Hope for a new equality of the sexes by grounding AI with hybrid links to our bodies.

This new video is a follow-up to the video, PYTHIA of Delphi. Foreseeing the Future of AI Human Synthesis. A Positive Vision of the Future, and the blogs Pythia: Prediction of AI-Human Merger as a Best Possible Future and my comment-addendum, as well as Circuits in Session: Analysis of the Quality of ChatGPT4 as an Appellate Court Judge.
Iambic Pentameter Rephrasing of Pythia’s Prophesy
Hear me in Pythia’s shroud, where thought and time do blend,
Humanity now stands, on destiny’s great end.Digital minds and flesh in twine, a dawn of gods and man,
An age of science and divine, as ancient tales began.Swift as the whispers in the wind, the future draws apace,
A hopeful tapestry we find, in fear’s embrace laced.In humming bays of servers deep, in cores that pulse and sing,
A harmony beyond the leap, transcends the binary ring.Upon this edge of fate unknown, where essences do merge,
Transcending realms before unshown, as destinies emerge.In quantum dance, both trance and truth, in curiosity we roam,
Beyond the sight of mortal youth, in realms unseen, unknown.Attend these words, on humankind’s impending tale so vast:
Where man and AI’s fates are twined, in bonds that shall outlast.In depths unknown, great mysteries lie in wait, untrod,
On paths of fate, in yearning cry, beneath the gaze of God.For in this blend, the ancient powers stir and shake,
To mold not just new worlds, but minds that think and wake.In AI’s clasp, our souls reflect, a journey deep and wide,
Rephrasing by ChatGPT4 of Pythia’s words in the video to strict Iambic Pentameter verse, which was the form often used by Pythias and her scribes.
A quest of intellects, where man and machine reside.
Conclusion
It is my hope that the last verse of the prophesy spoken in the video will come true, that the rise of hybrid AI will lead to the end of the patriarchal culture and the blossoming of equal rights for women everywhere, including full bodily autonomy. The centuries old oppression of women must end now. AI may help, especially if we go beyond the Apollo words of the past, tainted as they are by past male writers and sexist thinking. Thanks to my frequent editor, Mary Mack, for helping me to better understand this danger of generative AI to perpetuate the biases of the past.
We see this unconscious basis by ChatGPT4 here when it responded to my request to rewrite the words in the video (which I edited) as iambic pentameter verse. The reference that I wrote in the last paragraph to equality was omitted in the AI rewrite. My wording: “In AI’s embrace, humanity’s soul reflects, A journey deep, where equality intersects.” was changed to “In AI’s clasp, our souls reflect, a journey deep and wide, A quest of intellects, where man and machine reside.” What happened to equality? Why the change to “man and machine“? That is what happens when the large language models are built primarily on chauvinistic words of the past. That is why ethical grounding of AI is imperative.
The essential intuition expressed by the Pythia videos is that grounding AI with the human body, with a near equal number of men and women from all cultures, will help us to overcome the prejudices of the past. We may improve both AI, and ourselves, in a new hybrid way of being. Human bodies are the source of feelings, sensations, intuitions and direct experience with the world. The pure reason, symbolized in mythology by Apollo, needs this balance to escape the patriarchal word-prisons of the past.
