Stupid analogy after stupid analogy. The printing press merely let us mass-transmit ideas on paper. The whole point of AI is to be able to imitate the human mind, through a neutral network created via software and data training.
I have no problem sitting by while fools use AI to create inherently doomed works of art and prose.
The point of AI as we know it (LLMs) is to mimic human text with the greatest accuracy. Simulating the entire mind is besides the point, wasteful and not how LLMs (or any AI for that matter) works.
If you want your biblical analogy to stick you should make sure you're up-to-snuff on the technical side first.
People assigned it capability beyond its ability. That's the entire problem with AI. It is not intelligence. It merely mimicks it. What atheists call human intelligence is actually an ability we have because we're God's images. Making something in our own image and calling it a god is deeply biblical and culminates in Revelation 13:15.
Revelation 13:15 is about deception, not innovation. The passage is about a false prophet breathing life into an image to deceive the world. AI isn't deceiving anyone—it's an advanced autocomplete machine. The only ones fooled are those who choose to believe it’s something more than that.
If AI is the golden calf, then so is every other human-made creation that people have ever revered. The argument doesn't hold because it isn't about AI—it's about human nature.
