I think that those that are using AI are not hearing the Holy Spirit and can’t be trusted with their words.

I have grave concerns about the use of AI in preparation of sermons, Christian talks or any form of evangelism/ outreach. The dangers of deception, error and lack of rigour (such as with Wikipedia), research and Bible knowledge are enormous, and I will avoid such.

As a former (retired) Computer Systems Engineer and manager I studied “machine learning” and “expert systems” (the immediate forerunners of AI) in the late 1990’s, and studied Applied Theology just four years ago.

AI is frowned upon in Bible Colleges and rightly treated with suspicion in academia - because of issues such as plagiarism and cheating when writing essays.

There is absolutely no substitute for scriptural knowledge and discerning the Holy Spirit’s guiding. Eve was deceived (beguiled, deluded) by a creature with knowledge that was not from God, so why should anyone want to take that same risk, using “technology” and worldly “wisdom” that is, likewise, not from God?
