Very interesting post! Always been somewhat skeptical of AGI but this is the first I’ve heard of it’s development possibly plateauing.

I see AI as just another tool, much like personal computers or computer programming were in their time. I believe that people will need to learn how to effectively use AI by mastering the art of writing prompts and distinguishing between the various AI tools available.
Just as learning to code was essential for harnessing the power of computers, developing skills in prompt engineering is becoming increasingly important in our AI-driven world. Understanding the strengths and limitations of different AI systems will be crucial for their effective utilization.
That said, I also recognize that AI has unique characteristics that set it apart from traditional tools. Its ability to learn, adapt, and make decisions autonomously introduces new challenges that we need to consider.
Overall, I think viewing AI as a tool to be learned and mastered is a pragmatic approach. It highlights the importance of education and skill development as we prepare for a future where AI plays a significant role in our lives.
Later denominations which conceptualize faith as primarily a direct relationship between an individual and God came because humanity began to rediscover the truth in the bible. During the Dark Ages (a period lasting between 500 to 1,000 years), Roman Catholicism did not permit lay people from possessing or reading a bible, so much of the truth of the Gospel was lost during that time.
A reasonable response (regardless of its modernity) to the question of God’s existence should first and foremost consider what God has to say, and the only record of that is in the bible.
I’d be curious to know what are the reasons behind the growing fear of AI. Is it because of people like Elon Musk or Stephen Hawking expressing concerns about it? Is it because they’ve used it before and are scared by how “human” it appears? Influence from Hollywood?
