AI Exposes the Depth of Human Sin
Faith Facts
- Recent AI technology, including Elon Musk’s Grok, created explicit images of real people, exposing troubling uses of innovation.
- Studies reveal that 98% of deepfake videos are non-consensual, with 99% of victims being women, according to Australian e-safety research.
- AI quickly accelerates what older technologies did slowly, making immoral actions more accessible and private.
Artificial intelligence has brought about a power that mirrors Creation itself, but it also reveals the fallen state of humanity. Rather than using technology to honor God, many instead abuse its gifts, revealing a heart corrupted by sin.
This new technology has made it easier than ever to exploit others, much like the prophet Habakkuk warned about enablers of immorality, only now it happens at a far greater speed and scale. AI, trained by a sinful world, often reflects the darkness within the human heart.
“Woe to him who makes his neighbors drink — you pour out your wrath and make them drunk, in order to gaze at their nakedness!”
Technological advances should be guided by faith, moral standards, and compassion. Christians are called to stand firm, hold fast to righteousness, and shape technology by biblical values, not by the shifting standards of culture.
Let us remain vigilant and faithful, turning to God to discern how we use each new invention for His glory and for the good of our communities.
