AI will be the most deceptive thing the devil will use to deceive, thats not a spiritual tool. Social media will become a bastion of deception eclipsing how bad it is even now. AI generated pictures will be the norm of social media and will become more wicked than you can imagine. AI generated pictures along with AI generated voices are going to be become a very deceptive tool for the devil. AI only has to listen to someone’s voice in order to duplicate it, so it sounds exactly like the person said it themselves.
Already there are some pictures on the Internet that was generated by AI. I myself have listened to a preacher on the Internet. This preacher died in 1975. This was a long before the social media craze that’s going on today. It was only a slideshow of pictures of this preacher, however the voice was mimicking the preacher and sounded like the preacher, (they did make recordings of themselves). There was one dead giveaway about it, that it really wasn’t this person.
I heard the voice say, to look something up “online”. In 1975 there was no Internet to speak of for the normal person and the word “online” had not been coined yet for the normal person to use. Since this preacher died in 1975, I knew immediately that this was not the voice of that preacher, but had to have been AI generated.
It is possible with this instance that it was benign, however, what’s going to happen when some nefarious person decides to use it for evil?
Heres an example that will definitely happen. However I can’t say for sure that this will be AI because it is still future, but it is very evil and AI could be used in this way.
Rev. 13:16-18
16 Also it causes all, both small and great, both rich and poor, both free and slave, to be marked on the right hand or the forehead, 17 so that no one can buy or sell unless he has the mark, that is, the name of the beast or the number of its name. 18 This calls for wisdom: let the one who has understanding calculate the number of the beast, for it is the number of a man, and his number is 666.
How can everyone in the world be monitored for this to take place? At this point in time the technology is available, and it is expanding very rapidly. Danial says in chapter 12 verse 4 that knowledge will increase.
(“…But you, Daniel, shut up the words and seal the book, until the time of the end. Many shall run to and fro, and knowledge shall increase.”)
Mankind’s knowledge has exploded through the roof in the last one hundred years. I would venture to say the the advent of computers had a big influence on that. But that’s just a drop in the “preverbal” bucket compared to the knowledge thats just around the corner. With AI’s help, people will be able to do just about anything that they can imagine.
Good people will do good things with it but bad people will do bad things with it! We must understand that we live in a fallen world where sin abounds.
(Gen. 6:5 The Lord saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every intention of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually.)(Nothing has changed about this.)
Almost every person is out to get whatever they can for themselves, thats just the way of the world. Even those that have been part of the creation of AI has had reservations about it. They have seen that it can be used to hurt people. It just depends on the user.
Please be careful how you use AI. But one day, it may be used to help the fulfillment of Revelation 13, I’ve included the whole chapter here for you to read.

Revelation 13:1-18 ESV
1 And I saw a beast rising out of the sea, with ten horns and seven heads, with ten diadems on its horns and blasphemous names on its heads. 2 And the beast that I saw was like a leopard; its feet were like a bear’s, and its mouth was like a lion’s mouth. And to it the dragon gave his power and his throne and great authority. 3 One of its heads seemed to have a mortal wound, but its mortal wound was healed, and the whole earth marveled as they followed the beast. 4 And they worshiped the dragon, for he had given his authority to the beast, and they worshiped the beast, saying, “Who is like the beast, and who can fight against it?”
5 And the beast was given a mouth uttering haughty and blasphemous words, and it was allowed to exercise authority for forty-two months. 6 It opened its mouth to utter blasphemies against God, blaspheming his name and his dwelling, that is, those who dwell in heaven. 7 Also it was allowed to make war on the saints and to conquer them. And authority was given it over every tribe and people and language and nation, 8 and all who dwell on earth will worship it, everyone whose name has not been written before the foundation of the world in the book of life of the Lamb who was slain. 9 If anyone has an ear, let him hear:
10
If anyone is to be taken captive,
to captivity he goes;
if anyone is to be slain with the sword,
with the sword must he be slain.
Here is a call for the endurance and faith of the saints.
11 Then I saw another beast rising out of the earth. It had two horns like a lamb and it spoke like a dragon. 12 It exercises all the authority of the first beast in its presence, and makes the earth and its inhabitants worship the first beast, whose mortal wound was healed. 13 It performs great signs, even making fire come down from heaven to earth in front of people, 14 and by the signs that it is allowed to work in the presence of the beast it deceives those who dwell on earth, telling them to make an image for the beast that was wounded by the sword and yet lived. 15 And it was allowed to give breath to the image of the beast, so that the image of the beast might even speak and might cause those who would not worship the image of the beast to be slain. 16 Also it causes all, both small and great, both rich and poor, both free and slave, to be marked on the right hand or the forehead, 17 so that no one can buy or sell unless he has the mark, that is, the name of the beast or the number of its name. 18 This calls for wisdom: let the one who has understanding calculate the number of the beast, for it is the number of a man, and his number is 666.
