About this title

Synopsis

A groundbreaking endeavor to explore human spirituality through the evolving technology of artificial intelligence <p/>Why are we here? What does it mean to love? How do we overcome suffering? Is happiness truly possible? <p/>For thousands of years, we have turned to the same beloved texts to explore these universal questions--from the Bible and the Tao Te Ching, to the poetry of Rumi and Sappho, to the words of modern-day mystics. <p/>What if you could take all of the wisdom contained in these collective pages and, using the world's most advanced artificial intelligence, receive the answers? <p/>To create What Makes Us Human?, internationally bestselling poet Iain S. Thomas and globally recognized prodigious researcher and innovator Jasmine Wang prompted the world's most advanced AI, GPT-3, with a wealth of humanity's most cherished works. Then they asked GPT-3 our most pressing questions about life. <p/>Contained in this book are the conversations and exchanges that followed. <p/>A bold and daring experiment, What Makes Us Human? is a contemporary exploration of spirituality that will inspire you, move you, and give you a new understanding of what makes us humans, humans.
