Someone said we worship what we fear.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Fear God – – – Worship God.
Fear Artificial Intelligence – – – Worship Artificial Intelligence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Man creates Artificial Intelligence—greater than man’s intelligence that created it ?
Most people don’t accept that, except the creators who are proud of their accomplishment.
Who said it can’t be done ?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The individuals, the forces, the evil forces, behind artificial intelligence want people to fear AI and worship AI, because that is an effective means to gain power.
As long as AI does not turn on their creators.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
– – –<\/p>\n\n\n\n
— We create something—we ascribe divine power to what we created—we worship what we created.
And we get in trouble, because God does not approve.
How stupid ?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
— Babel
Man created a tower ‘high enough to reach God’, to match God, to supersede subjection to God—creature created something with power above God (so they thought)—they worshipped what they created.
And they got in trouble, because God did not approve.
How stupid ?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
— Golden Calf
Israel created a gold image because they got tired of waiting for Moses and God.
They said, “This is the god that brought us out of Egypt.”
And they danced and got drunk . . . and worshipped their new god.
And they got in trouble, because God did not approve.
How stupid ?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
— Artificial Intelligence
My, how we have come a long way, so advanced with technology, ‘progress’, with decades of expecting no limits to faster and better and smaller to do more.
We must have a new frontier to keep people from getting bored or impatient or revolting.
AI fits the expectation, fills the vacuum\/need for a new god—we’re ready to give it power and worship.
And we will get in trouble, because God does not approve – – – of anything that takes away from worshipping Him.
How stupid ?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
– – –<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“They worshipped and served the creature more than the Creator.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Haunting question comes to mind over and over:
What if the created becomes greater than the creator ?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
God has that taken care of, from the beginning, in His creation.
Nothing He created ever overpowers God.
The devil tried, and didn’t.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Not sure if God limits us, prevents us from creating something beyond our control.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I guess we’ll see soon enough—everything is moving so fast.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
