This is a dated video that I hadn't watched before and it's interesting because in it Elon Musk explains why he's so concerned about unregulated, wide-open, for-profit AI and it's not because of a future Skynet or Terminator or Westworld scenario like I've been saying all along is not a realistic scenario. At about 16 minutes into the video, Musk explains that an AI may learn to write narratives "incredibly well and convincing" that will mislead people because the AI is self-learning and self-teaching which means it will fine tune its narrative to maximum effect and mislead many by impersonating a real person on social media and it will go undetected because it's learned how to avoid detection. And "it may influence public opinion in a way that's very bad."

That concern makes sense to me. I predict many will react to this maintaining that this AI may be the actual anti-Christ of Scripture. I do not agree with that conclusion but I can see that a future antichrist would use AI for his evil purposes.

Tim adds:

I went out to dinner last night and a guy at a table next to us was pontificating on Trump. He was worried Trump will be re-elected. But he was going on about how Trump is in big trouble over the documents business and he referenced that tape where Trump is supposedly colluding to subvert Federal investigators. I didn't bother to tell the dope that there was no underlying crime and that is why they went with the Espionage Act, since the Presidential Records Act says what Trump did was perfectly legal. But the point is that tape may well hyave been doctored, and it could indeed be a deep fake. We are going to reach a point where we don't know what is true or real with this rising AI technology. It will depend on who controls the machine, and we all know the Left is much more into this sort of thing than are we. Those who seek power will abuse it and those who can be trusted with power generally don't desire it.

Yes indeed. I am mindful of Rev. 13:15 "And he had power to give life unto the image of the beast, that the image of the beast should both speak, and cause that as many as would not worship the image of the beast should be killed.” Notice it's an image, not the Beast himself. So the Antichrist may use computer-generated images to promote himself, but he's still a man, not a machine. On the other hand, perhaps the Dragon of Revelation refers to an AI? I know it's a symbol of Satan, but often the sumbolism in the Bible is multi-faceted. I don't know but it is clear that this technology will be abused at some point.
