(two) ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE ? – WHAT IS AI GOOD FOR—QUESTIONS


First Question:
WHAT IS AI GOOD FOR ?

Second Question:
WHAT DOES AI DO THAT WE CAN’T DO ALREADY ?

Third Question:
DO WE REALLY NEED AI ?

Fourth Question:
WHAT IS AI TELLING US ?

Fifth Question:
WHAT IS AI NOT TELLING US ?

Sixth Question:
WHAT IS AI DOING TO US ?

Seventh Question:
WHAT WILL AI DO TO US ?

Last question:
WHAT IS AI BAD FOR ?

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.

(one) ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE ?

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.




And, you can find my goal played out clearly in fourteen years of writing on this site.
“Making A Difference In Your Life In The Parts That Are For Keeps.”

? MORE ADVICE THAN EVER ?

In recent decades, why do we have so very much ‘new’ Information Counseling than ever, for living and parenting and being Christiams ?

A universal trademark of all the resources and interviews with ‘experts’ on life and family—they are all presented with a mandate that everyone must get this ‘new’ insight, because we never could know this information before.

The universal, obvious question—how in the world did we make it in the past
without all these helps and answers for questions we weren’t asking ?

It seems like (we think) we can avoid learning through God’s ‘old-fasioned’ methods of discipline, if we get ‘this new book’ that tells exactly what we didn’t know.

I just listened to another presentation on parenting (also offering a ‘how-to’ book)—don’t protect your children from failure or consequences or simple ‘no’.
Yet in our relationship with God and His parenting us, we expect to avoid such discomfort. •

This leaves us with a dilemna of guilt and doubt whenever things don’t go right.
What went wrong because I didn’t do it right, according to . . . ?

If we experience trouble, we turn to all these resources to see what we’re doing wrong—and we miss God’s hand directing every detail—our Heavenly Father using discipline to bring us closer to Himself, because He loves us so much !

“Don’t miss (avoid, reject, despise) God’s ‘adjustments’ (rebukes, corrections, detours, re-directions) in our lives; remember whoever the Lord loves He chastens, and scourges every son He receives.”
(Don’t let modern translations and teaching dilute or
diminish that Word of God.)

We American Christians believe we should not suffer so much, because we know so much.

  • There are times when the Parent’s job is to make the child regret what he did.

Final question :
Is the Bible not enough anymore ?

“MISTREATED” – “DISGRACED” – “REWARDED”

What does it really mean to follow Jesus ?

  • respectable addition to my life
  • fire insurance
  • avoid tribulation
  • escape “great tribulation”
  • good for business
  • good P/R, mostlyl

NO !
THAT’S NOT WHAT THE BIBLE SAYS !

What does it really mean to follow Jesus ?

(1)Choice
(2)Consequence
(3)Conclusion

If you make the (1)Choice to sincerely follow Jesus—give up the temporary pleasures this sinful world offers . . .•

You will experience the (2)Consequence of that decision—
— MISTREATED like other persecuted Christians (around the world today, and through history).
— DISGRACED for being a ‘Jesus follower’, hated by everyone, everywhere.

— REWARDED, by Jesus, with Jesus, seeing Jesus—greater than anything in the world.
You see the goal, the (3)Conclusion of your choice

  • By faith Moses ★chose★ to be ★mistreated★ with God’s people, rather than enjoy the “pleasures of sin”¿ for a season in Egypt, as adopted son of pharoah’s daughter.

IS ‘I’PHONE THE ALL-AMERICAN ‘I’DOL ?

Interesting—iphone and idol begin with “i”.
Does that tell us something of a connection ?

Perhaps we should consider what makes an idol, and see if the iphone, or any cell phone, qualifies as an idol.

(1) — An idol can be a statue or carved image that a person gives homage or special attention, with expectation of protection and blessings in return, acknowledging supernatural qualities with the idol.
(2) — An idol can be a person with so much power that he demands worship as a god.
(3) — An idol can be an unknown and unapproachable deity that makes followers perform unimaginable acts and rituals in hopes of pleasing it and appeasing its anger.
(4) — An idol can be an intangible entity that calls for, and consumes, a priority of our time and attention.
(5) — An idol can be something that we ‘can’t live without’ (we could, but painfully).
(6) — An idol can be identified and measured by what we do, or feel, or say when we lose it (do we ‘lose it’ when we lose it ?)
(7) — An idol can be what we treasure most or work hardest to acquire.
(8) — An idol can be another person, or ourself, or what we are capable of, or what we have accomplished.
(9) — An idol can be something we would not give up, or give away, to help someone less fortunate.
(10) — An idol can be any priority we pursue, with sacrifices over the top.

We might conclude that the above examples of idols don’t apply to us, and can’t possibly have any connection with our cell phones.

Maybe so, but we’re not done analyzing what idols have in common—and how people respond to their idols.

— Idols have power over us, voluntary on our part, or involuntary.
— Idols call for, and get, a significant portion of our time or energy or money, or all three.
— Idols entice us (however innocently), and we get accustomed to dependence and allegiance.
— Idols can be like drugs, with godlike control over us.
— Idols take priority over relationships, and come between us and those we love (loved).


Can the reader scrutinize each item above, with your cell phone in front of you ?
Re-read slowly, one at a time.
I leave the application to you, to make any changes necessary.

(I hope this has been a word for thought for someone.)

(8) STAY ALIVE¿ – or – LIVE☆

Axioms of life

Lessons learned¿ from feminism:

“I had to take the advancement opportunity and return to work sooner than planned, after my child was born.”

or

MOTHER—the ultimate advancement opportunity, with no regret.

DO YOU NEED GOD’S PEOPLE ?

“It is uncomfortable to attend public worship for those who are satisfied with themselves.”

SO, YOU’RE A DOCTOR

You are in the operating room.
The patiemt is ready, for a heart transplant.
It is time to begin the surgery.

Everything is in place.
It is amazing how every detail for the success of the operation is perfectly prepared.
Others have pioneered in the medical field to bring this patient and you together so you can save a life, and the patient can live a new life.


And then:
You realize the extreme complexity of everything before you.
You have to be in awe of it all.


Actually, you were placed in this setting without any effort or choice or decision of your own.
For a moment you think it is a dream, but no, it’s not.
You know it’s not a dream.

Then you wonder how you got here.
You wonder how everything was prepared so perfectly, just for you, for today.

Then you think:
Maybe it’s a dangerous time to think, to reflect.
You don’t have time for anything philosophical.
You must stick with scientific, medical.
You must not be distracted by anything.
The operation before you requires all of your undivided attention, now.


The thoughts will not go away.
The feelings are real—as real as the operating room and medical personnel and patient before you.

You are shocked, when the reality of your musings overrides the reality of your obligations.
Everything is suspended—time, the schedule, the operation, the people in the room, your own presence and qualifications—
You suddenly must have answers.

You need a manual–
— that tells exactly how all this meticulous preparation took place, just for me to participate in a professional role to save people.
— that tells me what I’m supposed to do, and exactly how to do it.



The ‘doctor’ in this story is like all the rest of us.
We find ourselves placed in this incredible setting, with so very many details already figured out and made ready, just for us, so we can do incredible things.

Then we stop and think:
How did all this happen ?
And how did it all get started ?

To perform this heart transplant, or design a computer, or build a spaceship to the moon, there must be some amazing people before me who pioneered in the field, successfully.

But how did people get such intellect and insight for such ingenuity, in the first place ?
As in, “In the beginning . . .

Like the doctor (without any medical training—or with the best in the world), we all face the wonder of it all.
How in the world (and everything in the world) did all this happen ?
How in the world does all this keep working in perfect order, for thousands of years ?

Did God really say what He said, in the Bible ?
YES, He really said everything in the Bible.
And the devil really said, “Did God really say, ‘Don’t eat that fruit. If you do, you will die.’ Not true. You will not die.”

Eve and Adam ate, and they died, and we’ve been dying ever since.

How could they ? ? ?

How could anyone today believe in evolutiom and teach and defend it for centuries ?
Again, the Bible explains all that,
“The fool says, ‘There is no God’.”

The doctor stopped, to think, and he knew there had to be God, to make all this, and make all this work, and make us able to transplant a heart.

THROWAWAY NATION

We have enormous man-made mountains outside our cities.
Impressive monuments—
to what ?—
to whom ?—
created wth what ?—

OUR TRASH !

We have become so accustomed to throwing away a dozen pieces of trash from a fast-food meal . . .

We have become so accustomed to throwing away food that hungry people would appreciate . . .

We have become so accustomed to throwing away what older folks have to offer, learned from a lifetime of experiencing reality . . .


All that—“becoming so accustomed to throwing away”—now we are ready and willing to throw away everything else, hanging in the balance, plus or minus:

  • or — our economy, based on capitalism
  • or — our history, based on the Declaration and the Constitution
  • or — our Godly heritage, from founders that openly stated dependence on “Divine Providence”
  • or — our family values, passed on to generations, essential to the strength of this nation
  • or — our very families, literally, and the emphasis to keep families intact at all cost
  • or — our children—our future as in every generation since our beginning, now thrown away to the demonic dogs of abortion and gay and transgender ideology

And,

  • or — just about everything that made this country great, by the blessing of God

AND NOW,
We have become so accustomed to throwing away . . .

We are ready to
THROW AWAY AMERICA


The more stuff, and people, we throw away, the less valuable everything becomes, and the more likely to see the trash can.

CREATED WHAT ?

“In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.”

6000 years later, man (part of that creation) said, “No, God did not create everything.”
After that bold and foolish statement, then answer the question, “Where did all this come from ?”

In order to avoid accountability to God the Creator, man invented evolution to explain where all this came from.

Actually, evolution does not answer the question, “Where did all this come from ?”

Evolution just tries to explain what ‘someone’ said ‘could have happened’, after it all started—without God.

In the absence of ANY scientic evidence, promoters of evolution had to invent a more recent addendum to Darwin.
If given enough time, the existing can create anything.

Now we expand even beyond evolution, and teach, “Anything, everything came from nothing.”
Describing what happened a billion years ago, two billion years ago is laughable, ridiculous, blasphemous, from the pit of hell.
So we hear, and we believe another lie—and the fallout is destroying us.

The proclivity, the tendency, of human nature is to hear, to listen, to doubt, “Did God really say ?”

When you consider the magnitude of destruction and fallout from two centuries of universal teaching, believing, and acting like we’re animals (evolution personified)—
—the devastation rivals what happened the first time “the liar” presented that question of all questions to the first people, “Did God really say ?”

When we can’t answer the question, “Did God really say?” with a resounding ‘Yes’, He did!”, we open the door of every evil, old and new.
— the rise of communism, naziism,
two world wars, terrorism, can all be linked to the endorsement of evolution a couple hundred years ago.
— and the church, Christians, were silent a couple hundred years.
