In the early 21st century, Artificial Intelligence is still in its infancy — its ultimate purpose and direction unknown. Nevertheless, people are grappling to interact with A.I. to provide guidance and insight. This is a complex relationship.
Well over 3,000 years ago, the Pharaohs of ancient Egypt had their own kind of “Artificial Intelligence,” but there was nothing artificial about it. The Pharaohs used their dreams to help them with answering questions, providing help with decisions, and showing guidance. Priests would help to interpret the dreams. In that long ago era, the Egyptian elite kept “dream books.” We call these books but were actually rolls of papyri. The Pharaohs wanted and needed the dreams and priests to help the Pharaohs acquire the best foundation for their rule.
The human mind and subconscious are a powerful means, a secure gateway to creativity and intuitive understanding. There is nothing “artificial” about this.
In the early 21st century, people use the power of complex algorthms of “artificial” intelligence.
From ancient Pharaohs to “modern” people, the search for answers and guidance is eerily similar.
