AI didn’t just appear overnight — it’s been evolving for decades and most of you use it constantly, even while condemning it. A quick reality check — stages of AI use:
1980s–1990s: Basic algorithms in banking, stock markets, traffic control.
2020s: Advanced chatbots, deep learning, image generators, voice cloning, self-driving tech, personal finance algorithms, medical diagnostics
Truth is:
If you’re on this forum posting, using a smartphone, watching Netflix, ordering online, or tapping your card — you’re already relying on AI systems. It’s built into the internet infrastructure. Even HotCopper uses AI tools (moderation, ranking, security).
So when people scream “reject AI” but type it out on their phone or laptop — that’s hypocrisy. You can’t have it both ways.
Can AI be used for good? Absolutely:
Medical research
Language translation
Fraud detection
Education tools
Creative industries
Like any tool — a knife can prepare food or commit crime. The evil comes from those who wield it.
The only real way to ditch AI today?
Go completely off-grid
No phone, no computer, no digital banking
Use cash, store physical gold, trade in local markets
Live a low-tech life: farming, building, trading services
Disconnect from ALL modern systems (most are AI-integrated now)
My view?
If I had my way — I’d love to see the world go back to simple, clean living:
Trades, farming, real community
Children outside playing in nature
Families gathering without screens
But reality is — we’re all part of this digital system now.
So let’s at least be aware of it, use it wisely, and resist the darker side of it.
As a dedicated Christian I see opportunities to use it to spread the Gospel, to help those seeking help in a lost confused world that wants to consume you, brain wash you and use you.. Its here to say, until the Revelation prophecies start to take place, the trumpets and the seven bowls of Gods Wrath, ain't no AI going to help any one then..
