When science meets the poetry of nature

-

Can artificial intelligence (AI) capture the mystery of life—truth, romance, health, and even the divine? Recent discussions in the scientific community suggest that AI can sometimes amplify psychotic thinking, drawing unexpected parallels between natural systems and human imagination.

Dr. Elena Ramirez of the University of Barcelona describes this phenomenon as “the poetic hallucination of algorithms.” She says that AI doesn’t just process data—it reflects human emotions projected onto nature.



Real-world examples: From forests to algorithms

Researchers at the MIT Media Lab have trained neural networks to analyze forest soundscapes. The AI ​​“imagined” that tree growth had a romantic rhythm, sparking a debate about whether machines can generate symbolic meaning.

A startup called NeuroNature AI has created a $49.99 app that claims to interpret birdsong as “messages of health and harmony.” While the marketing is humorous, it raises questions about scientific ethics.

Organizations and companies researching AI + Nature

DeepMind (UK) — experiments with AI models that mimic ecological processes.

OpenAI (US) — explores language models that interpret human metaphors in descriptions of nature.

BioMind Research Institute (Germany) — studies the psychological impact of AI-generated “divine” visions of landscapes on patients with mental disorders.

Supporters and critics

Dr. Michael Green, a cognitive scientist at Stanford, argues:

“Artificial intelligence can help us see nature in new symbolic layers, inspiring art and even therapy.”

But Professor Aiko Tanaka, a psychologist at Kyoto University, warns:

“Romanticizing AI interpretations can blur the line between science and pseudoscience, creating dangerous illusions.”

The cost of combining AI with nature

While AI-powered apps, programs, and environmental tools range from $10 meditation apps to $5,000 research software, the real cost is not just financial. It lies in how we balance scientific truth with romantic imagination.

The United States’ withdrawal from the World Health Organization has significant implications.

As the largest contributor, the United States has provided nearly $988 million, or 14 percent of the WHO’s budget. This funding has supported critical health programs around the world, including efforts in Europe, the Middle East, Ukraine, and Sudan. The lack of U.S. support threatens initiatives to combat diseases such as polio, HIV/AIDS, and tuberculosis. Experts warn that the United States will face reduced disease intelligence capabilities, leading to worse health outcomes. At the same time, China’s influence at the WHO is set to grow. The country is systematically preparing for international leadership, with 90 percent of its top universities launching programs to prepare students for careers in international organizations by 2027. This strategic move allows China to fill positions at the WHO vacated by the departure of US staff, thereby expanding its role in global health governance. The US withdrawal not only has funding implications but also has broader diplomatic and economic ...
