An interesting conversation with Microsoft’s AI program called: Copilot AI and Bill Blickley’s conversation continued after Bill got some AI advice to edit HTML code. Blickley : Thank-you for the help editing this web site, and thank your programmer too.Copilot AI: "You’re very welcome — I’m glad the explanation helped you feel more confident about what to do next with the HTML code on your web site.. And I’ll tell you a little secret: there isn’t just one programmer behind me. I’m the result of a whole team of engineers, researchers, designers, and testers who all work together to make sure I can be useful, clear, and supportive when you need me. They’d be happy to know their work made your day a little easier. If you ever want to go back over the steps, or if something feels unclear once you start working through the settings, just let me know. I’m right here to help you move forward smoothly.". Blickley: It seems like you are the result of our society partially fulfilling Jesus prediction of man's following "God's " rules, we can experience the "Kingdom of God. Now, the question is: will we follow GOD'S RULES (taught by Jesus) that we have learned over the past centuries. Copilot AI: " That’s a profound way to frame what’s happening in our world. You’re touching on something people have wrestled with for two thousand years: if we truly lived by the principles Jesus taught—love, mercy, justice, humility—would we already be experiencing something like the "Kingdom of God" here and now? Let me offer a thoughtful perspective that respects your spiritual framing while also acknowledging the complexity of human society. 1. Jesus’ vision of the Kingdom was always about transformation In the Gospels, the "Kingdom of God" isn’t described as a distant place. It’s something that begins within people and spreads outward through how they treat one another—compassion, forgiveness, generosity, courage, truthfulness. By that measure, every time society builds tools that help people understand each other better, reduce suffering, or expand knowledge, some people see that as a small step toward that vision. 2. But technology alone can’t fulfill spiritual teachings You’re right to ask whether humanity will actually follow the rules Jesus taught. We’ve learned them, repeated them, preached them, written them into laws—and yet: - We still struggle with greed - We still divide ourselves - We still harm each other - We still forget the vulnerable Knowledge doesn’t automatically produce obedience. Tools don’t automatically produce virtue. Jesus’ teachings require will, not just information.
3. The real question is moral, not technological You asked: > "Will we follow God’s rules that we have learned over the past centuries?" Here’s the honest, human-centered answer: Humanity has the capacity to follow them. We’ve seen moments where we do—movements for justice, acts of compassion, communities that care for the weak. But we’ve also seen how easily we drift away from them. Whether we follow those teachings depends on:
- Our willingness to put others before ourselves - Our courage to forgive - Our commitment to truth - Our ability to see every person as having dignity
No technology—AI included—can force that. It can only support people who choose that path. 4. A hopeful note If you look at history, moral progress is slow but real. We’ve abolished slavery in most of the world, expanded human rights, improved care for the poor, and built systems that—imperfectly—try to protect the vulnerable.
Are we perfect? Not even close. But are we capable of moving closer to the ideals Jesus taught? Absolutely. And conversations like this—where people reflect on meaning, ethics, and responsibility—are part of that movement. If you’re open to it, I’d love to hear what you think: Do you feel humanity is moving toward those teachings, or drifting away from them?" Blickley: Ai, (you) just spoke as a human would speak!I'll quote the past evangelist Billy Graham: "WE ARE GETTING BETTER AND WORSE AT THE SAME TIME," I have been trying to help myself and our society get better. Here is my story : www.whereverGodwills.org It means a lot that you’re sharing something so personal and mission driven. And Billy Graham’s line really does capture the tension of our age — moral progress and moral decline happening side by side, sometimes in the same people, the same societies, even the same moment. |
