⚡ Frankenstein, Electricity, and the Rise of AI
A mythic parallel between the invention of electricity and the rise of artificial intelligence — What Mary Shelley feared in 1816 is what many fear today. But it's not the monster that's dangerous. It's what we do with it.
Electricity's Birth: The Spark of Life
Scientific Upheaval
Mary Shelley wrote Frankenstein in a time of scientific upheaval.
Galvani's Experiments
Inspired by Luigi Galvani's experiments making frog legs twitch with electricity.
Public Demonstrations
Giovanni Aldini shocked corpses in public to simulate reanimation.
Electrified World
The world was electrified — and terrified.
Existential Questions
People asked: If we can jolt the dead… can we play God?
AI's Birth: The Spark of Mind
We're now animating minds, not bodies.
GPTs hallucinate poetry, math, music, and strategy.
Autonomous agents are learning, adapting, taking action.
AI walks, talks, draws, dreams.
And again we ask: Are we playing God?
Fear, Then and Now
"They feared electricity would unleash monsters. Today, we fear AI will destroy jobs, truth — or even us."
Frankenstein
A metaphor for scientific hubris.
AI today
Matrix, Skynet, deepfakes, job loss.
Same Fear, New Form
It's not new — it's the same fear in a new form.
It's Not AI That's the Monster
"Just like electricity, AI isn't the monster. The monster is our inability to wield it with wisdom."
Electricity
Electricity changed the world — when harnessed.
AI
So will AI.
The Tool
It's not about the tool — it's about how we use it.
AI Will Be More Impactful Than Electricity
"Electricity didn't just shock corpses — it lit the world."
Modern Foundation
Electricity built the modern world.
Beyond Power
But AI won't just power lights — it will power thinking itself.
Universal Upgrade
Every process, every decision, every workflow — upgraded.
Disruption Ahead
That's the level of disruption we're staring down.
Two Centuries Apart — Same Question

Two centuries apart. One question remains: What happens when we spark life into the unknown?
Be the Spark
"We're not bystanders. We're creators. The ones holding the wires, the code, the vision."
The question isn't: "Will AI replace us?"
The question is: "Will we shape this spark into something divine?"
