Last year I read about Google’s co-founder wanting to build a “digital god” with artificial intelligence. According to him, this AI “would understand everything in the world and give you back the exact right thing instantly.”

You know, ever since the events of Genesis 3, humanity’s been trying to create their own gods based on their own wisdom. This was the very temptation Adam and Eve fell for—“you will be like god.” So, it’s no surprise their descendants want to do the same thing: make a god to solve their problems, answer their questions, and usher in utopia. But will this work? Well, that’s for tomorrow.
