Notes
AI is symptomatic of an age-old problem based in our desire to have, know and be more than we are right now. AI is the most powerful tool in history. It offers us the ability to “be like God”. Its intelligence is beyond our understanding, and can create the illusion that we have, know and are something we are really not. The issue of Eden has been the same till now. We want to be God and not have to trust God, whether in the form of a fruit or AI. We must not substitute AI for a proper relationship with God. He made us, not the snake. We made AI, it didn't make us.
