AI - The Creeping God?
- Thread starter Blank

J D Farag in his Feb 16 Prophecy Update (2nd one on his web page) predicts that AI will be the tool that allows the one world government, one world economy, etc., to come into being.
So far, I have not had any interaction with AI - at least to my knowledge!

Perhaps, if I recall, Farag was also saying the Covid jab was the mark of the beastJ D Farag in his Feb 16 Prophecy Update (2nd one on his web page) predicts that AI will be the tool that allows the one world government, one world economy, etc., to come into being.

Everytime you use Google, AI goes into action
Son and I talked of this in his sermon prep. He can enter sermon search from his "heroes" - MacArthur, Sproul, many Puritans, and ME - and AI researches quotations, outlines, summaries, etc on a given verse/passage in exposition.
It came up in our conversation because AI showed suggested outline of sermon for tomorrow was MINE. And a quote from ME suggested for an introduction.

Wow, maybe back Bob Griffin can become one of his son’s heroes, or a Puritan lol.

I took a class on AI...it's able to search the entire web in a nano second. I feel it's much like anything else...it's how you use it. The internet, social media, forums, drones, and the like can be used for good or bad, right or wrong. In the wrong hands anything can be pretty creepy. This is just my take on it as the class was teaching on how to use AI as an business assistant. I'm not saying it's good or bad. I'm still skeptical, but see some positives...depending on the heart of the one utilizing it.

What about temptation for Christians to upon it rather than God?

Rely upon it for what? Salvation? What temptation are you referring to?
The main concern I see is that it has the potential to radically disrupt society. Mechanization/industrialization did that - as I well recall growing up in Michigan in the 1980s. But that took decades to unfold. AI could move much more rapidly and could supplant vast segments of the working population. As a society, we have no plan for that. And even if we did, you have other actors (e.g., China) who are charging forward as quickly as the the West is.
If you want a fascinating read, I recommend Leopold Aschenbrenner's paper, "Situational Awareness" (free). He worked in-depth on ChatGPT and has some fascinating predictions about where AI is going. It's very in-depth and well-written.

Rely upon it for every day information. But there is also… James 1:5 NASB
But if any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all generously and without reproach, and it will be given to him.
For example, when was the last time we looked to Google for answers?
True, but society as a whole is not interested in God, so if you solve the workforce problem, it would still not solve the godlessness problem, is the bigger problem we face.
I might look into that.

“And he had power to give life unto the image of the beast, that the image of the beast should both speak and cause to be killed as many as would not worship the image of the beast.”
The beast will rule by algorithm inspired by evil spirits, his AI image will be able to speak and control others.
People are increasingly using AI to do their thinking for them and their work. I see this becoming a society wide idol, everyone will consult the beasts AI image for everything. Google, Siri are speaking and answering people’s questions already.
Imagine AI that will cut your banking off, prevent you from buying and selling, cut you off from essential services if you don’t pledge to it and take its mark, and obey its commands. It can non person you in an instant.
AI could be a great servant, but a very terrible master.
Everyone seems connected to a device of some kind today, this is conditioning for the greatest tyranny of all time. Try taking a teenagers phone off him.
However being Christian and forewarned by Scripture of such a scenario, we can prepare for it. First by prayer, and second by practical measures, but all ultimately with trust in God.
How long could you survive if you couldn’t buy anything or pay your bills?
Have you read the scripture, are you paying attention to the signs of the times?

China has already implemented digital tyranny with its social credit system.
Dissidents have been imprisoned in their own homes, banned from certain purchases, banned from public transport, their bank cards will not work at different places. All their purchases are controlled and scrutinised. All managed by algorithm.
The beasts system will be a cashless system, a digital system of perfect and absolute control. They will even give you something to worship.

Perhaps 'image'speaks of 'virtual reality'?
It will be a high tech tyranny, and fully managed economy where people will be paid in plant based food. It will be theocratic communism.
“Then I heard what sounded like a voice among the four living creatures, saying, “Two pounds of wheat for a day’s wages, and six pounds of barley for a day’s wages, and do not damage the oil and the wine!”
The beast will call you by your number, The Lord calls us by name.
