Is it that we are tending to see civilization as a continuous upward march, with periodic glitches then leaps forward, ignoring the reality that the timing of humanity is on God’s plans not some generic advancement toward eventual human utopia? If nothing else, we ought realize our developments in AI will tend to make us seem an irrational disease to the purity of machine logic. When the machine arrives at sufficient autonomy and power it will cleanse the environment it occupies to eliminate the ‘irrational diseases’ which could threaten it.
That has been the Progressive dream for well over 100 years.
