It is made by multiple people. AI is kind of a misnomer since it is less AI and more advanced machine learning. The big players are all the tech companies. Microsoft, IBM, Apple, Nvidia, ...
Surely these big corporations have my best interest at heart! No way they put the acquisition of money over morals! I have no doubt they respect the individual liberties and freedom of others.

Have you ever made a mistake in your life and only realized the severity of it later? What if you're wrong about this?
“How will this ‘mistake’ that I’ve made, affect my life?”, I’d ask myself

I am extremely suspicious of AI. Sure, that could mostly be based on ignorance of how it works and my inability to fully comprehend what it's doing internally, but its still made by a person. So who makes it?
Just imperfect men. And so it would not be surprising that AI has displayed some bias. People have been testing it and showing clips of all the various answers it gives them.

The ground, the sky (c.f. Sky funerals, cremation) rivers/ocean or if they are very very rich deep space?
I ask the same question about this regarding your assertion in post #53. What if your wrong about this?

Most are lost or are mislead unfortunately, then there are those who are very educated and ever worse off, Romans 1:22 talks about them.
“Don’t be smart”?
Is this from the God Who is purported to not be the “author of confusion”?
“Here’s a great big brain, now don’t go about actually using it!”

Now if AI could be programed to follow, lets say the dictates of sermon on the mount only, then the world would be a much better place.

One would have to define smart and by whose/what standard, we are to be wise but not in our own eyes.

Why cant we make that decision ourselves though?

There's too much on the internet to sort by hand. This is why many parties are interested in using AI to improve search and filter out disinformation.

I have encountered this problem myself. Doing research on the internet in the past couple of years has been alot harder because of the sheer volume of commercial traffic and social media sites. At one time, the Internet was more focused on actual information.

Thats a matter of faith, which is fine.
2Ti 3:5 having the appearance of godliness, but denying its power. Avoid such people.
2Ti 3:6 For among them are those who creep into households and capture weak women, burdened with sins and led astray by various passions,
2Ti 3:7 always learning and never able to arrive at a knowledge of the truth.

Rom 2:6 He will render to each one according to his works:
Rom 2:7 to those who by patience in well-doing seek for glory and honor and immortality, he will give eternal life;
Rom 2:8 but for those who are self-seeking and do not obey the truth, but obey unrighteousness, there will be wrath and fury.

Using AI to improve control you mean.

But then who decides what is/isnt "disinformation"? Should we trust such people?

AI can be trained to detect disinformation.

The alternative is to simply be swamped by garbage and be unable to separate out anything.
