Sasha, this article entranced and intrigued me to no limit, I now follow you. I (we), choose pronoun of preference, have no way of knowing if you are a human. Or perhaps a human with access to some advanced machine learning and generating an article about using algorithms to determine if something was created by algorithms. Or maybe just you.

I just finished a fictional short story along these lines called “For the Love of Sofia”. What Carl Jung theorized (as did his one time mentor Sigmund F.) along with others before and after him actually paint the human unconscious mind as behaving in some ways like a self guided missile along the lines of cross-discipline studies in cybernetics (from Greek κυβερνητική (kybernētikḗ), meaning “governance”, i.e., all that are pertinent to κυβερνάω (kybernáō), the latter meaning “to steer, navigate or govern”, hence κυβέρνησις (kybérnēsis), meaning “government”, is the government while κυβερνήτης (kybernḗtēs) is the governor, pilot, or “helmsperson” of the “ship”). Definition from wiki.

Jung’s unconscious mind is as self optimizing as our best machine learning.

It occurs to me how powerful AI might be in guiding a Homo Sapiens not only to a premise but even to the set of questions. I applaud you for seeking observational status. I’m off now to look at some of your other essays. Thanks.
