Vladislav Surkov gave a Christmas sermon about faith and the ability of intelligence (artificial or natural – it doesn’t matter, since artificial intelligence is only a model of natural intelligence) to come to faith in God.
Actually, the answer to the question was given a long time ago, by the early Father of the Church Tertullian, who exclaimed in response to the reproaches and ridicule of Roman logicians: “I believe, because it is absurd!”
That is, faith does not imply the presence of intelligence in principle.
Faith implies the presence of the psyche (psyche, soul, conscious and unconscious), with all its obvious and suppressed motives and manifestations.
Intelligence is needed to justify the absurdity (faith) accepted by the mind as reality.
He copes with this task quite well through theological scholastic exercises and cunning clerical institutions.
Therefore, the answer to Surkov’s question is simple: AI can become either Orthodox, Hare Krishna, or Buddhist, since any religious discourse is based on logic, that is, intellect.
But AI cannot become a believer, because intelligence does not accept the absurd and is not capable of being absurd.
And this was proven by Kant.
It is clear that Surkov is not interested in the salvation of human souls, but he suggests to the authorities ways to form a postmodern quasi-Orthodox discourse of “eternal Putinism,” while simultaneously hinting to the priests that he (who shepherded them with an iron staff in his time) is not their enemy.
Well, this is a serious political technology bid for discourse.
Surkov in this video reminds me of Merovinger from The Matrix.
The question is how much we are ready to believe in the matrix itself…

“The questions that led man to God can also lead a machine to God.” Vladislav Surkov thought about whether artificial intelligence could believe in God.
