And AI has since then even gone on to win the Math Olympiad and things like this.

So this is very much in the near future.

Some tech CEOs are thinking two years.

Some are saying five years, ten years.

We're not talking...

Next generation.

But it's not inevitable at all.

The companies want you to think that AI is just something that inevitably comes to us.

And indeed, some companies are trying to make it that way.

OpenAI had a big announcement yesterday where they said that they're now building automated AI systems.

Max, the agenda to create general and then superintelligence, one of the reasons you get such a broad rejection of the idea, let alone the investment and the resources poured into it, is because Christians see that these are people who are trying to create a digital God in the absence of what they believe.

They believe that there is no God, therefore it must be created.

Christians, of course, are going to reject that.

Religious people across the board are going to reject that.

I don't know.

Yeah, but another counterintuitive angle on that, though, even atheists, dogged atheists are against it.

Mainly, you know, they see the struggle for removing religion as a centuries long process to create a digital God would just undo all of that.
