Zach Galifianakis says the rapid rise of artificial intelligence feels like humanity is “biting the apple again.”
The The Hangover star made the comment on the Conan O’Brien Needs a Friend podcast, where he reflected on God, creation, and the dangers of unchecked technology.
Although he identifies as agnostic, Galifianakis asked, “If there’s a God that made all this stuff, why not respect it?”
Speaking about AI, he said, “This is where humans are going with AI … it’s another, like, biblical, in the biblical term of ‘biting the apple’ again. I just am very afraid of it.”
He acknowledged AI can be helpful in medicine, but warned that humanity may be pursuing knowledge and power without wisdom.
