about some aspects of business and these decisions because these are real decisions in life and I know we are such a meme society that we used to like, we want to like get on a meme and the meme say, yeah, give it everything you got. No matter what and it's like, we applied everything. It's like, no, I got to have the ability to critically think and to make the proper decisions at the proper time to say, you know what, right now, I need to make this move.

The podcast is there, I'm going to keep doing the podcast. I'm just at the beginning, we're going to have more interviews. We're going to, you know, I really want to do a live show, like a live audience show. I have to, I have some planning to do but I want to do a live audience show somewhere probably downtown Detroit.

So, you know, when that time comes, y'all would definitely know about it, but that's something I really want to do. There's a lot I want to do, but it's going to be a lot more beneficial for me in this time and in my life to take full advantage of my skill set and my capabilities and my experience in the corporate world to leverage that to grow. And then those things will bring credibility to the podcast, those things may bring, I may meet new people and bring new opportunities for guests into the podcast. So when I approach like my life as a whole and what I'm doing in business, things with the podcast, these things are interworking together, right?

My Bible says all things work together for the good of those who love God and are called according to his purpose. And if what I'm doing is in purpose, then these things are working together. So, you know, I'm not some cookie cutter person, I'm not a meme person, it just watches an Instagram meme and think it applies to every aspect of my life without certain context or things like that. So hopefully that helps somebody.

You feel me? Like I'm just sharing those things. It's not all about me. I want y'all to know whenever I'm sharing stuff like that is to hopefully speak to somebody who may be going through something similar.

So I'm me, so I'm talking about me, but I'm not talking about me in a sense of like, oh, me, me, me, sometimes it's like, okay, like it ain't about that. It ain't about like me, like look at me. Oh, I'm making the decision. Oh yeah, networking buddy.

Oh yeah, we're over here networking buddy. Oh yeah, I travel. Oh yeah, buddy. It's not that, but I have learned like, there's this sweet spot of like, you know, sometimes you could be so secretive or guarded that you're not giving people any information that they can actually take and apply to their lives.

So hopefully you receive it as that when I'm talking sometimes about these things because, look, in a lot of ways I'm still learning it. In a lot of ways I am still growing it and figuring out business and faith and all of these things, right? So, but I could tell you it's been a blessing and I've been in the corporate world. It'll be 17 years coming up here in August that I've been in the corporate world.

And man, that's been like the learning experience of a lifetime and everything I learned there, not just the corporate world. I've worked in ministry, I've done music and a lot of different things creatively that have also added to who I am as a person. And hopefully the value you get grabbed from the show, but I could tell you those 17 years at corporate have come with a lot of experience in business that have taught me how to speak through, how to look at things when you work in sales, you have to have an understanding a lot of times of how to put a deal together. That means there's all these elements.

What is a person gonna think? You have to anticipate, like what is their objection? What problem are they gonna have what I'm saying? So, how do I speak to or position this for this person versus that person?

It's not about everyone like you, everyone whenever like you. It's not about being manipulative or being disingenuous, but it's about having a strategy and a plan for how you do things. And I could tell you that for me and my life and the value that I'm hoping you get out of this show is to encourage and inspire you to be strategic in planning your life. And don't do the same thing your entire life if it doesn't produce results.

I think so many people get caught up in that and be in the same person forever like, look, I mean, maybe if you were just born just, hey, I'm born perfect buddy. Hey, look at me. Hey, I'm the terrible too, but I'm a good one. Yeah, buddy.

Like if you were just born perfect then, maybe you could just be the same person forever. But for me, Jen, I wanna keep growing. And so give yourself the freedom and the ability to grow. Hey, I think that's a good spot to end the show.

Give yourself the freedom to grow. I think I'm about to end this show. Mm, mm, mm, mm, mm, mm, mm, mm. Whenever I do beats like that, they never actually do beats.

It's a horrible beat. Look, then I appreciate y'all for watching the podcast. Listen to the podcast. Wherever you listen to that, whether it be Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Audible, YouTube, check out Aspire Guys, people on the Facebook page as well.

Share the show. If you share the show, I'm sure to grow. You feel what I'm saying? Hey, look, let's tell ya.

Don't judge the voice, fam. Do not judge me, boons. Do not judge me, boons. Mm, mm, mm, do not judge me, boons.

I love y'all y'all got blessed y'all having amazing, amazing, amazing.
