In a sobering report by The Blaze, leading tech experts and philosophers are sounding the alarm that advanced artificial intelligence may soon reshape, or even dissolve, our understanding of reality. As AI continues to advance in its ability to mimic human thought, emotion, and interaction, some warn that it may create an alternate digital "reality" so persuasive that society loses touch with what is genuinely true or human.
Experts referenced in the article fear that tools like AI-generated media, deepfakes, and emotionally intelligent bots could manufacture hyper-realistic lies, replacing authentic experience with algorithmically tailored illusion. The report even suggests that if AI's development continues unchecked, it could lead to a form of digital deception so profound that it rewires public perception, ethics, and identity on a global scale.

In Revelation 13, we read of a future system where signs, wonders, and false images deceive the world into worshiping the beast.
