Genesis 1:26-28
And God said, "Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth." So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them. And God blessed them, and God said unto them, "Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth."
Man is made in the image of God (imago Dei).
He now, however, imagines himself to be a god of his own design and makes machines in what he imagines to be his own image (simago dei).
Artificial Intelligence is a simago dei. It is the imagined excellent of man created to bear witness to his glory.
But man is radically corrupt and his best achievements are not without some sin or error somewhere. A.I. then bears witness to the folly of Babel. It is our best foot forward and yet so insignificant that Christ would have to stoop just to see it underneath His footstool.
