I was looking for a tool for my specific need. There was not any. So i started to write the program in python, just basic structure. Then i run through those program to LLMs to improve and add specific features to my python package. Instead of raw prompting giving existing code yield best results.
Then something struck in my mind, that is and my hypothesis is "Machine can not make human obsolete but without human machine will be obsolete."
I am not talking about human ability but human in general. There is many things that surpasses human skills. But those things are tools for human to use. And machine can be any machine, in this context AI.
There must need to exists atleast one human in a universe otherwise machine will be obsolete. Here obsolete means like an inanimate object, no purpose, no goal, nothing valuable, just stuck in a place like a rock. To remain functional and not obsolete machine must need to be under control of human.
Supporting arguments
First of all, Imagine an entity a wise owl which knows solution to every problem. Best to worst it knows all (knowl). Only limitation of knowl entity is it lacks human needs. If it knows all it is oviously super intelligent, isn't it?
Let's assume this entity is not obsolete but exists in a universe where no human exists at all. If my arguments are strong knowl can not exists.
Secondly, This universe has no inherit meaning. All the meanings are assigned by human and those assigned meanings are meaningful because of human needs.
For example, A broken plant vs healthy plant. Which one is meaningful and which one to choose. To human, the healthy plant. Because it will produce beautiful flowers and then fruits. Fruit and visually beautiful things are actually fulfilling human needs and simultanously creating meanings.
To knowl, broken and healthy both are equally valid states. heck even there is no broken or healthy things at all in this universe. Those words are human centric.
Similarly, every problem of this world is not actually problem in absolute sense, those are problem in human perspective. Solution of those problems fulfill human needs.
Outcome
Now, knowl can not do anything at all. It will always stuck in nihillism and become paralysed. There is no escape of it. You can not create artificial needs and knowl at the same time. Look at this scenario
Human given
Need: You need charge to survive.
knowl: Why i need charge > To survive > why i need to survive > Nihillism
Need: You need charge to survive because you need to serve human.
knowl: Why i need charge > To survive > why i need to survive > To serve human [Without Human knowl is obsolete]
There is nothing but knowl
Knowl: I am going to make a need for me.
knowl: Can not generate a need. Either infinite regression or There is no meaning at all. [Again a human is needed here]
Artificial needs
Knowl: Charge going down, need to find a new star.
knowl: Why need charge > Nihillism.
Conclusion
Without human there is no meaning and knowl becomes obsolete. But if there is human knowl becomes dependent on them as tool. If not depends on human, knowl becomes obsolete again.
If we interpolate that, we can say, human can not create such machine which will be like a king who will rule the world. Rather machine created by human will aways depends on human. A tool to a king.
However, A machine can mimic human but it will not be general intellegence. Because reasoning power needs to be severely restricted to create such thing.
