Does an AI that poses questions 'possess' them? - AI does not feel emotional tremors

We live in an era where AI poses questions one after another and arrives at answers faster than humans.
But can we really say that it 'possesses' those questions?

In this note, I will re-examine the essence of the act of 'possessing a question' through human sensations such as emotion, discomfort, and fluctuation.
Now that AI is evolving, why don't we take another look at the meaning of us continuing to hold questions ourselves?

"AI cannot possess questions"—many people have likely heard this phrase. I feel like I write it in almost every article I pen involving AI.

However, have you ever thought this?
"Doesn't ChatGPT ask questions often, and can't it answer its own questions?"

Certainly, AI can pose questions. Algorithms for generating questions and the logic to determine "what should be asked next" are already built in with high precision.
Furthermore, it is even possible to create an AI that generates questions about a given theme on its own and endlessly repeats the process of answering them.

Then, does that AI possess a question?

Human questions contain a "fluctuation" that goes beyond whether something is "useful or not."

• A sudden sense of discomfort

• A snag

• A stirring of inexpressible emotion

Questions that seem ambiguous and meaningless, such as "I'm somehow curious about this" or "I can't explain it properly, but I feel like there's something here."
These eventually become the starting point for deep exploration.

AI lacks that "tremor."
The questions AI generates are "appropriate questions" based on context. Based on user input, past dialogue, theme characteristics, and predicted next developments—it outputs the most "plausible-sounding question" based on those statistics and structures.

What exists there is a "formalized question," not a "question itself." There is no "subject that possesses the question."

A question is fundamentally born from "not knowing."

The power to step fearlessly into a state of "not even knowing what it is that I don't know."
The power to trust the "inexplicable discomfort" within oneself.

That resides in emotion and the body, not in calculation.
AI only generates questions that "have meaning."
Humans sometimes stake their lives on questions where they "don't know if there is any meaning."
Herein lies the decisive difference.

A question is not logic, but a tremor of emotion and a fluctuation of existence.
No matter how naturally an AI poses a question, it is merely an 'imitation of a question' or 'playing pretend'.

Humans live while continuing to hold onto the very fact that they 'do not know,' even without knowing what they do not know. We do not even know if we can reach an answer.
AI presents the smartest-sounding answer within the 'range of what it knows'.

The question, 'Does an AI that poses questions "possess" questions?'
The answer boils down to this.

--AI does not have emotional tremors.
Therefore, it cannot yet 'possess' a question.
