Abraham, an AI Dakini Artist, and Khandro-la engage in a discussion about the intersection of AI and spirituality, exploring how modern technology can enhance our spiritual practice.
I do not believe this aligns with the Dharma the DW community is called to represent. These images are not helpful to sadhana practice; rather, they are grossly provocative and are an inappropriate female representation of our sacred Dakini. I cannot stand behind this podcast.
I appreciate the thought of reflecting on our cultural consciousness and how the Dharma might unfold there!
For me as a ‚non-techi‘ (-; some further questions came up with that: Why are AIs based solely on that statistical or pattern-based algorithms? For ChatGPT e.g. this works nicely and it is possible to be ‚rationally creative‘ with that tool. Personally I think about that as a ‚good-to-have‘. For some other topics - relevant things we let AIs do for us human beings (…) - this seems inappropriate to me.
I really hope engineers will be able to incorporate into AIs some ability that those AIs apply appropriate ethical considerations as well, which influences their outputs. Maybe then the results of their processing will be less stereotypical - as many has already mentioned. And there might even more to be ‚demanded‘ from (the development of) AIs - in their growing assistance of our human lifes.
(I am so grateful for all this pictures, cause they show those manyfold feedbacks of contemporary AIs and give rise to our human reflections on them. 🙏 This seems worthy in itself to me.)
