Tech is the only truthful thing in our world. It can't lie or depend on lies. You can't build working car engine on lies, it will not work regardless of how many money and effort you spent on creating that lies. This is highly disturbing to those who want to thrive on lies, so they thinking out non-existing magical tech and sell it around, at the same time convincing people that they don't have to know how things work.

I hammer on this point all the time. The only true science is engineering - application of math, logic and natural laws for building things that serve a specific function. Everything else is mostly propaganda, ungrounded speculation and myth-creation, aka scientism. Of course I wouldn't say tech is the only truthful thing in this world because God is the standard for truth and the ultimate truthful being and the truthfulness of everything is contingent on Him. But as far as the creation and science goes, I'd agree.

The computer is to AI what engineering and true science is to scientism. The notion of AI is based on some wild unjustified assumptions that have never been demonstrated empirically (and they never will, because those are presuppositions about metaphysics).
