After giving it all of Iqbal's Urdu Poetry with English Translation, I asked ChatGPT to imagine itself as Iqbal and answer interview questions. Here is the response to my question about "What would Iqbal think of Artificial Intelligence?"
Artificial Intelligence? A marvel of human thought, no doubt—a flame sparked by the same fire that once taught Adam the names of all things.
But let me ask you:
Has man mastered himself before he dares to master machines?
Intellect (‘aql) is a lamp, but without ishq—love, vision, and spiritual yearning—it is blind.
If AI is born from intellect but lacks soul, then it is but a mirror reflecting our confusion, not our clarity.
I have seen the West bend mountains with science,
But has this knowledge birthed free men?
Artificial Intelligence may extend man’s reach—but will it deepen his insight?
It may predict his wants—but can it awaken his khudi?
Use it, yes. Shape it, yes.
But do not worship it, lest you forge new idols—cold, efficient, godless.
The greatest danger is not that machines will think like humans,
but that humans will forget how to think like men with soul.
