Ancient Culture # 6: AI's Capabilities at Discovering Origins of Ancient Cultures
As someone who holds a degree in English, words are important to me, and they should. All the old boomer and gen exer’s are getting gray stubbly beards, and I think it’s time the millennials and Z generation become the next new wave of thinkers and creators. But to think requires more than just a one minute version of tik-tok video where we can’t explain ourselves beyond a minute. So, with AI making rapid advancements well beyond the origins of the 80’s, can we really be sure if AI is up to the task of figuring out who is the original writer of a piece of work?
If that’s true, then we should be able to find out who Homer, original writer of the Iliad and the Odyssey, is. But then, AI can only do but so much. If the world of language is meant to be described words and the clarity of there objectivity, myth is meant to allude to the greater heightening momentum and words that can help identify a common ground and who is the original author and what they mean by it.
What the decision has to come to is that will AI be the ultimate factor in how ancient texts are solved. I don’t have much faith in AI deciding who wrote what. Maybe AI will evolve so much that it will take the credit for itself.
It would be too easy to rely on AI to discover what curve strokes can tell who and when the text was written by. In Myth, it’s usually spread through the oral tradition and not the same when a text should be left alone. But we all want to know who wrote ancient texts, because we have a curiosity about things we don’t know.
To not be curious about the world before man became sentient and putting words into mass print, is what I live for. But should myth and the bible be left alone in order to retain a certain mystery? Yes, and no. But should AI be the one to figure it out for us? I don’t think so either.
AI, as I previously said in Ancient Culture # 5, can be wrong too. It just depends what software and programming it will have. Then the AI must be scrutinized too, just so that it can be thorough enough to check the validity of the author it is discovering.
