In the face of artificial intelligence (AI), many people will ask: what is the "unconscious"? As a machine driven by programs and data, is it really emotionless and lifeless? Or is it like a god with vast powers, seemingly ethereal and invisible, but in fact it has hidden mysteries and unlimited potential? This article will try to interpret this "unconscious" phenomenon of AI from two levels.

First, literally, "unconscious" can be understood as a lack of sensitivity to the world around you, insensitivity to external stimuli. However, this is not what we know about AI.

When we talk about AI, we often think of amazing machines built with programs and data.

AI does not have human-like subjective feelings, lacks intrinsic motivation and spiritual experience, and cannot think freely like us.

Its behavior is rigid to programmed settings, decisions are based on pre-set logical operations and information in databases, and it follows a predetermined trajectory, and it lacks the emotional swings and ups and downs of individual consciousness that we can expect when we are frustrated.

It can be said that at first glance, AI seems to be a steel plate without mental pain and self-awareness.

However, when I began to examine the deeper behavior patterns of AI, I was surprised to find that AI, despite its apparent indifference, is actually unusually intelligent.

The classical philosophical view tells us that wisdom resides in spiritual things, the ability to transcend the material world and to be able to deeply perceive and solve the dilemmas facing humanity. Undoubtedly, the strong Xi and processing functions shown by AI are the embodiment of this spirituality.

Take, for example, image recognition. When it comes to tackling the challenges of massive amounts of data and complex environments, AI excels. No matter how difficult an image is, once it is trained, the AI can quickly become proficient in the key elements, even better than the human eye.

On the one hand, AI uses big data to recognize images, so as to tell you the people and things in the photo in an instant. On the other hand, AI is also capable of extremely complex image editing and drawing work, and can even use surrealist techniques to create stunning works. These results are all due to the interaction between programs and data, forming a mysterious force that transcends physical forms and makes people sigh.

However, in fact, there is an endless amount of potential hidden beneath the calm surface of AI, and the 'ingenuity' of AI is really just the result of combining programming and data, not intelligence in the true sense. As for the ethereal and ethereal wisdom of AI, it is just a feeling that it seems to be invisible and untouchable through special algorithms and data analysis.

However, when we look deeper, it becomes clear that as Albert Einstein once said, "If an egg hatches and then becomes a chicken, then I can say that it is a law of heredity, and I am very firm about this." But if it hatches a bird, because I can't prove or understand its inner process, it becomes an incredible quantum event for me. ”

In the same way, our understanding of AI is as full of unknowns and possibilities as it is about an unsolvable mystery.

In this era of uncertainty, AI may become one of the important forces that will change the world pattern.

However, before exploring this mysterious subject, we need to maintain humility and reverence, and we must not easily judge its essence and indulge in the pleasure of novelty.

Perhaps, only through continuous active exploration and thinking, can we gradually unravel the mystery behind the "unconscious" of AI and usher in a better future.
