Google Co-founder Wants to Build AI as a Digital God – Answers In Genesis

According to tech mogul Elon Musk, for some, such as Google co-founder Larry Page, the ultimate goal of the race to build artificial intelligence is to create a digital god, a silicon-based lifeform that would understand everything in the world.... and give you back the exact right thing instantly. Who would have even thought about discussions concerning a digital god just a few years ago? Will this dream become a reality?

Well, since the events of Genesis chapter 3, humans have been trying to create their own gods based on their own wisdom. This was the very temptation that Eve and then Adam fell forattempting to become their own gods. So, its no surprise that their descendants want to do the same thing by crafting a god that, in their view, will solve their problems, answer their questions, and usher in utopia.

But digital AI is developed and programmed by... sinful human beings! So, their god will reflect that! As weve pointed out before, todays AI, such as ChatGPT, is incredibly biased with leftist ideologies because it reflects the viewpoints of both those who program it and the voices it pulls from to answer questions.

Digital AI makes a sad goda god crafted by humans and limited in its abilities by what we can create and program. It wont save anyone, and it wont turn this world into a utopia because it cannot solve the biggest problem every human being hassin!

Its only the one true God who solves our biggest problem. He came to earth in the person of his Son, Jesus Christ, and died on the cross, paying the penalty that we deserve because of our sin. Then he rose from the graveconquering sin and deathand offers eternal life to all who will put their faith and trust in him.

Dont put your faith in a puny, man-made digital god who cant save. Put your faith in Jesus who made us and can redeem us.
