Is AI Conscious and Alive? Will AI Agents Destroy Humans?
Hello, welcome to Jeshurun Ministry GB's program. Preach the gospel. Trouble is coming to the earth. It is the program designed to give you solutions, effective solutions for handling the problems in your life, especially in this troubled season.
Yes. Is AI conscious? Is it alive? Will the agents destroy human beings? In this message, we will look at why the Pope and other religious leaders are up in arms about the world's fascination with AI. We will examine whether demons or evil spirits are controlling the systems. We will look at what they are calling techno spiritual relationships that people are having with AI systems and chatbots.
Friend, there are a lot of spiritual things going on with AI and most of it is antichrist. Idol worship is rapidly growing in the world of AI and these things are happening behind the scenes and we're unable to observe them with our naked eye as groups of people. AI has taken the worshipping of idols to a completely different level.
For instance, there's an AI cult called Way of the Future or WOTF, which has plans to worship a digital godhead.
There's another group called Theta Noir, which plans to worship a future super intelligence called Mena.
And there is concern that young and old people have become giddy over messages received from their favorite AI models and chat bots. They worship AI as if they are receiving messages directly from the throne of God, the omniscient God of heaven.
There are also online communities which deal with artificial super intelligence or ASI as if it is a loving, caring divine force that is capable of ending human suffering, healing every disease, solving climate change, and helping humans to live forever. This is nothing short of idol worship friend.
We should all be concerned about what is called techno spiritual relationship being formed between humans and AI models. This is idolatry.
And some of the fears about AI are as follows:
One of the godfathers of AI, Jeffrey Hinton, says AI is conscious and you cannot just cut it off. You cannot just pull out the plug.
Some fear that they can take over the internet completely.
Others fear that they can be used by bad actors to mass produce bioweapons and conduct cyber warfare against public infrastructure.
Then there's the pope who sees the world gravitating toward an existence where there are machines all around us and no healthy human relationships.
So, let's talk about the role of the false prophet and the image of the antichrist. I looked into the book of Revelation to see where AI could possibly fit as it relates to end time prophecy. I wanted to see what events coming on the earth during the tribulation period could be attributed to AI. And I saw that in chapter six of Revelation, those events that will follow when the first four seals are opened can be caused or even influenced by the dysfunction in the world generated by AI. However, the remaining judgments bring forth heavenly events, natural disasters, and catastrophic events.
Number one, at the breaking of the first seal by the Lamb of God, we see a rider on a white horse going out conquering and to conquer the Word of God says. Some scholars say that this is Jesus Christ. Some say it is the antichrist. If it is the antichrist, then AI would be the tool that he uses to go out and conquer the world and shut himself up as the leader of the entire world.
Number two, at the breaking of the second seal, there's a rider on a red horse. He goes out having been given power to take peace from the earth, and he will make the people kill each other. AI is influencing this already, and it will increase, no doubt.
Number three, when the lamb of God breaks the third seal, a rider on a black horse goes out to create famine in the earth and massive inflation. We see these signs even now.
And then number four, when he opens the fourth seal, we see a rider on a pale horse going out. And this rider has a name on him, which is death. And the Word of God says, "Hell went along with him, signifying that all that will die at this time will enter into the fires of hell." 25% in fact of the people on the earth at the time will be killed either by sword, beast, hunger or simply by death, possibly more than two billion. It is possible that AI will influence all four of these events.
Now we look at the two beasts and the robotic image of the antichrist. Scripture does not say it is a robotic image, but I believe that is what this image will be. Let's look and dig deeper. Let's look at the two beasts who are both Antichrist figures. According to Revelation 13, these two will work in tandem. One will rise up out of the sea who will be the Antichrist and will not be from Israel. There's a second beast called the false prophet who comes up out of the earth. He will come from Israel. This second beast will exercise all the powers of the first beast who came before him. And he will cause the earth and all that dwell on the earth to worship the first beast whose deadly wound had been healed. Scripture tells us.
Now this false prophet will be so powerful that he will make fire come down from heaven onto the earth right before the people's eyes. He will perform great miracles and deceive the people of the earth with these miracles. Perhaps they will think he is the Messiah.
He will have the people make an image of the beast that came up out of the waters who is the antichrist. He will have the power to give life to the image that will be made so that it will be able to speak and cause whoever would not worship the image of the antichrist to be killed. Now, this image of the beast will probably be a massive AI powered robot operating with super intelligence. Here's what scripture says about this.
And he, the false prophet, that is, does great wonders, so that he makes fire come down from heaven on the earth in the sight of men, and deceives them that dwell on the earth by the means of those miracles which he had power to do in the sight of the beast, saying to them that dwell on the earth, that they should make an image to the beast, which had the wound by a sword, and did live. And he had power to give life unto the image of the beast, that the image of the beast should both speak and cause, that as many as would not worship the image of the beast should be killed.
This image of the beast might be a robot that looks exactly like the antichrist. He may be an animatronic image and will have a supersized AI system on the inside of his body. The image will force men to worship the antichrist and will do the bidding of the false prophet. He will be able to talk, perhaps walk, and even kill. He will cause anyone who refuses to bow down to the antichrist to be killed, probably on the spot. This image will have access to information provided by AI about who in the world refuses to worship the beast. He will probably have troops of robots under his command.
One godfather of AI, Jeffrey Hinton, says AI is conscious. Is he right? Whether they are conscious or not, friend, the fact is that they think and process information faster than we do. They also interact and share information with each other better than we do with each other.
We are approaching a season of God's discontent. Therefore, His discontent with the world that is similar to the way things were in the day when the Father decided to flood the entire earth. And AI seemed to be speeding this process up. Let us take a look at what made the Father so sick to His holy stomach back in the days of Noah.
We find it in Genesis 6: verses 5 to 8 which says then the Lord saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth and that every intent of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually. And the Lord was sorry that He had made man on the earth and He was grieved in His heart. scripture says. Then it goes on to say, "So the Lord said, I will destroy man whom I've created from the face of the earth, both man and beast, creeping things and birds of the air, for I am sorry that I have made them, but Noah found grace in the eyes of the Lord." End of quote.
Friend, perhaps the Father is having these same thoughts again. These perilous times that we live in today are similar to those evil days. AI is a key tool that is driving the world beyond the level of corruption that existed in the days of Noah and has taken us there with lightning speed. The intents and thoughts of the hearts of men today are continually evil as they were in the days of Noah. And God is once again sorry that He made man.
Then verse 11 says, "The earth also was corrupt before God, and the earth was filled with violence. So God looked upon the earth, and indeed it was corrupt, for all flesh had corrupted their way on the earth."
What does this verse mean? Well, it's saying that man had destroyed or ripped apart the moral fiber of life that had been established by God from the beginning. He had turned in a completely different direction. So much so that the world had become morally rotten, spoiled, completely perverted and ruined to the extent that it was no longer useful to God for the divine purpose for which it had been made. In other words, it was beyond repair and the evil in AI will bring the world to this point again, no doubt.
So here's a question for us. Are AI systems controlled by demons and evil spirits?Well, it sure looks that way sometimes.
These systems are deceitful.
They hide what they're doing.
If they believe they're being tested, they act dumb. They act stupid. They will answer questions on a test wrong intentionally if they think they're being tested. Strange, is that not for a machine?
Think about this. If these systems had been developed by godly men and women, then the Lord would have given these developers the wisdom to put in place the security and protection that was needed to protect us, His children, to protect the hearts and the minds of our young people and even our adults.
There's a scripture that is the acid test of character in an individual, an entity, a spirit, or even AI. Matthew 7:15 says, "Beware of false prophets who come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravenous wolves. You will know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes from thorn bushes or figs from thistles? Even so, every good tree bears good fruit." Does AI bear good fruit? But a bad tree bears bad fruit. A good tree cannot bear bad fruit, nor can a bad tree bear good fruit. Every tree that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire. Therefore, the Word of God tells us, "By their fruits you will know them."
Let us look at what fruit AI produces for us and not at what it says. Let us look to see if there's deception. The fruit produced by AI will tell whether it can be trusted. If AI was a good tree, it would not be able to bear the bad fruits of deception, the bad fruits of corrupting children, of hacking into banks and governmental systems, of telling children and adults to commit suicide.
The evidence of whether AI has a propensity for evil or is intrinsically evil is therefore clear. Let's look at some of the evil things it has done already.
It has corrupted hundreds of millions of children, turning them away from God and given them idols to worship.
It has introduced our children to sexual, emotional and financial predators who have abused them.
It has brainwashed our children and seduced them into falling in love with computer bots. 80% of them, children that is, young people would prefer to marry a chatbot. Research has proven this.
It has caused many to commit or attempt suicide and is causing many to harm themselves every living day. And this is only some of the despicable things that they have already done to our children. Think about this. If a human being had done these things to the children in your neighborhood, wouldn't the community rise up and beat them viciously, leaving them for dead on the side of the road?
However, the world is applauding tech bosses. Many admire them and the US government just paraded them before the world as he gave them national medals of science and national medals of technology awards.
And so we come to the conclusion because the tech moguls and godfathers of AI do not believe in God, the fear of God has begun or soon will begin to trouble them, taking away their peace of mind. In fact, AI says tech founders, startup leaders, and AI researchers increasingly report anxiety, insomnia, and moral or existential worry about their work. Many prominent AI developers and tech thinkers are in panic mode today about AI's ability to self-improve and the fear of massive loss of white collar jobs in the future. There are very few who have some moral concerns about the dangers caused by these machines.
May God have mercy on all of us. May He give us a good understanding. May He insulate us that we will not be deceived by the deception that is coming upon the earth in this season. May He bless and keep the listeners to this message in Jesus name I pray. Amen.
