Ay Yi Yi AI, Better Look to our Almighty I AM

Ay Yi Yi AI

It is weird to be in this world where it is both advantageous for us to have smarter computer algorithms (whether they are truly “AI” Artificial Intelligence or not) – and yet in this “learning phase” we are forced to look at JUNK offerings in how we might use it… (some are amazing and good (especially spell check whew! and some are just way off as my email below triggered my rant)… It is the same as TV surely – there was always junk and good stuff. Ah telephones – great to have but then all that spam… We had the same thing for the US Mail – send in one donation and then 30 companies spam you with mailings (except most can’t afford the mail costs these days…)…  Worst is the spam mail we now get from organizations where you thought your $25 donation was saving someone but how could they if they are sending 1000 mailings now… hmmm…. SORRY for digressing…

Sorry, I digress from my original disgust. What triggered my “Ay Yi Yi” – I just like saying that – was an AI response prompt to an email I got from a new person I met at my college reunion who happens to live in my home town (that is not unusual as my college is not THAT far from my hometown)…  He said it was nice to meet all of us from our reunion class – his class was 15 years more – at the 50 year mark – and I invited him to join us at the local watering hole that evening after dinner and the fireworks – was a really nice opportunity to meet new people the whole weekend – simply nice to have nice people… ANYWAY – he did email me from when I gave him my networking business card and nice email but the AI-generated response was terrible – so weird that it would assume and presume – and I sent in a rejections comment to google – yeah – whose going to teach these bots about the NOT!

The response replied to him in a nickname not his formal name. It made an assumption about me at the farm not my aunt – which granted was also not clear in the beginning text but the conversation was so short that evening about the farm – but still – the AI overstepped. And the funny totally not true part was that the AI replied as if the person in the email offered me a job – he didn’t – he just complimented and then gave me advice which I appreciate and adhere to – I am being “choosy” – for good reasons… Maybe later I won’t be choosy but right now I am…

Here is a screenshot. It would be so un-authentic to use it – and totally wrong. And I am all about being authentic and cautious at the same time.

WELL – how do I think we will get better in AI – or any of this – and honestly – how in this time in our lives will we just be authentic. Isn’t that the most complained about trait about humans or about society? We just want AUTHENTICITY not Artificial Invasions. 

Well, there is no Greater REAL that God Himself – and although we wonder the plan in life for all our computers and bots and bothers – we must again and again look to God for path – plans – positioning – pondering – promise.

God said to Moses: I AM

God says to us: I KNOW YOU – I MADE YOU – I LOVE YOU

Jesus came to earth to forgive us – to cover us – to not judge us but save us: “For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be saved.” (John 3:17)

As for AI, this scripture of Jesus’s teaching (John 3:6) reminds in a different way that human stuff won’t ever reach God stuff. Jesus said:  “That which is born of the flesh is flesh, and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit.”

God knows where we are going – even when we go off track – and He offers us the most Authentic Influence – Almighty Interest – Awesome “I AM” – yes yes.

And as we are to remember – check back everything we hear as bible to the actual  bible – believe Jesus Immanual over Imagination…

And AMEN to Jesus’s teachings in all of John 3:1-21 NKJV (below)

AMEN

John 3
New King James Version
The New Birth
There was a man of the Pharisees named Nicodemus, a ruler of the Jews. This man came to Jesus by night and said to Him, “Rabbi, we know that You are a teacher come from God; for no one can do these signs that You do unless God is with him.”

Jesus answered and said to him, “Most assuredly, I say to you, unless one is born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.”

Nicodemus said to Him, “How can a man be born when he is old? Can he enter a second time into his mother’s womb and be born?”

Jesus answered, “Most assuredly, I say to you, unless one is born of water and the Spirit, he cannot enter the kingdom of God. That which is born of the flesh is flesh, and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit. Do not marvel that I said to you, ‘You must be born again.’ The wind blows where it wishes, and you hear the sound of it, but cannot tell where it comes from and where it goes. So is everyone who is born of the Spirit.”

Nicodemus answered and said to Him, “How can these things be?”

Jesus answered and said to him, “Are you the teacher of Israel, and do not know these things? Most assuredly, I say to you, We speak what We know and testify what We have seen, and you do not receive Our witness. If I have told you earthly things and you do not believe, how will you believe if I tell you heavenly things? No one has ascended to heaven but He who came down from heaven, that is, the Son of Man who is in heaven. And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of Man be lifted up, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have eternal life. For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life. For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be saved.

“He who believes in Him is not condemned; but he who does not believe is condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God. And this is the condemnation, that the light has come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil. For everyone practicing evil hates the light and does not come to the light, lest his deeds should be exposed. But he who does the truth comes to the light, that his deeds may be clearly seen, that they have been done in God.”

AMEN AMEN

AI or My Eye – What Will God Lead To?

Standard

‘AI has nothing compared to my eye’ – that is my new catch phrase for both knowing “AI” artificial intelligence is powerful and yet what is MORE powerful and earth shattering to me is the blessing of seeing people interact and see what I can process as a personal people interaction “in my eye” – one in which the human encourager in me could identify. 

I have been trying to avoid and even put down the “AI” enthusiasm or scare tactics. It is a tool – a good tool for science to do algorithms that advance technology, but how do I apply it? Maybe I don’t but I just have to learn something about it – and I DID learn something as I saw a presenter at a conference yesterday, after giving his talk and asking questions, get so wide-eyed and in awe of the person asking him a question – turns out this audience member person is the founder of one of the big AI companies/languages that are being used in technology and industry. The unassuming gentleman asked a great question – and the presenter first took a moment to say “Are you?” so and so … Yes, he was. And the presenter thanked him for his attendance and praised him honestly in the moment and the AI-brilliant man nearly blushed in humility and had thankfulness for the praise. (and then he asked a good question).

Yes, at a science meeting filled with “AI” references, I saw something sweet in that human interaction – yes encouragement, humility, and joy, all God-given gifts that I ‘could spy with my own little eye’…  Yeah… AI has nothing compared to the God-given gift of seeing and knowing encouragement with your heart and soul and then eye. It warmed my heart and not just charmed with “a star sighting” – but with the presenter’s WOW – and his ‘thanks for showing up to my talk’, out of all the places that the bigwig inventor person could be at.

ENCOURAGEMENT!

I, at that moment, knew it already was a good day for me to see this – yes. I got to see human interactions and be in them too – found a place for the day for me to keep contributing into encouragement of people, that is a command as old as time, encouragement. I thought for the free conference that I will let the Lord guide my steps – knowing really that I was there for unknown learning – and even treating myself to more than just chocolate at the vendor booths – and so I learned that I was given (gifted) some opportunities to watch people and to interact and witness and encourage and yes be in the moment. One such moment was sitting in a talk by a long time encourager to management of people in labs – and me being that nodding affirmations person in the front row agreeing with everything he said about how people are motivated or demotivated. He offered up 2 book suggestions too, which I already ordered on Ebay…

As for the “AI movement” in the world – I know very little of the science and engineering – but what I did hear once again was that motivating phrase: “It’s not that your job will be replaced with AI, it is that someone who knows how to use AI will get the jobs over those who don’t.” – OH! that is a nice catch phrase and truth for encouragement over scaring people  that yes certain jobs, certain ones yes, will be done with some AI tools – si we best learn them or at least what to do with them.

‘AI’ is coming and people said the same thing about computers anf jobs – as people are still needed to run these systems – and the future just steams forward with “improvements” just like cars took over trains and bicycles – trains and trucks over took over transporting goods on canal boats – just like airplanes took business due to speed over trans-atlantic ocean liners steaming across the Atlantic between North America and Europe.

And in the AI-related presentation that I found myself in (after a talk about collaborations between universities training scientists for industry and industry coming in to train scientists, which I liked), the presentation on AI (and in the presenter’s ease of explaining), I learned that there are people trying to standardize the use of AI – just like the oil industry was tackled centuries ago by John D. Rockefeller and Standard Oil – and then the AI brilliant inventor person in the audience asked: ‘well it is a question of whether we provide free cars and or free oil’ for making AI technology more available – which probably neither was true in the industrial revolution – but that is what might make one AI system achieve normal status over another – availability – interesting… I am glad I was in the audience to think of these things and see the people thinking…

And just like that – I have now a “dinner party conversation” level opinion about AI. That it is still people driven and let us pray that those who choose to instill the technology will still look out for the improvement over the investment of money and time to get rich quick. And I learned that there ARE people who are running the show and trying to direct where we go.

And as for me, I will just go with the flow – and yes, even state that although we are on the cusp of change, we can keep an eye above and not get flustered when the world go strange (stranger)… 

So, with the Lord, Who knows all, see Psalm 139, we are reminded to be wary of the world but still interact in the world – live in it without loving the worldly things about it…  Use His guidance over intelligence (natural or artificial) – and see where He wants you to use your gifts of the spirit…

I’m glad to be in God’s Eye, and Hands…

Amen

Here are some “AI” well computer based algorithms’ findings of the TRUTH of God’s Word – The computer said: “These teachings guide how to interact positively and meaningfully with others. Jesus emphasizes love, compassion, and humility in interactions with others throughout the Gospels. Key scriptures include:

“Love Your Neighbor
Matthew 22:39: “You shall love your neighbor as yourself.”
This command highlights the importance of treating others with kindness and respect.

“Compassion and Service
Mark 10:45: “For even the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve.”
Jesus models servant leadership, encouraging followers to prioritize the needs of others.

“Forgiveness
Matthew 6:14-15: “For if you forgive others their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you.”
This passage underscores the significance of forgiveness in relationships.

“Humility
Luke 14:11: “For everyone who exalts himself will be humbled, and he who humbles himself will be exalted.”
Jesus teaches the value of humility in social interactions.

“Acceptance
John 13:34-35: “A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another: just as I have loved you.”
This verse encourages acceptance and love among all people.
