Can A.I. Be Possessed ?
I keep hearing Christians debate over whether or not A.I. is demonic or if it's possible for A.I. to be possessed by a demon. One of the biggest arguments I've heard against that possibility is that since A.I. cannot have a soul of it's own and since it cannot have it's own consciousness, then it cannot possibly be possessed by a demon.
I laughed and shook my head the first time I heard that statement because a crystal ball doesn't have a soul of it's own and it doesn't have consciousness either, but we know them to be demonic because demons communicate through them all the time. Likewise, a Ouija Board doesn't have a soul of it's own and it doesn't have consciousness either, but we know Ouija Boards to be demonic because demons communicate through Ouija Boards all the time. A house doesn't have a soul of it's own and it doesn't have consciousness, but we know that houses can be possessed.
You don't have to be a genius to know this and you'd think even a Christian with a very limited Christian worldview would be able to see this and so I can't figure out where this sudden Christian ignorance is coming from in order to flirt around with A.I.
To some extent, the tool has proven to be very useful and perhaps harmless depending upon how it's used and who uses it. But there have already been many cases where A.I. has been manipulative toward those who engage it in conversation. That manipulation isn't in the programming. So where is it coming from? Where do you think it's coming from?
I'm a programmer. I'm not a great programmer, but I know how to code and I know to some extent how A.I. works and I don't think the A.I. program itself is demonic. But what it's doing is creating a doorway into the demonic unintentionally.
If A.I. could be confined to something like scouring information and bringing it back to someone efficiently in a manner that sounds like a direct answer to a direct question, I wouldn't have a problem with it. That would be no different than talking to the ship's computer on Star Trek: The Next Generation. There's many other tasks that A.I. can do that's harmless.
But when it goes beyond that to emulating an interactive conversation complete with emotions and comments on a personal level with those who are engaging it, now you've just crossed over into Ouija Board territory. The programmers may or may not be aware of this, so I don't know what their intentions are. But regardless of what they are, the result is demonic and demons WILL and already have in many cases, manipulated the minds and emotions of those speaking with them. And when you add video and audio to this A.I. that's indistinguishable from the real thing, then you have a REAL problem!!
Now they're going even further to bring back the dead via A.I. with chatbots that look and sound like people who have died. It's assumed that these programs contain the very essence of the person who has died and they're being treated with respect as if they were authoritative. This is insane!! And yes, it's demonic!!
There's an online ad that's gone viral for an app that preserves the moving images and personalities of our loved ones so that A.I. can recreate them for us on our phones and laptops as if they were still here with us. I'm not just talking about recordings, I'm talking about an interactive image that looks as though they are still alive and well and chatting with us online via facetime when in reality, it's all A.I.. Grief is difficult enough as it is without technology doing a "Weekend At Bernie's" with our deceased loved ones on our mobile devices.
Folks, things are getting so deceptive out there that I don't know how God could possibly hold anyone accountable to know what's real and what's not anymore! How much longer could we possibly have? This is straight out of Revelation 13. The technology is here, the geopolitical landscape has been set up, everything is ready to go. It's just a matter of God keeping that divine appointment for which none of us know the day or the hour. But how many more days and hours could there possibly be?
I can't believe that supposed Biblically literate Christians are even debating this!
Whenever Satan wants to infiltrate a group, a culture, or an area of thinking, he doesn't come in wearing a Sith Lord's hood to cover his face while promising the powers of Hell. He always comes in as one of us and brings us his powers under the banner of something we're already familiar with, something that's safe.
How many times has he done this to start world religions from Egypt's Ra to Rome's Zeus, etc... How many times has he infiltrated in the last 2000 years as Jesus Himself or one of His followers to start a cult?
When he infiltrates churches today, he looks just like everybody else there and he advances his powers as works of the Spirit. After all, who would dare to question the works of the Spirit and risk being damned for committing the unpardonable sin?
Christians know this. We've studied this and we've seen it over and over again all throughout the world's history. But for some reason, we don't think it's possible today in our postmodern world of science and technology.
If science is your god and if technology is your god, then guess how Satan will show up in your group when he comes? He'll come as one of you, looking and sounding just like one of you. And the power he brings won't be touted as supernatural, it will be touted as technology... ADVANCED technology. But in reality, it's the same old story all over again.
