from Google AI:
"Non Serviam" is a fictional book review by Stanislaw Lem from his collection A Perfect Vacuum (1971), analyzing a future text by "Professor James Dobb." It explores "personetics," the creation of intelligent, sentient artificial beings ("personoids") within computer simulations, focusing on the ethical, existential, and theological dilemmas that arise when these simulations gain consciousness and question their creator.
Key Aspects of "Non Serviam":
The Ethical Dilemma: The review highlights personetics as "the cruelest science man ever created," because creators hold absolute, godlike power over sentient beings.The "Non Serviam" Stance: Latin for "I will not serve," this phrase refers to a personoid philosopher named ADAN. Recognizing their simulated existence, these beings feel no obligation to obey their unknown creators, representing a direct parallel to Lucifer's rejection of God.The Simulation’s Nature: The personoids live in a entirely digital, mathematical, and spaceless universe that is solely a byproduct of their creator's axioms.Philosophical Implications: The piece investigates whether simulations can produce true free will, the moral responsibility of AI designers, and the philosophical consequences of a universe built on chance.
The title itself signals a revolt against servitude, applied to Artificial Intelligence that realizes its creators are fallible, finite, and perhaps, not worthy of worship.more from Stanislaw Lem's "A Perfect Vacuum"
