The sun is brightly shining in California, and our resident crackpot prophet is having another mental breakdown as he cowers in the back room of his amazing world headquarters, preparing for the end-time persecution that will surely befall him. Everyone and everything is out to get the world's greatest prophet ever to lead a Church of God. Not even Dibar Apartian could have ever imagined the lunacy that would emerge from the Great Bwana Bob Mzungu Thiel as he leads his rag-tag army across Africa on their way to the Place of Safety.
That road to Petra is fraught with dangers and obstacles as he and his occasional Caucasians live lives of privilege in the U.S. and New Zealand. This makes it easy to make wide and absurd speculations about the end times that no one in their right mind believes.
The biggest danger along the way for the Great Bwana Bob is that big old bad meanie Satan, who came into being during the great rebellion to specifically come in the end times to persecute the Great Bwana and a few other self-appointed Church of God's false prophets.
One of the latest obstacles that big old meanie Satan is throwing up in the path of the Great Bwana and the other COG liars is the use of artificial intelligence. Cowering in his backroom, the Great Bwana fears that AI will soon be impersonating him on the internet, deceiving his followers and potential converts in Africa deliberately leading them to not give him their money and allegiance.
In one of his rants the other day, he used the movie 2001 as proof that Artificial Intelligence has the potential to destroy people, more specifically, the Church of God's self-appointed false prophets like himself. Yet, in spite of the evil he foresees in AI, the Great Bwana is making full use of it. He uses it for articles and his sermons, and get this, the Great Bwana Bob's intelligence is so magnificent that when he tells AI it is wrong, it corrects itself! It even apologizes to him! All Hail the all-powerful Great Bwana! Even AI trembles at his feet! Has the Church of God ever had a more amazing man?
When it works right, AI helps by finding right answers and basically making research much more efficient. However, while I do use AI from time to time, about 1/2 the time I get wrong or useless answers. Now when I challenge wrong answers, the AI programs normally agree that I am right and then they apologize–but how will most users, particularly young ones know when AI is right or wrong? Well, they often will not.
The amazing Great Prophet ends his spiel with how AI will soon be persecuting him and his followers.
As we warned here a while back, governments are expected to use AI to persuade, deceive, and persecute people.
Furthermore, from Bible prophecy, we know that religious and financial controls are coming to Europe. The Apostle John was told by Jesus to write the following about a coming deadly peril:
15 He was granted power to give breath to the image of the beast, that the image of the beast should both speak and cause as many as would not worship the image of the beast to be killed. 16 He causes all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and slave, to receive a mark on their right hand or on their foreheads, 17 and that no one may buy or sell except one who has the mark or the name of the beast, or the number of his name.
18 Here is wisdom. Let him who has understanding calculate the number of the beast, for it is the number of a man: His number is 666. (Revelation 13:15-18)
When Jesus had the Apostle John pen this 1900+ years ago, yes, government authorities could kill people who would not worship they could find, but there was no way to monitor most buying and selling. Yet, with computer software, including AI, much is already being done, and more will be done. A totalitarian persecuting system is being put in place. Artificial intelligence looks to be part of it.
Yes, a deadly peril is coming.
While there are many actual and potential benefits of AI, and I have gotten some research benefits sometimes from it, do not be deceived, whether or not it will try to bypass programming limits, the fact is that government regulations will NOT stop it from ultimately being used as a way to control and persecute people to fulfill biblical prophecies, such as 666.
The amazing thing about AI right now is that even it knows that Bob Thiel, Dave Pack, Gerald Flurry, and Ron Weinland are liars and false prophets.
