Religion

Noah Yuval Harari has declared open war on God by suggesting that AI may soon be able to write a Bible that is "actually correct." Such a new religious proposition is met with mostly blank stares, but Harari is dead serious. Unfortunately, AI is incapable of incorporating mercy or grace into its output.

The Bible will now be parsed by ChatGPT, that is, Artificial Intelligence. Ask questions, it gives answers. But, ChatGPT has no soul, much less spirit. So, it is possible for AI to give meaningful interpretations and spiritual advice to sentient spiritual beings? It would seem not, but that won't stop people from using ChatKJV.

As worshippers confess their most personal sins to an AI "god", it will populate their psychological profile for all to see. This then becomes the mechanism to control and manipulate them to their own harm, as was often the case in historical religious systems. Unfortunately, man has the innate urge to worship and any old image will suffice.

AI like ChatGPT will be totally disruptive on many levels, from white collar worker displacement to journalism. The worst danger is what it will do to the mind and its container, the brain. AI is neither sentient nor human, but billions will take it that way and turn it into objects of worship.

[su_note note_color="#daf2fd" radius="2"]Highjacking evolution in order to become the "intelligent designers" of life on earth reflects the urge of transhumans to become like God. It also reflects their utter contempt for God as the original intelligence behind all earthly design. Regardless of how it is positioned, the transhuman goal is anti-God and anti-human.
