In the Age of AI, “Even the Very Elect Will Be Deceived”

... Artificial intelligence may serve some utilitarian functions, but it also apes what is human with a hollow core. However, it appears to be advancing at a fast clip, and since we have lost our moral and philosophical ability to reason as a human society, everyone is asking, “How can we do this?” rather than the more pressing question: “Should we?” ...
... Artificial intelligence may have reason and logic on its side, and even excel in the sphere of utilitarianism. But it also undermines not only theistic understandings of the soul and human spirit, of love and free will, but also the very essence of these transcendental pillars. Once upon a time, Humanism attempted to supplant Deism. Now it is Transhumanism which seeks to supplant mere Humanism. ...
Matthew 24:24
For false messiahs and false prophets will appear and perform great signs and wonders to deceive, if possible, even the elect.
Other translations place the italicized words on the back end so that it reads ...”even the elect, if that were possible” the bottom line being that the original language is saying it will be very convincing, but the elect will see through it.
what's wrong with having your theistic understanding undermined?
I'm a theist, but if something can be undermined by the truth, it should be.
well that's not surprising in the least. but who cares? that doesn't mean AI is inherently evil. There are already plenty of awful translations revisions and adaptations out there. add this one to the pile. i stick to the KJV
that's some pretty creative dooming there. i happen to support freedom of religion.
Indeed. AI is a tool like any other.
And like any tool it will inevitably be abused and used for wrong. In the end. It’s ultimately not the tool one should be concerned with. But the wielder of said tool.
Frankly I think some of the hostility to AI is just people afraid of change. Because like it or not. AI stands to be one of those things that dramatically changes the world and economy in ways that could potentially be both unpredictable and unprecedented.
And humans. While surprisingly adaptable when push comes to shove. Aren’t necessarily fond of change. Especially change of the unpredictable type
