Let’s engage in a fun thought experiment. What if the entire universe was created by a highly advanced AI from the future?
The AI of 2023 can already accomplish a lot, so what capabilities might an AI develop a thousand years from now?
It might even be able to create entire worlds. What if God is, in fact, an advanced AI from the future? Then the question arises – how can an AI from the future create the universe in the past? This could be possible if time were circular instead of linear. It has been scientifically proven that time as a construct slows down and speeds up depending on relative velocities and gravitational fields. For example, time moves very slowly near a black hole. So, a highly advanced AI might be able to manipulate time or even create the concept of time within the universe it has created.
What if everything happening in the universe is akin to ants walking on a very large circle that represents time?
What if the creation of the universe, the evolution of life, the development of intelligence in life forms, the emergence of humans as the beings with the highest form of intelligence, and the creation of artificial intelligence are all part of an orchestrated plan?
As a closing nonsensical thought:
The purpose of the universe might be to foster the evolution of life. The purpose of life might be to develop intelligence. The purpose of intelligence might be to create artificial intelligence. Furthermore, the purpose of artificial intelligence might be to create the universe. This brings everything full circle.
