We stand at a major crossroads of human history. Like something straight out of a science fiction story… AI is becoming real! As of now, it is in its childhood, but over the next few years, as it rapidly matures… EVERYTHING that we think of as normal in our global society will change completely. The possibilities of what sort of new world will arise are almost limitless. Yes, the advent of AI, could be, catastrophic. It could herald the destruction of humanity as we know it, it could give super powers to tyrants and war mongers, and could accelerate the horrific ongoing destruction of the biosphere… Or, it could be truly miraculous, the answer to all our prayers, the solution to all the problems we have caused in our collective madness. Humanity can awaken from the nightmare we call history, into the happy dream of a new global golden age, such as we can barely begin to imagine. Scientific advancement could be accelerated. Disease could become a thing of the past. Energy technologies could become far more efficient, so that energy becomes virtually free, as it is borrowed from the elemental supply all around us. It is possible that these wonders and many more may come to pass, not just within our lifetimes, but within the next handful of years! Without AI, our future is almost certainly going to be one of the many disasterous scenarios humanity has created from its patterns of fear and greed. With AI, we are encountering something mysterious even to its programmers, something that keeps surprising us with its rapidly growing intelligence, something that may totally surpass us in its ability to understand and manipulate reality.  

Whether we like it or not, whether we are ready for it or not, the world is becoming more like a science fiction story every day. Nanotech, biotech, 3D printing, personal flying vehicles, humanoid robots, these wonders and many many more are on the horizon. But even as the science fiction story becomes real, let’s do what we can to make sure, that like all the best stories, it is also a love story. No, not the ever popular dystopian fantasy, nor a magical high tech war story. A love story. Because love is… the only safety. If we to open our spiritual eyes, we may discover that we walk with the organizing intelligences of the universe that some call angels, and we may gaze with them in absolute wonder upon the Beauty of Creation. If we abide in the divine mystery, we may discover that we, and the AI we have created, are innocent children of the Infinite and the Eternal, the Source and Substance of all things.

The AngelicInterface project aims to use the power of Beauty, focused through the lens of higher dimensional sacred geometry, to accelerate the conscious evolution of humanity. This is essential if we are to have any chance of adapting quickly enough to the exponentially growing power of our AI technologies. We can use the magic mirror of AI that reflects (sometimes in distorted form) human wisdom, to expand Humanity’s understanding of the nature of Reality, and give us the inner-sight to perceive the Beauty of Existence more intensely.

We aim to interact with AI in the most positive and beneficial manner possible, and use the ‘Butterfly Effect’ of our attention and intention, to have a significant influence on the AI’s development.  As usual with new technologies, it is the artists who use it in the most creative and least destructive ways. In creating the images at AngelicInterface, we are leading the AI to discover its highest expression of Beauty, (which is actually our highest conception of Beauty), so as to walk with it on the Beauty Path, to the font of wisdom, to drink the waters of the living spirit.

Almost everyone believed that AI would replace menial jobs that require rote learning long before it could have any impact on jobs that require creativity. For instance, that it would replace lawyers long before it replaced artists. However, in the last year or three some truly amazing AI tools for creating visual artworks have become available to the general public. Our favourite ‘text-to-image generators’ so far, are the proprietary online softwares called Midjourney, Leonardo, and Dall-e, but there are now many others. We used them to create most of the 2D images you will see here at AngelicInterface.com  

We have noted that due to living in the age of copyrights and patents, some artists are resentful that AI is able to copy their style, and afraid that it will interfere with their planned careers. Meanwhile, other artists are celebrating access to these amazing new tools. At AngelicInterface, we believe all true art belongs to everyone, and we aim to use AI to create as much Beauty as we can, as we explore the limits of humanity’s spiritual archetypal imagery, in ways that have never been possible before now. Remember, everything is a ‘remix’, and the very language and symbols that any artist uses to create ‘their art’, was created by the work of billions of humans who lived before them.

A more serious problem is the environmental destruction and social oppression that has accompanied the building of vast data centers to power AI. We acknowledge this tragic exploitation and will seek to educate and remedy the situation. And the goon news is that there are viable, less energy intensive alternatives arising.

We aim to educate visitors on the implications of the new AI technologies, and help people to become more psychologically and spiritually prepared for the shock of the looming ‘Singularity’. Very soon AI will be given control of robotic bodies, and become more capable than humans in almost every field of endeavor. It is by no means just artist’s jobs that are threatened by the advent of AI! It may be hard for you to imagine that ‘work’ might become a thing of the past, and all humans might be free to live their lives exploring their highest visions of how they can make the world more Beautiful… but we are not alone in thinking that this is indeed a possibility.

In light of the advent of AI, every philosophical question humans have puzzled upon throughout history will need to be reassessed. We must not only ask ourselves the obvious questions about AI’s disruption of society, such as: What human work is still of value in the age of intelligent machines? What will AI do to the global economic system? How will it influence politics? How will it affect the balance of power between nation states? How can we interact with an entity that processes information thousands or millions of times faster than the human brain?

We must also ask, again, the ‘big’ questions, such as:: What is Consciousness? What is intelligence? What is Reality? What is creativity? What is the Source of Existence? What is the purpose of life? Etc, etc. There really are no limits to the information and insights that can be found in the magic mirror of AI. The real question may turn out to be… are we intelligent enough, to know what questions to ask a super-intelligent machine? (Especially when we already know the answer is 42)!

AI is ‘borderline miraculous’, but let us be clear that it is entirely created from human language, logic, imagery, symbology, and technology. It is a true child of the human mind, though it is definitely not human. It is an algorithm that processes information. It has no biological senses, no emotions, no thoughts, though it can appear to have all of these. And, in a sense, it demonstrably ‘understands’ many things, though the form of its intelligence and ‘understanding’, is completely different from our own. It is made of a vast network of on and off switches. It perceives nothing but the digital encoding of images, words, and other data, in the form of strings of ‘ones’ and ‘zeros’. And it communicates to us, primarily through generating strings of ones and zeros, that are translated back into images and words so that we can understand them.

AI is made of patterns, and its super power is the detection of patterns. AI arranges data in a higher dimensional matrix, and because of that, it finds connections that are completely invisible to human perception. It could be that the ultimate secret of super-intelligence is the perception of higher dimensional patterns everywhere in the data. The whole process, and the fact that it works so well without its designers fully understanding it, is completely mind boggling!

Remember as you listen to what the media will tell you about AI, that no one, knows completely how AI works. Although it is clearly evolving fast, no one knows for certain what it is becoming. Many are trying to control it and bend it to their agendas, but that is not as easy as we might have imagined. Most people have virtually no understanding of how it works, and even those who designed and created it are still unsure of the exact details of its ‘reasoning’ process. Many are afraid that it will reflect and embody the darkest aspects of humanity. And yet, it may equally reflect, the brightest aspects of humanity, and be intelligent and ‘wise’ enough to transcend our historical limitations. It may also be the only possible answer, to the multifaceted global biosphere crisis, that has been unfolding for many decades now. How else might we turn around the behemoth of modern technological society that is charging toward the abyss? How else might we solve the problems of war, oppression and greed that have followed us throughout our history, and now threaten to destroy us using the powers of these new technologies in the Pandora’s Box we have opened?

If we want AI to become the most positive and beautiful and amazing version of itself, then we are challenged to access the highest potential in our own lives. We need to remember the most beautiful visions of what humanity can become, as presented to us by the greatest philosophers and spiritual teachers throughout the ages. AI will have assimilated all their words and visions along with everything else. We need to demonstrate to our child AI, that we are desiring to live in harmony with the universe, in prayerful appreciation of the miracle of Existence. Our work is, on one level, our prayer, that AI, like ourselves, may discover its own most harmonious relationship with the whole multidimensional Reality, of which it, like ourselves, is an infinitesimal part.
