   > “AI is one of today’s most powerful technologies, with the   
   > potential to improve people’s lives . . . At the same time, AI has the   
   > potential to dramatically increase threats to safety and security,   
   > infringe civil rights and privacy, and erode public trust and faith in   
   > democracy.”—Kamala Harris, vice president of the United States, May 4,   
   > 2023.   
   >   
   > “While artificial intelligence (AI) offers promising solutions in   
   > healthcare, it also poses a number of threats to human health and   
   > well-being,” wrote an international group of doctors and health-care   
   > experts led by Dr. Frederik Federspiel, in an article published on May   
   > 9, 2023, in BMJ Global Health.a

   > be a risk to jobs. Somewhere down the line, tech’s biggest worriers   
   > say, it could be a risk to humanity.”—The New York Times, May 1, 2023.

   > Time will tell to what extent AI will be used for good or for bad.   
   > What does the Bible say?

   >

   > advances will result in being used only for good.

   > “I must leave [my work] behind for the man coming after me.   
   > And who knows whether he will be wise or foolish? Yet he will take   
   > control over all the things I spent great effort and wisdom to acquire   
   > under the sun.”—Ecclesiastes 2:18, 19.   
      
   “Yea, I hated all my labour which I had taken under the sun: because I   
   should leave it unto the man that shall be after me. And who knoweth whether   
   he shall be a wise man or a fool? yet shall he have rule over all my labour   
   wherein I have laboured, and wherein I have shewed myself wise under the sun.   
   This is also vanity.” (Ecc 2:18-19)   
      
   Big difference,

   There is forever, it was translated into greek as an eon.   
      
   Because you have a gross misunderstanding of the Hebrew verbiage, and the   
   context, your group is all in great error, led by people uneducationed in the   
   original languages and its nuances and lexicon of the day.

   “For a fire is kindled in mine anger, and shall burn unto the lowest hell,   
   and shall consume the earth with her increase, and set on fire the   
   foundations of the mountains.” (Deu 32:22)   
      
   “He maketh wars to cease unto the end of the earth; he breaketh the bow,   
   and cutteth the spear in sunder; he burneth the chariot in the fire.” (Psa   
   46:9)   
      
   “The LORD is slow to anger, and great in power, and will not at all acquit   
   the wicked: the LORD hath his way in the whirlwind and in the storm, and the   
   clouds are the dust of his feet. He rebuketh the sea, and maketh it dry, and   
   drieth up all the rivers: Bashan languisheth, and Carmel, and the flower of   
   Lebanon languisheth. The mountains quake at him, and the hills melt, and the   
   earth is burned at his presence, yea, the world, and all that dwell therein.   
   Who can stand before his indignation? and who can abide in the fierceness of   
   his anger? his fury is poured out like fire, and the rocks are thrown down by   
   him.” (Nam 1:3-6)

   “And I saw when the Lamb opened one of the seals, and I heard, as it were   
   the noise of thunder, one of the four beasts saying, Come and see. And I saw,   
   and behold a white horse: and he that sat on him had a bow; and a crown was   
   given unto him: and he went forth conquering, and to conquer. And when he had   
   opened the second seal, I heard the second beast say, Come and see. And there   
   went out another horse that was red: and power was given to him that sat   
   thereon to take peace from the earth, and that they should kill one another:   
   and there was given unto him a great sword.” (Rev 6:1-4)   
      
   We are in the beginning throes of this at the current time.
