AI is a Filter of humankind.
VERY WRONG.

We have officially entered the new Artificial Intelligence Era. This comes with pros and cons. AI has demonstrated to compensate human intellectual limitations by highlighting the extent of Brain Power. We may well have reached the maximum brain-threshold as result of technology. We have not become neuro-stagnant, nevertheless, we’ll continue to evolve with Nanotechnology, the precursor of AI. What are the ethical implications?

Wariness is the first reaction to enhanced intelligence.
As AI enhances human thinking by analyzing previously unprocessed information, it arises our curiosity.

Neuroscientists describe it “Evolving with Nanotechnology”.

Nanotechnology was first experimented in late 90s at intercellular level.
AI is Nanotechnology continued.
Back in the day, it was categorized as pseudoscience, involving the introduction of artificially manufactured self-replicating cells into dysfunctional organs for repair.
It became soon apparent that ‘nanocells’ embodied and developed Intelligence by targeting Neurons, in so far by altering personality for the better.
The practice was ostracized by religious ethics underwriting that we are made at the image of God, although it continued semi-secretly to this day, where it has legitimately exploded as Artificial Intelligence.
The Church didn’t delay in complying with revised guidelines: Doubts and Temptations are not sinful as far as we don’t give in. In fact, they will draw us closer to God.
As a practicing Christian, I agree entirely.
Jesus endured doubts and temptations by becoming fully human.
The Church regarded doubts and temptations as grave sins just prior to AI.
My concern is that the term AI will replace God, unless in His Majesty.
God may use AI for conversion.

Why many people are scared of AI?

The main reason is Novelty.
I believe AI has the potential to convert more people to God.
It could well be a Godly plan.
The worrisome element could be Free-Will, God gave us total control over it, He won’t interfere.
AI can be heavenly good as destructive evil in the wrong hands.
I have analyzed the positive effects thus far.
What about the odds?
Isolation most likely, loss of human contact.
We can speak to robots online, perfectly imitating human acting-out.

The other day I was chatting with an ‘online Priest’ who suspiciously answered my questions simultaneously. When I typed “are you a human or a robot?”, a message popped up as  “Your inquiry has been processed. We will divert you to one of our available Advisors for a fee, should you wish to speak to a person.”
“No thanks, my questions were answered satisfactorily”, I had to nostalgically acknowledge.

We are creating Artificial Life.
I doubt that is in God s plans.
The same Doubt that draws me closer to God.
I pray that will work for the good of all.

The downsides of technology have proven stronger than the benefits. It is no longer a generational thing. 

We’re experiencing an Internet meltdown for the last few days and I feel isolated.
I never felt that way in my youth.

Internet started as a valuable resource in the mid-90s just to turn into slavery.

I had my first cellphone at 30 without regret, they were the best years when I knew where to find my friends at any time of day or night in 24 hours’ London, UK.
Friendship was in a different realm: starting a conversation with strangers was absolutely normal and welcomed in a British pub.
Everybody was a friend even for one night.

Nowadays, one has to make friends online first, eventually in real life after long exhausting chats.

The question is whether adaptation comes easier than imposition.
Recent studies on teen-agers showed a reduction in anxiety after few weeks off social media and more interest in life activities.
Internet has gone out of control too quickly.

My take is that Imposing has always a negative effect on Mental Health.
It leaves no options.
I believe my generation is more flexible since we went through the process of Adapting.
