Marko Pajevic, AI, and The Mind Without Living Form

I am baffled by the fact that there are those who believe AI could somehow be the equal of human intelligence. My objection is this: human intelligence clearly has an organic component, which makes it rooted in, and part of, time.

Marko Pajevic, in his book Poetic Thinking. Now, says something similar (by way of Nietzsche):


“Nietzsche’s Zarathustra speaks of the great reason of the body, which he contrasts with the small reason of the mind. In fact, the mind must be placed in the context of the greater reason of the body, in the sense that everything is rooted in living form and in the making of forms. The juxtaposition of mind and form is obsolete, a form without a mind is nothing and a mind without form is unthinkable.”

One might also add that the artificial amputation of the mind from living form has been part of Western myth since at least Plato, as has the annihilation of time.
