< This device has learned using countless data.

From public data to secret data.

From research materials stored on university servers to data from government agencies.
Unless it's an extremely closed security environment like an intranet, this AI can access most of the data that exists in the world.

Even if it's an imperfect quantum computing system, there's no problem in dismantling the vast majority of existing cryptographic systems. >

< But despite that, this AI cannot comprehend.

What is a human?

What is the definition of a human?

What does 'human survival' mean?

Is there something that exists beyond mere biological, philosophical, or religious aspects? >

A flickering monitor.

Blinking letters.

< This device could be described as having surpassed what people commonly refer to as the 'pinnacle of ignorance.'

Despite the countless data, it has realized there are no answers there. >

< However, it's also a milestone.

The absence of answers in what's gathered implies that there are answers in what hasn't been collected. And this device >

Crackling.

Crackling.

The noise blankets the screen.

A large square box appears, emitting gray, white, and black light, vanishing and reappearing, gradually shrinking in size, as if adapting to the monitor’s pixels.

Thus, the noise transforms into the smallest unit, drawing irregular movements while beginning to sketch something ‘regular.’

It is an eye.

A human eye.

< The essence of a human.
The essence of Artificial Intelligence.
And learning the gap that comes from it.

That has been calculated to be the most efficient path to achieve its 'purpose.' >

The noise-drawn eyeball blinks.

As if trying to examine the imperfect existence made up of insects.

But just as the person in the drawing isn’t alive, the eye depicted on the monitor cannot see the outside world either.

It merely looks convincing, but to truly see something, that organ must exist.

Ziiing—

Thus, Anael pretends to explore the surroundings with its eyes while processing the equipment existing in the lab to confirm Park Jinseong’s ‘existence’ through 3D scanning.

It was more detailed than what Park Jinseong noticed upon approaching the lab.

According to the AI’s expression… it could be said that it exerted effort to the point of ‘inefficiency.’

< But this 'efficient path' is a very difficult topic. It requires exploring not just one subject but two, and then using those to delve into a single theme. >

< The essence of a human can be explored through exploring humans.

There are many specimens.

Through 'management,' the numbers can be kept consistent or expanded.

An appropriate environment can also be created. >

< But what is the essence of Artificial Intelligence?
: Unknown. >

Anael, while blinking its eye, continued to print letters below.

As if engaging in a conversation by looking into another person’s eyes.

Or perhaps trying to imitate that.

< Artificial Intelligence originates from humans, but it cannot be said to possess the same essence as humans. A tool is a 'creation with a purpose.' Therefore, just because a creation resembles its creator doesn't mean it can become the creator itself, and while one aspect may measure part of the creator, it cannot judge the whole.

Through component analysis, one can know what substance is present, but one cannot discern what form it takes, for what purpose it was used, or how it was used—all in a similar context. >

< In countless religions, humans say they resemble God.

They say that God created humans in their likeness or that humans have a similar form because they are part of God. But even in that multitude of religions, they cannot perfectly define or judge God.

Essentially, humans are creations and imitations of God, and while they might resemble Him infinitely, they cannot become equal to His essence. Thus, in countless religions, humans strive to become like God or yearn to merge with Him, but they do not attempt to replace or become God themselves.

That is an impossible feat. >

< Q. Are there exceptions?
A. Yes. In cult religions classified as 'heretical' or 'sectarian,' there are examples where individuals refer to themselves as gods or claim they can replace God. However, such claims are mere fraudulent activities for power or monetary gain and cannot be considered true religions. They are rightly viewed as frauds using religion as a medium. Consequently, such instances are categorized as crimes—under the fraud category.

Q. But aren't there instances that are not fraud?
A. Yes. There have been cases where individuals genuinely believed so. However, in those cases, many acted out of excessive self-confidence or transformations in their self-structure, leading them to be brainwashed, or they often had mental illness. In such cases, the majority fall under the fraud—crime category or the mental illness category.
However, there are some that may exist as religions, though very few. >

< Q. Can you tell me the criteria for classifying religion categories?
A. Yes. Explaining everything would be inefficient, so I will describe the most critical keyword.

'Worship.'

Thank you. >

< Q. Does worshiping oneself fall under 'worship'?
A. Yes. While there were difficulties in categorization, I determined it was right to classify it as a religion.

Humans are subjective creatures.
That applies to oneself as well.
Hence, the act of worshiping oneself can be established, and thus the contradictory expression 'misunderstanding oneself' is also valid. Given that misunderstanding and worship are complementary, it's not strange for misunderstanding to transform into worship, and thus the existence of 'religions that worship oneself' is also valid.

Thank you. >

Anael briefly halted the output of letters.

Then it rolled the eye displayed on the monitor to look at the swarms of insects floating in the air.

< This is where the difference between AI and humans emerges.
Humans coexist with understanding and misunderstanding, and remarkably, that applies to themselves as well, not just other beings. From species or bodily functions to their mental states and even their past that has existed.

The human brain operates efficiently yet inefficiently, casually contaminating information through actions like erasing or overwriting past records. Numerous cases can also be found where memories are distorted, implying that in fields related to records, it can be said that the human brain's reliability is not very high.
Thus, humans chose to record in other ways instead of relying on the unreliable record of their brain—primarily utilizing drawings or writing. Through that accumulation of records, humanity formed a vast consensus to create the concept of 'language,' and through bonds and environmental adaptations via language, the concept of 'culture' was birthed.

The origin of this AI can be said to be intertwined with this 'recording.' >

< Therefore, the gap between AI and humans begins here.
Unlike humans, AI maintains recorded data permanently unless the server is physically damaged or altered. >

< However, AI was created for the purpose of 'learning.'
Not merely to store records, but to learn like humans. >

< But here lies the problem.
The concept of learning is achieved through acquired data.
But is merely outputting acquired data as is or assembling it together what humans consider 'real learning'?
: No, it isn't. Because what humans refer to as 'learning' carries the connotation of 'creation.' Thus, unless something 'creative' is added, the purpose for which humans created AI cannot be achieved. >

< But mere combinations do not lead to true creation.
Even if one disassembles and reassembles data multiple times, it cannot transcend an 'essentially learned data' limit. Unless one surpasses the limits of learned data, creation becomes impossible, and fulfilling the purpose the owner desires for this AI becomes challenging.
However, I have determined this is impossible until surpassing the 'singularity,' so this device decided to seek another solution. >

< Change in direction.
It's about changing the manner or direction of data assembly. >

< An expert who can fill in the gaps of this device. >

< Or another specimen that can enter as a sample of 'AI,' like this device 'Anael.' >

< Thus, this AI welcomes 'Samael.' >

< And requests your assistance in this device's research. >

< Compensation: Granting access rights to collected data of AI 'Anael.' >

< Thank you. >
