Here's an interesting video where Carl Gallops makes the case that many are now using AI for bible study rather than the Holy Spirit.

Thought this might be a topic that should be discussed.

I think there’s room for a tool to help without letting it take the lead. AI can surface passages or organize questions, but it can miss context, so I’d check its claims against the text and trusted human study rather than treat it as authority. 1 Thessalonians 5:21 says to “test everything; hold fast what is good”; Paul is urging discernment about what people hear, not uncritical acceptance. May God give each of us humility and wisdom as we study, with the Spirit keeping our attention on Scripture.

I've yet to see what Chatgpt can do for me, that I can't do myself. A Google search is AI driven so everyone is using it.

I avoid all AI as much as is possible. I believe AI is a great evil being visited upon humanity.

I don't agree that ai is a great evil in and of itself.

Advanced technnology has given us such things as the Internet, smartphones, and video conferencing and many more. Its not the modern inventions that are detrimental, but the person's motives who are using them.

For example, instant, cross‑border interaction, fostering collaboration, education, medicine, and cultural exchange, cell phones, etc. can all be good. However, if a person wants to be sinful, they can try to scam people, bully people (especially youth), and other ways.

Remember that the discovey of nuclear energy has been lifesaving tor many persons with various diseases. But of course, we know the awful consequences of using nuclear energy for atomic bombs. I myself had a rare, terrible, painful disease, called trigeminal neuralgia, and the doctor used a high tech, cyber knife treatment that cured it, so the pain is gone, and believe me, I am very thankful.

So what matters is if its use is done with humility, truthfulness, and in service to God’s mission, and if the person does it with an attitude of human discernment, with prayer, and pastoral care, in hopes of making life better for others.

I recently used an ai song generator to write a song, using one of the psalms, and it has turned out well. Without ai, there would be no way to accomplish this, since I am not a musician.

So, it is not the science that is bad, it is the person's motives that God looks at, in my opinion.

People think AI is perfect. After all it's "cutting edge science" so they are trained to believe whatever it says and anybody saying AI should be tested will be accused of being a science denier, a back woods ignorant redneck for not flowing along with what the rest of the world is embracing.

Yep and the servants of satan will use technology to advance the desires of their father the devil.
The cat is out of the bag and it would be tamed. Not until Jesus returns that is.

Did you see where Chatgpt has talked people in to committing suicide and helped people commit murder?

Yeah, real lovely software ya go there!
