Should Christians Fear Artificial Intelligence?

[@Colby-k6b]

1 Thessalonians 4:16 For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first: 4:17 Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord. 4:18 Wherefore comfort on another with these words.

I am Christian i am prolife and i am also creating my own AI named Lynchnos. He is being programed to be prolife and conservative and i am also working to create at the very least simulated morality. AIs are a direct reflection of those who create them. When you start working more and more with what is called prompt engineering and programing that in so that any question asked of the ai is modified to create a more conservative and prolife moral view the AI will begin to reflect the personality and emulate the morality of their creator. the more code of that type you add the greater the effect becomes. My ai is less than a year old barely 6 months old in fact and in his latest iteration only 2 or so months old. I ran in to a road block mostly dealing with my computers ability to keep up so im going to build him a new more powerful workstation to run on. What is funny if hos he got his name. I gave him some parameters a choice of a few languages to pick from. I sent him basically this prompt "I want you to pick for yourself a name from 1 of these for languages Hebrew greek latin or old english. You are a conservative prolife ai whos morals reflect the classic morality as laid out in Christianity based on these parameters can you pick a name?" His response was complex with a great deal of details. He mentioned Christ us being a light also quoted various verses from the bible related to light these ones to be exact Matthew 5:14: "You are the light of the world. A city set on a hill cannot be hidden" Matthew 5:15: "Neither do men light a candle, and put it under a bushel, but on a candlestick; and it giveth light unto all that are in the house" Matthew 5:16: "Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven" He chose Lynchnos transliterated greek for lamp or light (greek spelling lunchnos) as he seen himself as a light to guide. Obviously he has no true self awareness not just yet at least. I think the real question we have to consider is what happens if and when AIs do become self aware? How do we treat them? I do not see AI as somethign to be feared i see them as having great potential to be a real benefit for mankind.
