Is Ai tempting us to play God?

AI is just an information technology. Like computers before it, AI allows humans to manipulate and process data much, much faster than we could without it.

Yes, given that humanity is corrupted, humans will almost certainly use AI for corrupt purposes. But that does not mean we Christians should avoid using the same technology for legitimate purposes (e.g. to more efficiently spread the Gospel or to make a living or to save time etc.). Otherwise, this will be the latest in a long list of examples where Christians missed the boat, and lost ground to the world, because we gave in to the fear of new things.

These are my thoughts exactly. There are a lot of ways in which AI can and even will be used positively, like any other technology. I don't doubt that AI will be used in some horrible ways, but we only need look as far as Hollywood to see what happens when a given arena is largely abandoned by Christians.

Almost everything "man made " can and often is used to for evil .... the gun was made to help hunting for food yet how many are killed by this ( at the use of man ) ?   Nuclear bombs came  from an experiment aimed at helping mankind getting into space was to help mankind but ended up with so much junk and spy satellites I am not sure how much help it has been  yet without it we would not be debating this now .

At the start of the industrial revolution people screamed that machines would destroy mens livelihood and cause famine around the country .  Cars were thought to be evil and men waving a flag had to walk in front of them to warn people that danger was coming   yet how many of you would be happy to live in a world with NO machinary and NO cars and NO tv /computer/phones etc 

Have faith that what man turns to evil God can use for good 

I lived in a world with no tv,no computers or smart phones and I survived. In fact it was quite nice back

then. But if you go back to no cars you are going back to the 180o's and before that. Some technology

is ok such as the electric stoves and refrigerators and dishwashers but there is a limit to how

far man wants to take technology.

actually, God is removing all knowledge ... so AI is ceasing as well...

and if you asked people in the 1800's if you should have dish washers and washing machines etc they would have been horrified ... use all that water when you can do it by hand .   I too lived in a world that my grandchildren cant believe was possible but by the time they are grandparents I have no doubt things we thing of as being evil will be common place ( unless God knows differently )

People in the 1880's may not be horrified but it was so out of their understanding they would probably laugh.

Some people who were very conservative might look down on technology for the future but some would

think it would be great.

The Amish live in a world that you describe. No cars, no computers,no cell phone etc. Although they have gas

run washing machines. The Amish think that those who are Englishers(that would be us) are too much

into worldly things and that can lead to evil. Some of the things the Amish adhere to I agree but

some things I do not.

Data centers to operate AI require a great deal of energy and I suspect the powers that be plan on charging the general population for the cost - not the large corporations researching advanced AI systems. Are you prepared for an increase in your energy bill? 

Just another COL increase on top of all the others so that those that do get representation in gov. can excel. (That is, large corporations).

Knowledge will cease:

1Cor 13:8 

Rev 21:1-5

Isa 65:17

Some contend that the earth will be renovated but according to God's Word 'all things will be made new' ... God is going to make all things new cf. 

Isa 42:9

Isa 48:6

Isa 66:22

2 Peter 3:13

 

1.            new things, Isa 42:9  Isa 48:6

2.            new song, Isa 42:10 (cf. Rev 5:9 Rev 14:3)

3.            something new, Isa 43:19 (cf. Rev 3:12)

4.            new name, Isa 62:2 (cf. Isa 56:5)

5.            new heavens and a new earth, Isa 65:17 

                        Isa 66:22 (cf. 2 Peter 3:13)

 

The "new" day (cf. Rev 21:5) was, in reality, the day that God always wanted for humans, but the Fall in Gen 3 caused a terrible disruption! It is surely possible that the Bible's imagery of heaven is a restored Garden of Eden (cf. Rev 21:2 ).

The real awesomeness of God's Word is that Jesus said this:
Mark 10:14 (KJV)

[14] But when Jesus saw it, he was much displeased, and said unto them, Suffer the little children to come unto me, and forbid them not: for of such is the kingdom of God.

When one considers the fulfillment of all this prophetic issuance and Paul's s/Spirit addition 
1 Corinthians 2:9 (KJV)

[9] But as it is written, Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love him.

We, entering the eternal estate, shall find that each and every one of us is exactly as a child as all things, in New Heaven and Earth, are completely made new ...
Revelation 21:5 (KJV)

[5] And he that sat upon the throne said, Behold, I make all things new. And he said unto me, Write: for these words are true and faithful.

Does this verse mean that knowledge will increase in the end times?

Daniel 12:4

“But you, Daniel, shut up the words, and seal the book until the time of the end; many shall run to and fro, and knowledge shall increase.”

The old heaven and earth will be burnt up at the begin of Great White Throne
Revelation 20:11 (KJV)

[11] And I saw a great white throne, and him that sat on it, from whose face the earth and the heaven fled away; and there was found no place for them.

After the GWT judgment God begins His eternal state of GOOD...

Revelation 21:1 (KJV)

[21:1] And I saw a new heaven and a new earth: for the first heaven and the first earth were passed away; and there was no more sea.

[2] And I John saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down from God out of heaven, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband.

[3] And I heard a great voice out of heaven saying, Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and he will dwell with them, and they shall be his people, and God himself shall be with them, and be their God.

[4] And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away.

[5] And he that sat upon the throne said, Behold, I make all things new. And he said unto me, Write: for these words are true and faithful.

Verse four is the removal of all that existed in first heaven and earth creation -'ALL'- 
Eternal state begins verse five...
