Do you know, as far as putting words in order is concerned...
AI already thinks better than many of us.
Therefore, anything made of words will be taken over by AI.
If laws
are made of words, then AI will take over the legal system.
If books are just combinations of words, then AI will take over books.
If religion is built from words, then AI will take over religion.
This is particularly true of religions based on books, like Islam, Christianity, or Judaism.
Judaism calls itself the religion of the book, and it grants ultimate authority, not to humans, but to words in books.
Humans have authority in Judaism not because of our experiences, but only because we learn words in books.
Now, no human can read and remember all the words in all the Jewish books.
But AI can easily do that.
What happens to a religion of the book when the greatest expert on the holy book is an AI?
