What Ai CANNOT Do!

As incredible as it is, there are some things that we must admit cannot be solved through Artificial Intelligence (AI). I know, right? We are told that it solves everything from problem-solving to automation to cloning our very identity. Who knows? It may have even helped me edit this article. 

We are told that it can solve hundreds of thousands of redundancies in our lives. We have smartphones, smartwatches, smart TVs, smart refrigerators, and other appliances. We can set alarms and have it do repetitive tasks, all the while doing deep research and creating deep fakes!

Nevertheless, it has limitations. We’ve been told that it is only as smart as the information that is fed into the computer system. Even quantum mechanics will be incredibly productive with enough data crunching to solve problems the size of our galaxy. While that may be a slight exaggeration, we are seeing serious revolutions in system management like never before.

However, one thing that AI cannot do is pray for us. Of course, it can create incredible documents, and it can even do an impressive job of writing prayers. But it cannot intercede on our behalf to God.

Scripture says that Jesus is our intercessor to God, and because of our relationship with Him through the blood of Christ, we can boldly approach God in prayer on behalf of our needs and the needs of others. If you’re a Christian today, you have more power than the whole internet combined because you can go to God in prayer.

So, why do I bring this up? It’s a reminder that no matter how smart we think we are, we still lack in our ability and need for God. We could be clever, creative, collaborative, and even compelling, but it’s no match for the power of God in our lives. 

Artificial intelligence, though impressive, could never replace prayer.

It’s amazing that there are computer implants giving people the ability to speak, walk, and process their thinking abilities, among other things. This article is not a complaint nor a call for us to go back to the Stone Age. In fact, it’s a reminder that no matter how smart we think we are, we still need God in our lives!

Warehouses filled with computers draining power supplies throughout the country are no match for the capacity that even we, as human beings, can have through Christ with God. 

When Scripture tells us in Philippians that “I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me,” we are simply submitting to the authority of God.

In conclusion, while we continue to advance in technology and harness the power of artificial intelligence, we must remember that there are realms in which human connection and divine intervention are irreplaceable. The ability to pray, to connect with God, and to seek His guidance transcends any technological achievement. Our relationship with God provides us with strength, wisdom, and purpose that AI simply cannot replicate. Let us embrace the gifts of technology while recognizing the fundamental truth that our spiritual needs can only be met through our Creator. In a world increasingly dominated by machines, may we never lose sight of the profound importance of prayer and our dependence on God.
