Some say that artificial intelligence will get more intelligent than humans and then take over, that AI will spontaneously evolve consciousness and free will on its own. This idea is at home in the materialist view that there's no supernatural reality (matter only).
Some say that AI can never achieve human intelligence, but will continue to grow only in computing power. Human persons have a mind and soul that go beyond computation to consciousness and creativity. This idea is at home in the Christian view that we are created in the image of God, that we are more than our physical body and brain.
This author thinks that people might stop thinking creatively and let AI make their decisions for them, like these pampered and docile humans seem to have done in the movie Wall-E:
Don't do that. Retain your God-given dignity, make your own decisions, think things through, and embrace your humanness with all its challenges.
