    AI--What do you think?

    I read a lot of Asimov's book when I was young. He was an excellent writer; too bad he was an atheist. Then there was his commentary on the whole Bible, which simply regurgitated old and debunked liberal ideas.

    2030 AI: Human, this planet is not big enough for the both of us. Human: Pulls computer plug out of the wall.

    Historic Premillennialism and Daniel’s 70 Weeks

    I don't want Hendriksen. I want you to answer. I've read the book of Revelation for 60 years, preached on it, taught on it in Japanese and English, read commentaries on it, written lectures and papers on it. (Shall I attach my set of lectures on the whole book in Japanese? ;)) I think I have...

    Is this common sense?

    Not only did he forsake common sense, he wrote heresy--the idea that the KJV is the Holy Spirit. Absolutely awful doctrine, contra the Bible which says that Jesus is the living Word.

    AI--What do you think?

    Not in my theology!! (I know you were not serious, of course.)

    Thank you for the input. The actual statement they have to sign is more clear. I didn't want to put the whole thing here, since it is an inhouse matter. Thank you. Very interesting. I did not know this.

    Very cool.

    AI--What do you think?

    Impressive list! Unimpressive Internet. My students are mostly homeschooled. They make some of these errors, but mostly they write run-on sentences, don't know how to divide a paragraph, and that kind of error. They do pretty well at some of these others. Very true! Even supposed pro writers...

    AI--What do you think?

    The intellectual laziness is the problems. Most students tend toward this, and our job as educators is to get them past that, and make them into critical thinkers. My fear is that as AI becomes more and more powerful and omnipresent, our young people will be more and more dependent on it, and...

    AI--What do you think?

    Speaking of Greek, language acquisition is one area that I think would be impossible for AI to help. It simply requires great amounts of memorization from the student. Simply put, it is hard human work!

    AI--What do you think?

    Very interesting. Thank you! Just a few thoughts while my Greek students take a quiz. The main problem I see with this is that we educators have always considered our primary task to be teaching the students critical thinking. This "fix" (or whatever it is! ;)) appears to abandon that goal. So...

    AI--What do you think?

    The problem I see as an educator is that for a preacher to use an AI generated sermon is to abandon critical thinking. If I let AI do most of the work, am I truly studying to show myself approved unto God, rightly dividing the word of truth? Also, if the Holy Spirit is our teacher, as the...

    Thanks for the input. I had heard of these two cases.

    I misspoke. Apparently this man, Fernando D. Saraví, did study theology formally: Fernando Saravi - LOGOI. That doesn't mean I would consider him a goto source for eschatology, though.

    AI--What do you think?

    Seems to me that an AI generated sermon outline would be a kind of cheating. I'm not sure how using an AI generated sermon outline would be different from borrowing another preacher's outline. It wouldn't be tailored to the needs of the congregation unless extensively edited. Many years ago I...

    AI--What do you think?

    I've read SF novels where the hero/heroes had implanted hardware that enhances their natural abilities, powered by AI of course. Couldn't go there, myself. "I Gotta Be Me...."

    AI--What do you think?

    Google does use it, but I'm glad to know DDG has turned it off. I don't use other search engines, so I don't know about the rest. Lawsuits for slander are developing especially against ChatGPT and the like. The problem is that hostile intent must be proven to win such cases, and AI entities are...

    AI--What do you think?

    AI is in the process of changing our world. We are requiring our students to state at the end of their research papers that they have not used AI. At this point, AI makes many mistakes and I would not trust it to do a research paper very well anyway! It is not only error filled, it is...

    If someone said "muppets knockoff" in the 60's at my high school, someone would have replied, "Yeah, let's go knock off some of them." :Biggrin There was very little in the way of Christian TV and the like.
