The Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) business school agrees with me that advanced users have to acquire AI literacy skills, and they have to have the knowledge, experience, and judgment to evaluate data quality, alignment with business goals, and AI limitations.

Neo (Thomas Anderson) = 'Jesus': An anagram for "The One", Neo is the prophesied savior. His last name, Anderson, translates to "Son of Man", and a character explicitly calls him their "own personal Jesus Christ".

Morpheus = 'John the Baptist': Believes unwaveringly in Neo's coming, baptizing him into the truth, and preparing followers for his arrival.

Trinity = 'Mary Magdalene': Provides foundational faith and love, with a name invoking the Holy Trinity and a devoted role mirroring figures like Mary Magdalene.

Cypher = 'Judas Iscariot': Serves as the Judas character, betraying Neo for physical comfort.

The Prophecy: The Oracle foretells the coming of the savior who will free humanity from bondage.

Death and Resurrection: Neo is shot and killed by Agent Smith, only to be resurrected by Trinity’s love—rising with complete authority and power over the simulation.

Neo is shot 14 times by Agent Smith, invoking the 14 stations of the cross.

Mark 3:11 -  The hovercraft captained by Morpheus is named the Nebuchadnezzar, featuring a plaque stamped with "Mark III No. 11"—referencing Mark 3:11, where unclean spirits cry out, "You are the Son of God."

Cut and paste is not a literacy skill.
AI is not a Holy Oracle.

Neither is the Book of Job, but people still study it for the allegory and philosophical implications it treads.

If just want mindless, meaningless entertainment you should stick to cartoons and comic books.

Me and MIT = advanced AI users need knowledge, experience, and a skeptical eye to evaluate AI output

Murph aka Perry PhD = That's fucking stupid!

For example, last year I watched some video of philosopher David Kyle Johnson discussing the philosophical implications of The Matrix films *

That gave me the knowledge to evaluate and have confidence in the AI output I posted.

Hollywood is famous for regurgitating the same seven stories.

The Magnificent 7: Master the Universal Story Plots and Archetypes That Power Great Fiction — Killer Nashville

Discover the seven timeless story plots and twelve powerful character archetypes that form the backbone of great storytelling—plus practical exercises to apply them to your own writing projects.
www.killernashville.com www.killernashville.com
In 2004, literary theorist Christopher Booker wrote “The Seven Basic Plots: Why We Tell Stories,” basing his premise on the following seven plots:
  1. Overcoming the monster – An evil force is threatening the hero/heroine and their world. The h/h must slay the monster to receive a great reward.
  2. Rags to riches – The h/h is insignificant and overlooked by others. Because of a trigger event, they are revealed to be exceptional.
  3. The quest – The h/h sets out on a long, hazardous quest, overcoming all obstacles until they reach their goal.
  4. Voyage and return – The h/h travels outside of their comfortable world into the unknown before returning to the safety of their home.
  5. Comedy – A series of trigger events involving mistaken identity or a fundamental misunderstanding that results in hilarious chaos.
  6. Tragedy – A story without a happy ending that ends in loss or death.
  7. Rebirth – The h/h falls under a dark form of control before breaking free and being redeemed.
Regarding archetypes, psychologist Carl Jung theorized that we use such symbolism to grasp complex concepts more easily. He stated: “There are forms or images of a collective nature which occur practically all over the earth as constituents of myths and at the same time, as individual products of the unconscious.” Jung maintained that these archetypes remained unchanged and recognizable and that they exhibit personality traits that are commonly understood.

The 12 archetypes are:
  1. The Innocent – Seeks to do things the right way in harmony, free of corruption or influence.
  2. Everyman – Seeks connections and belonging. Supportive, faithful, and down-to-earth.
  3. Hero – On a mission to make the world a better place.
  4. Outlaw – Questions authority and breaks the rules.
  5. Explorer – Inspired by travel, adventure, and risk.
  6. Creator – Imaginative and inventive, driven to create things with real meaning.
  7. Ruler – Creates order from chaos. Typically controlling and stern, yet responsible and organized.
  8. Magician – Makes dreams a reality.
  9. Lover – Inspires intimate moments with love, passion, romance, and commitment.
  10. Caregiver – Protects and nurtures others.
  11. Jester – Uses humor, irreverence, mischief, and fun to bring joy to the world.
  12. Sage – Thoughtful mentor or advisor bringing wisdom and deeper insight.
