A.I.

May 14, 2023

Reflection from the Heart of Allan Redenius

The newest thing that has taken the world by storm is something called A.I., artificial intelligence.  It’s a computer program that can logically think as though it were human.  Much like humans, A.I. learns from experience.  But here’s a big difference between a human’s reasoning and A.I. reasoning.  With humans, there is only a finite amount of learning experiences each human can process and share with another human.  With A.I., there is an infinite number of learning experiences and processes that it can share.  In other words, each A.I. system shares with all other A.I. systems.  A.I. then learns at an exponential rate.  Imagine if one human learned something new and it was instantly shared with 10,000 people.  Scary!
 
Here is one example of how A.I. affects all of us and we don’t even realize it.  Go to Facebook and search for something.  Let’s use a garage door opener for an example.  Guess what?  From then on, all you see are advertisements for garage door openers. Thank you, A.I.
 
When I first heard of A.I. there was hope within me that it would benefit those among us who, like the scarecrow in the Wizard of Oz, have no brain.  I’ve seen people do bonehead things and wonder to myself, “What are they thinking?”  Obviously, they are not.  Of course, don’t we all believe the world would be a better place if everyone, “thought like us?” 😊
 
But now the man credited with inventing A.I. regrets what he has invented.  Like Alfred Nobel, who invented dynamite, he too came to regret his invention as people misused the purpose for which he invented it.  Already someone has programmed an A.I. system to destroy the world.  Here’s the problem, it can’t be turned off.  See what I mean with people with no brains?
 
Now, believe it or not, A.I. just might be one piece of the puzzle for the end times.  Remember, A.I. is all about knowledge.  If you look up knowledge in your Bible concordance, you’ll be directed to Daniel 12:4, a prophecy of the end times.  “….many shall run to and fro, and knowledge shall be increased.”
 
Now you know….
