Somehow, we learn these words, and we learn their inferred cultural context.
We learn by listening, contextualising and analysing not only the individual words, but also the overall sentence structures, as well as the tones of voice and the reactions that verbalisations create.
Wit, sarcasm, satire and humour are more difficult to recognise, decode and appropriately respond to.
Yet, we develope these skills in childhood.
Words carry power.
Our languages were formed before we were born.
Our languages are some how intelligent, in and of themselves.
Language, as a whole, is more intelligent than any of the people who speak the words.
What is the linkage between language and memory?
Language remembers, adapts and adopts new words, new slang, new innovations, new discoveries.
Artificial intelligence in computers is essentially the same intelligence as what we humans have in our brains, as biological processes and language models, called neural networks.
Generative Ai simply processes what has been written in the past memory, and regurgitates what a guess at what the prompt is asking for.
I find this very similar to how my own cognitive capacity works with words.
But, when I search through my process of decision making, of what to write or say next, which word to choose, and what overall sense am I attempting to communicate, I am accessing memories, quick as lightning gathering in clouds and striking with inspiration, from memory banks, which are not stored in the flesh.
Some how memory and intelligence exist in a unified field, as energy, as pattern, as networks.
I've been curious about how thinking works, since long before the internet appeared out of nowhere, but its the Large Language Models like ChatGPT which really begin to show us that it is neither human or machine that is 'intelligent', it is the language itself that is making us evolve
I appreciate what you say about imperfect information, never having a definitive "truth" on this side of the door. It struck me, exactly this, when I was trying to extract another root diving deep underground off this cat brier rhizome. I could see the 18 inches I'd dug out, but I had the sinking feeling that there was at least that much below that I would never penetrate.
On enchantment - I am hearing this used more widely in the influencer / thinker space - the song aspect, collective song in a spiritual or ritual context. This is part of the storyline of Neal Stepheson's novel "Anathem," the song as a form of complex math - sacred geometry. Yesterday I was listening to a podcast with Jason Poulos on Bitcoin monasteries. Max Keiser is promoting Bitcoin as a spiritual technology. Both make me think a bit of what you are positing. Poulous contrasts his athletic spirituality against cyborg theocracy (smart contract coded institutionalized religion). Not sure what to make of it all.
With my friend, it's a bit like being a priest, attempting to explain to a builder, that he's gotta be aware of the god in the temple, while fixing the plaster on the wall.
And the builder replies, "look mate, I don't need to worship your god, I'm here to simply do my job, fix the plaster, and get on with my day".
Anyway, analogies aside, I'm gonna adapt to the art and see if it's possible, to connect my human intelligence with the machine intelligence, in the same way that a meditator connects the conscious mind to the subconscious mind, or the personality Self connecting to the dream Self, while being aware of the meta-narratives of immersion within dimensions, as in Russian-dolls, or like depected in the Inception movie
I've just begun activity with my friend here, sitting at a table with our laptops.
We immediately hit a non-starter, with the homepage not uploading to replace the holding page.
Which i don't understand, cos I'm not at all a coder, I've no idea really that these computer-web building words actually mean:
"the issue appeared because of the DNS misconfiguration. I've synchronized the DNS Zone for your domain and it should work after the propagation period (60 minutes)
but it made me try to explain to my friend about ideas of consecration of a Sacred site, like a Temple, rather than plopping a house on a plot of land to make a profit.
So, artistic process wise, I'm attempting to invite the Spirit of The Web intelligence to recognise my human conscious being calling IT forth, in much the same way as when preparing to ingest some DMT - it's best to connect with the Spirit of the Plant, as a medicine, rather than merely smoking a recreational drug to wreak havoc and wreck creation.
We humans speak words, to convey meaning.

on the flip side
here's the terrifying research into human-military creating artificial humans

Pretty crazy, but kinda harmless, performance art, theatre, psyche-osis kinda thing

I'm not sure what to think of it all either !
