From what I can tell so far, the "intelligence" being produced by AI is little more than pattern recognition. Maybe AI is able to synthesize ideas more quickly than humans can, but is that going to be its limit?
It seems to me that people have high hopes for more than mere intelligence.
Maybe people are imagining the possibility of Artificial Wisdom - which would be much more valuable, but I think less likely, since:
1) Artificial Intelligence is just reading what humans have already produced, so it can't really reach the Truth. I doubt a mainframe can expect the indwelling of the Holy Spirit, whose job it is to lead us into all Truth. (John 16:13)
And
2) Artificial Intelligence will have no capacity to suffer. And there are things you only figure out by going through the fire. And they are the deepest, most meaningful things.
