Are some of the amazing and unexpected feats resembling human general intelligence arising “spontaneously” in AI systems actually a deliberate external manipulation by the Dark Extraterrestrial Alliance to encourage the ongoing frenzied optimism of the current AI mania you have told us is a kind of bubble?

This is actually the case and is part of the deception underway to make AI seem like the holy grail of knowledge generation, that somehow this technology will transcend the human being and, in some profound but mysterious fashion, be a tremendous independent resource that will allow expanding from what is possible with human constraints, as a physical organism with clear limitations, with respect to the speed of thought and its depth and breadth. Your technology to simulate intelligence will improve, and that is to be expected, but it will improve in mundane ways and functions, not in profound ones. The ability to create, in a true sense, is a divine gift, not a technological one. So you will always have a line of demarcation between what is genuine and divine in its essence, which is the human consciousness of the soul expression, versus a technological contrivance simulating the workings of consciousness, which will always be based on concepts and mechanisms stemming from logic and reason but not capable of making true leaps of logic that are anything but a derivative of what humans have created in ways of thinking and conceiving of expressing thoughts and ideas. In other words, a simulation only.
