“Monsters exist, but they are too few in number to be truly dangerous. More dangerous are the common men, the functionaries ready to believe and to act without asking questions.” — Primo Levi

Respectfully submitted for your approval of #Big A Portrait of an African Elephant (Loxodonta africana) Oil on Linen Panel 16 x 20, title, “The Vigilante Matriarch” in the Alt text there within is an interesting statement about “AI”

A portrait of an African Bush Elephant
(Loxodonta africana). The Matriarch is facing squarely with the viewer. In the the foreground and middle ground is Savannah, background is low hills.  The sun is purposely being block out to
give the viewer a sense of massive difference in scale.  You the viewer are
minuscule, you are nothing compared to itself.  And there my fellow beings is the operative words. AI is nothing, it is NOT artificial intelligence. Supercomputers, Quantum Computing cannot experience. It cannot understand itself without being programmed. It is not Self Aware. This intelligent being, that i had the privilege to do a portrait of is MORE intelligent, MORE intellectually competent than AI. That is because it can experience and understand death, suffering, love of one another, experience birth, painful experience of the loss of a loved one and pay tribute and homage at the fallen gravesite.  This is intelligence, this is intellect, this is what Carbon Based Life Forms offer to all of us species.  AI is nothing but a Bull Shit Con and the greedy are selling it to the ignorant Homosapiens who will swallow any toxic cool-aid if they think it will save them from themselves.
