AI represents the logical culmination of the drive toward maximizing science and technology -- for whatever purpose, ostensibly to usher in happiness and the coveted manageable and sustainable future. As AI becomes more powerful it will inevitably draw more and more people away from God, which is what the plan was in the beginning. Enlightenment Philosophy, which gave rise to our technological society, turned away from God to start with. But it won't work: the endeavor is no different than the attempt to create the Tower of Babel. The End is near.

Very good post!

Indeed, "Inauthenticity is far more broadly accepted.", the majority works like a sponge, otherwise we wouldn’t be here.

We can’t do much against a majority that lacks thought. Just as we cannot stop the current disaster in small numbers, we will not be able to prevent the loss of artistic opportunities imposed on children, except exceptions, or by the special education of attentive parents and still, each has his personality.

As for the other uses of AI, I am less pessimistic, I do not share the word intelligence, it is misleading, the abilities of programming, combination etc., make believe that it is at our level to see more, which is absolutely not true. But if we have the habit of referring to it for any question or other, without our own reflection, it is possible to think so, since then we do not use our own reasoning.
