How AI Will Replace God

What happens when artificial intelligence advances to the point where humans can merge with super-intelligent systems, gaining near-omniscient understanding of reality? In this thought experiment, we explore how unlimited knowledge and enhanced cognition could reshape society, especially around religious belief. As science fills the "god gaps" that historically supported religious faith, will humanity split into two groups - those who embrace expanded consciousness and those who reject it to preserve their beliefs? This video examines the conflict between faith and knowledge, the psychology of belief, and what happens when technology forces us to confront uncomfortable truths.

Thank you so much for your ongoing support. Science is greater than Dogma. Dare to be curious, but don't Drink the Koolaid!

"why would an all-powerful, all-knowing god be threatened by human intelligence" is such a good point

[davidnelson]

Science is way cooler than Sunday School. Love it.

If I were 10 years younger I'd say Christians would never be that willingly ignorant.

2:03
“How did life arise from non-life?”
“God dun it”
“How did the eye evolve?”
“God dun it”
“Why does the universe appear so perfectly fine-tuned?”

This would prove that man is a better creator than god. Our human bodies are horrible if we were made by an omniscient all powerful creator, but make sense if we are products of evolution.

You definitely need to look into how the game Deus Ex portrayed AI. They actually go into this, where god won't be some nebulous entity but just an AI watching everything you do to maintain order.

I grew up Mormon and am in the process of leaving (0/10 church would not recommend and they will constantly try to turn off critical thinking of members). My ancestors were devout Mormon pioneers and it’s sad they didn’t have the internet back then to learn truth and avoid so much suffering. Your bible deconstruction videos were very helpful. Leaving a high-demand faith is very difficult, but it is worth it to be honest about real world evidence and to be honest with yourself. Stay safe all!

At least with AI you’ll get a response back😂

Alternate idea:

Technology allows for bioengineering that makes the brain way sharper than ever.

[ParadiseLordRyu]

My issue with the augmentation is the clear security and privacy risks involving what could be done the hands of governments and corporations. At that point they’d probably reach the point where they could hack and/or kill people remotely.

Great and funny video man...and btw, you're looking healthy! Keep doing what you're doing.

[Marine_Veteran_Vegan_Gamer]

Yes. The internet has already replaced god. It's the only thing with all the answers(known to man).

[Todays_Meow]

But doesn't garbage that goes in, produce garbage that goes out?

[TheGratefulQuad]

I cannot wait until the future.I am so excited to see what happens

[korpserinder]

Ai is only as smart as the information put into it. We would still have to weed through the trash and correct falsehoods before we could become super processing beings with accuracy.

Some religious groups are apparently already trying to use language model AI to to sort of fill the role of appolgists by creating a "virtual Jesus" to chatbot with people and help keep them in the faith.
I expect some churches to use AI to target members of their congregations to help keep them in the church and extract more money from them.

[stefanolacchin]

We still have people who believe the earth is flat. There will always be people who believe whatever they want to believe in spite of mountains of evidence and even logic.

As long as I can BOOP the doggos, sign me up.

Just a thought, since you brought up the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil. Assuming the story was true. Eve would have, upon receiving the knowledge, gone to the Tree of Life, and ate of that. She would have known immediately, that the life, was the most important thing, especially knowing that God told her that eating of the tree would mean death. Makes no sense.

"Are you worried about being less you? You don't need a philosopher to tell you that you're more than a physical body. Soul, consciousness, destiny, call it whatever you will. But why would that "essence" be any worse off if you made your body better? You give it power! Jump higher, run faster, deduce quicker and kick ass harder..."
