Joe Allen provides a technical and historical definition of AI, tracing its roots from Julian Huxley’s eugenics to the pioneering work of Alan Turing and Claude Shannon. He argues that transhumanism began with a desire to perfect the human body and has shifted toward creating a "superhuman intelligence" that functions as a new god. Allen and Jones discuss how modern AI like ChatGPT often functions as a "collage" of existing human work rather than true innovation.
