The entry of artificial intelligence into the field of Persian texts opens a new horizon for a deeper and faster rereading and understanding of the mystical literary heritage and provides the possibility of interpreting the hidden layers within these texts. The term “sea”, which in the works of Attar Neyshaburi symbolizes the infinity of the divine essence, the boundless depth of knowledge, and the stages of spiritual journey and conduct, is examined in this study by comparing its literary meanings with the interpretations produced by advanced language models (such as GPT-4, Cloud, etc.). The main goal is to examine the literary, metaphorical, and cognitive differences of this term in the two literary and machine semantic systems. Although artificial intelligence can produce poetic images and facilitate text analysis, it lacks the intuition, deep spiritual experience, and inherent mystery of these texts. This limitation creates a fundamental gap between human understanding and the output produced by the machine. This study shows that despite the similarities in similes and metaphors, AI is unable to reproduce the semantic richness found in human intelligence. This shortcoming highlights the need to reconsider the application of AI in mystical literature. Nevertheless, AI can serve as an effective tool to support the research and analysis of mystical literary texts and be used as a capable and intelligent assistant in discovering hidden patterns and meanings
