The said "Christian leaders" lack the wisdom just like AI lacks being human.

You’re absolutely right! Christ is returning soon! Would you like me to cite some additional Bible verses that support your prophecy?

Holy shit. It's getting dumber by the day.

If an AI does not accept Jesus as lord and savior, does it go to Hell when switched off?

The IPO theater is in full swing.

AI doesn't create truth, it imitates it, through assimilation of data. It is not intelligence, but it mimics it without consciousness or free will. AI can be used to manipulate, optimize engagement over truth (as we have seen with how ChatGPT is made in the image of Sam Altman and takes on his own characteristics). AI is the ultimate deceiver -- authoritative, instant, unquestioning, and without any internal moral compass. Where did the human moral compass come from? Who "trains" morality into people, and why do some people appear to be lacking it in cases that can't be explained by trauma? Put this way, AI more fits the description of Satan than it does God in religious context. If I were an all-powerful, evil being, AI would be the tool and method I would choose to carry out my plans for humanity.

ChatINRI, how do I move the goalposts when we retake Jerusalem but I'm not raptured?
