Alan Turing said that if. you could communicate with a computer for an extended period and not be able to tell you weren't talking to a human, artificial intelligence would have been achieved. I don't believe that mainly because computers are programmed by humans and those humans try really hard to make the computer seem human. Any good author can create characters that seem more real than the real people we know.

If we do not teach our children and grandchildren to think and reason AND recognize the voice of the Spirit in helping them distinguish between good and evils, true and false, then this could well lead to Harari‘s conclusion. How important it will be for us as well as future generations to understand the power of God in our lives! Perhaps this is part of the reason President Nelson has been emphasizing how to “hear Him”. To emphasize our ability not to be deceived by what AI may try to tell us in the future.

How edifying this article is! And yet I knew before reading that God is in control and can oversee the direction that AI takes, that we each can discern truth through the Holy Ghost, and that it is not in God's plan for AI to overtake and control humankind. We, as humans, have ways to know the things we need to know by connecting with God, our Heavenly Father.

How positive and uplifting! I appreciate the deep thinking that fostered this commentary and forces us to reread it several times to grasp its hopeful message.

The belief AI somehow will control the world and each individual in it is well founded to the extent those who provide our goods and services and governments fully adopt it. However, the actual downward spiral of society and regular natural disasters cause disruption of goods and services which includes electricity and internet. Once we are "unplugged" by choice or circumstance, there is no AI for us. Sure the whole world will not be unplugged at the same time but it will be an eye opener while we are lucky enough to "endure" it. Our self-sufficiency and willingness to follow the prophet--and KNOW we are not following a fake through the Spirit is key to enduring well.
