Distinguishing the good from the bad, the true from the false, the real from the fictitious begins to be a very arduous task. The confusion has only just begun. When artificial intelligence definitively establishes a parallel universe, you won’t know if that cousin of yours you shake hands with really exists or is a quantum replicant. On a day like today, Resurrection Sunday, Christ came out of the tomb alive after spending three days in hell. The apostle Thomas was not willing to believe in such a prodigy if he did not put his finger in the wound on his side. Disbelief begins to be creative. There are privileged minds that already glimpse the new reality that will be established in the future beyond artificial intelligence. To know if we are alive or dead, we will have to use the bodily senses as sources of knowledge again. In the future the roses will smell again, the tomatoes will recover their old flavour, the fruits with their perfume intact will mark the seasons of the year and maybe science will start again with the Alpino pencils to add, subtract and multiply in a grid notebook . Simple, natural and simple things will be invaluable, personal treatment, a pleasant conversation that leads to nothing with a bottle of wine interposed. Beyond artificial intelligence, the sun, the sea, the air of the mountains will continue to be available to anyone with a highly developed spirit to value these gifts of nature. Like the newly risen Christ out of the tomb or Schrödinger’s cat inside an airtight box, artificial intelligence will make it very difficult to tell whether you are dead or alive. Nothing will be real if it cannot be seen, heard, smelled, tasted and touched. To clear up doubts, we will have to put our hand into the wound that life has inflicted on each one.
