> it was dangerous because people assigned it reverence beyond its function

People assigned it capability beyond its ability. That's the entire problem with AI. It is not intelligence. It merely mimicks it. What atheists call human intelligence is actually an ability we have because we're God's images. Making something in our own image and calling it a god is deeply biblical and culminates in Revelation 13:15.

> Revelation 13:15.

Revelation 13:15 is about deception, not innovation. The passage is about a false prophet breathing life into an image to deceive the world. AI isn't deceiving anyone—it's an advanced autocomplete machine. The only ones fooled are those who choose to believe it’s something more than that.

If AI is the golden calf, then so is every other human-made creation that people have ever revered. The argument doesn't hold because it isn't about AI—it's about human nature.
