What if it’s not a person but a machine that emulates a person?

The bible says that it will be a man. Also, when people scare you into thinking AI can think for itself, just know that it works by pulling in information (like what web crawlers & search engines do) or having information put in to it by a programmer. For example, if you ask an AI program: Who built the pyramids? It scans all the information that has being added to its memory banks and tells you that a certain tribe under a certain leader built the pyramids. Why? That's what the majority of its input information states, so it answers based on probability. It also can't verify between truth and lies - only information input. That's why it's scary when people trust AI to give them the correct information. I've given this example in a post before but it makes the problem with believing in AI easier to understand: a YouTuber, "Lily Jay", uses her phone to con people into thinking AI believes Islam is the one true religion. She does this by telling the AI on her phone to answer her questions as if it were muslim, so it does - but she doesn't show her audience that part of her con. Anyone can manipulate AI to do that. AI is a machine that can only be evil if humans give it evil input. Google AI now uses "Lily Jay's" YouTube scam as one of its sources of information to answer questions people ask about Islam.
