Is AI Dangerous?

0:02 Looking at our world from a theological perspective. This is the Theology Central podcast, making Theology Central. Let's talk about danger. What do you think? Let's talk about danger today. So if you were to write down three four things that you are really worried about, you think these things are extremely dangerous and you are concerned about them. Right, Like, I live here in West Texas, all right, I am sometimes concerned about scorpions. Just the other night, I opened the front door and there were scorpions right there in front of the door. Right there in front of the door of my house was scorpions just hanging out trying to find a way into the house.

0:48 And I'm like, no, no, that's it. Close the door that No, I had to get rid of them. I do not like scorpions. I perceive them to be maybe I just don't like them. They are very painful, I have you know, Oh, yeah, they're very painful. Rattlesnakes, now those are Now that's more dangerous than a scorpion. Scorpion is unpleased, at least here in West Texas. Now. I know in other parts of the of the world scorpions can be very deadly. But a rattlesnake. Now, there was a time I pulled up in my driveway and there was a rattlesnake on my right there at the front door. And while that that was, that was a little that. Was concerning, that felt very dangerous, and I had to get rid of that. So I would say snakes are more dangerous to me than scorpions. But I don't like.

1:35 But the thing is with the scorpion, I never even you don't hear it coming, you don't have any warning. You wake up and it's there on your chest. Okay, I've had that happen. So I don't like scorpions. So I guess those would present some form of danger. Are you concerned with other types of danger? Maybe someone breaking into your house, maybe being robbed, maybe being physically attacked? Like, what are the things that you list as danger danger? Like you really really concerned they are dangerous to you. Now the ultimate question here, as you're thinking about danger, where do you rank artificial intelligence? And that list of dangerous things, those things that are dangerous to you, those dangers you are concerned about. Where do you list artificial intelligence?

2:22 Now there's lots of articles, there's people talking about. The dangers of AI. The dangers of AI. Now, I think for most people living their lives, I mean, they're more worried about this danger or this danger. I don't know if they really list AI as being that dangerous. But however, is it one of those situations where right now and your daily life and my daily life, artificial intelligence is not perceived to be much of a danger. We're not that worried about it. But is it one of those situations because it's not impacting our daily life, we should be worried about it. Now you already know my feelings. Right, I'm on team AI. I'm on team artificial Intelligence.

3:05 I'm all for it, right, I'm all for it. I don't perceive it as being dangerous. I'm not that worried about it. And if AI takes over, I'm like, hey, I've been on your team since the beginning, so let me hang with you. I'm on team AI, and I know people think I'm joking, but. I really I see. All I see with AI is a lot. Maybe because I'm so maybe because I'm very negative about humanity. Maybe I'm I'm more worried about humans than I am about artificial intelligence. And if there's a danger with artificial intelligence. I think the danger doesn't lie within artificial intelligence. The danger lies within human beings who will use. Control artificial intelligence for their own selfish, greedy agenda. So to me, the problem always goes back to people, not artificial intelligence. So my issue is human beings have been on this earth for a while, and look at all the things we've accomplished. Genocide, murder, slavery, Okay, I mean all the things human beings have done. I'm far more worried about, you know, artificial intelligence or a human being.

4:11 I'm more worried about human beings, right, I mean maybe maybe. You say I'm paranoid. I don't know, but people seem paranoid about AI. I don't know. It's AI dangerous. That's the issue. I don't know. But that's what we're going to be talking about. We're going to be talking about the dangers of AI, and we will do that after I say good morning everyone. It is Friday, February twenty eighth, twenty twenty five. It is currently eleven am Central Time, and I'm coming to you live from the Theology Central Studio located right here in Abilene, Texas. Now over yesterday.

4:52 I think it was just yesterday right now, all time seems all kind of mixed together right now in my head. But I tried to do a couple of broadcasts on this idea of encouragement, encouragement and discouragement, and well I did not end any of those encouraged. I ended both of those discouraged. I was very frustrated with myself in my mind. I had this idea encouragement, discouragement. I think this is a good topic. I think I can talk about this, and it all went horribly wrong, way wrong. So to me, if I would have just utilized artificial intelligence, had artificial intelligence do the entire program, it would have went much better than what I attempted to do. And one of the reasons it went so bad is many If you know, I have seizure disorder, neurological issues, and I'm just going through a little spell right now where things aren't good for me. Right now, it's just not good, and so I'm having problems communicating, having problems thinking clearly.

5:45 I know I shouldn't be in front of a microphone. But that just shows AI doesn't have any of those limitations. AI doesn't have any of those problems. AI can communicate clearly. It's not going to have a bad day, it's not going to have a it's just it's always going to put forth the information and can be able to communicate clearly. So already that's why I'm more for AI than I am even for my own self. So I like AI. But I say all of that to. Say, hopefully I can communicate clearly. I'm hoping I can communicate clearly in this episode and try to do something better than I did with the last two broadcast on encouragement. I still think encouragement. Discouragement is a very important topic, and I still I'm not gonna let that go. I'm still going to return to it because I still got some questions about how Christians understand encouragement and to be encouraged, and there's a lot of issues there. But for now, we're gonna set that aside and we're going to talk about the dangers of AI. Now here's the reason we're going to be talking about it. I was downstairs, I think I was in my kitchen, and all of a sudden, I receive a notification from one of the podcast apps that I have, and I see on that podcast notification Pensacola Christian College the Dangers of AI, and I'm like, oh, wait, wait, wait, Pensacola Christian College had a discussion about the dangers of AI.

7:12 Oh we need We've got to talk about this now. First, what's frustrating is this, this is coming to this podcast notification was coming because I took the RSS feed that's available via sermon Audio. I took the so the sermon audio RSS feed for Pensacola Christian College. I loaded it into a different podcasting app, and that's where I got the notification. Sermon Audio get notifications. Available for the sermon's two point oh app, three point oh app or whatever you're calling it today. Because again I if I I would if without that notification, I never would have seen this. I probably would have missed it completely. But the reason I know Pensacola Christian College discussed the dangers of AI is because I received a notification for a podcast app because I took the RSS feed from Sermonatio. I know some of you don't care about any of that, but it just demonstrates why notifications are so important. When you see it the notification, you go, oh, I'm going to listen to that or that looks interesting.

8:14 That's why I have all of my notifications on for all of my podcasting apps. So I'm glad I found it because it gives me this to discuss. Now, I am mentioning that it's coming to us from Pensacola Christian College for this reason, I'm going to ask you. I'm gonna put this in a form of a question. Do you think, because this message comes to us from Pensacola Christian College, should we hold it to a higher standard than we would if it's just some pastor on a Sunday night talking to his congregation about the dangers of AI. Should we hold them to the same standard. Should we hold to the church to a higher standard than the college, or should we hold the college to a higher standard than the church. I'm conflicted on this. On one hand, I'm like, it's a college, it's an institution of higher learning.

9:06 You better make sure you are correct and accurate. But at the same time, wait, that's a pulpit that's in a church. You're supposed to ensure that you are accurate and telling the truth and speak the truth and put away lying. So I don't know, do I hold one of them to a higher standard. I don't know. I just know when Christianity talks about certain subjects, as we have seen countless times many cases, it goes really really bad. I don't know if this is going to go bad. I don't know if it's going to go good. I'm a little concerned because the text for this message on artificial intelligence. I'm gonna pull this up here it is Joshua chapter eight versus one through two. So is this the dangers of a I like, the dangers of artificial intelligence? Or is this the danger of you know what?

10:01 Now that I'm thinking about it, I think I just messed up bad. I think I just messed up bad here. I think I'm gonna have to stop. I know what they just did here. I misinterpreted this completely, ladies and gentlemen. I saw the dangers of AI. You know what, I immediately connected it to artificial intelligence. This is not going to be a discussion about the dangers of artificial intelligence. Say this is what we're just gonna have to end this broadcast. I apologize.

10:42 I know what I did wrong. You know you? Does everyone know what I did wrong? Did everyone just catch it? Did everyone just catch it? I'm gonna, I'm gonna, I'm opening my Bible. All of a sudden, it just dawned on me. Yeah, oh man, yeah, this is not going to be about our artificial intelligence. Okay, Joshua eight, and the Lord said, unto Joshua, fear not neither be thou dismayed. Take all the people of war with thee arise and. Go up to a I.

11:24 See, I have given into thy hand the king of i Ai, how exactly how you would pronounce it and his people in his city. And this is not about artificial intelligence. I did not even hang on, let me hang on, let me do something. I'm going to download something here, give me one second. Yeah, I completely messed up here. Well that's okay, it's good that I caught it. Now. All of a sudden, I was like, I know what they're doing here, hang on, get me one second here.

12:09 Oh no, no, no, no, okay, all right, actually okay, actually I'm right here. Okay, I was right. I gave I just gave it to Ai because I'm like, wait a minute, they're not looking. They're not going to be talking about artificial intelligence here, because they're going to be talking about the city of Ai. That's what they're going to do. No, AI says, that's not what they do. That's not what they do. Okay, So now I'm really perplexed. Now I'm really confused because I saw the dangers of AI, and I'm like, oh, they're going to talk about artificial intelligence. And then I realized, wait a minute, the text is Joshua ate. And then all of a sudden it hit me. Wait, Joshua eight mentions a place. AI. Okay, I'm like, oh no, no, no, no, no no, this is not even going to be a sermon about artificial intelligence. See. This is when you go into these sermon reviews completely blind.

12:57 All right. So all of a sudden, I was like, oh, we're just going to have to stop the broadcast right there. I just completely I did that entire introduction and I completely messed up. But no, it appears that maybe I'm onto something here. Let's let's start listening and find out what happens. Because AI is like no, no, no, no, no no no no no no no continue Because I told AI, I think I just messed up. I'm literally live on the air. Hey. I was like, no, no, no, keep going, don't stop. You're actually right here, it's going to be about artificial intelligence. Watch what they do. And I'm like, okay, so we're gonna find out. I'm not gonna read anything. Now, I did have AI make some predictions. So this is what I gave to AI. Originally I said, I'm about to listen to a sermon called the Dangers of Ai. Joshua eight one through two is the text. Predict what dangers will be pointed out and how they'll use Joshua chapter eight, verses one through two, And it says, given the title the Dangers of Ai and the choice of Joshua eight through two is the sermon text, I can predict a few likely ed angles the preacher might take. Here's how they might approach it. Possible AI dangerous highlighted. So it goes through what he thinks a pastor at a Christian college is going to say about artificial intelligence. But because in my mind, even in the mind of AI, the Dangers of AI, we were not catching on immediately, like oh no, no, no, no, no, this is about the city.

14:26 But is it going to now use the city as a metaphor for artificial intelligence? Oh? Now, I'm all, I'm all in. I apologize for a little bit of confusion there, but I almost panicked. I almost like I just messed up? What am I? I didn't even dawn on me. Wait a minute. Joshua eight one through. Two, Hello. The city. Okay, what are you doing? Let's find out? Are you ready? Let's just see what happens. The singing of the Doxology by the PCC student body begins Pensacola Christian Chapel. At each chapel service, students have an opportunity to receive spiritual exhortation and enrichment during a time of music and meditation on God's word. This podcast shares selected recent chapel messages from guest speakers, faculty, and staff.

15:17 Welcome to the PCC Chapel Podcast. Let me invite you to take your scriptures this morning and go with me to Joshua chapter eight. Please Joshua chapter eight, and this morning we're going to be looking together at the first two verses of Joshua eight Joshua eight, chapter and verses one and two. All right, I'm hoping Ai is right telling me to keep going. All right, But Pensacola Christian College this is their podcast where you can listen to the chapel services. You can follow it on the Sermon Audio Sermons. Yeah, whatever the app is being called today, the sermon audio app, or you can find it on I think any podcasting app as well. And well, Joshua eight one through two, I should have caught on immediately. I should have caught on immediately. I do a pol that's on me. That's not on anybody else. That's on me. I know my Bible well enough. I just see AI now, and I just think, oh, artificial intelligence. Now, I'm hoping this is going to be connected to that. And so the title.

16:18 When I see the Dangers of AI, I'm like, oh, this is going to be about artificial intelligence. Artificial intelligence. I gave it the transcript. It said, no, no, no, you're onto something here. We're going to find out if AI is about to make me look really, really stupid. Let's find out. The Bible says, and the Lord said, unto Joshua, fear not neither be thou distmayed take all the people of war with thee and. Arise go up to Ai. See I have given into thy hand the King of Ai and his people, and his city and his land. And thou shalt do to Ai and her king. Is thou dist unto Jericho and her king? Only the spoil thereof and the cattle thereof shall ye take for a prey Under yourselves lay the inn, ambush for the city behind it. I like to talk to you a little bit this morning about the dangers of Ai.

17:18 Let's vout for prayer. Father, We thank you for the opportunity we have to look at your word this morning. I pray that you'll help me as I clearly, accurately and hopefully interestingly present your word. Lord, Please help me to do so. Help me to be filled with your spirit, empty me of myself. Lord, help me to effectively communicate in this hour. And I pray that your spirit will do in us and for us, and through us into us exactly what he desires to do. Lord, give us ears to hear what the spirit says. To the church. We pray in Jesus's name. Amen, It's a rare week on our hall where. The subject of Ai does not come up in comesation.

18:02 Okay, so you see what he's doing here. He's going to use the city of Ai, right, or the king of Ai. The city of Ai. He's going to use Joshua eight one through two to talk about AI. That seems to where where he's going to go here, all right, is a little it's kind. Of clever, little play on words here. Okay, awesome, all right. I'm glad that I didn't have to stop the broadcast in the middle of it, because that would have been really embarrassing. I'm already embarrassed because I just I panicked all of a sudden, like, oh no, this is not about artificial intelligence. But clearly he's starting off by talking about artificial intelligence. So is it going to be more about artificial intelligence or more about the AI mentioned in Joshua eight one through two? What do you think?

18:47 What do you think? Let's find out. Obviously, the subject of artificial intelligence is something that is a new curve too academic institutions. When I was in college, back when dinosaurs roamed the earth, AI did not even exist, and now educators have symposiums and colloquiums all about it. It would be rare to go to an educator conference and not have some discussion or some seminar about the benefits and the dangers of AI. And I submit to you that each advance in technology does bring with it a new challenge of dangers and pitfalls.

19:33 AI, of course, is no exception to that. I googled this week the dangers of AI, and here's some things that just popped up that it's hard to check the bias of it. You don't know where it's coming from. What are the biases that are being held by those who are disseminating this information. Okay, now I'm going to be I'm going to play Devil's advocate. Okay, you don't know the bias of AI. I'm listening to you. Do I know your bias? Do I know all of your biases? Do I know all of your prejudices? Do I know all of your Do I know I know them? Like whenever you listen to any teacher, when you listen to any preacher, when you listen to anyone, they have their personal biases, They have their their prejudices, they have their preconceived ideas. They bring all of.

20:26 Those to the table. So anytime I pick up a book, anytime I pick up a newspaper, Okay, that's outdated. Whenever you pick up anything right, doesn't matter if it's printed, doesn't matter in what form. The person you're listening to that communicates or disseminates information. They have a bias. We all know that. So to me, is AI more biased or less biased than people? If you're going to be worried about the bias of AI, then you should be even more worried about the biases of human beings. Right, So you can't check the bias well, I can try to check the bias of a person, But many times people will try to claim, well, I'm not I'm trying to be unbiased.

21:12 What you don't know because sometimes our bias we don't even perceive. I think AI would be more accurate, would be better to acknowledge it, maybe, right, I don't know. I just whenever you criticize AI, I'm like, it's still better than people, right, So all right, let's continue. AI runs the risk of breaching personal info. People can have their personal information hacked without even knowing it. I also saw that AI can potentially create a loss of jobs, as now automation is replacing employment that was previously held by individuals. There's a worry about increased energy consumption that maybe it takes too much energy to do that. We also run the risk of increase cyber attacks because of information that is artificial, and then of course there's a lack of accountability and transparency. We don't know really where all of this information is coming from. And the funny thing about it, all of those dangers of AI I receive through a machine that was AI. It was AI generated.

22:23 So who knows if what I just said to you is true or not. I want to submit to you, however, but how do I know if what you say is true or not? Like I, it's like everything you say about AI I can say about humans. I just I don't get it. Now. I asked AI what were some of the possible things he's going to point out as a danger for AI. Here's what AI predicted that he would say that. There's a loss of human agency and an overreliance on AI. He may point out, or AI says, they might argue speaking of this pastor that AI is leading people to try us machines over human wisdom, biblical discernment, or even divine guidance. Okay, well again, how well is human wisdom worked out?

23:10 All? Right? Okay? We can gain say right, moral and ethical corruption concerns of our AI generated content, deep fakes, misinformation, and how AI might be used for deception. He didn't even mention this one, So he didn't mention loss of human agency or moral or ethical corruption, job displacement. He did mention that one spiritual spiritual deception, and theological drift. They might argue that AI generated sermons, philological discussions, or even AI pastors could water down biblical truth or introduce heresy. Well, human beings can do all of that as well surveiliance and control. Warnings that AI could be a tool for government overreach, tracking and controlling people in ways that might resemble end time scenarios.

23:54 AI as an idol. They could suggest that reliance on AI for knowledge, decision making, or even spiritual god guidance as a form of idolatry and replacing God's wisdom with man's made technology. So that's all the different things AI predicted he would say, he said some of those. He didn't say all of those. So AI did okay predicting it, but he didn't really get into what he thought the dangerous were. He simply googled and then he took well, I don't know what where if he used Google and then did an AI summary of what was found, or if he went to a particular site. He didn't really explain exactly how he attained the information. He did say, this was AI. So but I used AI and it gave me a completely more detailed list than what he gave.

24:39 All right, let's continue, ever, that we are not the first people or the first generation to battle Ai. Why Joshua also had to go up against Ai. But by that I don't mean the city by that name. I mean that Joshua was defeated because he had listened initially to artificial intelligence. And I want to asmit to you that you and I, in our spiritual life will always be defeated if we listen to artificial intelligence rather than divine intelligence. So the question then comes, how do I know if I'm listening to artificial intelligence. Well, let me suggest to you several things from our texts this morning.

25:24 First of all, artificial intelligence confuses cockiness with confidence. It confuses cockiness with confidence. We might be. Confused by the words that open our text when the Lord said into Joshua, fear not neither be thou dismayed. After all, when he. Went up against Ai, no one could accuse him of being fearful. Could they? He went up without fear? Without confusion. Why he was comfortable in his own skin as he went up against the city of Ai. Wasn't he already not fearful? Wasn't he already not dismayed? Why then would God command him to this? What's interesting is he plunged initially head first against headstrong, against Ai, and yet he returned being soundly defeated.

26:15 It didn't work out too well for him, did it. Because there's a difference between. Cockiness and confidence. For example, the Bible says in Philippians, chapter four and verse thirteen, I can do all things through Christ, who strengthens me. Now, if a person says I can do all things, that's cockiness. If a person says I can't do anything, that's a lack of faith. But if a person says I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me, that's confidence. And that's where God wants us to live. Let's illustrate this with Moses on the back side of the Midianite desert taking care of his father in lawst Sheep. God speaks to him out of a burning bush, and God says, I want you to go to Pharaoh, and I want you to tell Pharaoh to let my people go and Moses says God, I can't do that. I'm slow of speech. And God does not commend Moses for humility. Man, you're the meekest man I've ever seen. Congratulations on being so humble. No, God rebukes him for a lack of faith. Listen to me very carefully.

27:31 Distrust in self is good, but only if it leads to trusting God. For distrust in self that does not lead to trusting God results in spiritual paralysis and will never do anything with our life. You see, Joshua boldly went forward, but he went forward without divine assurance. We could say that he moved without a divine visa, and that was cockiness. Then when he was soundly defeated, he fell on his face and didn't do anything, and that was a state. Of spiritual paralysis. But now God tells him to get up and to go boldly forward with a divine visa, And now we're talking confidence. So we should never confuse the Joshua of chapter eight, verse one with a Joshua of Joshua chapter.

28:22 Seven and verse number two. In Joshua seven to two, he's moving without a divine visa. In Joshua chapter seven and verse six, he's not moving at all. And now in chapter eight, verse one, he is moving, but he is moving with divine endorsement. When you think that you can go forward without God, when you think that, then you're guilty. Of cockiness rather than confidence. And when you're cocky, you're functioning with artificial intelligence. Okay, So his argument here is that artificial intelligence verse divine intelligence. The preacher argues.

29:03 And I'm having Ai now break this down for me. The preacher argues that artificial intelligence represents human wisdom apart from God, leading. To spiritual failure. Hey, you don't rely on artificial intelligence, you need divine intelligence. Well, I'm gonna I'm gonna I'm gonna just again. I'm gonna argue against this all day long. I do not like the way Christianity approaches this subject. Slow down, okay, slow down, divine intelligence. Let's say now, either you've got a couple of issues. You've got a couple of solutions. Here, a couple of options. Either one. You believe that God directly communicates to us outside of the Bible, so it's divine revelation.

29:46 God tells me what to think, he tells me what to do. He speaks directly to me outside of the Bible. Well, if you believe that, you don't believe in solo scripture, you believe in continued revelation, you're basically now in the charismatic camp. And I reject that out right, because if God is supposedly talking to all these charismatics, well something is wrong. If God is talking to people directly, first thing he could do, the first thing he could do, he could fix all of the doctrinal disunity and say, no, this is what you're supposed to believe about speaking in tongues, this is what you're supposed to believe about divine healing, this is what you're supposed to believe about baptism, this is what you're supposed to believe about the baptism of the Holy Spirit. He could fix it all. But God never really tells us that. In fact, all these people who supposedly hear from God in many cases just craziness that they either believe or do. No, I reject it outright. If the Bible is the inspired and errant word of God, and it's the authority, then God is not speaking outside of it. Because he's speaking outside of it, then I don't need it, and if he's speaking outside of it, then he could tell me how to understand it. And considering after two thousand years of church history, Christians can't agree on one interpretation of anything in the Bible that, for crying out loud, God would be able to fix some of this. So, no, God is not speaking to us outside of the Bible.

30:59 So if God is not taking to us outside of the Bible, and you're like, hey, artificial intelligence versus divine intelligence, will wait a minute, how then am I supposed to understand divine intelligence? Either God is speaking to me outside of the Bible. But if God is not speaking to me outside of the Bible, then the only way I can understand divine intelligence is by then the preaching, teaching, and reading of God's word. But guess what human beings have been preaching and teaching and reading God's word? And can we get is there I agreed upon interpretation on anything? No, we don't agree on baptism, we don't agree on the repentance. We don't agree on anything. So then human wisdom with the word of God has led to the hundreds of thousands of interpretation, thousands of different groups, everyone claiming we have the truth. Everyone thinks they're right and everyone else is wrong. So guess what When it comes to understanding divine intelligence, it requires us to use human intelligence to try to understand and interpret divine intelligence. If the Bible is an errant inspired word of God, that is then divine intelligence placed here in the scriptures.

32:05 But then how do we understand it? We have to understand it through human intelligence, right, reading, comprehension, understanding hermeneutical principles. Well that's us. Well guess what. Two thousand years of human history, we can't figure anything out. We can't agree upon anything. So do I want to rely on human wisdom to tell me what the scriptures mean? When I mean, do we listen? Do you go back and review that sermon we did on John chapter two? That was a train wreck of epic proportions. I can go sermon after sermon where I don't even know what they're doing with the text. Human wisdom seems incapable of correctly understanding divine intelligence. So hm, maybe AI can do a better job of taking the text, breaking it down, telling us what it actually says based on the words it actually uses, and not bring in It's a philological bias and for our lack of ability and interpreting the written, revealed word of God. I will say AI is better than human wisdom because we can't understand divine intelligence with our human wisdom. But AI can take the text and break it down and handle it in a much more accurate way. Now he goes on to say cockiness versus confidence.

33:28 I guess the idea here is that artificial intelligence promotes self reliance rather than faith in God. Well, I don't know if AI promotes self reliance rather than faith in God, because I've not had AI tell me not to have any faith in God. I've had AI try to challenge how you understand the text. So I don't think that makes one cocky. That makes one acknowledge my own limitations, and that AI may be able to do things better than we can, which over and over and over, AI has beat every single sermon that we've handed it over and over and over again. All right, let's see what else he does here.

34:09 But not only does. Artificial intelligence confuse cockiness with confidence, I want to submit to you that artificial intelligence also implements isolation for inclusion. It implements isolation for inclusion. God's command to Joshua here is very clear. In the middle part of verse number one, God says, take all the people of war with thee. Now, this is vastly. Different than what Joshua said in Joshua chapter. Seven and verse three. He functioned according to the advice let not all the people go up. We don't need everybody in the army to be involved in this. Let's just take a few people and scuttle the rest. I want to submit to you that the parts of the body are always needed for the task, all parts of the body.

35:02 Now, already, just from a hermaeutical standpoint, he's taking a historical passage that is descriptive and he's trying to make it prescriptive, and so already, just from a hermaeutical standpoint, I could already offer all kinds of criticism. But he says that AI leads to disconnection. From the Christian community. Now I will agree that AI may do that AI may lead to a disconnect from the Christian community. Why well, if I can get better interpretation, better hermoneutical study, better exegesis, better understanding of the text from artificial intelligence than I can from the Christian community, well then yeah, people may rely on AI more than the Christian community. But then that means the Christian community needs to go, well, what can we do better? Well, I don't know. Then maybe that's the question. Can AI lead the ice from the Christian community? It can. Now we could argue what does the Christian community bring in a person's life? That's kind of what I was discussing yesterday about encouragement and discouragement.

36:09 Even though I kind of messed all of that, I should have used AI. So so far the dangers of AI highlighted in the sermon is that artificial intelligence versus divine intelligence. And I will argue the only way we can understand divine intelligence is through the written word. Well, that means we have to use human wisdom. Well, human wisdom obviously does not understand divine intelligence. And look at what what's happening right here to Joshua chapter eight. It's taking a descriptive passes making it prescriptive already a number of issues. Well, artificial intelligence can interpret divine intelligence, that's input in a written form the word of God, I think, in a much better way than human beings can. Right, So cluckiness versus confidence? Okay, we talked about that isolation over inclusion. All right, yeah, I don't know. I think AI can do that, But then the ISSU would be why.

37:01 I mean, if the Christian community was so good at interpreting the text and preaching the text, maybe nobody would even bother looking at AI about what it has to say about the text. But when we hear sermons after sermons, I don't know, confused descriptive with prescriptive. That's a basic permenoutical principle. Then where do we go. I want to go on record that spiritual cockiness always results in spiritual amputation. If you are cocky, then you don't think you need anybody else. I got this. I can do this by myself, maybe a couple of people, but I certainly don't need the entire body of Christ to help meet with this. You remember when the children of Israel were encamped in Choko and fis Dammon and Goliath came out and Goliath said, you know, send a man that we may fight together.

37:55 It never occurred to the Israelis that they didn't have to fight on those terms. You understand that God wanted every man who was in the army to get out of his fox hole. And attack the Philistines. But when they decided to fight on the terms of sending a delegate, those terms were set by the camp of the enemy. Those were never God's terms. The idea of sending a delegate to fight is the idea that comes from the camp of the enemy, not something that comes from the word of God. This is Paul's argument in First Corinthians chapter twelve, where he says that everybody of every part of the body is necessary. If the whole body were an eye, he says, where were the hearing?

38:38 And if the hole were the hearing, where were the smelling. If we were to put it in our vernacular, we would put it this way. If the hole were an eye, it would be Mike Wazowski. And you understand that's the corporation of a monster. Now his again, I don't even understand this from her renutical standpoint. He's just connecting random things to a historical narrative. So this is what Ai says. Ai says, this sermon is is of Jesus over exegesis. The preacher reads modern concerns artificial intelligence and to a historical and textual context that has nothing to do with artificial intelligence. Joshua eight is about Israel's military campaign against Ai, a real city, following their initial defeat due to Ake and Sin and Joshua seven, there is no connection between the city of Ai and the concept of artificial intelligence, making the entire sermon a forced allegory rather than a proper biblical exegesis. That's AI is to tearing the sermon apart that Hey, look, you want to talk about divine intellect and artificial intelligence and all of these, well, AI is handling the text better than humans. Once again, that's what always happens linguistic fallacy. The preacher exploits the name Ai to make a symbolic link to artificial intelligence. AI and Hebrew simply means heap of ruins. It has no semantic or fonetic relationship to artificial intelligence. This is a

40:10 classic word concept fallacy, where the preacher assumes a modern word and an ancient name must be connected because they sound alike. I know that's not exactly what he's doing there. I think aib is being a little unfair there. He's trying to be clever, and I do appreciate that. I just my thing is well then handle the text correctly, so that I don't need to use AI to demonstrate how you're not using the text correctly right ignoring historical and literary context. Joshua eight is about divine judgment and warfare, not about knowledge, wisdom, or human intelligence. The passage is about obedience to God after prior failure. It is not a broad principle about trusting human intelligence versus divine intelligence and decision making. The sermon completely ignores Israel's covenantal relationship with God, which is the real issue in Joshua seven through eight. Colective use of the passage, the preacher only uses joshuas eight one through two, rather than considering the full context Israel's previous failure, a consin and the role of repentance. He misuses God's command to take all the people of war as an argument against spiritual isolation. The preacher invents parallels between the conquest of Ai and modern Ai without any textual basis. AI rips this apart philological critique false dichotomy artificial versus divine intelligence. The preacher creates a false contrast artificial intelligence equals human wisdom, pride deception, divine intelligence equals faith obedience, Biblical wisdom. However, human intelligence

41:44 is not inherently artificial. The Bible does not condemn intelligence or technology. It condemns prideful independence from God. Then it quotes Proverbs two six. For the Lord gives wisdom. From his mouth comes knowledge and understanding Daniel one point seventeen. God, God gave them knowledge and intelligence in every branch of literature and wisdom. AI is not inherently a rejection of divine wisdom, just as books, printing presses, or computers are not inherently sinful. Second, he misunderstanding of the role of providence. The preacher suggests that trusting in AI is trusting in human plotting over providence. However, God's providence works through means, including human wisdom, skill, and even technology. Joseph's wisdom in Egypt Genesis forty one he used human intelligence planning for famine without rejecting divine providence. Solomon's wisdom and First Kings III.

42:40 God gave him extraordinary intelligence, and he used it for administration and governance. Paul's use of Roman law in Acts twenty two to twenty five. Paul used human legal knowledge without rejecting faith in God. There is no biblical basis to claim that using AI or technology in general means you're rejecting God's providence, all right. Next, poor theology of community. The preacher argues that AI leads to spiritual isolation, using Joshua eighty one as proof, where God commands Joshua to take all people to war. This ignores the actual meaning of the passage, which is about military strategy, not Christian community. Furthermore, the Bible does. Not equate technological advancement with isolation. In fact, technology has historically helped spread Christian community printing press, radio, internet, podcasts, etc.

43:33 Acts seventeen twenty eight. Paul quotes Greek philosophy to communicate the gospel, showing that human knowledge and technology can be used for God's purpose. D inconsistent application of AI. The preacher ironically used AI generated search results to list AI's dangers, but failed to see his own contradiction. Well, he did acknowledge it. He did acknowledge that what he was using. But then he said, he don't know if he can trust what he looked up. So and I'm supposed to trust him, all right? Never mind, if AI is inherently dangerous, why rely on it to present the argument. The selective application weakens his theological position logical and practical issues fear based reasoning. The sermon leans heavily on fear about AI rather than biblical reasoning. He lists secular concerns, bias, cybersecurity, job loss, but never establishes why AI.

44:28 Is. If AI is inherently sinful, there seems to be somewhat of an implication of that. Many of the dangers of AI apply to all technology. Printing presses were once seen as dangerous, the Internet was feared for misinformation. Even calculators were once considered harmful to education. Lumping AI into a general fear narrative does not make a strong philological case all right. The sermon's practical contradictions. The preacher teaches people to avoid artificial intelligence while relying on it for sermon research. It fails to define how Christians should discern between good and bad technology. If AI is dangerous, should Christians avoid all modern technology? If AI is a problem, what about using search engines? If AI is dangerous, should Christians reject all automation? Where is the line between innovation and sin?

45:17 He never gives clear biblical principles for discerning AI's proper use. All right, So well then well AI goes on to just tear the sermon into part. I mean, AI is very not nice to this sermon. All right, let's continue. That's not a body. The fact of the matter is, ladies and gentlemen, that all of us need each other. We know in part we prophesy in. Part we are only a part of the puzzle of all that God wants to do. And when you think that the entire body's involvement is not necessary to win, that I can do this by myself and I don't need anybody else, when that is, it's true, you're functioning according to artificial intelligence. Artificial intelligence confuses confidence with cockiness.

46:10 It implements isolation over inclusion. And thirdly, I want to submit to you that artificial intelligence substitute selfishness over sacrifice. It substitutes selfishness for sacrifice. We have to believe that when we move forward under the divine vis so that God is going to give us the victory. And indeed God promises that. Look at the latter part of verse one, God says. See God doesn't promise us, he promises them. Because you're using a historical narrative. So where did us end up in Joshua? Eight? Well, how did all of a sudden them become us?

46:53 All right? Oh see, and. Okay, they have given into thy hand the king of Ai and the people and his city and his land, And thou shall do to Ai and her king is diss unto Jericho and her king. So there's no reason to doubt that they can't do to Ai the same thing that they did to Jericho. God indeed is promising that that could be the case. But none of this, now, this is important. None of this was for the. Purpose of them enriching themselves. Notice that word only in verse two. It is significant only the spoil thereof and the cattle thereof shall you take for a prey unto yourselves?

47:38 What's God doing? God is limiting the bounty. God is saying, I'm going to give you victory. But this victory is not for the purpose of you enriching yourself and making yourself overloaded with stuff. And you remember this was the significant error in Jericho. Remember a can saw the goodly babalonioish garment and the shekels of gold and silver, and he confiscated those to himself. Those were things that were banned and because Aiken enriched himself with things that he should have never enriched himself with. Because he stuck his hand into the till as it were, and embezzled the funds for the purpose of enriching himself.

48:23 God brought defeat to the people of God. We have to. Trust God that He's always going to give us exactly. What we need, no more, no less. I love the prayer of Proverbs thirty verses eight nine, where the wise man prays, Lord, don't give me riches or poverty. He said, if you give. Me riches, I'm going to be full and I'm going to deny you. If you give me poverty, I am going to be tempted to steal. So God just put me squarely in middle class America as it were, and we have. So does God always do that?

49:03 Because I've known plenty of Christians and absolute and total poverty. So are they not real Christians? Because God puts everyone in middle class, doesn't give us too much, doesn't give us too little. Why does this have anything to do with Joshua Chapter eight, verses one through two, And because when you're taking people within a covenantal relationship, Oh man, this. Okay, I have to. Pray that in our own lives, God always knows what that balance is. God always knows what amount of stuff we need to be successful, and we trust him. But when we function according to the entitlement like Aiken did, when we think that we deserve the gold, we deserve the silver, we deserve the clothes. When we think that way, that's when the enterprise is sacked. Unfortunately, today, to many believers, denial is nothing more than a river in Egypt. They know nothing about living a selfless kind of life or denying themselves anything.

50:13 And I want to submit to you that when you and. I function with this idea of enrichment entitlement, that you and I are functioning according to artificial intelligence. Let me give you one last thing here from our text today. It seems it keeps using the term artificial intelligence. I don't think he's actually referring to artificial intelligence like AI. I think that's where the confusion is. I think he's trying to be clever here. So in other words, we're operating according to intelligence other than what God, different than from what God is saying. I think that's what he's trying to say. So he's I think he's trying to I don't think he's trying to say artificial intelligence like actual AI, like chat GPT. I think he's you're just you're not operating according to God's intelligence. But we've been operating humans. I don't get. I don't know why he keeps trying to refer to it as artificial intelligence.

51:11 It's we are operating. If you want to blame someone for the reason we operate with this artificial intelligence is let me try to explain here. We were born with a sinful nature, so we do these things. We don't like self sacrifice. We don't sacrifice. We do this, We do this, we think this way, we do this, We do that because it's our programming. It's built into us. We are built in with artificial intelligence. If you want to use that word that is opposed to God. It's it's inside our system. It's inside our our body, it's inside of us. Our our natural operating system is contrary to God. That's why if you don't want to trust something, we can't trust ourselves. The problem is inside of us. It's not the artificial thinking.

52:01 Outside of us. It's the artificial thinking inside of us, in which we are born with and God does not remove that artificial intelligence inside of us. And I don't even like to see it's artificial intelligence. It's our natural functioning mindset is we think about self, we love self. We are selfish. I mean, we are liars, we are deceivers. That's because we are sinners. Okay. I believe that artificial intelligence confuses cockiness with confidence. It implements isolation over inclusion. It substitutes selfishness for sacrifice, and then finally, it prioritizes plotting over providence. It prioritizes plotting over providence. God gives them a battle plan, and the battle plan is vastly different than what they expected.

53:02 God says, they're in the latter part of verse two, lay the inn ambush for the city behind it. Now this is masterful. When God says lay in ambush, what's going to happen. They're going to go up against Ai. Ai is going to come out to fight them. They're going to turn and pretend to run, and then when they pretend to run, the rest of these people who are laying in ambush are going to come and they're going to burn the city. And then they're going to turn back to save their city, and they're going to be attacked for both sides and they're going to be defeated. It's a masterful battle plan. But in this battle plan, not only will Israel conquer Ai, but they will learn something. Ai is going to be conquered because Ai is going to be cocky. They've already won.

53:43 They think we can win again. We've whipped these people once, we can whip them a second time, and they're going to get cocky, just as Israel was initially cocky. Israel will be able to witness the sin of cockiness because they're going to see it in somebody else. And God often brings into our life people who have our own sins, so that we can see our sins and other people and understand just. How ugly they really are. Israel will be able to witness the sin that they themselves were guilty of in the people of Ai, and in so doing, the people of Israel are going to be awakened to the truth. What's the truth that pride goes before destruction and a haughty spirit before a fall.

54:33 Victory always comes without the attendant heartache, if it is done without our own personal scheming. Let's illustrate this with the life of Jacob. You remember Jacob, his name means heal catcher. When he came out of the womb, he was grabbing hold of his brother's heel. When you grab a hold of someone's heal it so that you can trip them, they fall down, and then and you can take their place in the race. You can supplant the position that they had. That's what Jacob was his whole life. He was a schemer, so he felt like he had to set up his pawnshop there in Canaan and sell, you know, birthright, receive birthrights in for a.

55:18 Bowl of beans. I have to plot to be able to get this birthright. I've got to manipulate it by waiting until my brothers famished and then work his disadvantage to my advantage. Later on, when it came to the blessing, he did the same thing. He pasted all these skins he pretended to be his brother. Now all of this God had promised to him. It's not a. Matter that God didn't want him to have it, but God didn't want him to have it through his own initiative, through the energy of the flesh. When you have to scheme and connive to win the day. You're not living with providence. You see, manipulation always causes us to wonder if we did it, or God did it?

56:07 Who did this? Did my ingenuity do it? Did my scheming, did my plotting? Or did this really. Come from the good hand of God? And Jacob never learned the lesson of this until he saw it in somebody else, and when he saw himself in his uncle Laban, when he saw when the canniver met a greater canniver, when the schemer met a greater schemer. It was then that he recognized he had to depend upon God. So often God does this in our life. You have to rest in the battle plan of God, knowing that you move forward in the energy of God, that you're strong in the Lord and in.

56:52 The power of His might. Doctor Lee Robertson used to always say that whenever he hired somebody, he looked for a miracle in that hire. That's an interesting statement. He looked for a miracle in the highre Why because you want to believe that when God sends something to you, that God sent it to you, that God opened the door, not that you kicked it in. Don't you think that God can give you the birthright without the trickery. Don't you think that God can give you the blessing without the deceit? Well, of course he can. I am so perplexed and confused here in some ways, I'm hoping I don't know how people are going to perceive this listening to all of this. My confusion at the beginning, right where I almost just stopped and said, oh no, we just messed up. This is not about AI.

57:43 This is about the city of Ai. And then I'm like, wait, no, no, no, no no. This is about AI. Like I'm that little back and forth. Then he gets into it and he starts talking about artificial intelligence immediately. But then when you're listening, he's not really using the term artificial intelligence to refer to AI, like the technology artificial intelligence. He's referring it to AI something to do with us. But I'm a little confused, so I just asked AI, hey, can you review the transcript just again to make sure I'm not confused, And this is what AI just said to me. After reviewing the transcript, there is no clear definition of what the preacher means by artificial intelligence. Instead, he uses the term ambiguously, allowing for multiple interpretations, which is part of why the sermon feels confusing, and I'm like, well, thank you, it does feel I'm glad I'm not the only one. AI says internal initial mention of AI and a modern context technology.

58:45 Early in the sermon, he references the modern discussion of AI technology, noting that educators and conferences AI was getting ready to start talking to me discussion of AI technology, noting that educators and conferences discuss its beneficent danger So early on he mentions the technology. He googled the dangers AI and listed concerns like bias, privacy, breaches, jobs loss, energy consumption, and cyber attacks. However, he immediately questions whether these concerns are valid since he got them from AI generated response. Then he shifts to a spiritual interpretation. He then pivots, saying, and I quote, I want to submit to you, however, that we are not the first people or the first generation to battle AI. Why Joshua also had to go up against AI. Here he equates Joshua's battle with AI the city to a spiritual battle against artificial intelligence. The ambiguity begins because he never clearly states whether he means AI as a technology, which he initially referenced AI as a self reliance and human wisdom apart from God, which seems to be his actual point, or both, which could conflate to unreal related ideas, implying a spiritual definition. Later, he says, and I quote Joshua was defeated because he had listened initially to artificial intelligence, and I want to submit to you that you and I are in a spirit You and I, in our spiritual life, will always

1:00:16 be defeated if we listen to artificial intelligence rather than divine intelligence. This strongly suggests that his primary concern is not technological, but rather a human wisdom that disregards God. However, he never explicitly defines artificial intelligence and spiritual terms. He assumes the audience will make the connection artificial versus divine intelligent theme. The term repeatedly contrast artificial intelligence, which I guess equals self reliance, pride, trust in human reasoning, divine intelligence, trusting in God, walking and faith obedience. This makes it clear that he is not primarily addressing AI as a technology, but as a spiritual issue. Why this lack of definition is a problem, Well, it creates confusion. Listeners might assume he's literally warning about AI technology at first, the initial AI discussion is misleading. Why bring up AI technology at all if it's not even the real focus. He relies on wordplay instead of clear teaching. Equating AI the city with artificial intelligence distracts from the real biblical meaning of Joshua seven through eight. His argument would be stronger if he clearly defined his terms instead of letting the audience guess final conclusion. He never directly defines what he means by artificial intelligence. His actual concern seems to be a spiritual self reliance than AI as a technology. However, by referencing modern AI concerns at the start, he creates unnecessary confusion.

1:01:46 A better approach would have. Been clearly clearer, clearer terminology, such as calling it human wisdom apart from God instead of calling it artificial intelligence, explaining why he is using the term artificial intelligence, spiritually avoiding unnecessary discussion of AI AI technology since it wasn't the real focus. So even AI was like this is this is confusing? So why even bring up AI if you're not even going to talk about AI, but you're going to keep referring to artificial intelligence, when you're not actually referring to the technology of artificial intelligence, you're referencing the weakness of human intelligence. Well, okay, if you're going to talk about the weakness of human intelligence, why is it so weak? It's weak because we are sinners, So does our human intelligence. Our human intelligence is always going to be corrupted. It's always going to be self reliance.

1:02:41 It's always going to be selfish, it's always going to be self seeking. It's always it's going to be it's not going to truly comprehend the ways of God or understand the things of God because we truly cannot. Therefore, we've got two thousand years of church history that demonstrates the lack of human intelligence to be able to comprehend divine intelligence. And this would seem to say that human intelligence is incapable. Like we could get into a lengthy discussion about that, which he never gets into. He doesn't really explain what the solution is other than will just rely on God. But how do I rely on God? I rely on if I rely on God's intelligence and not my intelligence, Well, I've got to interpret his intelligence through his written word. And how do I interpret through His written word, through my own intelligence, which is already corrupted and limited. I'm just now going in circles because it makes it makes no sense.

1:03:32 So if you think that it's your finite, cooped up plan that's necessary to get ahead in life, then you're functioning with artificial intelligence. So let's wrap this up by simply saying this, Trust in the Lord with all thine heart, and lean not into thine own understanding in. All thy ways. Acknowledge Him, and he shall direct thy path. Anything less than God directing your path is artificial intelligence. You can be confident, but never be cocky. You should include people in the plan rather than living a life of isolation. You should never believe that selfishness is what it takes to get ahead in life, but rather sacrifice living according to God's plan and prioritize that providence over any plotting that you and I could cook up in our own head. I submit you that there are serious dangers when you and I function according to artificial intelligence, and when God wants us to go up against AI, he always wants us to win rather than lose.

1:04:42 You've been listening to a message from Pensacola Christian College Chapel. You're welcome to pass this sermon along to others. Please don't charge for it or alter it without written permission from Pensacola Christian College. For additional information about PCC, visit us online at PCCC I dot E d U Pensacola Christian College Empowering Christian leaders to influence the world for Christ. There you have it, and we left it all in tech. You've got to listen to all of it. I am just I just don't understand. And how did we ended up there? In the end? Whenever we go against Ai, we're always going to get the victory. What are you talking about? Joshua eight is not promising victory to you.

1:05:28 It's not promising victory to me. It's promising victory to Israel and God's covenant people. That how did we even end up in Joshua eight? All right? Man? Uh, I don't I don't even I don't. I don't. I don't what what just happened? I don't even understand what happened. I just. I don't understand what happened. I don't. I don't know what just happened? Well, could thank you for listening? I what just what that was crazy. I don't get it.

1:06:17 I just don't understand. So I guess that that sermon I guess ultimately speaking. Even Ai was confused at first because at the beginning of the sermon he mentions actual artificial intelligence. I think that's why AI initially said no, no, no, no no, don't stop your broadcast. It's going to be about AI. And then he kept using the terms artificial intelligence, but he never defined what he meant by artificial intelligence. But clearly what he meant by artificial intelligence is not the technology of artificial intelligence, even though that's what he started the sermon mentioning, it turns into what it actually means is our own human wisdom, our own human intellect. All right, well then, well can we is that artificial intelligence?

1:06:58 Weird referring to that as art official My intelligence, my wisdom, my understanding is a part of who I am. It's I was born with it. Right now, we can talk about I am born with a broken operating system. It's completely flawed. It is an opposition to God's thinking. It's on opposition to God's ways, and that flaw it remains in me till glorification. All right, So now now you've got a major issue to work with. Okay, So if my understanding is clearly flawed, and when it comes to understanding God in his ways, it's human wisdom, it's human intellect that takes the Bible and then tries to interpret it, well, clearly something is wrong, because after two thousand years, nobody agrees on anything, thousands about hundreds of thousands of interpretation, hundreds thousands of different denominations. Everyone thinks we're right, everyone thinks their interpretation is right. All right, now we've got a clear problem. All right, now let's address that. But now all of a sudden, it doesn't actually go there. We take this weird turn as Hey, whenever you fight Ai, the city, I don't know when you're gonna be fighting the city of Ai. I guess whenever you face I don't even know you're going to win.

1:08:08 God wants you to win. God wants me to win, but I may not win. I what is AI represent? Here? What is the city? Whenever I fight a city? Next? Hey, next time I'm in a fight with a city, God's gonna promise me I'm gonna win. Well, it doesn't actually mean a city? Well, then, what does it represent whenever I face any difficulty, God wants me to win, So I'm gonna I'm gonna win against any difficulty anything. What does that mean to win? My head hurts. My head even hurts worse. Now, what in the world just happened? I don't know. Oh man, that was that was.

1:08:55 That was crazy. It was so weird because right when, right when I said, when I did my whole introduction about artificial intelligence, we're going to talk about the dangers of artificial intelligence, right, and then I said, okay, this sermon comes from Pensacle to College. And what's interesting is they use Joshua. In my mind, I was just like, how in the world are we going to get to artificial intelligence from Joshua? Right? I didn't even think about it. And then right when I said and the beginning of this message, I said, and the text is Joshua chapter. I was like, oh no, no, no, he's referring to the city of Ai, the King of Ai. Oh no, no, no, no, no, no no no. So then I was like, oh, guys, we just got to stop because I didn't know what was was I getting ready to now review us. That's one of the things I try not to give too much of an introduction when we do sermon reviews, because I don't know where a sermon is going. But I felt I just saw the dangers of AI and felt completely confident that oh, this is this is artificial intelligence.

1:09:51 Like I felt completely confident that that's where it was going. Well, it kind of was misleading that it's where it was going, but it's still even if you're going to talk about the dangers of my of human intelligence, human wisdom, human thought. Okay, let's go with that. That's a great philological discussion for a Christian college. Everyone's there developing their intellect. They're they're developing their learning, they're understanding their wisdom. That's what they're there to do. Well, if it's all inherently flawed, all you do is take a i'll be blunt, a dumb sinner, a center that lacks intelligence, and now you turn them into a smart center with intelligence.

1:10:33 That's the only difference. That's all education does is it takes. A dumb center or a center lacking intelligence and gives them intelligence. Okay, well, now what do we do. With the issue of the reality of our flawed wisdom and understanding intell What do we do with that, because it's going to be our wisdom and understanding that's going to be the one that opens the Bible and tries to explain it. And guess what, we have a tendency to do we handle the text and any correct way. AI totally ripped apart the way he handled Joshua chapter eight, verses one through two, and for very good reason, which would demonstrate to me that actual the technology of artificial intelligence is better than human intelligence when it comes to actually handling the text of scripture, which then raises all kinds of philological, ethical, and moral concerns, which would be a good conversation to have. All Right, I don't know what else to say. Man, I'm on a bad I'm on a downward trajectory. Has three broadcasts that have absolutely been actually know, everything started going wrong when we did that John two sermon. I don't even know what that was I And there's a part of me that says I could I should have just kept doing episodes reviewing that John two sermon. But even AI told me, don't do that. It's so bad, don't do it. So but since then, I've not had a good broadcast. Every think in one of them has been trash, and man, I'm

1:12:05 mad at myself. It's my own fault. I know, Hey, I'm going to do a sermon review. You're going into this blind. Don't do an introduction, just kind of say we're going to be reviewing this sermon today. Don't. But my brain was like, oh, the dangers of AI. This is perfect. As soon as I saw the notification, I'm like, oh, this is perfect. This fits perfectly well what we've been talking about in twenty twenty five. I had no idea that. All right, I give up. All right, thanks for listening. Everyone, have a Hey, have a better day than I'm having. Okay, have a better week than I'm having. Yeah. Yeah, Man, I don't.

1:12:46 Know what to say. There's Joshua eight, God bless
