Chris Pratt is known for blockbuster movies and lighthearted comedy, but this week he offered a surprisingly thought-provoking take on artificial intelligence \u2014 and how it compares to the divine. While promoting his new film Mercy<\/em>, Pratt told reporters that AI might reshape the entertainment world, but it will never reach the level of God. His comments immediately caught the attention of fans who appreciated the actor’s willingness to bring faith into the cultural conversation.<\/p>\n

“AI is manmade, and so it cannot be God,” Pratt said. “It’s inherently flawed, and it always will be because it’s made by the brokenness of man.” He added, “So it will always be limited in the way we are limited. It is not God, and it will not replace God.” In an era when Silicon Valley leaders talk openly about AI reshaping society \u2014 and sometimes even hint at spiritual comparisons \u2014 Pratt’s words struck a counter-cultural note.<\/p>\n
