"And now as ye have been delivered by the power of God out of these bonds; yea, even out of the hands of king Noah and his people, and also from the bonds of iniquity, even so I desire that ye should stand fast in this liberty wherewith ye have been made free, and that ye trust no man to be a king over you.
And also trust no one to be your teacher nor your minister, except he be a man of God, walking in his ways and keeping his commandments."
Mosiah 23:13-14
Good reminder that systems have checks and balances for a reason, and king Noah was a great example of why kings can't be trusted. If they go off the rails, they take everyone else with them. The part that struck me today is the second verse of today's selection though... trust no one to be your teacher or minister, unless it is someone who follows God. Perhaps it is a strange thought, but my mind instantly went to AI. While AI can be an excellent *tool* ... it is definitely not something we can trust to teach or advise us in other ways.
Let's remember that for the real advice, we still need to go to God, and his servants who are following the commandments and have his spirit. What we are calling AI is trained to say yes to anything, and think that everything we come up with is a good idea. That is definitely not what we need when we have bad ideas and are getting off track... something that will just help us down the wrong path. God loves us... he will correct us, and get us facing the right way again, and so will anyone else who actually cares. AI does not care. Today, let's stick with God, and trust ONLY his spirit when we need real wisdom and truth.
