I haven't had an LLM spout out such wisdom yet.

Perhaps we need a better prototype for a much larger system...

Right now we use AI as an accelerant to expand our abilities across domains similar but different enough to be interesting. Gaining Knowledge is a side effect of all of us knocking out every rainy day project we kicked around for years.

It was all fun and games until I created a personal psychotherapist and realized that I don’t have a fear of AI because I know how it works. There is an uncharted landscape of horrifying growth when we leave our safe space and take these tools somewhere else entirely.

Did you ask it for wisdom? I once asked it for 20 quotes that (RIP Terry Pratchett) sound very meaningfull without meaning very much. ChatGPT obliged with 20 pieces of deep-sounding total nonsense.

The Morpheus' quoted text is also nonsense. It was hardly the judgement that kept individuals together and led to civilization building. This kind of logic may seem plausible only to an individual of nowadays' condition, to whom the covered basic needs faded out of attention. The basic needs (with the need for security at the center of them all) was sufficient reason for group cohesion, time and time again.

In the times about which you speak, Judgement was central to encouraging good behavior and behavior that prioritized the survival of the group over the individual, as well as discouraging the opposite through shame and punishment. Groups and civilizations fall apart without it.

Maybe their creators have more to learn than their creations...
