I am no AI expert. Most of my experience with AI comes from asking Google questions like, "How do I keep spiders off my dock?" I find the responses are usually very helpful. I also need to pay attention to AI for my business. At a recent meeting with a potential real estate client, I asked him how he found me. He responded "ChatGPT". Luckily the search engine optimization work we've been doing was good enough to place us on the list of leaders in my area when he asked "who are top REALTORs at Lake Hartwell?". But there is plenty of room for concern regarding more important questions like "Is Jesus really the son of God"? There will be a day (and perhaps that day is already here) when some AI users will take the answers they receive as gospel. But how does AI decide what the answer is? My understanding is that it is scanning the internet for relevant articles and posts that can help build the answer. This could be helpful, but doesn't that really mean the answer is a composite of what most people think? There are plenty of times when I don't agree with what most people think. I believe truth originates from my God, the Creator of heaven and earth. Pope Leo recently released his first encyclical entitled *Magnificia Humanitas* which addresses AI. One of his conclusions is that he is not so concerned about AI becoming too human, but rather about humans becoming too machine-like. This article in Christianity Today provides a good summary of the encyclical. This article in Christianity Today provides a good summary of the encyclical.
