DO NOT TRUST AI AS A RELIABLE SOURCE (OR RESOURCE)
FOR CHRISTIAN TEACHING OR SPIRITUAL LEADERSHIP.
DECEPTION COMES THROUGH VARIOUS CHANNELS.

DECEPTION COMES THROUGH VARIOUS CHANNELS.
Sometimes people parrot back canned answers when I ask them questions about their beliefs. If I don't know where they came up with such misinformation I try to discover the source. My research may include "asking" AI some questions.
Most of the AI in use today is somewhat primitive. It searches the internet or whatever information sources available and regurgitates recorded data. I have to pay close attention to the words and the way AI responds, since it is able to mislead a person and redirect the "discussion." AI depends on programming and algorithms associated with the subject, which mixes facts with misinformation. As AI is developed, it will replace facts and truth with digitally founded answers. There will be no need to confuse people with the facts.
Though I know the Bible contains and asserts a specific truth, I may ask AI if that truth is in the Bible. Even if AI responds to my question with a correct answer, it may (probably will) add collateral information, whether accurate or erroneous, based on algorithms aligned with... "popular" beliefs or views, "what some people say," or, according to "experts" or "scholars." AI's response comes across as authoritative and immutable. AI includes extraneous information as if it is the Biblical answer and may not concede to facts and truth easily, without my persistency.
For instance, if I ask AI if the Bible asserts that God actually purifies the heart of a believer, AI may accurately respond with, "yes" and give Biblical verses as proof, but then AI may proceed to explain that it is not attainable in this life, but rather a goal we should strive for. If I indicate that I only want the Biblical answer, AI may repeat its unBiblical response. If I insist on a strictly Biblical answer, AI may eventually concede that my premise is right.
However, my inquiry with AI is a more fact-oriented discussion than I usually have with cultists or Christians who have been deceived by false doctrines. Those people will not admit to actual Biblical truth, regardless of how much Biblical evidence there is.
This is why people should not be getting Biblical understanding strictly or primarily, "second hand." Deception comes from demons, false teachers, and soulless computers.
Yes, we need accurate, honest expert input concerning Biblical teaching. But we must know what the Bible actually says, rather than what men say the Bible says.
Nothing takes the place of a personal relationship with God, a knowledge of His word, and walking in His Spirit.
