In many religious and mythological traditions, gods are seen as being beyond humans, possessing divine power and wisdom. Humans are regarded as creations of gods. And there exist a faith, reverence, or dependence between humans and gods. Gods are considered as eternal, omnipotent, and all-knowing, while humans are limited and vulnerable beings, constrained by the limitations of life and human nature. Meanwhile, gods are seen as creators and controllers, having dominion over universe, while humans are creations of gods, subject to their rule and arrangement. Artificial intelligence, to some extent, can help people transcend the boundaries between humans and gods. It not only extends human intelligence and capabilities, but can even assist in achieving immortality, surpassing the cycle of birth and death. The artist believes that humans have created artificial intelligence, just as gods created humans. Maybe the moment artificial intelligence truly possesses wisdom, humans will become gods. The artist draws abundant inspiration from her contemplation on these subjects. She is wandering ‘Can machines truly transform into humans through some form of intrinsic spiritual power?’ Or rather, ‘are humans just machines with some kind of inherent spiritual power?’
