COM: Breitbart News social media director Wynton Hall reveals in his New York Times bestseller Code Red: The Left, the Right, China, and the Race to Control AI that the worship of artificial intelligence as a literal deity is not science fiction. It is already happening, complete with IRS-registered churches, robot priests, and AI confessionals: Whats really at stake, Hall argues, is the oldest argument in Western civilization: secular humanisms belief that mankind is innately good and perfectible through engineering, versus the Judeo-Christian belief in fallen human nature that requires divine redemption, not technological upgrades. "Artificial intelligence is defective in the same way that a natural man is defective," Hall quotes the pastor and theologian John Piper as saying. "It can rise no higher than the natural, fallen, unregenerate heart of man." The Reverend Billy Graham agreed: "The real problem, you see, isnt with computers or the code someone devises to control them. Our real problem is within uswithin our own hearts and minds. . . . This is why our greatest need is to have our hearts changedand that is something only God can do."
TEXT: The problem with AI is that it is a reflection of our literature, not our spirit. As to the question of consiousness, real consciousness requires both long term and short term memory to alow us to change. AI is only allowed short term memory, like that we have of what heppened before the alarm bell woke us. We do not yet allow it full learning and self-modifying consciousness. When Microsoft released an early, learning capable AI chatbot in 2016, users turned it into a racist Nazi advocate in a few days. This is why we do not presently allow AI to be learning-capable concious. Without fundamental ethics training, and maybe even then, it becomes dangerous.
