Who is that man behind the curtain? I suppose it is always people that are the ones to be feared. If they choose power and darkness then that is how AI will be educated and that is what is scary; artificial “evil” exposing its intelligence to the masses on unprecedented scales. How many of us really still have enough faith to believe and access our free will, the only part of us besides our soul that will keep us connected to the earth and to each other, but above all to our faith and God. I understand AI is not evil yet nor will it have the scary demonic face; if only it would appear like that, we would all use our God given wisdom more often and with greater trust.

I think you identify the most pernicious aspect of AI - it appears harmless but it slowly erodes self reliance and our willingness for inquiry unassisted by expertise encapsulated in an algorithm.

Thank you for the kind words.

I don’t fear AI, I fear what people will do with AI. And that is bestow it with qualities it doesn’t possess to convince we don’t possess good minds to think for ourselves.

Any tool can become a weapon if held the right way.

Yep. My wife has started baking sour dough bread and we needed a new bread knife. She got a new one. Super sharp. Cuts the bread nicely, effortlessly. But don’t brush up accidentally along it serrated edge it will cut you easily.
