Consider communication between humans and an internet-based artificial
intelligence software.
Assume, if you like, that the humans think that they are communicating with
other humans.
The "electronic characters" learn from human communication and replicate
themselves.
Imagine that they become very good "managers", and that they end up
organizing human activity/production.
How do you see this in the light of the MoQ levels?

Hi Joao,
I have argued this myself, but no-one replied!
Bo does not like it too much as it does not place the MOQ as 5th level.
To adopt a slightly radical tone, i have been toying with the idea that SOM
may be 5th level and your suggestion (6th level)? the first real move towards
a non-human level in the MOQ since the inorganic.
However it goes, the MOQ remains valid, but Humans would be part of a cosmic
moral order.
All the best,
Squonk.
