Friday Night Open Thread: A.I.

A pretty good quote about A.I.:

It has no loves. It does not know courage, shame, mercy, sin, or worship. It can regurgitate “writing” about these things, but it cannot live them. It can compose a prayer without praying and a sermon without fear of God. It can say “I understand,” but, in truth, there is no “I” and no understanding.

— Chronicles | 6/26/26 | Benjamin Osborne, “What Would C.S. Lewis Have Thought of AI?”

 

Come to think of it, kind of reminiscent of a similar scene in Good Will Hunting.  Or Terminator.  So maybe A.I. is a sort of a blend of the two.  (With a little Eyes Wide Shut thrown in for good measure.)
