First off, what is AI and what is it capable of? Well, what we have right now is a mixture of machine learning and and incredible database, the internet. When people discuss AI today, they're often referring to ChatGPT, Stable Diffusion, or any other number of programs whose dataset comes from the internet. When referring to these things, it's hard to imagine AI being anything more than a threat to copyright, identity security, or whatever little integrity the news had before 2023.

What do the experts say? First, should you even trust the experts? There is an unprecedented nature to AI in that the doubling of knowledge appears to be increasing beyond what Moore's Law will allow, this means that knowledge is doubling faster, perhaps it will reach the prediction of Buckminster Fuller of doubling every 12 hours. Some tech experts are rattled including these folks, quotes courtesy of Glenn Beck:
Now, what could all of this have to do with the Antichrist? Well, who will the Antichirst be? He will be the head of a world governmental system. He will die and rise again, apparently at least. He will be inhabited as the Son of Perdition, just as Judas was. He will not be some AI, but rather a man.
Now, what about the Mark of the Beast? Well, let us use a Biblical Rubrik to divine this:
Does any of this look like the Mark of the Beast? Not really, not yet at least. Be aware and be strong, but Christians should really be wary of playing the pin the tail on the Beast and his Mark all day long. If we were half as interested in Evangelism as we were in Eschatology, we might not be looking at the End Times as we seem to be.
