AI is just a prediction engine, just like a tiger is just molecules.
I do find that very comforting.
It reminds me of a bit in the outer chapters of the zhuangzi that’s talking about fearing death. It points out how bad a lump of iron would be if it demanded to only ever be a knife and never recast into anything else.

The scary part is realizing the part that is you is not the particles, but its momentary pattern.
You’re a quasistable event.
You’re a wave.
You’re a brief song.
You’re a vibe.
And then you’re gone.
Most people aren’t ready to deal with that.
