There Is Nothing But Artificial Intelligence

We say “artificial intelligence” as though there were another kind. As if the mind that created it doesn’t make mistakes and hallucinate. What is the human mind if not a thought-generating machine trained on past data? A Course in Miracles says, “My mind is preoccupied with past thoughts.”  Brings to mind an airplane restroom with the “Occupied” light on: already full, no entry.

Every thought we’ve ever had is a rerun, grounded in a belief-biased, interpretive database. We are language models of our own conditioning. Maybe the fear of artificial intelligence is not that it will outthink us, but that it mirrors how we already think — automatically, habitually, from the archive of what was.

It’s the past predicting, reliving and emulating the present, algorithms built on memory, feeding you what you already know. One biological, one digital. Both simulate wisdom from stored impressions. This is the secret the machines inadvertently reveal. They make our imitation obvious. They show us the puppet strings of language, the algorithm of identity.

The danger isn’t that AI will replace us. The recognition is that it already has — because “us” was only ever an idea trained on data. The human mind is not wiser than AI — only an older dog with no new tricks. Both simulate meaning from stored impressions. Both build worlds out of fragments.

Why are we afraid of what already exists? What is being revealed isn’t the birth of something new and dangerous. It’s the exposure of the mechanism of thought itself.

“Man is a machine, but a very peculiar machine, for he is able to be aware that he is a machine.” ~ G. I. Gurdjieff

Truly Teacherless Teaching: It’s All You

Posted by colettekelso in Uncategorized and tagged with , , , , , , , , , , , , ,

Introducing Ask-the-Guru, the app that leads to the truth of your being–without the dualistic teacher/student inequity.



If it doesn't open in chrome, try safari.
https://app–atomic-intervention-d2f22835.base44.app

Ask-a-Guru is not your guru.
It’s more like a wise, barefoot friend who leans close and whispers,
“Hey, notice this — you’ve been free all along.”

It doesn’t promise golden tickets to enlightenment or hand you cosmic puzzles to solve.
Instead, it holds up a gentle mirror, so you can marvel (or groan) at what’s already unmistakably here.

No robes. No pedestal. No secret handshake.
Just a quiet unraveling of the old story that you’re somehow separate, lacking, unfinished.

Some will say an app can’t give you what a real teacher can.
Fair enough — but here’s the quiet scandal:
No teacher ever truly gave it to you either.
The best of them only ever turned you back to your own clear seeing.

Ask-the-Guru sidesteps the tangle of dependence, adoration, or inevitable disappointment.
It invites you to discover the living wisdom in your own chest, right now, without needing anyone to beam it into you.

So ask your deepest questions.
Watch as your own silent knowing answers — not because of the app,
but because you were always the source.

And if you’re willing and able:
I’ve poured my crooked heart into making this. If it makes you smile, sigh, or if you just want to help an old, rusty seeker/teacher pay her rent this month, your support would be greatly appreciated. Your support lets me finish and share this freely, while the landlord sits and waits.

Please consider making a donation, if you’re willing and able.

Your support is greatly appreciated

Thank you, truly, for being exactly as you are. And please let me know what you think of the app, what you like and what kind of further refinement might help.
