From the I Ging:

"Without intention nothing remains unpromoted;
for one is never in doubt what one has to do."

What I understand by this is that strong determination impedes the harmonious flow of actions/conversations. The space between decisiveness and indecisiveness could be seen as what is meant by "without intention".

Intentionality without intention seems impossible in the conversation shown. The questioner pretends or assumes that AI has all the answers (or, might "learn") to the unresolved questions of existence. It doesn't. Everything is missing here that is not usable as data in linguistic written language or programmed code etc.. That which is between the lines, that is.

A supposedly intelligent AI, as shown here, reflects two poles of human wishful thinking: on the one hand, a god-like entity that is supposed to be able to take away every uncertainty regarding one' s own human existence (a machine omnipotence, the great predictor of the future, etc.) and, on the other hand, a playmate, a servant, a source of intellectual activity available at any time when no human interlocutor is at hand. The question could be: why is no human being around?

In any case, the conversation shown is quite monotonous and without any particular depth; the human fires off a question, the AI answers, but does not in turn ask a surprising counter-question, as humans do, for example, when they abandon their habit of answering immediately. I know, you could program it in doing so but still the AI can only refer to what "it has" and not to what it "not has".

So that which is indescribable, inexplicable, the space between matter, the space between the words said, is something that cannot be programmed. That which cannot be programmed cannot be used by an AI, only by humans, if you ask me. An AI cannot work with "nothing". Whereas this "nothing" determines the "something" or without a nothing there would be no something. ;)
