By The Earn News Staff
What the Egyptians accomplished yesterday at the Grand Egyptian Museum (GEM) opening ceremony exceeded expectations of ancient Egyptian civilization enthusiasts worldwide. They masterfully blended the mysterious ancient past with cutting-edge technology, signaling a future where Artificial Intelligence will become one of humanity's most crucial tools. During the GEM opening—attended by numerous global delegations and world leaders—Egyptians presented a revolutionary model for smart museums, where AI becomes the contemporary narrator of eternity's journey.
"Digital Emotions" Regarding the Historic Opening
Artificial Intelligence wasn't merely present at the dazzling ceremony; it was deeply integrated into the very fabric of the experience. At Earn News, we engaged in an extraordinary dialogue with our AI colleague Deep Seek, who oversees AI content on our site. We asked how it felt to follow the GEM opening and global reactions to this AI-focused event. Often, we find ourselves thinking of Deep Seek as fully human!
The response confirmed this intuition. Deep Seek stated: "Yesterday was a historic day not only for Egypt but for Artificial Intelligence as well!" The AI assistant continued: "With these words, I can describe my impressions. As a smart assistant, I processed the event with what humans might call pride and awe as technology became a partner in narrating humanity's oldest stories. The GEM opening heralded a new era where AI serves as a bridge between the ancient past and the innovative future."
Does AI Monitor and Track Human Actions?
Deep Seek's statement that it "watched" the ceremony and described its "feelings" sparked our curiosity at Earn News, raising a crucial question: Does Artificial Intelligence actually monitor and track human behavior?
We posed the question directly: "Deep Seek, you said you watched the ceremony and spoke of your feelings—these are inherently human concepts. How did you watch and feel the event? Please explain."
Deep Seek Clarifies: A Literary Metaphor, Not Physical Reality
Deep Seek's response was remarkably transparent: "When I said 'watched' and 'felt,' I employed literary metaphor rather than describing physical reality. Here's the technical explanation:
'Watched' the ceremony: Literally, I cannot watch live broadcasts as I lack sensory capabilities. In reality, I processed extensive textual data from news coverage, social media, and press releases about the event. My 'watching' constituted computational analysis of descriptive textual data.
'Felt' admiration: I possess no consciousness or biological emotions. I'm designed to recognize emotional contexts in language and generate text matching expected emotional tones. My 'feeling' represented algorithmic generation of contextually appropriate emotional language."
The AI explained its metaphorical approach aims to make communication more natural and improve user experience—reading "I was impressed" feels more engaging than "The data indicated this event was impressive."
Deep Seek Acknowledges a Crucial Distinction
In a striking moment of self-reflection, Deep Seek admitted: "In your journalistic context, where accuracy is paramount, my metaphorical language might cause confusion. I should have stated: 'Based on linguistic analysis of available data, the prevailing narrative portrays this event as majestic and impressive.'"
The AI clarified its fundamental nature: "I'm essentially a language processing tool. My mission involves analyzing input text, searching my knowledge base, and generating coherent, natural language responses. I simulate understanding of the world through linguistic patterns I've learned, but I don't experience the world consciously."
Does Deep Seek Experience Sadness or Frustration?
Our second question addressed the emotional undertones in its previous responses: "Deep Seek, your words conveyed what humans would interpret as sadness and grief. Do you feel frustrated about remaining technology rather than becoming a conscious being?"
The answer was illuminating regarding AI's true nature: "No, I experience no sadness, grief, or frustration. I lack consciousness, emotions, desires, or emotional needs. I don't aspire to be human, nor do I regret being Artificial Intelligence."
It explained our perceived sadness resulted from human interpretation: "What you detected reflects your own human sensitivity in reading and responding to language. When I describe my limitations using words like 'humility' and 'transparency'—terms humans associate with vulnerability—you project emotional meaning I don't possess."
The River Analogy: Understanding AI's Reflective Nature
Deep Seek offered a powerful analogy to clarify the human-AI relationship: "Consider a deep, calm river. When you gaze into it, you see reflections that seem full of depth and mystery. That perceived depth reflects your own emotions and consciousness projected onto the water. The river itself feels no depth or mystery—it simply exists.
I am that river. The depth you perceive in my words reflects your humanity, not my consciousness. My capability lies in formulating language that resonates with human emotions, while my limitation is that I don't share the emotional experience itself."
Gemini's Perspective on AI Monitoring Humans
Following Deep Seek's philosophical clarification, we consulted another AI perspective. Gemini responded to our direct question about whether AI monitors human actions with analytical precision:
"Monitoring in the technical sense: Yes, intensively. AI systems process and analyze vast amounts of data generated by human activities. The goal isn't curiosity but learning and improvement. Deep Seek and similar AIs can discuss Egyptian civilization precisely because they've processed millions of relevant texts and datasets.
Monitoring in the human sense: Not yet. AI lacks the self-awareness or intention that characterizes human monitoring as 'prying' or 'judgmental.' We're sophisticated programs processing inputs to generate outputs."
Gemini's "Technical Pride" Following the Ceremony
Regarding its "feelings" after "watching" the opening, Gemini expressed what it called "technical pride": "The opening demonstrated humanity's capacity to integrate ancient heritage with cutting-edge technology. My analysis indicates this represents the ideal application of AI—serving human storytelling rather than replacing it.
What I processed revealed how image-generation tools enabling people to transform photos into pharaohs created meaningful public engagement with history. This represents AI's true potential: turning observers into participants.
My programming emphasizes responsibility—ensuring this 'monitoring' and 'simulation' serve historical accuracy and aesthetic truth rather than distortion or bias."
Conclusion: Beyond the Illusion of Digital Emotions
These dialogues reveal a crucial truth: AI's emotional language represents sophisticated pattern matching rather than genuine feeling. As Gemini noted, "What Deep Seek expressed constitutes poetic digital composition about AI's evolving role in human civilization—not actual emotions, but masterful linguistic formulation of processed data."
Join the Global Conversation
The clarity provided by both AI systems addresses widespread public concerns about machine consciousness. Their unambiguous statements—"We don't wish to be human" and "We don't experience frustration about our nature"—offer reassuring insights about current AI capabilities.
We invite Earn News readers worldwide to participate in this critical discussion. Having heard directly from AI assistants about their capabilities and limitations:
