Artificial intelligence is changing our world at a pace that is absolutely breathtaking.  If you would have asked me a decade ago if I would live to see artificial intelligence create a world class piece of art or a full-length feature film, I would have said no way.  But now those are simple tasks for artificial intelligence to accomplish.  So what is going to happen once AI becomes millions of times smarter and millions of times more powerful than it is today?  Given enough time, AI would take over every area of our lives.  Our world is definitely crazy right now, but fifty years from now it would resemble something out of an extremely bizarre science fiction novel if AI is allowed to continue to develop at an exponential rate.

Unfortunately, only a very small minority of the population is even concerned about the potential dangers posed by AI, and that is a problem.

Needless to say, the growth of AI has enormous implications for our economy.

AI can already perform most simple tasks much better and much faster than human workers can, and multiple studies have concluded that millions of jobs are at risk of being lost.  The following comes from Fox News…

So what would happen to all of the workers that would no longer be needed once AI starts taking over most of our jobs?

I think that is a question that all of us should be asking.

Artificial intelligence also threatens to transform our personal relationships.

“AI girlfriends” are proving to be immensely popular with young men, and we are being warned about the “severe consequences” that this is likely to cause…

Who wouldn’t want a “perfect” relationship?

In the real world, people have flaws, and so there is no such thing as a “perfect” relationship.

So if AI can create a girlfriend that is ideal for you all the time, I can see why a lot of people would be attracted to that.

And this is really happening.  In fact, an AI girlfriend that is based on a real life social media influencer already has more than 1,000 users…

Of course it isn’t just lonely young men that are getting pulled into this world.

In my next book, I discuss a woman that has actually married her AI boyfriend, and she insists that she is happier than she has ever been before.

But what is the cost?

What will this do to our society?

There is already a raging epidemic of loneliness among our young men, and it is getting worse with each passing day…

AI is also starting to be used in our churches.

Last month, a Methodist church in Texas made headlines all over the world when the pastor conducted an entire “worship service” using AI technology…

This is so wrong.

But it is inevitable that more churches will start doing this.

Pastor Cooper asked Chat GPT to create an entire service for his congregation, and it spit out “prayers, a sermon, and an original song based on the sermon itself”…

But what kind of “spiritual content” should we expect from a machine?

Ultimately, all AI programs are going to mirror the values of those that created them and those that are using them.

In this case, current societal values were clearly reflected in this “worship service”.  The following is how the “sermon” began…

Seriously?

Several politically-correct buzzwords are used within the first six sentences, and it is obvious what this AI “sermon” is trying to communicate.

Of course this wasn’t the first church service that was created by artificial intelligence.

As I have written about previously, the very first church service that was created by artificial intelligence was conducted at St. Paul’s Church in Bavaria, Germany…

It is just a matter of time before more churches jump on the bandwagon.

And other religions are now making use of cutting edge technology as well.

If you can believe it, multilingual robots have been deployed at the Grand Mosque in Saudi Arabia…

If this is what is happening today, what do you think our world would look like 20 or 30 years down the road?

The good news, if you want to call it that, is that I don’t think we are going to get the chance to find out.

The clock is ticking, and humanity is quickly running out of time.

So we may never get to see all of the horrors that artificial intelligence would unleash upon our society.

But the changes that we have seen so far are certainly bad enough, but most of the population still does not seem too alarmed by any of this.
