In a recent interview, Yuval Noah Harari spoke about artificial intelligence and how technology could create new ideas.
Harari is an influential author who has sold more than 45 million books worldwide. He is an associate of Klaus Schwab, the WEF (World Economic Forum) founder, and a liberal thinker and speaker with commendations from people such as Barack Obama and Bill Gates. His online platform is growing, and his words are far-reaching, so we must discern the validity and impact of his comments.
What Did Yuval Noah Harari Say About Using AI?
In this interview on May 19, 2023, in Lisbon, Portugal, with journalist Pedro Pinto, Harari said about AI:
“It’s the first technology ever that can create new ideas. You know, the printing press, radio, television, they broadcast. They spread the ideas created by the human brain, by the human mind. They cannot create a new idea.
“You know, Gutenberg printed the Bible in the middle of the 15th century. The printing press printed as many copies of the Bible as Gutenberg instructed it, but it did not create a single new page.”
“[The printing press] had no ideas of its own about the Bible. Is it good? Is it bad? How to interpret this, how to interpret that? AI can create new ideas; can even write a new Bible.
“You know, throughout history, religions dreamed about having a book written by a superhuman intelligence, by a non-human entity.
“Every religion claims…all the art books of the other religions, humans wrote them. But our book, it came from some superhuman intelligence. In a few years, there might be religions that are actually correct.
“Just think about a religion whose holy book is written by an AI. That could be a reality in a few years.”
What Has God Said About Changing His Words?
Deu 4:2″You shall not add to the word which I command you, nor take from it, that you may keep the commandments of the LORD your God which I command you.
Deu 12:32″Whatever I command you, be careful to observe it; you shall not add to it nor take away from it.
Mat 5:18 For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled.
Mat 24:35 Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my words shall not pass away.
What Did Jesus Tell John to Write?
Rev 22:18-19 For I testify to everyone who hears the words of the prophecy of this book: If anyone adds to these things, God will add to him the plagues that are written in this book; and if anyone takes away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God shall take away his part from the Book of Life, from the holy city, and from the things which are written in this book.
Final Thoughts?
We must remember the trustworthiness of God’s Word and His faithfulness to preserve His words (Prov 30:5; Psa 12:7; Ps 119:89). Let us adhere to His precepts, principles, and promises and respond joyfully with…
Psa 138:2 I will worship toward Your holy temple, And praise Your name For Your lovingkindness and Your truth; For You have magnified Your word above all Your name.
Psa 119:160 The entirety of Your word is truth, And every one of Your righteous judgments endures forever.
1 Pet 1:25 the word of the LORD endures forever.” Now this is the word which by the gospel was preached to you.
