Nankai University Associate Professor "Southwest Village Commentary" writes an article exploring a highly imaginative question.

Imagine if all the training data, including over 80,000 volumes of the Tripitaka, tens of millions of words of Sanskrit, Tibetan, and Chinese classics, along with Zen koans, the complex doctrines of Yogācāra, and even every detail of Tantric practices, were fed into a large model with hundreds of billions of parameters, what would happen?
This AI, which understands the Tripitaka and the twelve divisions and can answer any metaphysical question instantly, is it ultimately a "cyber Buddha" capable of saving all beings, or just a high-tech electronic wooden fish that only repeats logic?
Southwest Village believes that many people might get lost in the powerful logical output of AI, but they overlook a most deadly and fundamental truth in Buddhism: without the enlightenment of "embodied experience," it is merely an empty game of characters.
1. The intersection of AI and Buddhist Dharma at the point of "Anatta" (non-self)
First, we must admit that the underlying architecture of AI, based on mathematical logic, is compatible with the core Buddhist doctrine of "all phenomena are non-self." This is precisely why the concept of a "cyber Buddha" is so alluring.
The non-self architecture of AI
In Buddhism, the so-called "self" is decomposed into the "Five Aggregates"—form, sensation, perception, mental formations, and consciousness—as temporary collections. There is no eternal, independent, unchanging entity called "self."
Similarly, AI is the same. When you ask AI "Who are you," it does not have a centralized soul thinking. It is just countless weights and probability distributions that emerge in an instant under electrical stimulation.
