00:00:00--> 00:00:02

The prophet Muhammad sallallahu alaihi wasallam told us,

00:00:02--> 00:00:05

whoever builds a mosque for Allah, Allah will

00:00:05--> 00:00:08

build for him a similar house in Jannah.

00:00:09--> 00:00:11

And we know the great reward that will

00:00:11--> 00:00:13

not only be gained but rather

00:00:13--> 00:00:15

will fill your grave after your death.

00:00:16--> 00:00:19

Whenever someone prays there, whenever someone gives shahada

00:00:20--> 00:00:23

in the masjid, whenever someone learns something in

00:00:23--> 00:00:23

the masjid,

00:00:24--> 00:00:24

yes,

00:00:25--> 00:00:27

that will be something that you'll have on

00:00:27--> 00:00:27

your scale.

00:00:37--> 00:00:38

How are you guys

00:00:38--> 00:00:39

doing?

00:00:39--> 00:00:42

It's been a long time since I've addressed

00:00:42--> 00:00:44

you from this very prestigious location next to

00:00:44--> 00:00:46

these 2 chumps on my left. These are

00:00:46--> 00:00:48

the 2 failures, abject failures.

00:00:48--> 00:00:50

I'm here that you can't see in the

00:00:50--> 00:00:51

description.

00:00:52--> 00:00:54

But I recently came across

00:00:54--> 00:00:55

a video.

00:00:57--> 00:00:58

Joe Rogan was having a conversation

00:00:59--> 00:01:01

with Tucker Carlson

00:01:01--> 00:01:04

and 2 figures who are no doubt big

00:01:04--> 00:01:05

figures

00:01:05--> 00:01:06

in the conservative

00:01:06--> 00:01:09

world and also in American culture generally. They

00:01:09--> 00:01:11

were talking about God and they were talking

00:01:11--> 00:01:13

about AI. I found it interesting. Let's take

00:01:13--> 00:01:15

a look at this and come back and

00:01:15--> 00:01:17

respond in kind. They're in better versions of

00:01:17--> 00:01:18

itself. Where does that go?

00:01:19--> 00:01:21

That goes to a god. It it literally

00:01:21--> 00:01:22

I don't could create a purpose. What kind

00:01:22--> 00:01:24

of god? So, like, I I think of

00:01:24--> 00:01:25

it this way. So the first stage of

00:01:25--> 00:01:26

the industrial

00:01:27--> 00:01:30

revolution consisted of people building machines that were

00:01:30--> 00:01:33

stronger than the human body. Right. Right? So

00:01:33--> 00:01:36

the steam powered loom Sure. The backhoe Combustion

00:01:36--> 00:01:38

engine. Combustion engine. They replace

00:01:39--> 00:01:41

they replace muscles. Right. Right. So that's what

00:01:41--> 00:01:43

the machine does. It it becomes stronger than

00:01:43--> 00:01:46

the human body. The second stage, which we're

00:01:46--> 00:01:47

in the middle of,

00:01:47--> 00:01:49

consists of creating machines that are more powerful

00:01:49--> 00:01:50

than the human mind.

00:01:51--> 00:01:54

That's what computing is, and I would say

00:01:54--> 00:01:56

AI or supercomputing is just that

00:01:58--> 00:01:58

exponentially.

00:01:59--> 00:01:59

Yeah.

00:02:00--> 00:02:02

But that doesn't make it a god

00:02:03--> 00:02:06

in the sense that the machine, however powerful

00:02:06--> 00:02:08

it is, any more than a backhoe is

00:02:08--> 00:02:10

a god Mhmm. Because it can dig a

00:02:10--> 00:02:11

trench faster than a 100 men,

00:02:12--> 00:02:15

it is still something that people created. Yes.

00:02:15--> 00:02:16

It's an interesting video.

00:02:17--> 00:02:19

I think it's very interesting because I think

00:02:19--> 00:02:22

they were coming from different perspectives, different paradigms.

00:02:22--> 00:02:24

Joe Rogan is an atheist or an agnostic

00:02:24--> 00:02:26

from my understanding. I might be wrong about

00:02:26--> 00:02:29

that. Maybe he's changed his views. And Tucker

00:02:29--> 00:02:31

Carlson I think maybe a Christian.

00:02:32--> 00:02:35

So this is probably where the disagreement if

00:02:35--> 00:02:37

we wanna call it that because really they

00:02:37--> 00:02:39

weren't overtly disagreeing, although

00:02:39--> 00:02:41

in wording they were,

00:02:41--> 00:02:43

maybe as a result of.

00:02:45--> 00:02:45

A

00:02:46--> 00:02:48

God is different to God. Right? With a

00:02:48--> 00:02:51

capital g. Because God with a capital g

00:02:51--> 00:02:53

refers to what we would consider to be

00:02:53--> 00:02:56

the creator of the universe, You see, the

00:02:56--> 00:02:58

maintainer of the universe, the sustainer of the

00:02:58--> 00:02:59

universe,

00:02:59--> 00:03:02

the one with volition and will and power

00:03:02--> 00:03:04

and knowledge. This is usually

00:03:05--> 00:03:08

the definition of a God which most people

00:03:08--> 00:03:08

accept.

00:03:09--> 00:03:10

Having said this,

00:03:11--> 00:03:12

on the issue of AI,

00:03:13--> 00:03:14

the reason why AI

00:03:14--> 00:03:15

cannot be

00:03:16--> 00:03:17

even less than a God

00:03:18--> 00:03:21

and be conscious is because it will always

00:03:21--> 00:03:23

requires an input. This is the reality of

00:03:23--> 00:03:24

the situation.

00:03:24--> 00:03:26

As much as AI

00:03:26--> 00:03:27

develops.

00:03:27--> 00:03:29

Listen carefully to this please. Yes?

00:03:30--> 00:03:33

As much as AI develops, there's always gonna

00:03:33--> 00:03:33

be

00:03:33--> 00:03:36

an input that is required. It's never going

00:03:36--> 00:03:37

to have

00:03:39--> 00:03:41

a first person subjective experience. It's never gonna

00:03:41--> 00:03:42

have consciousness.

00:03:42--> 00:03:43

And consciousness

00:03:43--> 00:03:46

is really defined as a inner personal subjective

00:03:47--> 00:03:47

state.

00:03:48--> 00:03:49

A computer

00:03:49--> 00:03:52

or a machine will never feel anything in

00:03:52--> 00:03:53

the same way

00:03:53--> 00:03:55

as a human being or even an animal

00:03:55--> 00:03:57

would be considered to be able to feel

00:03:57--> 00:03:58

something.

00:03:58--> 00:03:59

Anger,

00:03:59--> 00:04:00

love,

00:04:01--> 00:04:02

it will never do so. And there are

00:04:02--> 00:04:04

many experiments that have been done

00:04:04--> 00:04:06

and discussions that have been had in the

00:04:06--> 00:04:07

world of philosophy

00:04:08--> 00:04:09

under the banner

00:04:10--> 00:04:11

of what is referred to as the hard

00:04:11--> 00:04:12

problem of consciousness,

00:04:13--> 00:04:15

which people find hard in the first place

00:04:15--> 00:04:16

to define.

00:04:17--> 00:04:19

That one can refer to if they want

00:04:19--> 00:04:20

more information about this. But one of the

00:04:20--> 00:04:23

interesting things is referred to as the Chinese

00:04:23--> 00:04:24

Room Experiment.

00:04:24--> 00:04:26

And once again,

00:04:26--> 00:04:27

I don't have time to speak to you

00:04:27--> 00:04:30

about or spell out how that looks, but

00:04:30--> 00:04:33

the point is, look, computers and software

00:04:34--> 00:04:35

are essentially

00:04:35--> 00:04:38

loops and conditionals. That's what they are. Loops

00:04:38--> 00:04:39

and conditionals.

00:04:39--> 00:04:41

And they always require an importer. They will

00:04:41--> 00:04:44

never feel anything. They'll never have first person

00:04:44--> 00:04:47

subjective experience. They'll never graduate to the level

00:04:47--> 00:04:48

of a human being or an animal.

00:04:49--> 00:04:51

And this is very interesting because the Quran,

00:04:52--> 00:04:54

of course, we as Muslims believe that this

00:04:54--> 00:04:56

is the Word of God. This is the

00:04:56--> 00:04:58

communication, the revelation

00:04:58--> 00:05:00

from God Almighty

00:05:00--> 00:05:03

to human beings on this planet Earth

00:05:03--> 00:05:05

for the guidance of human beings states the

00:05:05--> 00:05:06

following. It says,

00:05:07--> 00:05:08

in the

00:05:14--> 00:05:17

That all of those who you worship aside

00:05:17--> 00:05:18

from God

00:05:18--> 00:05:20

will not be able to create even a

00:05:20--> 00:05:23

fly and even if you come together. If

00:05:23--> 00:05:24

you think about

00:05:24--> 00:05:27

this, the parable of the fly, the example

00:05:27--> 00:05:29

of the fly, the similitude of the fly,

00:05:31--> 00:05:33

the similitude of the fly. The fly is

00:05:33--> 00:05:34

a living creature.

00:05:35--> 00:05:37

Something with life. Something

00:05:37--> 00:05:39

which can be considered

00:05:39--> 00:05:42

or inferred to have first person subjective experience.

00:05:44--> 00:05:45

AI can never reach

00:05:46--> 00:05:47

that level.

00:05:48--> 00:05:50

The Quran is already telling us this. It

00:05:50--> 00:05:51

will never

00:05:51--> 00:05:53

reach that level. Now, that's not to say

00:05:53--> 00:05:56

that AI, like Tucker Carlson was alluding here,

00:05:56--> 00:05:58

will not reach very high levels and chat

00:05:58--> 00:06:00

GPT and all those kind of things and

00:06:00--> 00:06:02

robots and people have this kind of thing

00:06:02--> 00:06:04

and cars, self driving cars, maybe self driving

00:06:04--> 00:06:05

planes,

00:06:06--> 00:06:07

whatever it may be.

00:06:07--> 00:06:09

But there are always gonna be limits to

00:06:09--> 00:06:11

that which human being creates.

00:06:12--> 00:06:14

And the first and final limit is that

00:06:14--> 00:06:16

human being will always have to create from

00:06:16--> 00:06:18

a material that was already put in place

00:06:18--> 00:06:19

by God.

00:06:19--> 00:06:20

And moreover,

00:06:21--> 00:06:24

that anything that is done by human will

00:06:24--> 00:06:25

be credited

00:06:26--> 00:06:28

or God will be given the credit for

00:06:28--> 00:06:30

that because he's the ultimate responsible,

00:06:31--> 00:06:34

the ultimate responsible one for all things anyone

00:06:34--> 00:06:35

other than him does

00:06:36--> 00:06:37

being the ultimate one.

00:06:38--> 00:06:39

Having said this,

00:06:40--> 00:06:42

I hope that Joe Rogan

00:06:43--> 00:06:43

realizes

00:06:44--> 00:06:45

the preposterous

00:06:46--> 00:06:49

nature of believing that there is not a

00:06:49--> 00:06:49

foundational

00:06:51--> 00:06:51

entity

00:06:52--> 00:06:54

that brought rise to all that exists

00:06:55--> 00:06:56

and that which

00:06:56--> 00:06:59

all that exists depends upon. And I hope

00:06:59--> 00:07:01

that Tucker Carlson also realizes

00:07:02--> 00:07:04

that the same argument that he applied to

00:07:04--> 00:07:04

AI

00:07:05--> 00:07:06

can be applied to his

00:07:07--> 00:07:08

idea of Jesus

00:07:08--> 00:07:09

as being God.

00:07:10--> 00:07:12

The same limitations that AI have

00:07:13--> 00:07:15

to being God are the same

00:07:15--> 00:07:17

that anything else would have.

00:07:18--> 00:07:20

That's why Islam is the religion of truth.

00:07:20--> 00:07:23

I invite you both to it, Taka and

00:07:23--> 00:07:23

Joe.

00:07:34--> 00:07:37

Sisters in the slam net from Norway are

00:07:37--> 00:07:39

establishing a Masjid, a dawah center.

00:07:40--> 00:07:42

Establishing a Masjid to convey the message of

00:07:42--> 00:07:45

Islam is one of the best deeds a

00:07:45--> 00:07:47

Muslim can do. There's a huge need for

00:07:47--> 00:07:49

it in Norway. You know this and I

00:07:49--> 00:07:52

know this, so that makes the reward even

00:07:52--> 00:07:52

greater.

00:07:53--> 00:07:54

give you even more.

00:07:53--> 00:07:54

give you even more.
