From smart assistants to AI-generated sermons, artificial intelligence is becoming a louder voice in daily life. But what happens when that voice starts replacing God’s? Elon Musk recently claimed that Google’s co-founder once dreamed of building a “digital god.” That may sound like sci-fi bluster—but spiritually, it hits close to home.

The original Tower of Babel wasn’t just a tall building—it was humanity’s attempt to reach heaven on their own terms. Are we doing the same with AI? As believers, how do we stay grounded in God’s authority when the world is increasingly leaning on algorithms?

What spiritual dangers do you see in humanity’s push to create “godlike” technology?

Can AI become an idol if we’re not careful with how we use it?

“Any technology that replaces our dependence on God becomes a modern golden calf.”

With what happens most of the time when we humans invent something, AI can be used against all of us so easily. We all have seen or are guilty of allowing things like our cell phones taking over our lives. Who needs to talk face to face anymore when you can text message. How many have seein , when out for dinner , families that are out together but everyone is on those cell phones. This will grow worse as AI takes over.
