Artificial Intelligence
Not long ago, a friend asked me to listen to a three-day Bible plan on the same three days that she was listening. The topic of the plan was written specifically for those who are writers. Since I love to write, I was looking forward to what the author of the devotional had to say.
On Day One, as I began listening to the devotional, it only took me about fifteen seconds to realize that the audio was AI-generated. I was so disappointed that I had trouble listening with intention. I did listen to all three days of the plan to honor the promise I'd made to my friend. I loved the Scripture content that was used in the series, but the audio left me uninspired. Why? Listening to the computer-generated voice made me long for the heart and soul of a real person connected to a real God.
In a world that is becoming more and more artificial, the authentic is becoming more and more attractive. We are drawn to someone who has lived and loved and cried and struggled and dreamed and celebrated! We find comfort and inspiration from someone who has gone through similar situations as we have. While computers and artificial intelligence can work for us and help us achieve some things, the idea that they can offer companionship and connection falls short.
Remember James 4:8 (CEV) that tells us, "Come near to God, and He will come near to you." There is nothing that comes close to being in the presence of our God. For some things, God has allowed us tools to assist us in the living, but nothing will ever be able to delight our heart and soul like communion with our God and our connection with the ones He made in His image.
