Deception In the Age of AI (Continued from Page 16)
3). The “Speaking Image”: Perhaps most striking is Revelation 13:15, which describes how the False Prophet gives “breath to the image of the beast, so that the image of the beast could even speak.” AI inter- faces, potentially enhanced by quan- tum computing power, could create lifelike representations capable of ad- dressing humanity with seemingly di- vine authority. 4). Universal Surveillance: The control systems implied in Revelation 13 would require extensive monitoring capabilities — precisely what modern AI excels at developing and imple- menting. While we cannot know the exact tim- ing of these events, recognizing the technological foundations being laid should strengthen our vigilance and urgency. As these prophesied events draw nearer, believers should strengthen their spiritual founda- tions in three essential ways: 1). Remain Grounded in God’s Word: Scripture provides our only reliable foundation for discern- ment. Regular, deep study of the Bible — particularly its prophetic passages — is not optional but es- sential for navigating these decep- tive times. 2). Increase Time in Prayer: As technologies of deception grow more sophisticated, our depend- ence on divine wisdom must deepen. Only through consistent communion with God can we maintain clarity in confusing times. 3). Fellowship with Like- Minded Believers: We need the strength and accountability of fel- low believers who share our un- derstanding of Scripture’s
1). Uniformly perfect text: Most human writing contains minor errors or stylistic quirks. Content that appears flawless throughout may be AI-gener- ated. 2). Inconsistent knowledge: AI may blend accurate information with fabricated details, especially about re- cent events or specialized topics. 3). Subtle logical inconsisten- cies: AI-generated content often contains contradictions that only be- come apparent upon careful read- ing. 4). Generic imagery: AI-gener- ated images typically have telltale signs like unnatural lighting, dis- torted hands or facial features, or peculiar backgrounds. 5). Too-convenient timing: Be wary of “breaking” information that
prophetic timeline. Hebrews 10:25 re- minds us not to neglect meeting to- gether, “and all the more as you see the Day approaching.” Let us therefore build our lives on Christ, the solid rock, so that when technological disruptions shake our world, we stand firm in unshakable truth. And let us use whatever time re- mains to share the genuine hope of Christ with a world increasingly vulner- able to sophisticated deception. As we navigate this challenging landscape together, may we remem- ber that no technological advance- ment, however impressive, can separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord. As AI continues to advance, here are additional signs that content may be artificially generated:
perfectly supports an existing narra- tive, especially during times of crisis or controversy. Remember: “The person without the Spirit does not accept the things that come from the Spirit of God but con- siders them foolishness, and cannot understand them because they are discerned only through the Spirit.” (1
Corinthians 2:14).
