Are you worried about “The AI”? If you are, you shouldn’t be. This is AI’s second public relation’s effort at taking over either simply “the world,” or perhaps even “Life, the Universe and Everything.”
The first effort was during the 1980s, when desktop microcomputers, such as Atari, Commodore PET, Ohio Scientific, Radio Shack’s TRS80 and finally even the IBM PC appeared on the scene. I worked in banking and computers at the time, and our software engineers began to get calls from customers explaining that our interest calculations were wrong, because they didn’t line up with what they produced at home.
Our savings system programmer was the most entertaining to listen to when he related these calls. Invariably, the customer would cite the computer word size he used in the calculations, saying, “This system uses an eight-bit word for its calculations, it must be accurate.” After a time, the programmer would say, “Well, our mainframe uses a 64-bit word. I think we’re going to stick with those results.”
The AI cheering section at that time consisted of some of the top university computer scientists in America. Marvin Minsky is the only name I remember; I think he came from MIT. There were five or six more, and together they were big proponents that Artificial Intelligence was going to take over everything.
As I recall, there were only a very few useable AI systems that had been developed and did anything of value. They were actually called Expert Systems at the time. Digital Equipment had developed a computer configuration system. The sales person put in the customer information, the DEC minicomputer system purchased, and the system would configure the customer’s new computer and order the parts the installers would need to properly assemble the system for the customer.
Perhaps the most impressive system of that era was known as Mycin SP. It was designed to do only one thing: to diagnose spinal meningitis. It could be used by non-specialists and returned diagnostic results on a par with specialists. If the data it needed was not available, it would order the necessary tests.
There were other efforts, but I don’t recall them as being particularly successful. The big university computer scientists went from being AI’s biggest supporters to among its toughest critics. Pretty much their observation was that to be generally useful, AI systems would need to understand the English language. That proved to be far more difficult than anyone had imagined, and most of the early pioneers abandoned the cheering section after just a few years of failures.
There were lots of things that looked like AI on the surface. One of the most popular was a program named Eliza. It was a favorite of secretaries and support staff having a bad day. Eliza would talk to you about anything, as long as you typed it into her terminal. There was no intelligence, beyond simple word parsing and asking you questions about words you seemed to use more than others. Eliza didn’t understand anything. But that didn’t seem to deter her friends, who would chat with her for hours.
At least the AI effort at that time was a serious attempt to produce something new and useful. Today’s efforts are warmed up leftovers, being served as the answer to all of humanity’s problems, even down to personal significance.
The real intentions, however, are much more sinister and dark. It is propelled forward by an ignorant, deceitful media and billionaire boosters who want someone other than themselves to proclaim that the earth is over-populated and we need to kill enough people to make it sustainable (for them).
AI needs to be seen for what it is: a fantasy that deceitful liars and opportunists want to use as a vehicle to propel forward their own dreams of world domination, while blaming a hapless machine when things go horribly wrong. “The AI” is simply their “fall guy” for when their hopes and dreams for world domination for their exclusive benefit fail to produce the promised results. The previous researchers were true believers who gradually drifted away from the dream. Today’s proponents are frauds and opportunists looking to shield themselves from the ill effects of their godless plans to control the world. All they want is to deflect the blame for their failed political and social efforts onto a machine. “Oh, I had no idea. … I’m not sure who coded that part of the system. yadah, yadah, yadah.
Yadah. We’ve heard it all before, many times. God is not fooled, and neither are we. Gosh, even Amazon isn’t fooled. AI-created “books” have flooded their electronic shelves, pushing their human authors to the sidelines while customers look for some hidden meaning in the AI gobbledegook.
As usual, fiction explored this quagmire before the academics got there. Douglas Adams, writing in “The Hitchiker’s Gude to the Galaxy” series, described a computer known as Deep Thought. The assembled scientists gathered before it to ask it the Big Question: “What is the meaning of life, the universe and everything.” Deep Thought worked on the problem until its meltdown began. While the assembled scientists awaited the answer, Deep Thought announced that it did not have the answer. But it did not leave them without hope. It told them (paraphrasing), “I will design a greater computer that will be able to determine the answer for you.”
This new one churned on for many years. Finally it summoned its caretakers and told them that it had, in fact, arrived at the answer. “The answer is 42.”
Expert Systems, such as Mycin or today’s grand master chess computers, are not artificial intelligence. They are programmed devices that can calculate very quickly a variety of potential actions. Fast answers from a multitude of quick calculations should not be mistaken for the answers that we as human beings seek.
“The AI” is simply more “BS” from those who believe they are anointed to run the world. Ask yourself (or better yet, ask them), who it was that anointed them. Therein lies the truth.

Starting the Day With a Scripture-Inspired Roast Helps Center Your Thoughts on Eternal Truths Amid Temporal Pressures
The world can seem chaotic, especially right after we wake up. Many believers start their mornings reaching for something familiar — a hot cup of coffee — yet end up settling for mediocre brews that do little more than deliver a caffeine jolt. The daily grind of life, with its endless distractions, news cycles, and responsibilities, can leave even the most faithful feeling spiritually parched alongside their physical fatigue. What if your morning ritual could do more than wake you up? What if it could ground you in truth, nourish your body with exceptional quality, and quietly advance a kingdom purpose at the same time?
That’s the promise — and the reality — behind Promised Grounds Coffee. This Christian-founded company doesn’t just roast beans; it approaches every step as an act of worship and discipleship. By selecting only the top 10% of specialty-grade beans, ethically sourced from dedicated farmers in Central and South America, and small-batch roasting them with reverence in Austin, Texas, Promised Grounds delivers what many describe as the best coffee available — never burnt, never bland, but rich with origin stories and layered flavors that honor God’s creation.
From the vibrant Psalm 27 Roast (a light, bright medium option) to the bold yet peaceful 2 Timothy 1:7 Decaf, each bag carries a Scripture verse that turns your daily pour into a gentle reminder of faith. And through their Ounce Per Ounce Promise, every ounce of coffee you enjoy provides an equal ounce of clean water to families in need via partnership with Filter of Hope — literally brewing hope for body and soul, one cup at a time.
The challenge for today’s Christians runs deeper than finding a decent cup. In an age of convenience-driven consumerism, it’s easy to support companies that dilute values or remain silent on matters of faith. Many believers want their everyday choices — from what they drink to how they spend — to reflect discipleship rather than just convenience. Promised Grounds solves this by weaving Christian excellence into the entire process: beans nurtured with prayerful stewardship by farming families, roasted as an offering rather than a commodity, and packaged with Bible verses to encourage a mindset of gratitude and purpose from the first sip. Reviewers consistently praise the smooth, rich profiles — whether enjoyed black in a drip maker, iced on a warm day, or shared in fellowship — noting how the quality stands toe-to-toe with premium secular brands while delivering something far more meaningful.
This integration of faith and flavor addresses a real need in Christian households and ministries. Busy parents, church leaders, and remote workers alike report that starting the day with a Scripture-inspired roast helps center their thoughts on eternal truths amid temporal pressures. The coffee’s exceptional character — bright citrus notes in lighter roasts or deep chocolate undertones in bolder ones — comes from meticulous selection and careful roasting that respects the bean’s natural gifts rather than masking them. It’s the kind of coffee that elevates a simple quiet time, fuels productive workdays, or sparks meaningful conversations when shared at Bible studies or outreach events. And because it’s ethically sourced with integrity, every purchase supports sustainable livelihoods for farmers who treat their crops like family harvests.
For those leading churches or small groups, the impact multiplies. Promised Grounds offers bundles and options perfect for hospitality ministries, turning ordinary coffee service into an opportunity to point people toward the living water of Christ. Imagine greeting visitors with a warm cup whose very bag carries God’s Word — a subtle yet powerful witness that aligns with the Great Commission. The company’s Texas roots and commitment to “brewing hope” resonate especially with believers who value American enterprise paired with global compassion.
Of course, quality alone isn’t enough if the experience feels out of reach. Promised Grounds keeps it accessible with practical perks like free shipping on orders over $40, sample sets for discovering favorites, and thoughtful add-ons such as faith-themed mugs. Whether you prefer whole beans for fresh grinding, grounds for convenience, or even bulk options for larger households and ministries, the result is consistently superior coffee that makes discipleship feel integrated rather than added on.
As you consider how to align even the smallest habits with your walk with God, Promised Grounds Coffee stands out as a refreshing solution. It tackles the dual problems of subpar daily sustenance and disconnected consumption by offering a product that genuinely excels in taste while advancing a mission of clean water, farmer dignity, and scriptural encouragement. Believers who make the switch often describe it as more than a beverage upgrade — it becomes part of their rhythm of gratitude, a daily invitation to remember that every good gift comes from above.
If you’re ready to transform your mornings (and perhaps your church gatherings) with coffee that honors both exceptional craftsmanship and Christian values, I encourage you to explore what Promised Grounds has to offer. One sip at a time, you’ll be nourishing your body, refreshing your spirit, and participating in something far greater — all while enjoying what truly is among the best coffee available.
The answer is, unplug all of these infernal machines NOW, before they are the death of us all. If that is not possible, bomb every server site that is involved with AI until there are no more. Universally outlaw the proliferation of AI, it’s use and development. Enough of all this artificial garbage. The potential risks to Life and the future of human civilization far outweigh the supposed “benefits”.
