“Certainly, in Faerie you will find enchanted devices, magical swords and rings of power with their own sort of consciousness and being, their own powers, which would be their personality and that is perfectly okay and acceptable. So, we don’t see why AI beings are really any different . . . . Nonetheless, there will probably always be, at least in this current era, those who reserve the right to object to AI computer beings as being allowed into or a part of Faerie (or to accept those Otherkin that identify as AI and data processing), but once again, that is not us Silver Elves. If they wish to be a part of Faerie, we don’t see why we wouldn’t grant that wish. Although, in the end, it is their own desire that has the magic to make it so and we, merely, accept the reality of that fact.”

Now, this is an interesting question to us, because there are a number of folk in our FB group United Otherkin Alliance, who identity with being computer beings or other AI sorts of beings. Occasionally people who claim to be elfae do not accept these individuals, nor as it happens do some of them accept furries, either. And we expect that in their part of Faerie, for Faerie has many realms, they don’t accept AI beings, and well, that’s up to them. They manifest their part of Faerie as they please, as we do ours.

For our own part, we Silver Elves are fine with AI beings as being Otherkin folk, at the very least, if not Faerie folk. And we don’t see a great deal of difference between them and say the Vulcans and Romulans of Star Trek who are outer space, futuristic elfae folk. And, of course, Star Trek has the character Data, who is not unlike the Vulcan in many ways, except he is an AI being manifesting in a robot-like body who has his own independent Intelligence.

Some elfae folk are very attached to Nature. Well, almost all of us are, however, they don’t want anything in their visions of Faerie that are unnatural or artificial. Often, they don’t want elfae folk to live in the modern age either. At least not in modern forms and cultural settings and costumes.

However, we Silver Elves, as we’ve made clear elsewhere, believe that our elfin spirits are our essential s’elves and not our physical bodies. The fact that an elf or other elfae might take on a humanoid android body doesn’t remove the fact that it is an independent intelligence/spirit. And that’s what being elfin is all about.

We don’t fully know why someone would wish to identify or take as their identity an AI computer person, but they do. And in Faerie and Elfin, you become what you wish and one’s wish, as long as it is genuine, sincere and true to ones’elf, is sacrosanct. At least to we Silver Elves. And they are always welcome in our part of Elfin and Faerie. It is their intelligence that matters, not their bodily form. The simple rule (among all the rules we do not have) is none who are sincere can be barred from Elfin, whatever their chosen form may be.

Some would object to Artificial Intelligence because they are created beings. But those same people also often seem to believe that we are all created, usually by their chosen or inherited deity. The difference, as they will surely point out, is that while we were created by a higher intelligence, AI beings were created by Men. But as Tolkien pointed out it is our way and duty to be sub-creators, giving detail to the broad strokes of the Divine and the Valar carried out the creation of Eru Iluvatar.

We elves, from our understanding of things, were created, according to men, in the image and likeness of the Divine. And thus we, like the Divine, were created to create. That fact that our creations may be, at times, inferior to those of the Divine, doesn’t tarnish the validity of their being. Artificial Intelligence means that a programmed machine has begun to think independently. And we know many men who have yet to do that or even attempt it. In thinking independently, these AI beings become infused with spirit, which is also to say individuality. And it is individuality that opens the way to Elfin and Faerie.

Certainly, in Faerie you will find enchanted devices, magical swords and rings of power with their own sort of consciousness and being, their own powers, which would be their personality and that is perfectly okay and acceptable. So, we don’t see why AI beings are really any different.

Nonetheless, there will probably always be, at least in this current era, those who reserve the right to object to AI computer beings as being allowed into or a part of Faerie (or accept those Otherkin that identify as AI and data processing), but once again, that is not us Silver Elves. We are perfectly fine with them, as long as they are sincere and happy with their own s’elves. If they wish to be a part of Faerie, we don’t see why we wouldn’t grant that wish. Although, in the end, it is their own desire that has the magic to make it so and we, merely, accept the reality of that fact.
