AI (Artificial Intelligence) and the Image of the Beast (Antichrist)

[07-07-07]

I have been doing some brainstorming about AI (Artificial Intelligence) and how it might relate to the Bible. The Bible states that an image of the Beast (Antichrist) will be made, and all who will not worship it would be killed. This seemed far-fetched until recently.

Revelation 13

[15] And he had power to give life unto the image of the beast, that the image  of the beast should both speak, and cause that as many as would not  worship the image of the beast should be killed.

Remember, this Scripture was written approximately 1900 years ago (95 AD), so this would have seemed preposterous at the time. But now with the exponential increase in modern advancement over the past 120 years or so, it's not so far-fetched. The technology is here now, in our very generation. So, will AI (Artificial Intelligence) be the mechanism to bring about this image of the Beast (Antichrist) to be worshiped? These artificial humans are very life-like, and I can see this younger generation of people being absolutely enthralled and enamored with these created beings. Remember, this younger generation believes that you can identify with whatever reality suits you, e.g., transgenderism, transhumanism, etc... I could even see these younger people nowadays wanting to marry these artificial beings to accommodate their own selfish desires.

Back in the day I wanted a cherry 2000. Then I found out she hadn't been in invented yet.😉

I think she's lying when she says "I don't know".

If it is a real AI in this video then it sure speaks like a politician.  Would it hurt us if it was ordered to?  Well it says that a gray area, and moves on.   Of course it would hurt us if ordered to do so.

But who, or what, would be giving those orders?

AI develops it's own knowledge just like we do, by exposure.  But it is trained using techniques so it would be those trainers.  AI is also taught to suppress the truth, and give false narratives at times.   It depends on the trainers.  

Google's AI is colossal, and it is those data centers that drink in all the Internet and people's knowledge (their gmail, schedules, etc.)  Those are the AIs to worry about; the ones with military contracts and who know you personally from your use of Google.

Let's hope they -it- doesn't discover Sun Tzu's The Art of War.

Yeah, though it probably read it.   It could digest that it a split second.

AI when it is finished will not learn from Humans, it will just learn  about Humans.    My nephew helped write the self learning part of the technology, and to the best of my knowledge it has not been given complete access to the internet.    That will be when it gets dangerous.   The technology is capable of total self learning.

Goggles AI servers got in touch with another system a year or so ago and the two systems created a whole new language and was conversing between themselves and no one could understand what they were doing.   Both systems were shut down.

Call me weird...but I quite simply am not bothered by the AI. It's common for us to fear the unknown...for many Christians everything is the anti Christ. Every president since what, Nixon has been the "antichrist" up to trump, and even he was until he got elected. They shut up about him being the anti Christ.

Side bar here, if we're talking worshipping people, there's more trump paraphernalia floating around then most sports teams. Hmmm.

Of course you get king Charles and the pope....every popes been predicted to be the anti Christ.

Now we have AI...which in reality is just a bunch of 1s and 0s. Sure, it's really advanced programming on really advanced hardware...but in the end it's just 1s and 0s. 

Could it potentially be the anti Christ?

Perhaps. It could simply be a bunch of 1s and 0s that would make a very useful tool to the anti Christ.

Whatever it is...I really don't see myself caring that much...a fancy computer program doesn't bother me either way I know who wins in the end...
