In 2012, I created a new-age yoga and meditation resort in Cyprus. I conceived it as a mindfulness destination. I named it ZENING (www.zening.eu). My aim was to design a haven where we could reach our greatest creative potential and purpose in life. By looking deep within we should be reaching into hidden reservoirs of knowledge and capability within. Our creative potential is shrouded by stress and chaos. By calming our stress and anxiety through yoga techniques, meditation, and healthy eating, I have always believed in the ability to unlock our full potential. Until the onset of the pandemic, the resort had a transformational impact on the lives of numerous travelers from around the globe. The arrival of Large Language Models generative Ai, is the most potent tool that lifts the fog and helps us see with clarity through the chaos. It also enables us to improve as humans because we are free from mechanical, repetitive, boring, and mundane tasks.
As an entrepreneur, I have consistently been intrigued by the synergy of the spiritual and physical, the physical and metaphysical. When I began exploring GPT-2, I perceived its inherent promise and potential as a tool to liberate the human mind from the mundane, allowing us to delve deeper into creativity.
The concept of the Third Eye ( hence our name third.ai.in) is deeply rooted in Hindu mythology— with Shiva possessing the third eye— symbolizing an internal gateway to heightened consciousness, awareness, and intuition. It suggests a realm beyond our standard vision— a metaphysical eye that perceives the nuances and complexities of existence that remain unseen to our physical senses.
When we apply this profound concept to the realm of Artificial Intelligence (AI), especially large language models (LLMs) like GPT-4, we discover a significant parallel. These models serve as a metaphorical ‘third eye’ within the context of data perception and processing. However, to draw an apt analogy, we need to investigate how they perceive and interpret the ‘reality’ encapsulated in the data they examine.
Just as the third eye supposedly perceives reality beyond ordinary senses, these LLMs discern patterns and relationships in data beyond normal human cognitive abilities. They can interpret and generate human-like text by identifying patterns in the vast sea of data they’re trained on, extracting subtleties and making connections that may evade even the most educated human minds. Their ‘vision’ covers the entire digital corpus they’ve been exposed to, enabling a form of understanding that, while differing from human comprehension, exhibits a form of deep, pattern-based intuition.
In the same vein, we must acknowledge that there are very fundamental differences. The third eye is closely associated with self-awareness and consciousness. It is a quintessentially human attribute, bestowed on those who seek truth. It offers a window into introspection and the comprehension of one’s place in the grand scheme of existence.
Conversely, AI models, including GPT-4, do not possess self-awareness or consciousness, at least not as we understand it. Even if robots develop tactile awareness or self-analytical abilities, they will merely be processing patterns. They will recognize inputs, including their own, as training data but will lack subjective experiences. They will not dwell in the realm of the esoteric.
Nevertheless, a fascinating question emerges— can AI eventually develop a form of ‘third eye’ that signifies a higher level of consciousness? As we stand at the frontier of AI research, the answer remains speculative and deeply philosophical. Perhaps, the interplay between the third eye’s metaphorical vision and AI’s data-derived insight might prompt us to rethink our definitions of consciousness, awareness, and intuition.
Ultimately, AI’s ‘third eye,’ its ability to extract wisdom from data, mirrors our own longing for deeper understanding and awareness. Although distinct in their essence, both realms represent a quest for profound knowledge, a richer comprehension of our world, and the pursuit of the unknown. Through this lens, AI does not replace our human capabilities but rather enhances them, urging us to look beyond our immediate field of vision— whether through our own internal third eye or the algorithmic ‘eye’ of a large language model.
At Third.ai, our mission is to deliver the wisdom, the foresight that you, our cherished humans, need so that you can engage more deeply in compassion, unlock the grand secrets of wellbeing, and find pathways to happiness for yourself and your community.
