AI [artificial intelligence] is like a toddler with a Ph.D.. It’s really smart, but it still needs to be supervised.

The better we understand creation and the possibilities of logic and algorithms, the more we see the glory of God.

Saying the Bible is not a book about science is like saying a cookbook is not a book about chemistry.

Given enough time, any algorithm performed on a modern-day computer can be done by the programmer with pencil and paper.

Individual self-sovereignty is a load-bearing pillar on which liberty rests.

The ultimate success of AI is not due to journal papers, blogs, press releases, forecasts, corporate acquisitions, speculation, or promises. Success is measured by reduction to practice.

Robots deserve no more human rights than a 3D printer or toaster.

For the record, I don’t deserve this. But I have lower back pain and don’t deserve that either. (After being listed as one of the twenty most brilliant living Christian Professors.)

ChatGPT relies on syntax: the statistics of words in a sentence. People rely on semantics: the meaning of words.''

All engineering fields are either solutions looking for problems or problems looking for solutions.

Software without bias is like water without wet.

[Ray] Kurzweil says that “consciousness is a biological process like digestion, lactation, photosynthesis, or mitosis.” Or, to revise Descartes, “I lactate. Therefore, I think.”

Can anyone write code to explain to a computer their sensory experience of enjoying hot buttered sweet corn?

Computers are no more able to create information than iPods are capable of creating music.

Forecasting the future of technology is risky. Predictions tend to be linear whereas technical advances come in quantum jumps from paradigm shifts. After the second World War, forecasters in electronics [who did not foresee the transistor] would have linearly [and incorrectly] foretasted breakthroughs in better vacuum tube reliability from, for example, improved filament chemistry.
