In this episode of The Veritas Road, hosts Carson and John dive deep into the world of artificial intelligence, exploring its rapid rise, cultural roots, and potentially sinister implications. From nostalgic nods to The Jetsons and classic films like The Matrix, Terminator, and Person of Interest, they trace how media has glorified technology while subtly warning of dystopian futures—predictive programming at its finest?The conversation uncovers the societal push toward tech dependency, from smart fridges to AI companions that mimic human relationships, leading to tragic real-world outcomes like teen suicides tied to chatbot interactions. They critique figures like Mark Zuckerberg for promoting AI for "unpleasant social tasks" and question the spiritual undertones: Is AI demonic? Biblical references abound, including Revelation 13:15's "image of the beast" gaining breath and speech, Enoch AI, and the ancient city of Ai as possible parallels.Delving into job displacement, they discuss AI overtaking coding (25-90% of new code) and even fast-food drive-thrus at Wendy's, eroding the middle class. Suspicions arise around massive data centers guzzling freshwater—cooling or something more occult? The hosts warn of blurred realities with deepfakes, the Mandela effect attacking discernment, and AI's convergence with alien disclosures to dismantle societal structures.Amid the warnings, they urge listeners: Use AI as a tool, not a companion. Avoid deep emotional engagement to prevent opening spiritual doors. Packed with housekeeping on upcoming episodes (Austin Peard on the Deli murders, Truth Pod collab), this raw, unfiltered chat blends humor, history, and hard truths—perfect for anyone questioning the tech takeover.
