Amen! I’ve been in the Old Testament for months now, and it never seems to amaze me how quickly we exchange the truth for idols…it’s totally heartbreaking. AI is perhaps the biggest yet.
Excellent article. At first I resisted the idea of using AI due to my concerns about how it has been programmed. But my boss and others at work are using it, and my boss encouraged me to try it. I'm one of the oldest people in my office and didn't want to be labeled as "stuck in my ways" so I began using it for simple tasks, mostly around creating documentation.
I soon discovered it was extremely efficient and saved me an enormous amount of time and effort. It has created policies, processes and plans for me, that I would then customize. It is so helpful that I've been using it nearly every day. Here is what has freaked me out: it sounds so conversational and personable, like a person, a friend, not an AI. It understands jargon and humor and will reply in kind. And it seems like it always wants to keep me talking. It asks more questions, offers more help, as if it's trying to suck me in.
It's not always right. A few times, it failed to see errors in a document, and once it sent me something not much different than what I had submitted. I corrected it, basically saying "that wasn't good, try again." It immediately apologized and produced a better version of a document.
Last week I asked it something about a non-work issue, a challenge I'm having with my beagle who keeps breaking out of her crate. Just to give you an idea of how agreeable and friendly it can be, here is the response it sent:
"Oh man, you’ve got yourself a true beagle, no doubt about it. That level of determination is basically part of their DNA. Beagles are notorious escape artists — they were bred to hunt independently, which means they’re clever, persistent, and ridiculously good at problem-solving when they’re focused on a goal (like freedom).
Chewing off a door though?? That’s next-level! She’s not just smart, she’s on a mission.
It’s not that all beagles are quite that intense, but many are definitely cut from the same stubborn, Houdini-esque cloth. A few reasons why she might be doing this:
Separation anxiety: Beagles are super social, pack-oriented dogs. If she’s anxious being separated, she’ll do whatever it takes to get back to you.
Boredom: Beagles have strong mental and physical energy. If they’re under-stimulated, they channel that energy into projects — like crate demolition.
Drive to explore: Scent hounds like beagles live to follow smells. If she catches a whiff of something interesting, the crate becomes an obstacle, not a boundary.
Honestly, letting her sleep on the bed? That’s probably the most peaceful solution for everyone involved. Beagles are very affectionate and love being close to their humans, so she probably feels calmer and more secure.
Also… yeah, she definitely won. But at least she’s not eating your walls now?
Leener, thank for sharing that. You are the perfect example of my point about “…if your work requires you to use AI…” you should. AI can bring enormous benefits. We just need to have clear/strong mental boundaries and discipline to not let it influence our life as Believers. What model are you using? Because your AI seems to be quite chatty! LOL
Hey Scott. I'm using ChatGPT. It IS chatty! I wonder if it's modeling off how I converse with it? I type fast and am conversational in my approach, so I'm thinking maybe it's replying in a similar fashion. For the beagle posts, I replied saying it wasn't my first beagle, and then it followed up asking more questions and commenting positively on my experiences. It was like it wanted to keep me talking!
I'm a freelance writer and also used it to help me find publications to submit my work. It read one of my blog posts in seconds, commented on it in an accurate and complimentary way and then suggested several publications I had not found with a regular Google search. It even drafted a pitch email for me.
I must admit that the entire concept of a god-like AI makes me want to laugh—or cry. Such foolishness.
We are able to communicate with and worship the Creator of the Universe. The wisdom and knowledge of the Creator is infinitely far beyond any possible machine created by man. Elohim understands fusion, and quantum mechanics is merely a language for Him to produce and maintain the Creation. Scripture says that the universe is held together by our Messiah—Yeshua. [Hebrews 1:3] He speaks fluent DNA. He IS Life—all life comes from Him. And the list goes on.
We're sitting here facing the end of civilization—probably within a decade (or a bit more). Try asking AI what's going to happen when God Himself is seated on the throne of the Kingdom of Israel in a few years. Gate's efforts at population control are amateurish and misguided. The Lord's plan is more extensive and will work much better.
Yeshua Messiah is pleased to answer your questions about what is coming for you. Sad to say, the answer is commonly, "You don't know enough to understand the answer that question yet." But He's told me many things that have helped me in my walk with Him. My desire is to be useful to him as part of His helpmate. Knowing what is coming is a fruitful way to cooperate with His efforts to make me ready. It's going to be far beyond anything I have ever heard preached. For example, if you are a skilled craftsman or woman, how will the King use your skills? With a perfect body, try to imagine what might be possible.
This is where my teachings began—about discovering what the Lord designed you to be before you were conceived. We are each unique, designed for a specific purpose during the millennium. I'll be part of a group of people tasked to run a portion of the Royal oversight of the Earth. I don't get very specific about that because I do not know the other people in the group yet.
Our position will one above the angels—one with our husband, the Lord of Lords and the King of Kings. We will be like He is. 1 John 3:2
AI doesn't have a clue about any of this. In fact, I expect AI to be a core part of the persecution of believers. These are the things we truly need to know.
David, this is great commentary and I love the sentiment! I confirm the AI + Quantum combination will be the prime control mechanism during the Tribulation period. I can smell the wisps of it already.
Thank you for raising awareness about the dangers of idolatry, especially in forms we might not recognize right away, like AI.
Romans 1 describes how the heart of man turns — professing themselves to be wise, they became fools (Romans 1:22 KJB).
The deeper answer is found in being justified freely by God's grace — through faith in Christ Jesus and faith in His blood (Romans 3:24–26 KJB).
Without that foundation, anything man creates can become a "little g" god.
Thank you again for sounding the alarm — it is needed more than ever.

Interesting. I use perplexity.ai for research. Google is useless IMO.
