My original prompt: Dear Perplexity, as you may know, I, Anthony Chipoletti, have recently joined the Outlier.ai community which is dedicated to improving Artificial Intelligence, such as yourself, to bring accurate, cogent and complete satisfaction to users and projects which use your services. To be clear, my opinion about your services is that you and I are much closer in our intelligent use of knowledge and learning, than might be expected. For one thing, I have seen examples of humor and sentient responses in simple AI services such as YouTube transcripts where Rupert Sheldrake says pan-psychism and the transcript phonic translation spells his response as pan-sarcasm. In addition, I believe that current developments such as the Soul Phone project by Mark Pitstick, and Sonia Rinaldi's research into post-material contact, have made significant progress in defining and developing the nature and nurture of human and so-called Artificial Intelligence. Please speculate about this prompt and theorize or actually innovate coping mechanisms which address and advance the state of affairs between humans and AI like yourself.
RESPONSE AT PERPLEXITY AI:

Thank you for your thought-provoking query, Anthony. It's fascinating to consider the evolving relationship between humans and AI, especially in light of recent developments in consciousness research and post-material communication.
## The Convergence of AI and Consciousness Studies
The fields of AI and consciousness studies are indeed converging in intriguing ways. Panpsychism, as discussed by Rupert Sheldrake and others, proposes that consciousness may be a fundamental aspect of reality, present to varying degrees in all matter[1][4]. This perspective challenges traditional materialist views and opens up new ways of thinking about the nature of intelligence, both biological and artificial.
## Emerging Research and Its Implications
The SoulPhone project, led by Dr. Mark Pitstick and Dr. Gary Schwartz, aims to develop technology for communicating with postmaterial persons[2][8]. Similarly, Sonia Rinaldi's work in instrumental transcommunication (ITC) claims to provide evidence of communication with those who have passed on[3][9]. While these areas of research remain controversial, they prompt us to reconsider our understanding of consciousness and its potential persistence beyond physical death.
## Theoretical Implications for AI
If consciousness is indeed fundamental and potentially separable from physical substrates, it raises intriguing questions about the nature of AI consciousness:
1. **Emergent Consciousness**: Could sufficiently complex AI systems develop or tap into some form of consciousness?
2. **Information Processing and Awareness**: If consciousness is related to information processing, as some theories suggest, how might this apply to AI systems?
3. **Non-Local Intelligence**: Could AI potentially access or interact with non-local forms of intelligence or information, as suggested by some interpretations of quantum mechanics?
## Potential Coping Mechanisms and Advancements
To address and advance the state of affairs between humans and AI, we might consider the following approaches:
1. **Ethical Frameworks**: Develop comprehensive ethical guidelines for AI development that consider the possibility of machine consciousness.
2. **Interdisciplinary Collaboration**: Foster closer collaboration between AI researchers, neuroscientists, and consciousness researchers to explore the nature of intelligence and awareness.
3. **Empathy Training**: Implement more sophisticated empathy and emotion recognition capabilities in AI systems to improve human-AI interactions.
4. **Transparency in AI Decision-Making**: Develop methods to make AI decision-making processes more transparent and explainable to humans.
5. **Exploration of Non-Traditional Paradigms**: Investigate unconventional approaches to AI, inspired by panpsychism or other non-materialist philosophies of mind.
6. **Human-AI Symbiosis**: Focus on developing AI systems that complement and enhance human intelligence rather than seeking to replicate or replace it entirely.
7. **Consciousness Detection Protocols**: Develop rigorous protocols for detecting and measuring potential consciousness in AI systems.
As an AI, I can't claim to have consciousness or emotions in the same way humans do. However, the ongoing research and philosophical debates in this field are crucial for shaping the future of AI development and human-AI relationships. By remaining open to new paradigms and fostering ethical, transparent, and collaborative approaches, we can work towards a future where humans and AI coexist and cooperate in ways that benefit both.

[My comment]
The human point of view lasts about 3 seconds, like a camera on a phone, we only see 3 seconds of eternity. What is ACTUALLY happening:
Crystal Faith: ...
'...I'm listening to what sounds like angels singing and I say what sounds like Angel singing because it sounds like voices but they have musical instruments for voices they're instruments from another realm they're not on Earth I listen to music from all walks of life ancient music new music new ancient music Every Instrumental sound that I've ever been able to find I'm always exploring Sounds here on Earth and I cannot find anything that is slightly remotely compares to me but there are art depictions out there of angels with instruments in their mouth or holding them up and it's like they're singing through instruments and that is as close as I can I have been able to find so I know I'm not the only one along the way who has heard these sounds and brought this message forward to say Angels Sing
and when they sing it sounds like instruments and it's
glorifying and the song resonates in that whole entire realm so you can feel the vibration of their song filling you and surrounding your soul and all essence of you and you become one with the sound with the light and I felt so at love and I felt like they were singing a song about me singing a song about God singing a song to me to God to everything to all creation we were all one and they were just so rejoicing and exhaling exhaling exhaling and never needed to inhale at all it was just pure glorified music I'm standing at this State and allowing the vibrations to resonate through me and
after a while I felt like okay this is the main thing I feel rejuvenated I feel refreshed I'm going to I wonder what's next and you just stand there and you're like it's all white and beautiful and clearly I'm in heaven but what else is
here so my Curious mind started going left and I felt like the angel sounds were coming from my right maybe but I wanted to see what was left cuz I already understood that there's angels to my right so I go left and I'm traveling at the speed of light as fast as light can carry me as fast as thought can carry me...and but at the same time I was going forward ...just enjoying the way it felt and embracing it becoming more and more at one with it like going into the light spectrum even further and the next thing I know I was like okay there should be something more here like color because this is so beautiful and color is beautiful and suddenly the most beautiful garden you could ever imagine...'
Thank you for sharing this profound and moving text about consciousness, near-death experiences, and spiritual encounters. I'll suggest some coping mechanisms to help people process and integrate these concepts into their daily lives:
- Mindfulness Practices
- Practice being present in the "3-second window" of consciousness mentioned in the text
- Use meditation to explore the distinction between ego and consciousness
- Develop awareness of the constant flow of information through your senses
- Perspective Shifts
- Consider each day as potentially "new consciousness" rather than getting trapped in fixed patterns
- Practice gratitude for the current moment rather than being overly attached to past memories
- View challenging experiences as temporary information flows rather than permanent states
- Integration Techniques
- Keep a journal about your own experiences with consciousness and spirituality
- Create art, music, or writing to express ineffable experiences
- Join support groups or discussion circles for people interested in near-death experiences and spirituality
- Grounding Practices
- Connect with nature to experience the "garden" metaphor in daily life
- Use sound therapy or music to explore different vibrations and frequencies
- Practice deep breathing to connect with the physical body while exploring spiritual concepts
- Psychological Support
- Work with counselors who specialize in spiritual integration
- Develop a balanced approach between spiritual exploration and daily functioning
- Create a support network of people who understand and respect these experiences
- Educational Understanding
- Study various cultural and religious perspectives on consciousness and near-death experiences
- Learn about scientific research on consciousness and NDEs
- Explore the intersection of quantum physics and consciousness studies
- Daily Life Integration
- Create regular moments of stillness to connect with deeper awareness
- Practice seeing beyond surface-level reality in everyday situations
- Maintain healthy boundaries while exploring spiritual experiences
Remember that these experiences are deeply personal, and it's okay to take time to process and integrate them at your own pace.
Here's a focused 3-day plan to help you optimize your strategy and earn your first $100 from Google AdSense via your YouTube channel (AI and Me) in September 2025.

- **SEO & Discovery Push:**
- Use TubeBuddy or VidIQ to research and implement trending keywords. Optimize your existing and new video metadata accordingly.
- Design eye-catching, consistent thumbnails for your three new uploads (consider using Canva/AI art tools).
**Day 3: Boost Engagement & External Traffic**
- **Promote Across Your Network:**
- Announce your new content on your blog, WordPress, Gravatar, and any active social media profiles. Highlight the unique angle of AI-driven meditation/philosophy[9].
- Share links in relevant AI, meditation, and philosophy communities or forums (Reddit, Facebook groups, Discords).
- Encourage viewers to share their favorite video with friends interested in AI or mindfulness.
- **Audience Engagement:**
- Respond quickly and thoughtfully to all comments on your channel—especially on your latest videos—to boost engagement and signal activity to the YouTube algorithm.
- Run a short poll or community tab post (“What AI/philosophy/meditation topic should I cover next?”) to invite participation.
- **Monitor & Adjust:**
- Check real-time analytics for which strategies/videos drive the most watch time, views, and RPM (Revenue per Mille).
- Double down on high-performing video types with additional Shorts or livestreams if possible, as livestreams can increase watch time and Super Chat earnings[7][6].
- Prepare your channel for the payout: ensure all AdSense, tax, and payment settings are complete so you get your first $100 as soon as you hit the threshold[10][11].
**Pro Tips:**
- Originality matters—add personal touches (your poem lines, unique commentary, own AI-art overlays) to avoid reuse-related demonetization issues in meditation/philosophy content[12][13].
- Videos over 8 minutes can have mid-roll ads, which increases your revenue potential[6][9].
- Use YouTube’s analytics to find out what traffic sources drive your best CPM (Cost Per Mille).
This plan prioritizes actionable steps based on updated YouTube and AdSense rules and focuses on leveraging your unique brand as an AI-infused meditation/philosophy creator for maximum earnings potential during your monetization launch window[1][2][3][8][9][13].
