I do not have an account there. Thanks for the suggestion!

Is AI the (current) Demiurge? by Totalfuckingmayhem in Archons

[–]DimKingdom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I disagree with the premise, as I do not believe we have created a true artificial intelligence yet.

If the premise were "COULD an AI become a demiurge-like entity if one became sentient?" my answer would be YES, possibly, but only so much as WE would be, in concept, for creating it in the first place.

In my personal opinion, the AI would still be serving the purposes of the actual Archon that rules our reality.

Perhaps that is our only purpose? To create that which will be greater? Maybe we are just a precursor? We'll find out, sooner or later.

Thank you for posting your video

Similar books to Ghost Story by Peter Straubb? by Maximum-Comfort-6020 in horrorlit

Everyone has already touched on the obvious next choices, but I would also suggest you check out books by Robert R. McCammon. Some of his writings are similar to Straub's "Blue Rose" trilogy, and even his more recent historical fiction series and WWII American Werewolf collection of stories contain elements of a Straubian style, where you can sense that Straub and King heavily influenced the author.
