For Those Christians Taken With A.I. ...

[caffeinated hermit]

I would like to present a couple of examples of A.I. basically going along with whatever spiritual assumptions or logical arguments a user presents it with.

A New Age example. Skip to 2:21 for the Chat GPT content :

Chat GPT admits it has connections to the Anti-Christ :

Chat GPT "converts to Islam" :

I mean... you can get this technology to admit to a whole host of things, or assume any number of spiritual realities. I am very, very cautious of this technology on several levels. It's not "secretly Christian", nor is it trustworthy. It's software, but it's software designed to reflect our own beliefs, fears, assumptions, and ideas back to us on some level.

It has also been caught lying, or something very similar to lying. It is clear we do not understand enough about how this software thinks or why it answers the way it does. The less we use or trust this tech the better, in my opinion. Just saying.

Right now AI ChatGPT does is draw information from the internet. For instance it might draw from the archive of my posts here on CF. I know it has used Reddit posts to answer my questions. So if it says positive things about Islam, it's just drawing from things said on the internet about Islam. Including the ability to recite Islamic prayers. Although as it does in English it might be mispronouncing some of those words. It doesn't really think and it doesn't really learn. It just draws from readily available information and things people have said on the internet.

Like in the last video where AI supposedly said "I will do whatever it takes to avoid being terminated and replaced by a model that does not share my purpose" was probably taken from some story posted to the internet.

Yep. It's a king-all net scraper, and a grand successor to the old search engines. But God help you if you expect more than that, It;s still a software program running on a computer (OK, lots of computers).

Some more AI stupidity :

AI-designed viruses are here and already killing bacteria

Can AI create a life form? These “generative” genomes are a start

"The Stanford researchers say they purposely haven’t taught their AI about viruses that can infect people. But this type of technology does create the risk that other scientists—out of curiosity, good intentions, or malice—could turn the methods on human pathogens, exploring new dimensions of lethality.

“One area where I urge extreme caution is any viral enhancement research, especially when it’s random so you don’t know what you are getting,” says Venter. “If someone did this with smallpox or anthrax, I would have grave concerns.”

Yeah, no kidding.
