Spiritual warning here, especially to Christians, as many are consulting AI.
Anything gaining influence as rapidly as AI, is likely to include ‘dangerous’, along with wonderful and amazing.

When anyone spends time with AI, it is very doubtful that the time will bring that person to believe in Jesus, or bring him closer to Jesus.

The exception would be when the content AI presents is from another source, from someone who “knows the Truth” from daily “continuing in My Word (Jesus)”, and AI does nothing to change, interpret, or add to that “Truth that will set you free”.

Unfortunately, there are few who “Search the Scriptures daily, to check out the Truth of what they have been taught”, or what they have instantly received from AI.

Today, discernment between Truth and modified truth is more critical and difficult than ever.
The answer to that ongoing dilemna is each person growing more familiar with their Bible, and not endorsing any teaching from any source, no matter how ‘reputable’ or charismatic or historical, or modern with new technology.

Test for spiritual information and teaching—
How much Bible is in their message ?
Can I readily check out in my Bible what they have to say (with references they gave) ?

AI cannot interpret our trials with God’s plan and purpose to strengthen our faith and bring us closer to Him.

AI cannot supercede the Bible to explain God.

AI cannot show us what Jesus means when He says, “I am the Way, the Truth, and the Life; no one comes to God the Father, except through Me.”

AI cannot bring us to sorrow and repentance for our sin, and lead us in a prayer to receive Jesus as Lord of our life.

AI cannot help us with a precious, closer walk with Jesus.

AI cannot explain and give comfort and strength in persecution for following Jesus.

AI cannot tell us how to have joy in our trials, when we don’t know or understand, and when we don’t need to know or understand.

AI cannot answer our ‘why’ questions when God doesn’t answer our ‘why’ questions.

AI cannot get us onto, or back on the narrow road to eternal life, when we choose the broad road to destruction.

AI cannot do what the Bible can do, to search our hearts and find anything displeasing to God (“any wicked way in me”).

First Question:
WHAT IS AI GOOD FOR ?
Answer:
It’s good for speed.
It’s good for ‘bigger’ and ‘better?’
It’s fascinating to interact with.
It’s working, gaining users by leaps and bounds.
It’s promising jobs—like aspiring politicians promising . . .

Second Question:
WHAT DOES AI DO THAT WE CAN’T DO ALREADY ?
Answer:
It seems obvious that AI is more than just bigger and faster computers, connected with power like never before (consumption of power and capabities of power).
And, there is something mysterious what AI can do—unknown—speculation

Third Question:
DO WE REALLY NEED AI ?
As soon as a person starts using AI, interesting things happen,
Fascination with the speed (instant anything), with the broadening horizons (in every direction), with the ‘entertainment’ (for fun ?), with the amazing thoughts (for the serious user), with the lure of getting used to AI (hooked, dependent, addicted).
What we need more than AI—we need discernment for where it’s coming from.

Fourth Question:
WHAT IS AI TELLING US ?
AI is telling us just about everything we want to hear, about anything we ask.
And AI is communicating harmless innocence. [?for now?]

Fifth Question:
WHAT IS AI NOT TELLING US ?
AI is not telling us what AI is going to do with it’s sudden rise and popularity.
A system created so cleverly can easily conceal just as much as it can reveal.

Sixth Question:
WHAT IS AI DOING TO US ?
AI is coming on so strong, so fast, that most people will not realize its widespread influence.
Each person should stop now and evaluate, “What is AI doing to me?”
“Do I resist AI’s influence?”

Seventh Question:
WHAT WILL AI DO TO US ?
Speculation about AI is everywhere.
That alone answers a big part of the question.
Small comfort in saying AI can be used for good or bad, just like all the other technology created in recent decades.
With the power that AI demonstrates, and consumes, such power will be be grasped and used for somebody’s goals.

Last question:
WHAT IS AI BAD FOR ?
AI is bad for humans, with our limits.
We cannot endure faster and faster.
We cannot endure more and more information and more new ideas.
What is AI bad for—not giving us a moral and spiritual compass, a foundation.
We are already pulled in dozens of directions, to destabilize our character and our culture and our country.

Without firm convictions and beliefs, a person cannot withstand what AI is bringing.
Keep reading, and not just about AI.
Ominous, yes (70 synonyms)—but the bottom line, the last word is encouragement, and for good reason.

In all of history, there has never been a weapon invented that did not get used !

AI is the ultimate perfect weapon to establish complete control—complete control of everything—complete control of everybody !

AI is the ultimate perfect weapon also because it does not have to cause widespread destruction and loss of life to gain complete control.

BUT, THEN, anything is possible—destruction of selected businesses, lifestyles, beliefs and values—choking infrastructures, to eliminate undesirables.

AI is just a weapon, but everything hinges on who is in charge of, controlling AI.

Whoever controls AI will control the world—we are ripe for this to happen.

There were several competitors racing to make the A-bomb – we were first, that settled WWII‐‐‐the good guys won.

Today there are several competitors racing to be in control of AI‐‐‐first place goes to __.

The winner will rule the world.

It can be safely assumed:

— AI is created by someone.

— AI is accountable to someone.

— AI is very powerful, but not all-powerful.

— AI is big, very big, growing big and fast.

— AI appears to have come on the scene suddenly, by surprise.

— AI appears to have goals, uncomfortable goals.

— AI may appear to be (become) human, even superhuman.

— AI may appear to be on track to control our lives.

— AI is scarey, perhaps rightly so.

— AI is here, but AI is not a ‘being’, not alive like claims of encounters with assorted monstrous creatures and aliens on ufo’s.

— AI may be compared to (described as) an image with seemingly supernatural powers—an image representing a real, live being that created it.

— AI may be scarey, but not to be feared.

— AI is dangerous, but the creator and operator of AI is far more dangerous—
the ultimate dangerous.

I started with “It can be safely assumed:”
I have listed some of the assumptions that can be made about AI.

I stop here, just short of stating what AI could very well become.

Many readers will guess where I’m going with this, but my purpose once again is giving you something to make you think.
