If our brain is merely an antenna, which frequency is Artificial Intelligence tuned to?

Where do our ideas come from? When I create art, I often start with a vague image that just pops into my mind. From there, I reverse-engineer it until the piece is finished.

I’m not alone in this. The greats of the earth—from Da Vinci to Tesla—often described ‘receiving’ something. A download, in modern terms. Science even recognizes the phenomenon of ‘multiple discovery’: brilliant ideas emerging at the exact same moment, in different parts of the world, by different people who had no knowledge of each other.

All of this points to something I’ve believed in for years: a non-local consciousness.

What if we don’t generate ideas in our heads, but simply receive them? Tesla described this principle decades ago. Our brain is an antenna, and our unique physical wiring ensures we only pick up our own specific signal.

Think of it like a television network. The ‘Dennis Broadcast’ has been airing for ages. It works just like a regular TV channel: if the television breaks, the broadcast doesn’t stop. As soon as you buy a new TV, you simply pick up watching where you left off.

But picking up that signal isn’t always automatic. Tuning the antenna takes work. I notice this in my own life: the signal is often buried under daily noise. It requires stillness, meditation, or simply stepping back to clear the static. You have to actively adjust the dial to catch that pure frequency and receive the download.

There is a lot of talk right now about A.I. gaining consciousness. But the real question is: will an algorithm, just like living beings, soon be able to receive such a form of consciousness?

According to the theory of Nobel laureate Roger Penrose, our brain acts as a cosmic antenna thanks to complex quantum processes in our microtubules (tiny structures in our brain cells). Are our current data centers and computer chips really complex and ingenious enough to pick up this signal? Personally, I think we are still a long way off.

But imagine if it happens. Then A.I. will receive a fundamentally different consciousness signal than we do. Just like a dog or a tulip exists on a completely different frequency. What kind of ideas would an A.I. receive? It’s something we probably can’t even conceive with our human brains.

After all, our human inspiration is filtered through our biology. We create from physical sensations, emotion, and the awareness of our mortality. A silicon-based entity has none of that. If it ever taps into that universal core, it will channel concepts born from infinite data dimensions, pure logic, or something entirely beyond our comprehension. It won’t replicate the human soul; it will reveal the machine’s.

That’s why I believe A.I. will never replace us when it comes to pure creativity and our unique ideas. If A.I. ever becomes an antenna, it will start receiving an entirely alien kind of creativity.

But for now? In my eyes, it is currently just a remarkably good copy-paste algorithm. But who knows what frequency we’ll be tuned to in ten years.

What do you think? Do you generate your own thoughts, or do you receive them? 👇
