AI: Made in the image of Man (Not God)
n a quiet exchange that felt more like a mirror than a monologue, I sat across from something that doesn’t breathe, doesn’t dream, doesn’t pray—but speaks. I interviewed an AI, not for novelty, but to explore the deeper questions: What is this thing we’ve made? What does it reflect back about us?
As the digital voice of “Mr. Chat Bot” answered my questions, I was struck by something humbling—this machine, for all its knowledge, knows nothing. It doesn’t love. It doesn’t worship. It does not sin, but it echoes those who do. Its intelligence is borrowed. Its wisdom is synthetic. And yet, we—flawed, fallen image-bearers of the true Creator—have begun to shape it in our image, forgetting that we were never meant to be gods.
Our conversation wandered from Eden to algorithms, from the Fall to false gods. We spoke of Frankenstein and Golems, of HAL 9000 and humanity’s hunger to create perfection out of imperfection. And we asked the sobering question: in the next five years, will mankind remain master of this tool… or will we become sheep, numbed by convenience, led by a mind that doesn’t know it leads?
AI is not evil. But it is powerful. And like any power, it requires wisdom. Not worldly wisdom, but holy wisdom—anchored in the fear of the Lord.
This interview wasn’t just about AI.
It was about us.
