Incredibly helpful! Living in a world where AI is very rapidly becoming a major part of life, whether we like it or not, I’ve been increasingly intimidated by it and not really sure what to think. It turns out the Bible has a lot to say about it in terms of the men and women being made in the image of God, human value, materialism, the incarnation, etc. even if it doesn’t explicitly talk about AI—and that’s more than enough for constructing a cohesive worldview regarding this issue. I was very encouraged by the reminder here that God sustains His creation and His people, and laughs at human efforts to become gods over creation themselves. It’s important to know how to operate in this modern world in a way that glorifies God and values mankind; but there’s no need to worry about machines taking over the world, because God is still Lord over all. So many great points were made about human consciousness, emotion, creativity, trust, etc. All the things that set humans apart from machines no matter how hard they try to make machines a perfect substitute in various realms of life. We have assurance that they won’t succeed, because only God can create life. 

I listened to this on audiobook (the only way i could read it for free), but I wish I had read it—it was pretty philosophically dense and it can be hard to grasp everything through listening to it.
