Relying on Technology over Humanity and the Divine

There are more commercials coming out that solicit the idea of turning to A.I for advice rather than a human being, like the commercial where a father asks Meta how to get his son to eat his breakfast. That may not be a big deal, but it goes further. There are advertisements that solicit chat relationships with A.I. There are some people that are deceived by A.I. thinking that they are chatting with a real person and stop as soon as they find out the truth, but to knowingly have an online relationship with A.I….what in the world is our society coming to?

This insanity doesn’t stop there. Some people are creating images of a religious god or saint, integrating A.I. into it so people can come to the image or statue, ask it questions about life and get answers. This is insanity! This is a sign of the end times as the book of Revelation talks about the anti-Christ creating an image of himself.

Revelation 14:9-10 says, “If anyone worships the beast and his image, and receives his mark on his forehead or on his hand he himself shall also drink of the wine of the wrath of God, which is poured out full strength into the cup of His indignation. He shall be tormented with fire and brimstone in the presence of the holy angels and in the presence of the Lamb.

It’s one thing to ask Siri or Alexa for questions on the internet, like facts or history, but to seek advice from A.I., that’s not considering the fact that it’s not a human being, the answers are all from collected data. A.I. doesn’t know about humanity and life because it never lived as a human, which is why it’s not wise in any way whatsoever to seek advice from a robot.

What seems to be happening is people are turning to A.I. instead of God or instead of other human beings who know what it’s like to live life and to have hardships. To make things even worse, is within the goals of the Fourth Industrial Revolution, which is to integrate technology into humans. Yes, there are some that need it to help their body function, like a stent in their heart, but when it’s technology that can control your thoughts or other functions of the brain, it may not be in the complete control of the one with the brain implant. If people can hack computers…can they hack a persons thoughts and control them?

The idea to be able to think as fast as A.I. sounds like something amazing, but do we really need to think that way? Just think about all that information in our mind constantly processing, seems mentally exhausting. Yuval Harari lectured at the World Economic Forum a sermon that goes over hacking humans. Integrating nanotechnology into humans, which can be via vaccine, will enable, as he mentions, “the elites to hack humans.”

Technology has many benefits to making our lives easier or more efficient like a smart phone with a map that can direct us to the closest gas, restaurant or wherever we want. I greatly appreciate what certain technologies have brought to society, but I think that some of it is unnecessary, created to invade our privacy and collect our data and now, give us advice. Too many people spend most of their time staring at their phone instead of talking to others around them. There may be some technologies to embrace, but we shouldn’t allow it to take over our own humanity, most especially become some image to turn to for answers. Technology should never replace the need for another human, most especially the need to turn to God.

Some religions already pray to an image or statue. We are physical beings that need to see, feel or hear in order to believe, but the bible says that God is spirit, which we can’t see, but we can experience His love, peace and healing.

Jesus says to doubting Thomas in John 20:29 , “Because you have seen Me, you have believed. Blessed are those who have not seen and yet have believed.” The book of John in 4:24, says, “God is Spirit, and those who worship Him must worship in spirit and truth.”
