Be sure to let me know when software knows what lies in our hearts and souls. People can’t even tell for certain when we are lying to them, what their physical intentions are, and certainly not their tactics and strategy.
To make matters worse, a camera can only see from one angle.
It really doesn’t have to know, it need to only act like it knows to serve their purpose.
Having said that we will soon be seeing computers that can calculate a billion or trillion times faster than what we are using today, they will challenge the bounds of reality. There are patterns to everyones behavior, computers if they have enough data can see the changes and predict responses.No one can foresee what people might do with that kind of tool. If history is any teacher, they won't use it for our good, but theirs only.
I like to think about the Bible in terms of types and shadows, if one were to make that assumption they might see a story in Genesis where God has seen man eat of the forbidden fruit and God declared, let Us remove them from the Garden lest they become Gods like us.
I think we are about to be removed, again.
