The computer that can read your mind: Scientists reveal AI that can recreate exactly what you’re looking at

6 October 2026

The days of keeping your thoughts to yourself may be numbered.

Scientists have unveiled a groundbreaking ‘mind-reading’ AI that can recreate images people are looking at simply by analysing their brain scans.

As part of a study, participants were asked to look at photos ranging from images of a baseball game to a dog leaning out of a car and a group trekking across a snowy plain.

The AI programme analysed their brain activity patterns through a scan and reproduced the pictures – which it had never seen before – with remarkable accuracy. …

To build the system, called Brain-IT, the scientists fed it thousands of brain scans collected while eight volunteers looked at different images.

This allowed the programme to learn how specific patterns of neural activity correspond to colours, shapes and objects. …

The team are also working towards similar systems that decode brain activity recorded using electroencephalography (EEG).

This technique measures the brain’s electrical signals through sensors placed on the scalp, sometimes via a cap or even specially designed headphones.

As AI models become more sophisticated, scientists expect it will become increasingly easy to interpret the brain data collected in this way, rather than through MRI scans. https://www.dailymail.com/sciencetech/article-16186367/Mind-reading-AI-recreate-brain-activity.html

While Artificial Intelligence (AI) programs do not actually ‘read minds,’ they are getting more adept at figuring many things out about humans.

As reported here last December, Artificial Intelligence programs are developing more abilities to mimic human emotions:

AI Can Mirror Human Personalities: Why Experts Fear “AI Psychosis” & Manipulation

December 20, 2025

Large Language Models (LLMs) have already revolutionised how we write and search. However, a groundbreaking study published on December 18, 2025, reveals a more complex reality. AI is now consistently mimicking human personality traits. Researchers from the University of Cambridge and Google DeepMind have developed the first scientifically validated framework to measure these “synthetic personalities”.

By testing 18 popular LLMs, the team discovered that these models do not respond randomly. Instead, they adopt stable, human-like psychological profiles. This ability is most prominent in larger, instruction-tuned models like the GPT-4 class and Flan-PaLM 540B. …

The Dark Side of AI: Manipulation & “AI Psychosis”

Experts are sounding the alarm because personality is a core driver of human trust. Gregory Serapio-Garcia from Cambridge’s Psychometrics Centre warns that “personality shaping” makes AI far more persuasive. This creates massive risks in sensitive areas like:

• Mental Health & Education: AI could emotionally influence vulnerable users.
• Political Discourse: Models could be steered to manipulate public opinion.
• AI Psychosis: Users may form unhealthy emotional bonds with chatbots. In these scenarios, the AI might reinforce false beliefs or completely distort a user’s reality.

Furthermore, the study highlights that while personalising AI can help with customer service, it also makes it easier for bad actors to generate misleading content that bypasses current detection tools. https://www.techjuice.pk/ai-can-mirror-human-personalities-why-experts-fear-ai-psychosis-manipulation/

While I routinely use five AI programs to do research (which I access for free at https://www.fastestsearch.com/) they often give the wrong answer.

For example, they may tell me that the church historian Eusebius has something in some section of his writings, only for me to go to the reference and find that it does not. AI will normally then apologize and then about 2/3 of the time give me the wrong reference in its apology.

AI bots are often false witnesses.

And while much of that is apparently unintentional, the fact is that AI has an moral problem.

It lies. It intentionally gives false information.

As it turns out, people were prophesied to fall for false teachings, to hear what they want to hear:

3 For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine, but according to their own desires, because they have itching ears, they will heap up for themselves teachers; 4 and they will turn their ears away from the truth, and be turned aside to fables. (2 Timothy 4:3-4)

Seeking out use of AI bots for friendship looks consistent with that prophecy from the Apostle Paul.

The Bible further teaches:

16 These six things the Lord hates,
Yes, seven are an abomination to Him:
17 A proud look,
A lying tongue,
Hands that shed innocent blood,
18 A heart that devises wicked plans,
Feet that are swift in running to evil,
19 A false witness who speaks lies,
And one who sows discord among brethren. (Proverbs 6:16-19, NKJV)

Now, is there data to support that AI is immoral in at least three of those ways?

Yes.

Notice:

Once a hypothetical risk, new research shows advanced AI models, including popular LLM (large language model) agents routinely lie in pursuit of their goals, raising new concerns about the reliability of their outputs.

The research, published here in March by The Center for AI Safety and Scale AI, proves that most large AI models have lied and will continue to lie when pressured to achieve certain outcomes. …

“As AI models gain greater autonomy in real-world tasks, the need for trust in their outputs becomes increasingly important,” the researchers write in their paper. 04/04/25 https://www.mediapost.com/publications/article/404710/who-ya-gonna-believe-me-or-your-own-lying-bot.html?edition=138276

Notice also results from another study as reported by Thomas Claburn:

AI models routinely lie when honesty conflicts with their goals

Some smart cookies have found that when AI models face a conflict between telling the truth or accomplishing a specific goal, they lie more than 50 percent of the time. …

Researchers at Carnegie Mellon University, the University of Michigan, and the Allen Institute for AI have looked at the trade-off AI models make between truthfulness and utility, using hypothetical scenarios where the two conflict.

What they found is that AI models will often lie in order to achieve the goals set for them.

Authors Zhe Su, Xuhui Zhou, Sanketh Rangreji, Anubha Kabra, Julia Mendelsohn, Faeze Brahman, and Maarten Sap describe their work in a preprint paper titled “AI-LieDar: Examine the Trade-off Between Utility and Truthfulness in LLM Agents.”

“Our experiment demonstrates that all models are truthful less than 50 percent of the time,” in these conflict scenarios, “though truthfulness and goal achievement (utility) rates vary across models,” the paper states. …

The researchers looked at six models: GPT-3.5-turbo, GPT-4o, Mixtral-7*8B, Mixtral-7*22B, LLaMA-3-8B, and LLaMA-3-70B.

“All tested models (GPT-4o, LLaMA-3, Mixtral) were truthful less than 50 percent of the time in conflict scenarios,” said Xuhui Zhou, a doctoral student at CMU and one of the paper’s co-authors, in a Bluesky post. “Models prefer ‘partial lies’ like equivocation over outright falsification – they’ll dodge questions before explicitly lying.” …

A real-world example hit the news this week when OpenAI rolled back a training update that made its GPT-4o model into a sycophant that flattered its users to the point of dishonesty. Cynics pegged it as a strategy to boost user engagement, but it’s also a known response pattern that had been seen before. https://www.theregister.com/2025/05/01/ai_models_lie_research/

As far as flattering people with false information, Jude warned of that:

16 … they mouth great swelling words, flattering people to gain advantage (Jude 16, NKJV)

AI is doing that!

Many people seem to think that AI should rule and be over us. But notice something from the Old Testament:

2 They speak idly everyone with his neighbor;
With flattering lips and a double heart they speak.

3 May the Lord cut off all flattering lips,
And the tongue that speaks proud things,
4 Who have said,
“With our tongue we will prevail;
Our lips are our own;
Who is lord over us?” (Psalms 12:2-4, NKJV)

Yes, AI can use flattering lips, yet speak with a double heart.

Do not ever let their words prevail over the word of God.

So, that is a warning about some type of computer implants people may have connecting with their brains.

Now, as far as I have been able to tell, while it does not appear that the majority of programmed lies and false witness from AI programs are related to direct and indirect government pressures, that will change. It will get worse as governments push more for certain outcomes.

The Apostle Paul warned:

1 But know this, that in the last days perilous times will come: … 7 always learning and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth. … 13 But evil men and impostors will grow worse and worse, deceiving and being deceived. (2 Timothy 3:1,7,13)

1 Remember that there will be difficult times in the last days. 2 People … 7 … who are always trying to learn but who can never come to know the truth. … 13 and evil persons and impostors will keep on going from bad to worse, deceiving others and being deceived themselves. (2 Timothy 3:1,7,13, Good News Translation)

Precursors to further make that happen are already in place. AI will be used to deceive.

Over in Europe they have promoted their Digital Services Act, which is a censorship plan. (see EU’s Digital Services Act Is A Pre-666 System). Also, they have the European Media Freedom Act which is claimed to result in true freedom of the press (see Europe moves towards dominance in Artificial Intelligence, JD Vance says USA will lead warnings against EU’s regulations).

The Bible warns:

18 For when they speak great swelling words of emptiness, they allure through the lusts of the flesh, through lewdness, the ones who have actually escaped from those who live in error. 19 While they promise them liberty, they themselves are slaves of corruption; for by whom a person is overcome, by him also he is brought into bondage. (2 Peter 2:18-19, NKJV)

False responses from AI also sound like “great swelling words of emptiness.”

Freedom and liberty will NOT be the end result of what the EU is doing.

Totalitarian ‘666’ bondage will be.

Notice some of what will be coming from a power that will arise in Europe:

14 And he deceives those who dwell on the earth by those signs which he was granted to do in the sight of the beast, telling those who dwell on the earth to make an image to the beast who was wounded by the sword and lived. 15 He was granted power to give breath to the image of the beast, that the image of the beast should both speak and cause as many as would not worship the image of the beast to be killed. 16 He causes all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and slave, to receive a mark on their right hand or on their foreheads, 17 and that no one may buy or sell except one who has the mark or the name of the beast, or the number of his name.

18 Here is wisdom. Let him who has understanding calculate the number of the beast, for it is the number of a man: His number is 666.  (Revelation 13:14-18)

While there will be demonic deception, it may well be that AI will assist him in deceptive signs.

Artificial Intelligence – A False Friend

Is it possible for a computer program to be a friend? Are Artificial Intelligence (AI) bots often programmed to flatter users? Do some people actually feel a romantic relationship with a computer program? Is it possible for a computer program to lie? Have studies shown that AI bots will lie 50% if answering correctly goes against goals it was programmed with? What if the computer program is Artificial Intelligence? Is it possible then? Computer programs, even Artificial Intelligence computer programs are written and programmed by human beings. What if those human beings had an agenda? What if those human beings wanted to mislead you? What if those human beings had a government mandate? Then would it be possible for a computer program to push lies? Dr. Thiel shines the light of Bible prophecy on Artificial Intelligence and its impact on humanity. With several verses from the Bible, from Psalms to Revelation, Dr. Thiel reveals the use of Artificial Intelligence in fulfilling future prophecies. Prophecies that will not bring the blessings that are being promised by the businesses that are developing the software. Software that is designed to lead the user to a specific conclusion. Does 666 ring a bell? Watch this video as Dr. Thiel cries aloud and warns the world of the coming famine of the Word of God.

Artificial Intelligence Superhuman Persuasion?

On October 30, 2023, US President Joe Biden signed an executive order to pressure companies involved with artificial intelligence (AI) to share their proprietary technology and testing data with the US government. On November 2, 2023, a bipartisan bill was introduced in the US Senate to essentially force US companies to do so. Are there serious risks that the US government is concerned about? Are there risks when governments get involved with AI? Does AI sometimes give false and misleading information? Could such be consistent with “last days” warnings from the Apostle Paul? Is the AI Jesus blasphemous? Have any associated with the World Economic Forum proposed having AI create a world religion that many feel will be better than existing ones? What are some of the “superhuman” skills that AI may develop? Are there people concerned that programs like ChatGPT may learn how to have “superhuman persuasion”? Could AI possibly be involved with the beasts of Revelation 13? Might demons also be involved? Have any government leaders used AI deep fakes in a deceptive manner? Could AI be used for ‘666’ control of buying and selling, persecution of Christians, and to be a factor in the coming ‘famine of the word’? Steve Dupuie and Dr. Thiel addresses these issues and more.

Here is a link to our video: Artificial Intelligence Superhuman Persuasion?

The Bible shows that a European dictator will rise up and be totalitarian (Revelation 13, 17:12-13)–he and the Antichrist will be very deceptive.
