The God Discussion Today

Some seem to suggest that humanity doesn’t need God as real-time decision maker and top-level authority. However, tech leaders seem to increasingly acknowledge the need for greater-than-human decision-making and authority and try to fulfill the need with technology, AI possibly perceived as its central development. However, AI seems to me to yield the same issue some seem concerned about regarding the apparently-proposed God/human relationship: not being in charge, or in agreement with God.

To explain, some AI developers seem to acknowledge not knowing what their AI is “thinking” beyond some point. Although a perceived failsafe response to undesirable AI outcomes might attempt to destroy undesired AI implementations, advances in tech hardening, along with increased tech capability, responsibility and authority, and the apparent inability to reliably predict AI thinking, seem to potentially realize sci-fi-level loss of human control over tech.

If so, the Bible's apparent depiction of the human experience seems substantiated: humans reject God as highest-level decision-maker in order to pursue misperceived benefit outside of that which God knows to be optimal, that God allowed humans to try their way so that they could see for themselves that God is logically and irrevocably the sovereign, omniscient, omnipotent, and omnibenevolent authority of all reality, and as such, is optimally accepted voluntarily by each individual as the individual's priority relationship and decision-maker.
