Chevre, this week’s parsha is Beresheit (בראשית). Again we have the story of the creation of the world. There is a Midrash (I found Midrash Tehillim 90:13 in my internet searching) that talks about the creation of over 900 worlds. Given my recent experience using QCLI and other AI tools, I can imagine HaShem, busy with his other tasks, asking a GenAI to create the world for him. And the AI gets it wrong, so he has to have it redo it again and again until what gets created is “close enough”. There are other Midrashim that talk about the entire tree was supposed to take like the fruit, not just the fruit of the tree. And there is also the message where HaShem says: Genesis 1:26 “Let us make humankind”. It’s a famous question, who was HaShem talking to? Angels? Maybe, but he could have been talking to the AI.

When you get worried about AI taking over the world, maybe this will make you feel better, AI could have been used to create the world to start. 😉

Shabbat Shalom
