"I fear the day that technology will surpass our human interaction. The 
world will have a generation of idiots!" -- Albert Einstein (apocryphal)
"This artificial intelligence is truly artificial because it is not a 
thinking being. It lacks the human intellectual capacity to adapt to a 
situation or to choose a course of action based on circumstances. Such 
tasks require a minimum level of intelligence that it simply does not 
possess.
There is a sort of contradiction between these two concepts, which are 
paired together to manipulate minds.
According to the dictionary, 'intelligence' means: the faculty of 
understanding, of discovering relationships (of causality, of identity) 
between facts and things; the aptitude of the mind (or brain) to grasp 
concepts easily and to act with discernment. Yet this artificial 
intelligence-as far as I know-has no brain!

Also according to the dictionary, 'artificial' means: that which is the 
product of human activity (as opposed to natural; or, alternatively, 
something characterized by artifice or cunning).

This intelligence is indeed artificial because it depends on 'HUMANS.'"

Voracious and eternally insatiable predators

It is clear that the development of this tool-this robot known as 
artificial intelligence-is controlled by corporate bosses and heads of 
state.

Clearly, these robots are sources of total and absolute profit. They 
generate monstrous dividends for shareholders-some of whom become 
billionaires-who are the planet's leading polluters and destroyers.

To slake their thirst for domination and cash, they do not hesitate to 
flood us with nonsense and poison our minds. That is how they present 
their robots to us as the solution to the world's problems (climate 
change, hunger, war, unemployment, poverty...).

Their artificial intelligence is, in fact, nothing but an illusion! One 
need only use one's brain to realize that they are dumbing us down by 
pulling the wool over our eyes.

Has AI stopped the war in Ukraine or put an end to the genocide in the 
Gaza Strip? No! Quite the contrary: AI has fostered even more 
sophisticated techniques for destroying cities and killing people remotely.

Have AI and its applications in the workplace led to better working 
conditions, the end of unemployment, and improved living standards?

No! Quite the opposite, since industrial production will increasingly be 
carried out by robots rather than humans.

Will AI enable us to achieve true independence and autonomy in our life 
choices?

No! It will turn *us* into robots! We will be totally dependent on 
private and state powers and under constant surveillance in our social, 
private, and intimate lives.

Is AI a sign of social progress-a way to break with the destructive 
expansion of capitalism and move toward a society and a future defined 
by justice, equality, and human flourishing?

No! Admittedly, we stand at the dawn of a civilizational and 
anthropological shift accompanying a form of capitalism that must 
reinvent itself or risk losing its influence. This process is already 
underway as captains of industry seize control of the media and of 
political and social power. They are leading us surely and inexorably 
toward an authoritarian, totalitarian, and proto-fascist society. 
"Through two fascist points passes one-and only one-far-right movement." 
- Jean Yanne

In the current economic and political context, AI keeps us under the 
yoke of capitalism and strips us of our agency.

Anarchist Intelligence

Yet, we cannot ignore the existence of AI. In the anarchist society of 
tomorrow, we must not leave it in the hands of manipulators. We 
anarchists must therefore put AI-"Anarchist Intelligence"-to work by 
federating the various components and bodies of society. And regarding 
AI, we must ensure it is managed by competent individuals who will use 
it for the benefit of all.

A God-obsessed man

When Google spawns monsters...

In September 2017, *Wired* magazine reported that a former Google 
engineer, Antony Levandowski, had created a religious organization 
called "Way of the Future" to "develop and promote the realization of a 
Godhead based on artificial intelligence."

We learn that, as a former member of the Catholic Church, his goal is to 
create "an artificial God with Christian morals."

The US government recognized this cult, and governments around the world 
rushed to embrace it!

Times are changing

The Industrial Revolution, the modernization of production methods, and 
technological advancements made it possible to boost productivity and 
profits, destroy the environment, and keep workers in a state of 
modern-day slavery.

Artificial intelligence has neither heart nor conscience, yet it is a 
faithful reflection of those who program it.

"Industrial civilization, by destroying natural beauty-or by burying 
vast stretches of it under industrial waste-creates and fosters 
artificial needs."

Albert Camus - *Notebooks III*, March 1951

That revolution, however, did not give rise to a cult bordering on worship.

It seems the masters of AI have a more ambitious plan: to turn AI into a 
kind of superior intelligence-one that surpasses humanity. A sort of 
pagan god before which we are expected to prostrate ourselves.

They would have us forget:

- that what distinguishes us from computers, tablets, and smartphones is 
our consciousness and our brains-attributes that AI lacks;

- that behind every computer and piece of software lie 
workers-engineers, developers, designers, researchers, and operators. 
Without the men and women tasked with feeding data to these robots, the 
machines would be useless.

Should we really bow down before this new mythology?

How can such an intellectual deception invade our minds and render 
individuals servile in the name of progress-a degrading form of progress?

No! For to place blind faith in artificial intelligence is to deny human 
intelligence; it is to be stupid and to betray one's own humanity.

"Artificial intelligence is potentially more dangerous than nuclear 
weapons."» Elon Musk

What cynicism and contempt, coming from a man who constantly invests in 
disinformation! Did he not create Grok-a generative AI integrated into 
the social network X (formerly Twitter)-which is used by hundreds of 
thousands of internet users worldwide?

The billionaire has also just launched Grokipedia, intended to rival 
Wikipedia. Nothing escapes his reach. He invests in the realms of 
information, learning, and knowledge-only to distort them and bend them 
to his will!

In the face of the dominant ideology, it is imperative that we throw a 
wrench into the gears of this brainwashing machine to halt its advance 
and counter disinformation.»
