AI and the End of the World • Mike Addis • Ascension Online

Описание: Catch up with the talk from this week's Sunday service, focussing on 2 Corinthians 12: 6-10.
Today Mike talks about how, as AI increasingly enables humans to achieve more without developing their character, Christians must prioritize growing in Christlikeness, relationships, and spiritual growth.

1. 00:00 🤖 Mike explores the Christian response to AI and its implications on human identity and existence in the context of... the end of the world.

2. 05:07 🤖 The main risk of AI is that it enables achievement without impacting our character.

3. 09:19 🤖 As AI surpasses human capabilities, focus on the intrinsic value of work, not just productivity, to find meaning and purpose.

4. 13:54 🤖 Mike warns that relying on AI in personal and creative activities may lead to loss of essential human aspects, such as loving relationships and genuine emotional expression.

5. 18:19 🤖 AI relationships, no matter how realistic, can't replace human connection or spiritual growth.

6. 22:06 🤖 AI may simulate human-like connections, but genuine relationships and spiritual growth require vulnerability, self-giving love, and human interaction.

7. 25:42 🤖 Christians can navigate AI risks by focusing on growing in Christlikeness and embracing weakness, humility, and challenges.

8. 27:42 💭 If people cared more about their character than their achievements, and gave out more love than they received, their lives would likely undergo a profound transformation.
