The line between real and virtual life

With all the rage that comes with neuro-networks deciding our future we should remember that artificial intelligence can never be a substitute for true intelligence. The Doctrine and Covenants teaches that all intellectual was never created or made and that it can act of itself. If we believe the scriptures we know that we are made from true intelligence in contrast to computers being made from artificial intelligence. We have the ability to reflect on the choices we make and feel something about it instead of merely executing instructions. As computers become a more every day part of our lives we must not forget to communicate our love and affection to the people the who matter most. We also should remember it is all right to draw from moral guidelines and inspiration that is outside the realm of a computer.
