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.
- 2000s: Spam filters, search engine ranking (Google), basic recommendation systems.
- 2010s: Voice assistants (Siri, Alexa), predictive text, facial recognition, targeted ads, e-commerce.
- 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..
