We are still only talking about increasingly sophisticated voice programs - that is, text robots like ChatGPT or Amazon's "Alexa" - and image generators like Image Creator, Midjourney or Leonardo. But as development is exponential in the digital age, AI will become more and more powerful in the near future, will perform more and more tasks previously reserved for human intelligence and will come even closer to us , in the literal sense of the term. Amazon's voice assistant, Alexa, and a host of "smart" home appliances tell us which way to go. We surround ourselves with an increasingly dense cocoon of digital data vampires who do nothing less than take over our identity.

We must not forget that all this has nothing to do with "intelligence", that is, the understanding of complex relationships. In reality, these are just complex computational processes (algorithms) that are based on the probability with which, for example, a given word is followed by another in the text stream, or with which certain structural elements are associated with each other in the structure of graphics or images. The AI ​​"learns" these mathematical probabilities as it optimizes, to finally provide, after an infinite number of hours of work, results which must come as close as possible to the operations of the human brain. i.e. thought. We can expect drastic performance improvements in this area in the future.

Another important aspect, which is easily lost sight of, is that all small "bots", whether text, dialogue or graphics programs, are part of the transhumanist agenda. Ultimately, it's about making the human brain "readable" for computers and being able to transfer data in both directions - from the brain to the computer (or storage media), but also from the computer to the brain, for example by means of an implanted chip. Image and text files calculated at great expense could one day become the decisive intermediate support. The final goal is - in addition to the possibility of total control of humanity - the possibility of memorizing human consciousness, in order to make it independent of its physical existence and ultimately immortal. Hollywood has been talking about it for many years, and speakers such as Israeli journalist Yuval Harari ("Homo Deus", 2017), who is also a valued guest at Klaus Schwab's World Economic Forum, are making unequivocal statements about it.

One of the most prominent researchers in the search for “human-machine interface” is Elon Musk. Since 2017, he has already been studying, under the aegis of a company specially created for this purpose, Neuralink, the possibilities of connecting the human brain to computers. It is a “direct interface with the cerebral cortex”. In 2020, in the middle of the Corona year, Musk presented the prototype of his brain chip to the public: eight millimeters thick, 23 millimeters in diameter.
