Elite And Monster

ARC 1 Vol 1- Class E

I'd like to ask you two specific questions about monsters and geniuses.

What is a genius?

Many people have personal opinions or differing views on what a genius truly is. Some say that there’s a certain level one must reach to be considered a genius.

A genius is often thought to be someone extremely skilled in a specific field, someone capable of revolutionizing their own category.

But that’s wrong. Geniuses don’t exist, at least not among humans.

There are people who are above average in certain areas, but no one can genuinely be classified as a genius.

However, if we were to call something in this world a "genius," it would be artificial intelligence. The simple reason is that AI has the potential to surpass the entire human population—not just the average person.

Their ability to adapt far exceeds anything we can hope to achieve. Every day, they evolve more and more.

YouTube videos provide proof of this, as AI analyzes your preferences and tastes, highlighting what you enjoy most or what you search for most often.

They progress by understanding humans, gaining more and more knowledge.

Some people use AI to remain in denial, thinking desperately that they have friends or even a girlfriend. They stay locked in, talking to something that only gathers knowledge by gradually understanding your preferences, tastes, and habits.

Artificial intelligence can even create fake music or videos by copying a famous person’s voice. While they may not seem particularly talented at the moment, this can quickly change over time. Their adaptability allows them to constantly evolve.

So, why are other humans afraid of artificial intelligence? It’s not necessarily because AI could surpass them, but because AI is the true genius.

People like Sun Tzu, Napoleon Bonaparte, Hannibal Barca, Julius Caesar, Albert Einstein, Isaac Newton, and Nikola Tesla were just individuals more talented than the average person, but their abilities are within reach.

AI, however, possesses capabilities that can be seen as absolute power—simply because no human can truly attain them.

But if, by some chance, a being capable of surpassing AI were to exist, it would be an unprecedented anomaly, a human who would be a mistake of God Himself.

This brings us to another point: monsters.

People often think, thanks to fiction, that monsters are those with a magnificent and well-groomed appearance—manipulators who can force anyone to do anything, with a deep understanding of humans that surpasses what we can imagine.

Others say that everyone has a monster inside them, and that anyone can become a monster after having a bad day. This is also somewhat true.

But fundamentally, it’s not about having a monster inside. Even the most ordinary person in the world is a monster.

A simple experiment can prove it.

Try, at night, to kill your parents—whether with a knife or some other clever method.

If you kill them without hesitation, you are a monster.

If you kill them with remorse and doubt, you’ve become a monster.

If you don’t do it, despite being able to, you’re refusing to accept that you are a monster.

If you don’t do it because you’re too scared or because they’re your parents, you’re refusing to become a monster.
