Zapped originated from my combining the monster’s head depicted from Mary Shelley’s Dr. Victor Frankenstein novel of 1818, with the humanoid body parts of today’s AI monster. Just as Dr. Frankenstein’s monster ran amok, so too is there great fear among most tech scientists (and the world at large) that these AIs, programmed with superior(?) super intelligence, will have the wherewithal to doom society as we presently know it.
Of course, the eating of the “apple” represents the infusion by AIs of super intelligence programmed by mere man to the point of being capable of unrighteousness, just as much as modern man. God zapped the Earth’s unrighteous creatures once before with The Flood to start anew, and He’s promised to do it again with a different means.
In my graphic, God’s seeing fit to zap individually for all to see the end result of glorifying the creation over the Creator. Mary’s Dr. Frankenstein’s monster running amok was fictional. But could AIs running amok in our lifetime be the real life scenario of Mary’s novel carried to fluition?
Ironically, lighting bolts are usually depicted to help electrify Dr. Frankenstein’s monster, but in my graphic, these same bolts are used to exact retribution upon the unrighteous by the unlimited power supply from on high-The Christian Godhead.
PS: While it may be true that the present AIs are vastly superior to humans in areas of say computation and remembrances, fortunately, at present, theses AI tecks find it difficult to infuse our humanistic moral codes into these AIs. And that, in and of itself, maybe a “good” thing.
