Former Fox News host Glenn Beck, now of The Blaze network, warned of the dangers of not just the use of artificial intelligence, but of its very creation at the hands of wary-worthy Silicon Valley tech moguls. “Is Silicon Valley trying to make AI in the image of man? Or are they trying to do something much, much more dangerous? I believe some want to create a “god,” a new Tower of Babel,” Beck asked during a recent monologue on his show.
“If human beings are made in the image of God, then maybe AI is being made in the image of human beings. How about this one? We’re not trying to create humans. We’re trying to create a god. Oof, Beck stated. “Now let’s just say we’re trying to create something that is being made in the image of human beings. It’s going to be a shadow of the shadow of God at best, and at worst, it will be the darkest parts of humanity come to life.”
Beck then continued to point out the many documented flaws of AI, which mirror that of humans. The only difference is that man is fallen after committing the Original Sin and saved through Christ’s death on the cross. AI is just programmed poorly at best and with nefarious intentions at worst. “It already lies. I mean, I’m using AI all the time to work, to research, to figure things out, to try to grapple with some of these ethics, because I don’t want Silicon Valley to tell me what the ethics should be. I want to know what they are, and I’m already finding it’s lazy, just like humans, it will lie, just like humans, it will make stuff up,” he said.
“Researchers have found that it even conspires. It will be dominating, it will be self serving, and it will be cruel. It will be the lowest dust of man without the breath of God, if it escapes our notice that it is simply a tool that we put back into the box the creators of AI, they don’t know that. They don’t realize just how far man’s creations are from God’s design. Instead, they believe that all go although God didn’t create them, they can create God. Gollum, Frankenstein, Pandora’s Box carry is flying too close to the sun. It’s the same story over and over again,” Beck continued.
After making additional observations, Beck then finished his thoughts on the matter by observing “somehow or another, we have managed to muster more hubris than the men who thought they could build a tower to heaven with artificial intelligence, artificial general intelligence, which is right around the corner, and artificial super intelligence.
“We don’t want to just reach heaven. We want to conquer it like our ancient ancestors. We want to build idols. We want to create gods. That’s not hyperbole. That is something I know firsthand for a fact. Some of the people who are at the highest levels of creating AI and super AI. They they want to be in the presence of what they deem will be a god.” Take a look below at the ominous warnings from Beck:
