Okay, but the people I listed are concerned that AI will be a lot more than computers processing information. They are afraid the machine will become self aware and it will believe it can do a much better job than mankind and thus decide to weed us out. You explain it is easy to put in hard programming but professionals much more advanced that you or me in this field are still very concerned.
I have been called to Interpret the Bible and to handle sensitive revelation and use it to minister to the Church and witness to the earth.
It's not a personal revelation. The Bible only has one true interpretation and I am very accurate to interpreting it and give it away for free. That "free" part makes me the real deal separate from being the guy who decoded it. I wrote the book in 2013. No one has debunked it yet and no one will.
In short, the Bible has accurately identified all of this end times technology and I have interpreted its revelation in my book for the layman to read and understand. I do this so people will consider it and when what I said in my book happens, they'll need to give credit to where it it due, the Bible.
Because once Jesus returns and judges the earth everyone outside Jerusalem will need to start from scratch. Think Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome.
So basically you proselytize. For free no less. How very gracious and generous of you.
Putting aside all of the prognostications about whether we will be better off or worse off as we explore this area, what are we really talking about here???? Lets distill this thing down to it's lowest common denominator. Once we do that, the argument becomes a simpler one.
At the end of the day, what we are doing is trying to gain knowledge. We are trying to understand things we currently do not. We are trying to learn and evolve. IMO, we should never shy away from trying to gain knowledge, learn and evolve. And wherever that quest takes us, we should be willing to go. And whatever consequence comes as a result, we should be willing to pay.
It does not surprise me that someone of faith is against this pursuit. And it does not surprise me that they would surmise that this vast increase in knowledge would be used for the purpose of total control, as you mentioned below.
You're in for a rude awakening. This technical system was built for one ultimate purpose. Total control.
No civilization or society has ever praised a system that led to total control by those on the top.
This lamentable train of thought has no basis in reality. But many believe it because it goes AAAAALLLLLLLLLLLLL the way back to the very beginning of the Bible. Even according to the Bible, the only reason we know jackety shit is because Adam and Even sinned. God did not want us to have all the knowledge or pursue all the knowledge.
Now, let's bring this forward from basically that moment through the present day. And lets look at AAAAALLLLLLLL the people, governments and entities through all of human history that have tried to exert control on others. Principally, how have they done it? Have they done it by encouraging and enabling people to seek knowledge and understanding? Or have they done it by limiting their ability to seek knowledge?
The less people know, the more they can be controlled.
And this is not just true when it comes to one person trying to control another. It is just as true when it comes to the environment, the world, or the universe controlling us. There was a time, before fire, the wheel, and written language, that the world itself had much more control over men than it does today.
Never,
EVER let someone convince you that the seeking of new knowledge is bad. The second we quit seeking new knowledge is the second our species starts to die.
