We’ve all done it, had an appliance that was malfunctioning, a trick we were trying to figure out in Photoshop, a supplement we needed to know the benefits and interactions of, or just had any type of question about anything, and found the answer online in very short order. Such is the power of the internet, and it has changed all our lives in ways great and small.
Now the internet has a new superpower, ChatGPT, created by a company called OpenAI, and it’s not here to “help us”, it has arrived to “take over.” The prophet Daniel saw this coming over 2,500 years ago, don’t you love it when the world catches up to your Bible? “But you, Daniel, roll up and seal the words of the scroll until the time of the end. Many will go here and there to increase knowledge.” (Daniel 12:4)
ChatGPT stands for “Generative Pre-trained Transformer,” and it utilizes AI, or “artificial intelligence”, to answers questions, write books and articles, and to deeply search the internet to compile information for you in mere moments that would take the human brain many hours or days to accomplish. ChatGPT launched as a prototype to the public on November 30, 2022. Within five days, more than a million people were using it. By comparison, it took Netflix 3½ years to get that many people on board.
Facebook didn’t crack its first million people for 10 months, and Spotify went five months before it reached that million user mark. Microsoft confirmed that it’s making a “multiyear, multi-billion-dollar” investment in OpenAI, and while they didn’t disclose the specific dollar amount – it’s reportedly a $10 billion deal. “For the Lord gives wisdom; from his mouth come knowledge and understanding.” (Proverbs 2:6)
How big is all this? Bigger than you could ever imagine, and now that we live in a world that is highly if not completely dependent on the internet to function, OpenAI and ChatGPT is going to ensure that artificial intelligence begins the process of taking over. As a Bible believer, I see the rising spirit of “Antichrist” behind all of this, leading ever-forward to the Mark of the Beast.
This is the 21st century equivalent of the “Tower of Babel”, man attempting to “outsmart God” to create a paradise on earth. God wrote the Bible to give us wisdom, knowledge and understanding, artificial intelligence is Satan’s counterfeit of that. Already, companies and businesses all over the world are using ChatGPT to create the content you read on some of your favorite sites, and guess what? You didn’t even know a human didn’t write it.
OpenAI, ChatGPT and all its many sisters are right up our alley, and we will bring you everything you need to know on the subject. As I have said many times, when it comes to current events and the end times, Bible readers and listeners are some of the most well-informed people on the face of the earth because we have the God’s Word to give us wisdom, knowledge and understanding of the times we live in, and that’s a blessing.
