Artificial Intelligence- Man vs God?

1066
Microsoft wants to build artificial general intelligence: an AI better than humans at everything. Microsoft is investing $1 billion in a partnership with OpenAI. The mission? Building an AI smarter than any of us. Do some want to replace God?
“But behold, Satan did stir up the hearts of the more part of the Nephites, insomuch that they did unite with those bands of robbers, and did enter into their covenants and their oaths, that they would protect and preserve one another in whatsoever difficult circumstances they should be placed, that they should not suffer for their murders, and their plunderings, and their stealings.” Helaman 6:21
Are many of today’s Church members and others in this world joining the Secret Combinations? (Many) Have these Gadianton Robbers infiltrated most of society? (Definitely) Should we be cautious of Communism, Nazism, the Deep State, World Governments, and even those in our own Government who lie and cheat our souls for power, influence and money? (Absolutely) Aren’t we today becoming like the destroyed Nephites and Jaredites? (Yes)
Honesty has been Driven from the Government

“On the 11th of October Elder Woodruff assisted in setting apart seventy-five missionaries. At that time eleven Lamanites were ordained to the priesthood. Closing his journal for that year, he said : “The future is before us and great events await us in this generation. The redemption and establishment of Zion, the fall of Babylon, the gathering of Judea and all the tribes of Israel, and the second coming of Christ, are all near at hand.

“This is the commencement of the Centennial year of the American Independence. One hundred years ago the nation was composed of an honest, industrious, Christian people, and the chief men of the nation were poor, honest statesmen, who lived to promote the welfare of the whole people. They established a constitution and laws, which were a glorious legacy to their descendants. By January 1st, 1876, a great change has come over the American government. To a great extent, virtue has departed from the land, and honesty has been driven from the various departments of government. Men seek office to aggrandize themselves rather than to serve the interests of the people. Death and destruction are sown in the land which is ripening for the harvest.” Wilford Woodruff: History of His Life and Labors by Matthias F. Cowley page 489-505

I believe the vast majority of our American Government and the rich elite Globalists who run our Government do not have our best interest in mind anymore. If it was bad in 1876 as Pres Wilford said, doesn’t it make sense that it is worse today? Sure the Lord will win the final battle, but are we enduring to the end?

Great Email

I have a good friend named Jerome Brad Halgren. He made me aware of some very disturbing inventions using the new technology called Artificial Intelligence (AI). The video at the end of this blog is obviously fake, as you don’t see Pres. Nelsons mouth moving and it is a creation from someone called “Vox AI Russell Nelson.”
However, just think of this new technology and how it can make good appear as evil, and evil appear as good. We truly live in the best of times and the worst of times, that is why our prophet has declared, “It is now time that we each implement extraordinary measures — perhaps measures we have never taken before — to strengthen our personal spiritual foundations. Unprecedented times call for unprecedented measures.” Oct 3, 2021 President Russell M. Nelson (bold, underline and color has been added)
My friend Jerome sent me an email that said,
“Deep Fakes and AI Russell Nelson videos made by Artificial Intelligence.
A new video trend is coming among us and growing exponentially and this new tool of Satan portends to be actual videos of President Nelson expounding on church doctrines, history and temple ordinances in such a way as to draw the investigator, the new member, the weak members, etc. away from truth and light.
These videos, so far as I’ve come across, are YouTube’s and so far fall under the production of someone called Vox AI and for the unsuspecting seem very real and legitimate.
This is an extreme problem and evil that is coming among us to destroy testimonies, future investigators, etc. and the Church in general.
Anyway I was quite bothered and scared, to say the least, when I came across them and thought I’d be quite remiss if I didn’t inform you of this new development against the Lord’s Church and Gospel knowing that we are no longer just like in the days of Sodom and Gomorrah but have entered into a likeness of the Days of Noah.” Jerome Brad Halgren(Very appropriate words.

AI-generated fake videos are becoming more common (and convincing). Here’s why we should be worried

What is a deepfake?

Have you seen Barack Obama call Donald Trump a “complete dip…”, or Mark Zuckerberg brag about having “total control of billions of people’s stolen data”, or witnessed Jon Snow’s moving apology for the dismal ending to Game of Thrones? Answer yes and you’ve seen a deepfake. The 21st century’s answer to Photoshopping, deepfakes use a form of artificial intelligence called deep learning to make images of fake events, hence the name deepfake. Want to put new words in a politician’s mouth, star in your favorite movie, or dance like a pro? Then it’s time to make a deepfake.

What are they for?

Many are pornographic. The AI firm Deeptrace found 15,000 deepfake videos online in September 2019, a near doubling over nine months. A staggering 96% were pornographic and 99% of those mapped faces from female celebrities on to porn stars. As new techniques allow unskilled people to make deepfakes with a handful of photos, fake videos are likely to spread beyond the celebrity world to fuel revenge porn. As Danielle Citron, a professor of law at Boston University, puts it: “Deepfake technology is being weaponized against women.” Beyond the porn there’s plenty of spoof, satire and mischief.

Jerome also sent me several links to this type of technology:
Below is a FAKE VIDEO of our dear Prophet. Just think of the damage this type of thing can do to people all over the world. Soon they will make these AI videos even more real. I feel it is critical to make each of you aware as Jerome has made me aware.

Elon Musk warns AI could cause ‘civilization destruction’ even as he invests in it.

By Clare Duffy and Ramishah Maruf, CNN Mon April 17, 2023

New York CNN
“Elon Musk warned in a new interview that artificial intelligence could lead to “civilization destruction,” even as he remains deeply involved in the growth of AI through his many companies, including a rumored new venture.

“AI is more dangerous than, say, mismanaged aircraft design or production maintenance or bad car production, in the sense that it is, it has the potential — however small one may regard that probability, but it is non-trivial — it has the potential of civilization destruction,” Musk said in his interview with Tucker Carlson…” CNN.com Source https://www.cnn.com/2023/04/17/tech/elon-musk-ai-warning-tucker-carlson/index.html

Trust God not AI!

Please don’t take AI lightly. It is at times a valuable invention but also a dangerous weapon of Satan just as in the past was Radio, Television, the Internet, and Smart Phones today. Satan takes truth and good things, and deceives us with it.

And it came to pass that when two hundred and ten years had passed away there were many churches in the land; yea, there were many churches which professed to know the Christ, and yet they did deny the more parts of his gospel, insomuch that they did receive all manner of wickedness, and did administer that which was sacred unto him to whom it had been forbidden because of unworthiness.

And this church did multiply exceedingly because of iniquity, and because of the power of Satan who did get hold upon their hearts.

And again, there was another church which denied the Christ; and they did persecute the true church of Christ, because of their humility and their belief in Christ; and they did despise them because of the many miracles which were wrought among them.” 4 Nephi 1:27-29

I believe too many in our own Church are falling for incredible lies. Be prayerful and stay close to our Savior Jesus Christ.
