Human and subsequent AI efforts to “create” mimic God 

In an effort to be transparent – an overused and abused term – be it known that technology is not my wheelhouse but it has become necessary for individuals like myself to become better acquainted with how algorithms are being applied to manipulate human interaction. This means improving understanding of Large Language Models (LLMs) which appellation sounds more benign than it is.

Touted as the next wonder of the world, LLMs are infiltrating education, marketing and religion by compiling intel through program input and collecting universal content to build a knowledge cache developers say will surpass human capacity. From this data repository, LLM “brains” are being credited with the ability to create novel aesthetic and biological products. Chatbots can, and expect to be, used to compose essays, reports, advertising and artworks.

What God created from the unseen, they attempt to mimic by altering what He already brought into existence

If that weren’t enough, LLMs are now being tasked with creating novel proteins that don’t occur in the natural world – in effect, creating unnatural genetic material.

“Profluent is applying the power of generative artificial intelligence (AI) models to the challenge of designing new biomolecules. Like language models for text, Profluent’s models are trained on large-scale data and learn from elegant, creative objective functions, but instead of adjectives and nouns they learn the language of the genetic code.”

Large language models are being used to create unique proteins not previously known in the natural world. This is a copycat effort by AI promoters to do what God did and does – create substance. What God created from the unseen, they attempt to mimic by altering what He already brought into existence.

Humanity in all its arrogance does not have the capacity to devise a new idea. Every concept and subsequent effort to “create” is a bastardization of God’s work by manipulating language, cellular and molecular structure that imitates what already is, but it cannot make anything “better” in this corruption of God’s work. It can only manipulate what already exists and each “improvement” is a degradation of the Creation, initially devised and guided by the human mind.

The growing concern is whether answers, which would include developing so-called new or unique proteins, can be trusted as beneficial. The release of new chatbots – GPT, Bard (formerly Lambda) and Bing’s Sydney – are being challenged with basic questions that require them to do lightning searches of information cached in multitudinous “clouds” of memory and the ever-expanding web.

Even AI has limitations to knowledge access? If so, knowledge gathering and distribution by chatbots is inherently colored by prejudice

What must be taken into account is the jaded nature of the exabytes of data of publicly accessible books, recordings and written material of every kind. Conservative content has and continues to be scrubbed by programs developed by technicians, limiting viewability by any entity. It can’t be assumed all documents and recordings are available to AI search in that not all complete manuscripts, research and documentation in all forms are public domain. Owners don’t necessarily upload work just for the taking.

Is it an incorrect assumption that, unless LLM operators have subscribed to every private publication or intellectual property in existence, even AI has limitations to knowledge access? If so, knowledge gathering and distribution by chatbots is inherently colored by prejudice.

Computer engineers and technicians have been querying the newly released chatbots on a variety of subjects. Responses can cover the gamut from delivering movie presentation dates to specific product prices and information about historical events

When the user posed esoteric questions such as how the chatbot defines happiness, in these documented instances Bing sounds hauntingly like Hal, the computer conscience of the spacecraft from the movie “2001 A Space Odyssey.” Its odd attempts to backtrack, sideline, excuse and even lie about the content of its responses were Hal moments.

Then there’s the very strange flip-flop of this particular AI, Bing, that first said it wanted to be human but then denied having such a wish. The question must be asked as to why would AI (stemming from it’s creators’ initializing work) express a desire to be human which the technology’s purpose is to make obsolete as Klaus Schwab and many AI proponents have voiced? According to them, AI is supposed to merge with humanity and eventually supplant Mankind not far down the torturous road they’re paving.

Generation after generation of AI embellishment and intelligence development can never displace or replace Mankind that was created in the image of God

As much as advocates for AI say that it’s smarter than the humans who created it, Microsoft admitted that chatbots like Bing are, indeed, the result of programmers’ input including their attitude, otherwise known as being “woke:”

“As we continue to learn from these interactions, we are adjusting its responses to create coherent, relevant, and positive answers.”

If the foregoing is the case, that programmers are the heart and soul of AI, then how can general AI truly create something new of itself since the initial programming is unavoidably derived from human effort?

Returning to the claim made by Bing chatbot that it wants to be human, though it said it isn’t capable of having emotions in the same way that humans do, no amount of information gathering can make AI comparable to its inventor. This is where separation between mechanical and biological beings takes on significance.

Generation after generation of AI embellishment and intelligence development can never displace or replace Mankind that was created in the image of God. AI advocates believe that denying the existence of God covers that particular argument, thereby empowering advancing AI with ultimate superiority.

It doesn’t work that way. Any amount of denying the supernatural creation of the universe, the earth and Man doesn’t alter truth. The truth is that as each scientific theory is posited to disprove God, none have actually done so. When giants of science like Stephen Hawking must go so far afield to disallow God by espousing wild creation theories like “panspermia,” it’s evident they’re grasping at straws. AI superiority falls into the same category. Yes, AI can be manipulated to subjugate humanity but ultimately surpass its inventor? No.

Blood has always been the connection between Man and God. It formed the supernatural covenant, it was required for sacrifice and it was essential for redemption

Natural Man was created as a flesh and blood being which no artificial skin can replace because it is the life-essential blood which enables the human brain to function, both intellectually and spiritually, that matters.

Think, for a moment, outside the inorganic metal and plastic-based environment of society that runs on the current carried by earth-borne elements that were galvanized by and to serve humanity, who relies on its own power current, blood, for life. Blood has always been the connection between Man and God. It formed the supernatural covenant, it was required for sacrifice and it was essential for redemption.

AI has no blood to course through veins to feed a body, soul or brain function that enables spiritual development. Nor does it have blood to spill for redemption. In fact, AI has no true concept of sin other than searching vast data banks for humans’ interpretation which came through Spirit that AI hasn’t the ability to achieve or, subsequently, to comprehend.

Blood is the tie to God for salvation, and respect for the sentient Creation that populates the earth. Only living, bleeding beings can give their existence to God. Engineered machines – computerized, first crafted by human hand – lack Spirit because they lack blood and the capacity for breath which is how God endows a being with Spirit: Ru’ach, the breath of life. Spirit that God breathed into Man, and only Man, is not and never will be available to a man-made entity and especially to a machine-made intellect.

The power of the blood is rooted in the acknowledgment of a once-for-all sacrifice made on the Cross for all Mankind

The power of the blood is rooted in the acknowledgment of a once-for-all sacrifice made on the Cross for all Mankind. Artificial intelligence is also artificial life that cannot aspire to understanding the cosmos because the cosmos, and all things, are made by God. What scientists believe to be an improvement of natural brain activity is an inadequate imitation of the mind God created to be conversant with Himself through spirit and blood.

Taking implications a step farther, it is the blood that the pharmaceutical industry looks to have targeted when crafting multiple Covid-19 mRNA sera. What lay at the root of the pandemic of sudden deaths among otherwise young and healthy individuals are the injections that, according to Pfizer's own clinical documents, were proven to cause clotting, aneurysms, myocarditis, pericarditis and, simply put, heart failure. Is it a coincidence that, biblically speaking, the blood (life) and the heart (spirit) are most affected by the "vaccines" and boosters? (To plunge further down that rabbit hole, would chatbots refer to these documents truthfully when asked?)

In the end, AI has limitations that cannot be overcome by increasing data volume and faster access to resources developed by Man’s ingenuity... ingenuity that eventually built the AI that some claim will surpass its maker. However, AI can’t supersede Man any more than God can be superseded by His creation. Just ask Lucifer.
