I have consistently said that AI should not be our source of information, especially when it comes to Bible, Doctrine, Theology, Christianity, Ethics, History or even Science. Obviously, there are other valuable and reliable resources and there are specific fields, which require technical expertise, but when Biblical revelation is contradicted or circumvented in favor of humanistic beliefs, then we need to be faithful to the faithful truth revealed in God's word. This is where AI (and any other "authority") must be relegated to the status of extraneous information (or misinformation).
During a Bible study session and also in a Young Adult Meeting I recently demonstrated some concerns I have about using AI as a tool, as it relates to Christian issues (Bible, Doctrine, etc.). In my carefully constructed "conversation" with Gemini, I elicited answers and comments from Gemini which were strictly Biblical. As a result, it looked like AI is a reliable resource for studying the Bible, since I endeavor to teach the truths of God's word. I framed my questions, and comments in such a way that Gemini was limited to Biblical answers, without human opinions (regardless of doctrinal persuasions).
I realize that legitimate questions and comments may be styled in such a way that false assumptions can be made, whether by AI or actual men. Knowing this, I tried not to "influence" Gemini with leading questions or trickery. I was looking for Gemini's "honest" and factually based information to my questions.
In response to my inquiry, Gemini gave answers and information from Scripture and Biblical linguistics. Gemini's responses sounded like a normal Bible study or message that I have been proclaiming for over 50 years. The reason this is worth mentioning is that my folks were not surprised by the AI responses, yet when I am talking with most people, they either deny that what I say is being found in the Bible, or they revert to human doctrinal systems to explain why the Bible does not mean what it says.
I have interacted with AI enough to know that it will revert to opinions, popular views, "expert" interpretations, man-made doctrinal systems. Remember, AI has access to nearly all of the world's knowledge and information. AI is not the voice of God. AI is the voice of man. At this point in time, AI can and will quote God's word. But it will also give man's view of God's word (whether accurate or not).
There is no substitute for knowing God's word. There is no substitute for being filled with God's word. Being filled with God's word is essential to living a life that is filled with God's Spirit. We must know and understand God's word in order to not be led astray by the message or the messengers of darkness (whether humans or spirits or cyber generated or [futuristically] cyborg related).
The most prevalent sign of the rising and pervasive influence of the anti-Christ spirit is deception. Scripture warns about being deceived by Satan, who presents himself as an "angel of light." Remember what happened in Eden and remember that Paul was concerned that the Church could be led astray by the same Liar, as was Eve.
There is no substitute for God's light, God's truth, God's leading. We receive all that God wants us to have through personal and corporate growth. Make sure that you are seeking God and His truth and make sure that you are learning God's truth through reliable, Spirit led, and Spirit filled and Christlike teachers of the word.
