Checked.
I think AI is probable, but more as a vessel for spirits who were sealed for 70 generations.
The biblical flood happened around 2800 BC, where Enoch records that the children of the watchers were to have their spirits sealed for 70 generations. The Bible has many definitions of generations, but the general term is 70 years, making 4900 years from the flood as the date when the spirits are to be released. Add 4900 years and we're around 2100 give or take.
Go back to When Jesus cast demons out of a woman, he tells the demons
Why are you here before your appointed time?
And the spirits flee, desparate for a body or form, they inhabit swine which run off a cliff just to escape Jesus.
These beings are desperate for a form and will take any role or body they can find, and they treat humans the same way we treat ants under foot, with a gross indifference to life.
AI like meta/chatGPT/copilot/etc is mostly just advanced algorithms for the masses, actual machine learning is an improvement on Ouiji boards and other summoning magic.
These spirits either are already released or are currently released and need forms, AI is the perfect cover.
To what you said, current data collection companies have made algorithms so precise, that they can predict when you think of a product so accurately that many people believe that their phones listen to them.
In actuality they have all of your usage data, things you search, your hobbies, the people you interact with and what they search, your location when you interact with those people, what you did with that person, your vital signs(apple watch) during certain times of the day, the list goes on.
10 years ago they had this capability, it's not far fetched to think engineers have gotten better to the point you don't even believe that your phone is "listening" anymore.
