...“Increasingly, we turn to A.I. to answer the sorts of questions and fulfill the kinds of longings that religion once solved.” And many people today “treat [AI] with veneration and a little fear, as if it is a god and not a creation.”

Well, that pretty much confirms my view that "AI" is impossible, and what we think of as "AI" is communication with demons; like a high-tech ouija board.
It's literally Necrophilia
"like a high-tech ouija board."
...the entire AI scene leaves me cold...
It'll leave it's practicitioners hot, in hell.

serious question; wondering what Jesus said on the subject?
From there he went on toward the hills east of Bethel and pitched his tent, with Bethel on the west and AI on the east. There he built an altar to the Lord and called on the name of the Lord.
From the Negev he went from place to place until he came to Bethel, to the place between Bethel and AI where his tent had been earlier and where he had first built an altar. There Abram called on the name of the Lord.
Pretty much says it all, really
I'm talking about what Jesus actually 'said'? what words did he use to tell us not to speak to spirits?
10 Let no one be found among you who sacrifices their son or daughter in the fire, who practices divination or sorcery, interprets omens, engages in witchcraft, 11 or casts spells, or who is a medium or spiritist or who consults the dead. 12 Anyone who does these things is detestable to the Lord; because of these same detestable practices the Lord your God will drive out those nations before you.
where would I find that verse? is it from the OT?
Deuteronomy 18, so yes, but since the whole bible is the verbatim word of God, that is also the word of Christ
yes, but there are actual 'words' that are only attributed to Jesus...I would like to know what Jesus said about spirit communication??🤔 Am I missing something? I'm not finding it when I read the Jefferson Bible, which is basically the Words of Jesus...
this is a Q forum, we're fans of JFK.
JFK was fan of Thomas Jefferson.
Thomas Jefferson was a fan of Jesus.
Thomas Jefferson complied The Jefferson Bible because he felt the words of Jesus had been obfuscated over the years. he discusses this in his letter to Benjamin Rush.
his quote from letter below;
"I am a Christian, in the only sense in which he wished any one to be; sincerely attached to his doctrines, in preference to all others; ascribing to himself every human excellence, & believing he never claimed any other."
"To Benjamin Rush Washington April 21. 1803.Dear Sir In some of the delightful conversations with you, in the evenings of 1798. 99. which1 served as an Anodyne to the afflictions of the crisis through which our country was then labouring, the Christian religion was sometimes our topic: and I then promised you that, one day or other, I would give you my views of it. they are the result of a life of enquiry & reflection, and very different from that Anti-Christian system, imputed to me by those who know nothing of my opinions. to the corruptions of Christianity, I am indeed opposed; but not to the genuine precepts of Jesus himself. I am a Christian, in the only sense in which he wished any one to be; sincerely attached to his doctrines, in preference to all others; ascribing to himself every human2 excellence, & believing he never claimed any other. at the short3 intervals, since these conversations, when I could justifiably abstract my mind from public affairs,4 this subject has been under my contemplation. but the more I considered it, the more it expanded beyond the measure of either my time or information. in the moment of my late departure from Monticello,5 I recieved from Doctr. Priestly his little treatise of ‘Socrates & Jesus compared.’ this being a section of the general view I had taken of the field, it became a subject of reflection, while on the road, and unoccupied otherwise. the result was, to arrange in my mind a Syllabus, or Outline, of such an Estimate of the comparative merits of Christianity, as I wished to see executed, by some one of more leisure and information for the task than myself. this I now send you, as the only discharge of my promise I can probably ever execute. and, in confiding it to you, I know it will not be exposed to the malignant perversions of those who make6 every word from me a text for new misrepresentations & calumnies. I am moreover averse to the communication of my religious tenets to the public; because it would countenance the presumption of those who have endeavored to draw them before that tribunal, and to seduce public opinion to erect itself into that Inquisition over the rights of 7 conscience, which the laws have so justly proscribed. it behoves every man, who values liberty of conscience for himself, to resist invasions of it in the case of others;8 or their case may, by change of circumstances, become his own. it behoves him too, in his own case, to give no example of concession, betraying the common right of independant opinion, by answering questions of faith, which the laws have left between god & himself. Accept my affectionate salutations.
Th: Jefferson"
Is somebody trying to bring seances back 100 years after Houdini discredited them? Whether it’s a trained magician or digital AI, it’s all fake.
