A discussion about the dangers of Ai

WEBVTT

1
00:00:02.160 --> 00:00:05.919
Looking at our world from a theological perspective. This is

2
00:00:05.919 --> 00:00:09.759
the Theology Central podcast, making Theology Central.

3
00:00:11.759 --> 00:00:13.320
Let's talk about danger.

4
00:00:14.279 --> 00:00:14.919
What do you think?

5
00:00:15.039 --> 00:00:18.839
Let's talk about danger today. So if you were to

6
00:00:18.879 --> 00:00:22.920
write down three four things that you are really worried about,

7
00:00:22.960 --> 00:00:27.160
you think these things are extremely dangerous and you are

8
00:00:27.280 --> 00:00:31.679
concerned about them. Right, Like, I live here in West Texas,

9
00:00:31.719 --> 00:00:36.520
all right, I am sometimes concerned about scorpions. Just the

10
00:00:36.560 --> 00:00:39.320
other night, I opened the front door and there were

11
00:00:39.399 --> 00:00:42.840
scorpions right there in front of the door. Right there

12
00:00:42.840 --> 00:00:45.359
in front of the door of my house was scorpions

13
00:00:45.439 --> 00:00:48.679
just hanging out trying to find a way into the house.

14
00:00:48.679 --> 00:00:50.880
And I'm like, no, no, that's it. Close the door

15
00:00:50.920 --> 00:00:52.960
that No, I had to get rid of them. I

16
00:00:53.200 --> 00:00:58.159
do not like scorpions. I perceive them to be maybe

17
00:00:58.200 --> 00:01:01.000
I just don't like them. They are very painful, I

18
00:01:01.079 --> 00:01:06.359
have you know, Oh, yeah, they're very painful. Rattlesnakes, now

19
00:01:06.439 --> 00:01:09.840
those are Now that's more dangerous than a scorpion. Scorpion

20
00:01:09.920 --> 00:01:11.680
is unpleased, at least here in West Texas.

21
00:01:11.680 --> 00:01:11.760
Now.

22
00:01:11.799 --> 00:01:13.480
I know in other parts of the of the world

23
00:01:13.799 --> 00:01:15.680
scorpions can be very deadly.

24
00:01:15.799 --> 00:01:17.280
But a rattlesnake.

25
00:01:17.439 --> 00:01:19.480
Now, there was a time I pulled up in my

26
00:01:19.560 --> 00:01:22.280
driveway and there was a rattlesnake on my right there

27
00:01:22.319 --> 00:01:23.079
at the front door.

28
00:01:23.439 --> 00:01:26.879
And while that that was, that was a little that.

29
00:01:26.920 --> 00:01:30.680
Was concerning, that felt very dangerous, and I had to

30
00:01:30.680 --> 00:01:33.000
get rid of that. So I would say snakes are

31
00:01:33.040 --> 00:01:35.280
more dangerous to me than scorpions. But I don't like.

32
00:01:35.519 --> 00:01:37.480
But the thing is with the scorpion, I never even

33
00:01:37.560 --> 00:01:39.640
you don't hear it coming, you don't have any warning.

34
00:01:39.680 --> 00:01:41.799
You wake up and it's there on your chest. Okay,

35
00:01:41.920 --> 00:01:44.439
I've had that happen. So I don't like scorpions. So

36
00:01:44.599 --> 00:01:48.959
I guess those would present some form of danger. Are

37
00:01:48.959 --> 00:01:51.599
you concerned with other types of danger? Maybe someone breaking

38
00:01:51.599 --> 00:01:57.359
into your house, maybe being robbed, maybe being physically attacked? Like,

39
00:01:57.560 --> 00:02:01.280
what are the things that you list as danger danger?

40
00:02:01.319 --> 00:02:04.319
Like you really really concerned they are dangerous to you.

41
00:02:05.359 --> 00:02:08.400
Now the ultimate question here, as you're thinking about danger,

42
00:02:09.080 --> 00:02:13.960
where do you rank artificial intelligence? And that list of

43
00:02:14.120 --> 00:02:17.680
dangerous things, those things that are dangerous to you, those

44
00:02:17.759 --> 00:02:22.560
dangers you are concerned about. Where do you list artificial intelligence?

45
00:02:22.599 --> 00:02:25.400
Now there's lots of articles, there's people talking about.

46
00:02:25.199 --> 00:02:28.039
The dangers of AI. The dangers of AI.

47
00:02:28.400 --> 00:02:32.080
Now, I think for most people living their lives, I mean,

48
00:02:32.120 --> 00:02:35.120
they're more worried about this danger or this danger. I

49
00:02:35.120 --> 00:02:39.319
don't know if they really list AI as being that dangerous.

50
00:02:39.479 --> 00:02:44.159
But however, is it one of those situations where right

51
00:02:44.199 --> 00:02:47.960
now and your daily life and my daily life, artificial

52
00:02:47.960 --> 00:02:50.560
intelligence is not perceived to be much of a danger.

53
00:02:50.599 --> 00:02:52.039
We're not that worried about it.

54
00:02:52.719 --> 00:02:55.240
But is it one of those situations because it's not

55
00:02:55.319 --> 00:02:58.680
impacting our daily life, we should be worried about it.

56
00:02:59.159 --> 00:03:01.240
Now you already know my feelings.

57
00:03:01.360 --> 00:03:05.360
Right, I'm on team AI. I'm on team artificial Intelligence.

58
00:03:05.439 --> 00:03:08.039
I'm all for it, right, I'm all for it. I

59
00:03:08.080 --> 00:03:11.800
don't perceive it as being dangerous. I'm not that worried

60
00:03:11.800 --> 00:03:14.479
about it. And if AI takes over, I'm like, hey,

61
00:03:14.520 --> 00:03:17.560
I've been on your team since the beginning, so let

62
00:03:17.599 --> 00:03:20.080
me hang with you. I'm on team AI, and I

63
00:03:20.120 --> 00:03:21.520
know people think I'm joking, but.

64
00:03:21.520 --> 00:03:25.240
I really I see. All I see with AI is

65
00:03:25.280 --> 00:03:25.599
a lot.

66
00:03:26.240 --> 00:03:30.840
Maybe because I'm so maybe because I'm very negative about humanity.

67
00:03:30.719 --> 00:03:34.039
Maybe I'm I'm more worried about humans than I am

68
00:03:34.080 --> 00:03:38.319
about artificial intelligence. And if there's a danger with artificial intelligence.

69
00:03:38.439 --> 00:03:41.319
I think the danger doesn't lie within artificial intelligence.

70
00:03:41.400 --> 00:03:44.680
The danger lies within human beings who will use.

71
00:03:44.719 --> 00:03:50.039
Control artificial intelligence for their own selfish, greedy agenda. So

72
00:03:50.199 --> 00:03:52.759
to me, the problem always goes back to people, not

73
00:03:52.960 --> 00:03:57.280
artificial intelligence. So my issue is human beings have been

74
00:03:57.280 --> 00:03:59.199
on this earth for a while, and look at all

75
00:03:59.199 --> 00:04:04.479
the things we've accomplished. Genocide, murder, slavery, Okay, I mean

76
00:04:04.560 --> 00:04:07.560
all the things human beings have done. I'm far more

77
00:04:07.560 --> 00:04:11.439
worried about, you know, artificial intelligence or a human being.

78
00:04:11.520 --> 00:04:15.080
I'm more worried about human beings, right, I mean maybe maybe.

79
00:04:14.800 --> 00:04:16.120
You say I'm paranoid.

80
00:04:16.160 --> 00:04:18.160
I don't know, but people seem paranoid about AI.

81
00:04:18.439 --> 00:04:21.839
I don't know. It's AI dangerous. That's the issue.

82
00:04:21.399 --> 00:04:24.360
I don't know. But that's what we're going to be

83
00:04:24.439 --> 00:04:27.319
talking about. We're going to be talking about the dangers

84
00:04:27.839 --> 00:04:31.160
of AI, and we will do that after I say

85
00:04:32.000 --> 00:04:37.160
good morning everyone. It is Friday, February twenty eighth, twenty

86
00:04:37.199 --> 00:04:41.879
twenty five. It is currently eleven am Central Time, and

87
00:04:41.959 --> 00:04:45.439
I'm coming to you live from the Theology Central Studio

88
00:04:45.519 --> 00:04:48.959
located right here in Abilene, Texas.

89
00:04:49.600 --> 00:04:51.199
Now over yesterday.

90
00:04:52.000 --> 00:04:55.279
I think it was just yesterday right now, all time

91
00:04:55.399 --> 00:04:58.319
seems all kind of mixed together right now in my head.

92
00:04:58.920 --> 00:05:01.360
But I tried to do a couple of broadcasts on

93
00:05:01.399 --> 00:05:05.560
this idea of encouragement, encouragement and discouragement, and well I

94
00:05:05.839 --> 00:05:09.160
did not end any of those encouraged. I ended both

95
00:05:09.199 --> 00:05:12.399
of those discouraged. I was very frustrated with myself in

96
00:05:12.399 --> 00:05:15.600
my mind. I had this idea encouragement, discouragement. I think

97
00:05:15.600 --> 00:05:17.600
this is a good topic. I think I can talk

98
00:05:17.639 --> 00:05:21.040
about this, and it all went horribly wrong, way wrong.

99
00:05:21.120 --> 00:05:25.160
So to me, if I would have just utilized artificial intelligence,

100
00:05:25.160 --> 00:05:28.160
had artificial intelligence do the entire program, it would have

101
00:05:28.160 --> 00:05:30.920
went much better than what I attempted to do. And

102
00:05:30.959 --> 00:05:32.839
one of the reasons it went so bad is many

103
00:05:32.839 --> 00:05:36.600
If you know, I have seizure disorder, neurological issues, and

104
00:05:36.639 --> 00:05:39.199
I'm just going through a little spell right now where

105
00:05:39.240 --> 00:05:41.879
things aren't good for me. Right now, it's just not good,

106
00:05:41.879 --> 00:05:45.439
and so I'm having problems communicating, having problems thinking clearly.

107
00:05:45.480 --> 00:05:47.279
I know I shouldn't be in front of a microphone.

108
00:05:47.439 --> 00:05:50.319
But that just shows AI doesn't have any of those limitations.

109
00:05:51.560 --> 00:05:55.319
AI doesn't have any of those problems. AI can communicate clearly.

110
00:05:55.360 --> 00:05:57.000
It's not going to have a bad day, it's not

111
00:05:57.040 --> 00:05:59.319
going to have a it's just it's always going to

112
00:05:59.360 --> 00:06:01.920
put forth the information and can be able to communicate clearly.

113
00:06:02.199 --> 00:06:04.839
So already that's why I'm more for AI than I

114
00:06:04.839 --> 00:06:06.519
am even for my own self.

115
00:06:06.959 --> 00:06:10.639
So I like AI. But I say all of that to.

116
00:06:10.639 --> 00:06:16.120
Say, hopefully I can communicate clearly. I'm hoping I can

117
00:06:16.120 --> 00:06:19.759
communicate clearly in this episode and try to do something

118
00:06:19.800 --> 00:06:22.920
better than I did with the last two broadcast on encouragement.

119
00:06:23.000 --> 00:06:25.879
I still think encouragement. Discouragement is a very important topic,

120
00:06:26.199 --> 00:06:28.879
and I still I'm not gonna let that go. I'm

121
00:06:28.879 --> 00:06:31.199
still going to return to it because I still got

122
00:06:31.240 --> 00:06:36.560
some questions about how Christians understand encouragement and to be encouraged,

123
00:06:36.639 --> 00:06:39.759
and there's a lot of issues there. But for now,

124
00:06:39.759 --> 00:06:41.920
we're gonna set that aside and we're going to talk

125
00:06:41.959 --> 00:06:44.199
about the dangers of AI. Now here's the reason we're

126
00:06:44.199 --> 00:06:47.759
going to be talking about it. I was downstairs, I

127
00:06:47.800 --> 00:06:49.920
think I was in my kitchen, and all of a sudden,

128
00:06:49.920 --> 00:06:54.680
I receive a notification from one of the podcast apps

129
00:06:54.680 --> 00:06:59.319
that I have, and I see on that podcast notification

130
00:07:00.360 --> 00:07:07.360
Pensacola Christian College the Dangers of AI, and I'm like, oh, wait, wait, wait,

131
00:07:07.600 --> 00:07:12.399
Pensacola Christian College had a discussion about the dangers of AI.

132
00:07:12.759 --> 00:07:17.439
Oh we need We've got to talk about this now. First,

133
00:07:18.279 --> 00:07:22.800
what's frustrating is this, this is coming to this podcast

134
00:07:22.839 --> 00:07:27.079
notification was coming because I took the RSS feed that's

135
00:07:27.480 --> 00:07:31.000
available via sermon Audio. I took the so the sermon

136
00:07:31.040 --> 00:07:34.839
audio RSS feed for Pensacola Christian College. I loaded it

137
00:07:34.879 --> 00:07:37.839
into a different podcasting app, and that's where I got

138
00:07:37.920 --> 00:07:38.720
the notification.

139
00:07:39.439 --> 00:07:43.000
Sermon Audio get notifications.

140
00:07:42.199 --> 00:07:44.720
Available for the sermon's two point oh app, three point

141
00:07:44.759 --> 00:07:47.360
oh app or whatever you're calling it today. Because again

142
00:07:47.439 --> 00:07:51.240
I if I I would if without that notification, I

143
00:07:51.319 --> 00:07:53.360
never would have seen this. I probably would have missed

144
00:07:53.399 --> 00:07:56.600
it completely. But the reason I know Pensacola Christian College

145
00:07:56.680 --> 00:07:59.240
discussed the dangers of AI is because I received a

146
00:07:59.319 --> 00:08:02.920
notification for a podcast app because I took the RSS

147
00:08:03.000 --> 00:08:04.959
feed from Sermonatio. I know some of you don't care

148
00:08:04.959 --> 00:08:08.040
about any of that, but it just demonstrates why notifications

149
00:08:08.079 --> 00:08:11.959
are so important. When you see it the notification, you go, oh,

150
00:08:12.040 --> 00:08:14.000
I'm going to listen to that or that looks interesting.

151
00:08:14.279 --> 00:08:16.319
That's why I have all of my notifications on for

152
00:08:16.360 --> 00:08:19.120
all of my podcasting apps. So I'm glad I found

153
00:08:19.120 --> 00:08:22.759
it because it gives me this to discuss. Now, I

154
00:08:22.839 --> 00:08:25.399
am mentioning that it's coming to us from Pensacola Christian

155
00:08:25.399 --> 00:08:28.000
College for this reason, I'm going to ask you. I'm

156
00:08:28.000 --> 00:08:30.839
gonna put this in a form of a question. Do

157
00:08:31.040 --> 00:08:35.360
you think, because this message comes to us from Pensacola

158
00:08:35.480 --> 00:08:40.879
Christian College, should we hold it to a higher standard

159
00:08:41.879 --> 00:08:45.559
than we would if it's just some pastor on a

160
00:08:45.639 --> 00:08:49.879
Sunday night talking to his congregation about the dangers of AI.

161
00:08:50.759 --> 00:08:53.240
Should we hold them to the same standard. Should we

162
00:08:53.279 --> 00:08:56.440
hold to the church to a higher standard than the college,

163
00:08:56.960 --> 00:08:59.200
or should we hold the college to a higher standard

164
00:08:59.240 --> 00:09:01.919
than the church. I'm conflicted on this. On one hand,

165
00:09:01.960 --> 00:09:06.639
I'm like, it's a college, it's an institution of higher learning.

166
00:09:06.960 --> 00:09:09.879
You better make sure you are correct and accurate.

167
00:09:10.240 --> 00:09:13.360
But at the same time, wait, that's a pulpit that's

168
00:09:13.399 --> 00:09:15.919
in a church. You're supposed to ensure that you are

169
00:09:16.000 --> 00:09:18.519
accurate and telling the truth and speak the truth and

170
00:09:18.559 --> 00:09:20.600
put away lying. So I don't know, do I hold

171
00:09:20.679 --> 00:09:23.120
one of them to a higher standard. I don't know.

172
00:09:23.200 --> 00:09:27.480
I just know when Christianity talks about certain subjects, as

173
00:09:27.519 --> 00:09:32.200
we have seen countless times many cases, it goes really

174
00:09:32.200 --> 00:09:33.879
really bad. I don't know if this is going to

175
00:09:33.879 --> 00:09:35.679
go bad. I don't know if it's going to go good.

176
00:09:35.879 --> 00:09:41.360
I'm a little concerned because the text for this message

177
00:09:41.840 --> 00:09:46.399
on artificial intelligence. I'm gonna pull this up here it

178
00:09:46.600 --> 00:09:52.080
is Joshua chapter eight versus one through two. So is

179
00:09:52.080 --> 00:09:56.080
this the dangers of a I like, the dangers of

180
00:09:56.159 --> 00:10:01.320
artificial intelligence? Or is this the danger of you know what?

181
00:10:01.559 --> 00:10:07.279
Now that I'm thinking about it, I think I just

182
00:10:07.519 --> 00:10:13.000
messed up bad. I think I just messed up bad here.

183
00:10:17.120 --> 00:10:18.440
I think I'm gonna have to stop.

184
00:10:18.679 --> 00:10:23.120
I know what they just did here. I misinterpreted this completely,

185
00:10:23.240 --> 00:10:28.000
ladies and gentlemen. I saw the dangers of AI. You

186
00:10:28.039 --> 00:10:32.919
know what, I immediately connected it to artificial intelligence. This

187
00:10:33.039 --> 00:10:35.519
is not going to be a discussion about the dangers

188
00:10:35.559 --> 00:10:40.039
of artificial intelligence. Say this is what we're just gonna

189
00:10:40.039 --> 00:10:42.320
have to end this broadcast. I apologize.

190
00:10:42.360 --> 00:10:43.480
I know what I did wrong.

191
00:10:43.559 --> 00:10:44.039
You know you?

192
00:10:44.200 --> 00:10:47.639
Does everyone know what I did wrong? Did everyone just

193
00:10:47.720 --> 00:10:55.000
catch it? Did everyone just catch it? I'm gonna, I'm gonna,

194
00:10:55.000 --> 00:10:57.679
I'm opening my Bible. All of a sudden, it just

195
00:10:57.759 --> 00:11:05.240
dawned on me. Yeah, oh man, yeah, this is not

196
00:11:05.279 --> 00:11:09.200
going to be about our artificial intelligence. Okay, Joshua eight,

197
00:11:09.639 --> 00:11:12.759
and the Lord said, unto Joshua, fear not neither be

198
00:11:12.879 --> 00:11:16.240
thou dismayed. Take all the people of war with thee

199
00:11:16.559 --> 00:11:17.840
arise and.

200
00:11:17.879 --> 00:11:22.919
Go up to a I.

201
00:11:24.960 --> 00:11:27.799
See, I have given into thy hand the king of

202
00:11:28.159 --> 00:11:31.279
i Ai, how exactly how you would pronounce it and

203
00:11:31.279 --> 00:11:33.840
his people in his city. And this is not about

204
00:11:33.919 --> 00:11:37.960
artificial intelligence. I did not even hang on, let me

205
00:11:39.279 --> 00:11:41.360
hang on, let me do something. I'm going to download

206
00:11:41.399 --> 00:11:49.679
something here, give me one second. Yeah, I completely messed

207
00:11:49.759 --> 00:11:52.919
up here. Well that's okay, it's good that I caught it. Now.

208
00:11:55.000 --> 00:11:56.559
All of a sudden, I was like, I know what

209
00:11:56.600 --> 00:12:02.679
they're doing here, hang on, get me one second here.

210
00:12:09.720 --> 00:12:13.240
Oh no, no, no, no, okay, all right, actually okay,

211
00:12:13.879 --> 00:12:16.919
actually I'm right here. Okay, I was right. I gave

212
00:12:17.000 --> 00:12:19.200
I just gave it to Ai because I'm like, wait

213
00:12:19.200 --> 00:12:21.600
a minute, they're not looking. They're not going to be

214
00:12:21.639 --> 00:12:24.679
talking about artificial intelligence here, because they're going to be

215
00:12:24.759 --> 00:12:28.039
talking about the city of Ai. That's what they're going

216
00:12:28.080 --> 00:12:31.200
to do. No, AI says, that's not what they do.

217
00:12:31.320 --> 00:12:34.480
That's not what they do. Okay, So now I'm really perplexed.

218
00:12:34.519 --> 00:12:37.320
Now I'm really confused because I saw the dangers of AI,

219
00:12:37.399 --> 00:12:39.639
and I'm like, oh, they're going to talk about artificial intelligence.

220
00:12:39.679 --> 00:12:41.240
And then I realized, wait a minute, the text is

221
00:12:41.320 --> 00:12:44.440
Joshua ate. And then all of a sudden it hit me. Wait,

222
00:12:45.080 --> 00:12:46.720
Joshua eight mentions a place.

223
00:12:47.159 --> 00:12:47.519
AI.

224
00:12:47.799 --> 00:12:50.360
Okay, I'm like, oh no, no, no, no, no no,

225
00:12:50.720 --> 00:12:52.279
this is not even going to be a sermon about

226
00:12:52.360 --> 00:12:54.879
artificial intelligence. See. This is when you go into these

227
00:12:55.159 --> 00:12:56.919
sermon reviews completely blind.

228
00:12:57.159 --> 00:12:57.519
All right.

229
00:12:57.840 --> 00:12:59.720
So all of a sudden, I was like, oh, we're

230
00:12:59.720 --> 00:13:01.639
just going to have to stop the broadcast right there.

231
00:13:01.840 --> 00:13:05.480
I just completely I did that entire introduction and I

232
00:13:05.639 --> 00:13:09.799
completely messed up. But no, it appears that maybe I'm

233
00:13:09.840 --> 00:13:12.440
onto something here. Let's let's start listening and find out

234
00:13:12.519 --> 00:13:16.320
what happens. Because AI is like no, no, no, no, no

235
00:13:16.320 --> 00:13:20.480
no no no no no no continue Because I told AI,

236
00:13:20.559 --> 00:13:22.559
I think I just messed up. I'm literally live on

237
00:13:22.600 --> 00:13:22.759
the air.

238
00:13:23.080 --> 00:13:23.200
Hey.

239
00:13:23.240 --> 00:13:25.600
I was like, no, no, no, keep going, don't stop.

240
00:13:25.879 --> 00:13:30.120
You're actually right here, it's going to be about artificial intelligence.

241
00:13:30.240 --> 00:13:32.279
Watch what they do. And I'm like, okay, so we're

242
00:13:32.320 --> 00:13:35.799
gonna find out. I'm not gonna read anything. Now, I

243
00:13:35.879 --> 00:13:38.879
did have AI make some predictions. So this is what

244
00:13:39.039 --> 00:13:43.919
I gave to AI. Originally I said, I'm about to

245
00:13:43.960 --> 00:13:47.559
listen to a sermon called the Dangers of Ai. Joshua

246
00:13:47.639 --> 00:13:50.960
eight one through two is the text. Predict what dangers

247
00:13:50.960 --> 00:13:54.120
will be pointed out and how they'll use Joshua chapter eight,

248
00:13:54.200 --> 00:13:57.039
verses one through two, And it says, given the title

249
00:13:57.120 --> 00:13:59.720
the Dangers of Ai and the choice of Joshua eight

250
00:14:00.039 --> 00:14:02.440
through two is the sermon text, I can predict a

251
00:14:02.480 --> 00:14:06.519
few likely ed angles the preacher might take. Here's how

252
00:14:06.519 --> 00:14:10.879
they might approach it. Possible AI dangerous highlighted. So it

253
00:14:10.919 --> 00:14:14.159
goes through what he thinks a pastor at a Christian

254
00:14:14.200 --> 00:14:17.879
college is going to say about artificial intelligence. But because

255
00:14:17.879 --> 00:14:20.159
in my mind, even in the mind of AI, the

256
00:14:20.240 --> 00:14:23.200
Dangers of AI, we were not catching on immediately, like

257
00:14:23.320 --> 00:14:25.559
oh no, no, no, no, no, this is about the city.

258
00:14:26.159 --> 00:14:28.039
But is it going to now use the city as

259
00:14:28.080 --> 00:14:30.519
a metaphor for artificial intelligence?

260
00:14:30.559 --> 00:14:30.759
Oh?

261
00:14:30.840 --> 00:14:33.799
Now, I'm all, I'm all in. I apologize for a

262
00:14:33.840 --> 00:14:35.879
little bit of confusion there, but I almost panicked. I

263
00:14:35.919 --> 00:14:38.559
almost like I just messed up? What am I?

264
00:14:38.559 --> 00:14:40.879
I didn't even dawn on me. Wait a minute. Joshua

265
00:14:41.000 --> 00:14:41.879
eight one through.

266
00:14:41.759 --> 00:14:43.320
Two, Hello.

267
00:14:44.759 --> 00:14:47.360
The city. Okay, what are you doing? Let's find out?

268
00:14:47.399 --> 00:14:49.919
Are you ready? Let's just see what happens.

269
00:14:55.200 --> 00:14:58.399
The singing of the Doxology by the PCC student body

270
00:14:58.440 --> 00:15:02.960
begins Pensacola Christian Chapel. At each chapel service, students have

271
00:15:03.000 --> 00:15:07.039
an opportunity to receive spiritual exhortation and enrichment during a

272
00:15:07.080 --> 00:15:11.039
time of music and meditation on God's word. This podcast

273
00:15:11.159 --> 00:15:16.039
shares selected recent chapel messages from guest speakers, faculty, and staff.

274
00:15:17.200 --> 00:15:19.840
Welcome to the PCC Chapel Podcast.

275
00:15:21.080 --> 00:15:23.159
Let me invite you to take your scriptures this morning

276
00:15:23.159 --> 00:15:26.840
and go with me to Joshua chapter eight. Please Joshua

277
00:15:27.519 --> 00:15:30.679
chapter eight, and this morning we're going to be looking

278
00:15:30.679 --> 00:15:35.519
together at the first two verses of Joshua eight Joshua eight,

279
00:15:35.720 --> 00:15:38.960
chapter and verses one and two.

280
00:15:41.039 --> 00:15:43.639
All right, I'm hoping Ai is right telling me to

281
00:15:43.720 --> 00:15:46.320
keep going. All right, But Pensacola Christian College this is

282
00:15:46.360 --> 00:15:48.879
their podcast where you can listen to the chapel services.

283
00:15:49.080 --> 00:15:52.519
You can follow it on the Sermon Audio Sermons. Yeah,

284
00:15:52.639 --> 00:15:55.840
whatever the app is being called today, the sermon audio app,

285
00:15:56.320 --> 00:15:58.759
or you can find it on I think any podcasting

286
00:15:58.799 --> 00:16:02.639
app as well. And well, Joshua eight one through two,

287
00:16:02.679 --> 00:16:04.919
I should have caught on immediately. I should have caught

288
00:16:04.960 --> 00:16:07.399
on immediately. I do a pol that's on me. That's

289
00:16:07.440 --> 00:16:10.279
not on anybody else. That's on me. I know my

290
00:16:10.360 --> 00:16:13.240
Bible well enough. I just see AI now, and I

291
00:16:13.320 --> 00:16:16.440
just think, oh, artificial intelligence. Now, I'm hoping this is

292
00:16:16.440 --> 00:16:18.399
going to be connected to that. And so the title.

293
00:16:18.399 --> 00:16:20.360
When I see the Dangers of AI, I'm like, oh,

294
00:16:20.679 --> 00:16:24.320
this is going to be about artificial intelligence. Artificial intelligence.

295
00:16:24.399 --> 00:16:26.759
I gave it the transcript. It said, no, no, no,

296
00:16:26.799 --> 00:16:29.600
you're onto something here. We're going to find out if

297
00:16:29.600 --> 00:16:32.279
AI is about to make me look really, really stupid.

298
00:16:32.399 --> 00:16:33.039
Let's find out.

299
00:16:35.200 --> 00:16:38.519
The Bible says, and the Lord said, unto Joshua, fear

300
00:16:38.679 --> 00:16:43.399
not neither be thou distmayed take all the people of

301
00:16:43.440 --> 00:16:44.600
war with thee and.

302
00:16:44.600 --> 00:16:46.639
Arise go up to Ai.

303
00:16:47.600 --> 00:16:50.600
See I have given into thy hand the King of

304
00:16:50.639 --> 00:16:53.639
Ai and his people, and his city and his land.

305
00:16:54.360 --> 00:16:57.080
And thou shalt do to Ai and her king. Is

306
00:16:57.159 --> 00:17:01.120
thou dist unto Jericho and her king? Only the spoil

307
00:17:01.200 --> 00:17:04.240
thereof and the cattle thereof shall ye take for a

308
00:17:04.319 --> 00:17:09.240
prey Under yourselves lay the inn, ambush for the city

309
00:17:10.279 --> 00:17:13.680
behind it. I like to talk to you a little

310
00:17:13.720 --> 00:17:17.119
bit this morning about the dangers of Ai.

311
00:17:18.400 --> 00:17:19.400
Let's vout for prayer.

312
00:17:19.880 --> 00:17:21.880
Father, We thank you for the opportunity we have to

313
00:17:21.920 --> 00:17:23.799
look at your word this morning. I pray that you'll

314
00:17:23.839 --> 00:17:28.559
help me as I clearly, accurately and hopefully interestingly present

315
00:17:28.599 --> 00:17:29.039
your word.

316
00:17:29.119 --> 00:17:30.839
Lord, Please help me to do so.

317
00:17:31.039 --> 00:17:34.000
Help me to be filled with your spirit, empty me

318
00:17:34.079 --> 00:17:38.160
of myself. Lord, help me to effectively communicate in this hour.

319
00:17:38.759 --> 00:17:40.799
And I pray that your spirit will do in us

320
00:17:40.920 --> 00:17:43.160
and for us, and through us into us exactly what

321
00:17:43.240 --> 00:17:46.720
he desires to do. Lord, give us ears to hear

322
00:17:46.759 --> 00:17:47.920
what the spirit says.

323
00:17:48.000 --> 00:17:54.160
To the church. We pray in Jesus's name. Amen, It's

324
00:17:54.200 --> 00:17:57.000
a rare week on our hall where.

325
00:17:56.759 --> 00:18:00.519
The subject of Ai does not come up in comesation.

326
00:18:02.680 --> 00:18:05.119
Okay, so you see what he's doing here.

327
00:18:05.160 --> 00:18:09.119
He's going to use the city of Ai, right, or

328
00:18:09.160 --> 00:18:09.960
the king of Ai.

329
00:18:10.079 --> 00:18:10.920
The city of Ai.

330
00:18:11.799 --> 00:18:14.720
He's going to use Joshua eight one through two to

331
00:18:14.799 --> 00:18:17.319
talk about AI. That seems to where where he's going

332
00:18:17.359 --> 00:18:19.480
to go here, all right, is a little it's kind.

333
00:18:19.319 --> 00:18:22.200
Of clever, little play on words here.

334
00:18:22.000 --> 00:18:26.119
Okay, awesome, all right. I'm glad that I didn't have

335
00:18:26.160 --> 00:18:27.960
to stop the broadcast in the middle of it, because

336
00:18:27.960 --> 00:18:30.720
that would have been really embarrassing. I'm already embarrassed because

337
00:18:30.720 --> 00:18:32.920
I just I panicked all of a sudden, like, oh no,

338
00:18:33.440 --> 00:18:37.279
this is not about artificial intelligence. But clearly he's starting

339
00:18:37.279 --> 00:18:40.920
off by talking about artificial intelligence. So is it going

340
00:18:41.000 --> 00:18:43.039
to be more about artificial intelligence or more about the

341
00:18:44.279 --> 00:18:46.640
AI mentioned in Joshua eight one through two? What do

342
00:18:46.680 --> 00:18:47.000
you think?

343
00:18:47.039 --> 00:18:47.440
What do you think?

344
00:18:47.519 --> 00:18:48.119
Let's find out.

345
00:18:50.240 --> 00:18:54.160
Obviously, the subject of artificial intelligence is something that is

346
00:18:54.440 --> 00:19:01.400
a new curve too academic institutions. When I was in college,

347
00:19:01.480 --> 00:19:07.079
back when dinosaurs roamed the earth, AI did not even exist,

348
00:19:07.559 --> 00:19:13.079
and now educators have symposiums and colloquiums all about it.

349
00:19:13.079 --> 00:19:15.599
It would be rare to go to an educator conference

350
00:19:15.680 --> 00:19:20.039
and not have some discussion or some seminar about the

351
00:19:20.200 --> 00:19:24.680
benefits and the dangers of AI. And I submit to

352
00:19:24.680 --> 00:19:28.599
you that each advance in technology does bring with it

353
00:19:28.720 --> 00:19:32.599
a new challenge of dangers and pitfalls.

354
00:19:33.319 --> 00:19:36.160
AI, of course, is no exception to that.

355
00:19:37.039 --> 00:19:40.640
I googled this week the dangers of AI, and here's

356
00:19:40.640 --> 00:19:43.599
some things that just popped up that it's hard to

357
00:19:43.720 --> 00:19:46.680
check the bias of it. You don't know where it's

358
00:19:46.759 --> 00:19:49.559
coming from. What are the biases that are being held

359
00:19:49.640 --> 00:19:51.799
by those who are disseminating this information.

360
00:19:53.680 --> 00:19:55.720
Okay, now I'm going to be I'm going to play

361
00:19:55.720 --> 00:19:58.640
Devil's advocate. Okay, you don't know the bias of AI.

362
00:20:01.359 --> 00:20:05.039
I'm listening to you. Do I know your bias? Do

363
00:20:05.119 --> 00:20:07.000
I know all of your biases? Do I know all

364
00:20:07.039 --> 00:20:10.039
of your prejudices? Do I know all of your Do

365
00:20:10.119 --> 00:20:12.720
I know I know them? Like whenever you listen to

366
00:20:12.799 --> 00:20:15.359
any teacher, when you listen to any preacher, when you

367
00:20:15.440 --> 00:20:20.279
listen to anyone, they have their personal biases, They have

368
00:20:20.359 --> 00:20:25.759
their their prejudices, they have their preconceived ideas. They bring

369
00:20:25.839 --> 00:20:26.160
all of.

370
00:20:26.119 --> 00:20:27.079
Those to the table.

371
00:20:27.160 --> 00:20:29.279
So anytime I pick up a book, anytime I pick

372
00:20:29.359 --> 00:20:33.279
up a newspaper, Okay, that's outdated. Whenever you pick up

373
00:20:33.359 --> 00:20:37.000
anything right, doesn't matter if it's printed, doesn't matter in

374
00:20:37.039 --> 00:20:43.480
what form. The person you're listening to that communicates or

375
00:20:43.519 --> 00:20:45.400
disseminates information.

376
00:20:45.480 --> 00:20:48.039
They have a bias. We all know that.

377
00:20:48.720 --> 00:20:55.160
So to me, is AI more biased or less biased

378
00:20:55.240 --> 00:20:58.559
than people? If you're going to be worried about the

379
00:20:58.559 --> 00:21:01.319
bias of AI, then you should be even more worried

380
00:21:01.319 --> 00:21:05.640
about the biases of human beings. Right, So you can't

381
00:21:05.759 --> 00:21:08.119
check the bias well, I can try to check the

382
00:21:08.119 --> 00:21:10.240
bias of a person, But many times people will try

383
00:21:10.279 --> 00:21:12.720
to claim, well, I'm not I'm trying to be unbiased.

384
00:21:12.759 --> 00:21:15.559
What you don't know because sometimes our bias we don't

385
00:21:15.599 --> 00:21:19.720
even perceive. I think AI would be more accurate, would

386
00:21:19.759 --> 00:21:23.319
be better to acknowledge it, maybe, right, I don't know.

387
00:21:23.400 --> 00:21:27.119
I just whenever you criticize AI, I'm like, it's still

388
00:21:27.200 --> 00:21:31.519
better than people, right, So all right, let's continue.

389
00:21:32.319 --> 00:21:36.400
AI runs the risk of breaching personal info. People can

390
00:21:36.440 --> 00:21:41.359
have their personal information hacked without even knowing it. I

391
00:21:41.400 --> 00:21:44.680
also saw that AI can potentially create a loss of jobs,

392
00:21:44.720 --> 00:21:50.720
as now automation is replacing employment that was previously held

393
00:21:50.759 --> 00:21:55.799
by individuals. There's a worry about increased energy consumption that

394
00:21:56.039 --> 00:21:58.799
maybe it takes too much energy to do that. We

395
00:21:58.880 --> 00:22:02.160
also run the risk of increase cyber attacks because of

396
00:22:03.039 --> 00:22:06.400
information that is artificial, and then of course there's a

397
00:22:06.480 --> 00:22:10.039
lack of accountability and transparency. We don't know really where

398
00:22:10.079 --> 00:22:14.039
all of this information is coming from. And the funny

399
00:22:14.039 --> 00:22:16.599
thing about it, all of those dangers of AI I

400
00:22:16.720 --> 00:22:23.440
receive through a machine that was AI. It was AI generated.

401
00:22:23.880 --> 00:22:25.599
So who knows if what I just said to you

402
00:22:25.720 --> 00:22:26.319
is true or not.

403
00:22:27.799 --> 00:22:30.960
I want to submit to you, however, but how do

404
00:22:31.039 --> 00:22:33.160
I know if what you say is true or not?

405
00:22:35.000 --> 00:22:38.640
Like I, it's like everything you say about AI I

406
00:22:38.640 --> 00:22:43.039
can say about humans. I just I don't get it. Now.

407
00:22:43.119 --> 00:22:45.559
I asked AI what were some of the possible things

408
00:22:45.599 --> 00:22:47.480
he's going to point out as a danger for AI.

409
00:22:47.759 --> 00:22:50.640
Here's what AI predicted that he would say that.

410
00:22:50.640 --> 00:22:54.000
There's a loss of human agency and an overreliance on AI.

411
00:22:54.599 --> 00:22:57.319
He may point out, or AI says, they might argue

412
00:22:57.400 --> 00:22:59.799
speaking of this pastor that AI is leading people to

413
00:22:59.839 --> 00:23:03.119
try us machines over human wisdom, biblical discernment, or even

414
00:23:03.160 --> 00:23:09.599
divine guidance. Okay, well again, how well is human wisdom

415
00:23:09.680 --> 00:23:10.119
worked out?

416
00:23:10.279 --> 00:23:10.400
All?

417
00:23:10.480 --> 00:23:10.559
Right?

418
00:23:10.599 --> 00:23:10.799
Okay?

419
00:23:10.839 --> 00:23:13.799
We can gain say right, moral and ethical corruption concerns

420
00:23:13.799 --> 00:23:17.279
of our AI generated content, deep fakes, misinformation, and how

421
00:23:17.359 --> 00:23:20.000
AI might be used for deception. He didn't even mention

422
00:23:20.119 --> 00:23:23.240
this one, So he didn't mention loss of human agency

423
00:23:23.559 --> 00:23:27.200
or moral or ethical corruption, job displacement. He did mention

424
00:23:27.319 --> 00:23:33.519
that one spiritual spiritual deception, and theological drift. They might

425
00:23:33.680 --> 00:23:37.880
argue that AI generated sermons, philological discussions, or even AI

426
00:23:37.960 --> 00:23:41.640
pastors could water down biblical truth or introduce heresy. Well,

427
00:23:42.359 --> 00:23:45.759
human beings can do all of that as well surveiliance

428
00:23:45.839 --> 00:23:48.359
and control. Warnings that AI could be a tool for

429
00:23:48.400 --> 00:23:51.720
government overreach, tracking and controlling people in ways that might

430
00:23:51.799 --> 00:23:53.599
resemble end time scenarios.

431
00:23:54.200 --> 00:23:55.400
AI as an idol.

432
00:23:55.440 --> 00:23:58.920
They could suggest that reliance on AI for knowledge, decision making,

433
00:23:59.119 --> 00:24:01.640
or even spiritual god guidance as a form of idolatry

434
00:24:03.880 --> 00:24:07.960
and replacing God's wisdom with man's made technology. So that's

435
00:24:08.039 --> 00:24:10.480
all the different things AI predicted he would say, he

436
00:24:10.599 --> 00:24:11.519
said some of those.

437
00:24:11.599 --> 00:24:12.759
He didn't say all of those.

438
00:24:12.839 --> 00:24:16.400
So AI did okay predicting it, but he didn't really

439
00:24:16.480 --> 00:24:18.920
get into what he thought the dangerous were. He simply

440
00:24:18.960 --> 00:24:21.799
googled and then he took well, I don't know what

441
00:24:22.119 --> 00:24:24.559
where if he used Google and then did an AI

442
00:24:24.759 --> 00:24:27.039
summary of what was found, or if he went to

443
00:24:27.039 --> 00:24:30.039
a particular site. He didn't really explain exactly how he

444
00:24:30.160 --> 00:24:33.759
attained the information. He did say, this was AI. So

445
00:24:33.799 --> 00:24:36.160
but I used AI and it gave me a completely

446
00:24:37.240 --> 00:24:39.240
more detailed list than what he gave.

447
00:24:39.319 --> 00:24:43.359
All right, let's continue, ever, that we are not the

448
00:24:43.400 --> 00:24:49.000
first people or the first generation to battle Ai. Why

449
00:24:49.079 --> 00:24:53.559
Joshua also had to go up against Ai. But by

450
00:24:53.559 --> 00:24:56.720
that I don't mean the city by that name. I

451
00:24:56.799 --> 00:25:01.359
mean that Joshua was defeated because he had listened initially

452
00:25:02.079 --> 00:25:06.079
to artificial intelligence. And I want to asmit to you

453
00:25:06.119 --> 00:25:09.160
that you and I, in our spiritual life will always

454
00:25:09.200 --> 00:25:14.640
be defeated if we listen to artificial intelligence rather than

455
00:25:14.759 --> 00:25:18.920
divine intelligence. So the question then comes, how do I

456
00:25:19.039 --> 00:25:22.319
know if I'm listening to artificial intelligence. Well, let me

457
00:25:22.359 --> 00:25:24.759
suggest to you several things from our texts this morning.

458
00:25:24.839 --> 00:25:31.480
First of all, artificial intelligence confuses cockiness with confidence. It

459
00:25:31.559 --> 00:25:34.359
confuses cockiness with confidence.

460
00:25:35.160 --> 00:25:35.720
We might be.

461
00:25:35.720 --> 00:25:38.160
Confused by the words that open our text when the

462
00:25:38.160 --> 00:25:42.400
Lord said into Joshua, fear not neither be thou dismayed.

463
00:25:43.119 --> 00:25:44.119
After all, when he.

464
00:25:44.079 --> 00:25:46.599
Went up against Ai, no one could accuse him of

465
00:25:46.640 --> 00:25:47.920
being fearful.

466
00:25:47.519 --> 00:25:48.000
Could they?

467
00:25:48.559 --> 00:25:52.599
He went up without fear? Without confusion. Why he was

468
00:25:52.680 --> 00:25:55.200
comfortable in his own skin as he went up against

469
00:25:55.279 --> 00:25:59.200
the city of Ai. Wasn't he already not fearful? Wasn't

470
00:25:59.200 --> 00:26:03.200
he already not dismayed? Why then would God command him

471
00:26:03.480 --> 00:26:08.880
to this? What's interesting is he plunged initially head first

472
00:26:09.119 --> 00:26:15.599
against headstrong, against Ai, and yet he returned being soundly defeated.

473
00:26:15.799 --> 00:26:18.279
It didn't work out too well for him, did it.

474
00:26:19.240 --> 00:26:21.440
Because there's a difference between.

475
00:26:21.079 --> 00:26:23.599
Cockiness and confidence.

476
00:26:24.400 --> 00:26:27.319
For example, the Bible says in Philippians, chapter four and

477
00:26:27.400 --> 00:26:31.799
verse thirteen, I can do all things through Christ, who

478
00:26:31.880 --> 00:26:35.200
strengthens me. Now, if a person says I can do

479
00:26:35.240 --> 00:26:39.680
all things, that's cockiness. If a person says I can't

480
00:26:39.680 --> 00:26:43.400
do anything, that's a lack of faith. But if a

481
00:26:43.440 --> 00:26:46.440
person says I can do all things through Christ who

482
00:26:46.480 --> 00:26:51.160
strengthens me, that's confidence. And that's where God wants us

483
00:26:51.440 --> 00:26:55.319
to live. Let's illustrate this with Moses on the back

484
00:26:55.359 --> 00:26:58.400
side of the Midianite desert taking care of his father

485
00:26:58.480 --> 00:27:01.640
in lawst Sheep. God speaks to him out of a

486
00:27:01.680 --> 00:27:03.640
burning bush, and God says, I want you to go

487
00:27:03.680 --> 00:27:06.000
to Pharaoh, and I want you to tell Pharaoh to

488
00:27:06.119 --> 00:27:10.920
let my people go and Moses says God, I can't

489
00:27:11.480 --> 00:27:16.759
do that. I'm slow of speech. And God does not

490
00:27:17.240 --> 00:27:21.640
commend Moses for humility. Man, you're the meekest man I've

491
00:27:21.640 --> 00:27:27.039
ever seen. Congratulations on being so humble. No, God rebukes

492
00:27:27.119 --> 00:27:31.519
him for a lack of faith. Listen to me very carefully.

493
00:27:31.680 --> 00:27:36.160
Distrust in self is good, but only if it leads

494
00:27:36.240 --> 00:27:40.079
to trusting God. For distrust in self that does not

495
00:27:40.359 --> 00:27:44.440
lead to trusting God results in spiritual paralysis and will

496
00:27:44.440 --> 00:27:48.839
never do anything with our life. You see, Joshua boldly

497
00:27:48.880 --> 00:27:52.640
went forward, but he went forward without divine assurance. We

498
00:27:52.640 --> 00:27:57.000
could say that he moved without a divine visa, and

499
00:27:57.039 --> 00:28:00.839
that was cockiness. Then when he was soundly defeated, he

500
00:28:00.920 --> 00:28:04.160
fell on his face and didn't do anything, and that

501
00:28:04.599 --> 00:28:05.599
was a state.

502
00:28:05.359 --> 00:28:07.319
Of spiritual paralysis.

503
00:28:07.640 --> 00:28:10.599
But now God tells him to get up and to

504
00:28:10.680 --> 00:28:14.960
go boldly forward with a divine visa, And now we're

505
00:28:15.000 --> 00:28:19.240
talking confidence. So we should never confuse the Joshua of

506
00:28:19.359 --> 00:28:23.160
chapter eight, verse one with a Joshua of Joshua chapter.

507
00:28:22.960 --> 00:28:25.240
Seven and verse number two.

508
00:28:25.480 --> 00:28:29.440
In Joshua seven to two, he's moving without a divine visa.

509
00:28:29.960 --> 00:28:33.200
In Joshua chapter seven and verse six, he's not moving

510
00:28:33.279 --> 00:28:36.559
at all. And now in chapter eight, verse one, he

511
00:28:36.680 --> 00:28:41.240
is moving, but he is moving with divine endorsement. When

512
00:28:41.279 --> 00:28:45.000
you think that you can go forward without God, when

513
00:28:45.039 --> 00:28:47.599
you think that, then you're guilty.

514
00:28:47.240 --> 00:28:49.480
Of cockiness rather than confidence.

515
00:28:49.759 --> 00:28:54.000
And when you're cocky, you're functioning with artificial intelligence.

516
00:28:56.000 --> 00:29:00.000
Okay, So his argument here is that artificial intelligence verse

517
00:29:00.319 --> 00:29:01.720
divine intelligence.

518
00:29:02.240 --> 00:29:04.119
The preacher argues.

519
00:29:03.839 --> 00:29:06.359
And I'm having Ai now break this down for me.

520
00:29:06.680 --> 00:29:12.240
The preacher argues that artificial intelligence represents human wisdom apart

521
00:29:12.279 --> 00:29:14.359
from God, leading.

522
00:29:13.960 --> 00:29:15.319
To spiritual failure.

523
00:29:16.000 --> 00:29:21.200
Hey, you don't rely on artificial intelligence, you need divine intelligence. Well,

524
00:29:21.240 --> 00:29:23.240
I'm gonna I'm gonna I'm gonna just again. I'm gonna

525
00:29:23.279 --> 00:29:26.119
argue against this all day long. I do not like

526
00:29:26.160 --> 00:29:29.480
the way Christianity approaches this subject. Slow down, okay, slow down,

527
00:29:30.480 --> 00:29:33.559
divine intelligence. Let's say now, either you've got a couple

528
00:29:33.559 --> 00:29:36.039
of issues. You've got a couple of solutions. Here, a

529
00:29:36.359 --> 00:29:41.279
couple of options. Either one. You believe that God directly

530
00:29:41.359 --> 00:29:46.079
communicates to us outside of the Bible, so it's divine revelation.

531
00:29:46.200 --> 00:29:47.920
God tells me what to think, he tells me what

532
00:29:48.039 --> 00:29:51.440
to do. He speaks directly to me outside of the Bible. Well,

533
00:29:51.480 --> 00:29:53.440
if you believe that, you don't believe in solo scripture,

534
00:29:53.559 --> 00:29:56.279
you believe in continued revelation, you're basically now in the

535
00:29:56.359 --> 00:29:59.119
charismatic camp. And I reject that out right, because if

536
00:29:59.160 --> 00:30:02.799
God is supposedly talking to all these charismatics, well something

537
00:30:02.839 --> 00:30:05.440
is wrong. If God is talking to people directly, first

538
00:30:05.480 --> 00:30:07.200
thing he could do, the first thing he could do,

539
00:30:07.359 --> 00:30:11.000
he could fix all of the doctrinal disunity and say, no,

540
00:30:11.200 --> 00:30:13.559
this is what you're supposed to believe about speaking in tongues,

541
00:30:13.720 --> 00:30:15.920
this is what you're supposed to believe about divine healing,

542
00:30:16.079 --> 00:30:18.279
this is what you're supposed to believe about baptism, this

543
00:30:18.319 --> 00:30:20.079
is what you're supposed to believe about the baptism of

544
00:30:20.119 --> 00:30:20.759
the Holy Spirit.

545
00:30:21.559 --> 00:30:24.039
He could fix it all. But God never really tells

546
00:30:24.119 --> 00:30:24.400
us that.

547
00:30:24.440 --> 00:30:26.519
In fact, all these people who supposedly hear from God

548
00:30:27.200 --> 00:30:31.279
in many cases just craziness that they either believe or do. No,

549
00:30:31.599 --> 00:30:35.720
I reject it outright. If the Bible is the inspired

550
00:30:35.799 --> 00:30:39.039
and errant word of God, and it's the authority, then

551
00:30:39.039 --> 00:30:41.640
God is not speaking outside of it. Because he's speaking

552
00:30:41.680 --> 00:30:43.799
outside of it, then I don't need it, and if

553
00:30:43.799 --> 00:30:45.759
he's speaking outside of it, then he could tell me

554
00:30:45.759 --> 00:30:48.480
how to understand it. And considering after two thousand years

555
00:30:48.480 --> 00:30:51.480
of church history, Christians can't agree on one interpretation of

556
00:30:51.519 --> 00:30:54.039
anything in the Bible that, for crying out loud, God

557
00:30:54.079 --> 00:30:55.920
would be able to fix some of this. So, no,

558
00:30:56.039 --> 00:30:58.799
God is not speaking to us outside of the Bible.

559
00:30:59.000 --> 00:31:01.039
So if God is not taking to us outside of

560
00:31:01.039 --> 00:31:05.200
the Bible, and you're like, hey, artificial intelligence versus divine intelligence,

561
00:31:05.200 --> 00:31:07.759
will wait a minute, how then am I supposed to

562
00:31:07.839 --> 00:31:10.880
understand divine intelligence? Either God is speaking to me outside

563
00:31:10.880 --> 00:31:12.759
of the Bible. But if God is not speaking to

564
00:31:12.799 --> 00:31:14.680
me outside of the Bible, then the only way I

565
00:31:14.720 --> 00:31:18.960
can understand divine intelligence is by then the preaching, teaching,

566
00:31:19.000 --> 00:31:22.720
and reading of God's word. But guess what human beings

567
00:31:22.720 --> 00:31:25.359
have been preaching and teaching and reading God's word? And

568
00:31:26.200 --> 00:31:30.000
can we get is there I agreed upon interpretation on anything? No,

569
00:31:30.279 --> 00:31:32.799
we don't agree on baptism, we don't agree on the repentance.

570
00:31:32.799 --> 00:31:36.119
We don't agree on anything. So then human wisdom with

571
00:31:36.240 --> 00:31:39.440
the word of God has led to the hundreds of

572
00:31:39.519 --> 00:31:44.240
thousands of interpretation, thousands of different groups, everyone claiming we

573
00:31:44.359 --> 00:31:47.119
have the truth. Everyone thinks they're right and everyone else

574
00:31:47.200 --> 00:31:50.599
is wrong. So guess what When it comes to understanding

575
00:31:50.960 --> 00:31:56.039
divine intelligence, it requires us to use human intelligence to

576
00:31:56.119 --> 00:31:59.759
try to understand and interpret divine intelligence. If the Bible

577
00:31:59.839 --> 00:32:02.680
is an errant inspired word of God, that is then

578
00:32:02.759 --> 00:32:05.599
divine intelligence placed here in the scriptures.

579
00:32:05.680 --> 00:32:07.400
But then how do we understand it?

580
00:32:07.519 --> 00:32:12.200
We have to understand it through human intelligence, right, reading, comprehension,

581
00:32:12.599 --> 00:32:14.559
understanding hermeneutical principles.

582
00:32:14.640 --> 00:32:16.400
Well that's us. Well guess what.

583
00:32:16.480 --> 00:32:19.759
Two thousand years of human history, we can't figure anything out.

584
00:32:19.799 --> 00:32:22.839
We can't agree upon anything. So do I want to

585
00:32:22.880 --> 00:32:26.200
rely on human wisdom to tell me what the scriptures mean?

586
00:32:26.440 --> 00:32:28.480
When I mean, do we listen? Do you go back

587
00:32:28.519 --> 00:32:31.400
and review that sermon we did on John chapter two?

588
00:32:31.759 --> 00:32:35.160
That was a train wreck of epic proportions. I can

589
00:32:35.200 --> 00:32:38.039
go sermon after sermon where I don't even know what

590
00:32:38.079 --> 00:32:41.839
they're doing with the text. Human wisdom seems incapable of

591
00:32:41.880 --> 00:32:47.799
correctly understanding divine intelligence. So hm, maybe AI can do

592
00:32:47.960 --> 00:32:51.559
a better job of taking the text, breaking it down,

593
00:32:51.960 --> 00:32:54.519
telling us what it actually says based on the words

594
00:32:54.519 --> 00:32:58.720
it actually uses, and not bring in It's a philological

595
00:32:58.839 --> 00:33:03.240
bias and for our lack of ability and interpreting the written,

596
00:33:03.359 --> 00:33:07.880
revealed word of God. I will say AI is better

597
00:33:08.079 --> 00:33:12.599
than human wisdom because we can't understand divine intelligence with

598
00:33:12.759 --> 00:33:18.559
our human wisdom. But AI can take the text and

599
00:33:18.640 --> 00:33:21.359
break it down and handle it in a much more

600
00:33:21.559 --> 00:33:27.680
accurate way. Now he goes on to say cockiness versus confidence.

601
00:33:28.279 --> 00:33:32.440
I guess the idea here is that artificial intelligence promotes

602
00:33:32.519 --> 00:33:37.559
self reliance rather than faith in God. Well, I don't

603
00:33:37.599 --> 00:33:40.559
know if AI promotes self reliance rather than faith in God,

604
00:33:40.559 --> 00:33:42.359
because I've not had AI tell me not to have

605
00:33:42.400 --> 00:33:45.160
any faith in God. I've had AI try to challenge

606
00:33:45.160 --> 00:33:50.160
how you understand the text. So I don't think that

607
00:33:50.279 --> 00:33:54.359
makes one cocky. That makes one acknowledge my own limitations,

608
00:33:54.599 --> 00:33:56.799
and that AI may be able to do things better

609
00:33:56.839 --> 00:34:00.000
than we can, which over and over and over, AI

610
00:34:00.240 --> 00:34:03.640
has beat every single sermon that we've handed it over

611
00:34:03.680 --> 00:34:06.240
and over and over again. All right, let's see what

612
00:34:06.279 --> 00:34:07.559
else he does here.

613
00:34:09.719 --> 00:34:10.440
But not only does.

614
00:34:10.440 --> 00:34:14.800
Artificial intelligence confuse cockiness with confidence, I want to submit

615
00:34:14.840 --> 00:34:20.400
to you that artificial intelligence also implements isolation for inclusion.

616
00:34:21.440 --> 00:34:26.880
It implements isolation for inclusion. God's command to Joshua here

617
00:34:27.000 --> 00:34:30.039
is very clear. In the middle part of verse number one,

618
00:34:30.280 --> 00:34:34.920
God says, take all the people of war with thee.

619
00:34:35.519 --> 00:34:36.800
Now, this is vastly.

620
00:34:36.480 --> 00:34:39.119
Different than what Joshua said in Joshua chapter.

621
00:34:38.960 --> 00:34:39.719
Seven and verse three.

622
00:34:40.039 --> 00:34:43.000
He functioned according to the advice let not all the

623
00:34:43.039 --> 00:34:47.360
people go up. We don't need everybody in the army

624
00:34:47.400 --> 00:34:50.880
to be involved in this. Let's just take a few

625
00:34:50.960 --> 00:34:55.079
people and scuttle the rest. I want to submit to

626
00:34:55.119 --> 00:34:58.280
you that the parts of the body are always needed

627
00:34:58.320 --> 00:35:00.599
for the task, all parts of the body.

628
00:35:02.480 --> 00:35:06.480
Now, already, just from a hermaeutical standpoint, he's taking a

629
00:35:07.159 --> 00:35:12.639
historical passage that is descriptive and he's trying to make

630
00:35:12.679 --> 00:35:17.119
it prescriptive, and so already, just from a hermaeutical standpoint,

631
00:35:17.159 --> 00:35:19.679
I could already offer all kinds of criticism. But he

632
00:35:19.719 --> 00:35:22.800
says that AI leads to disconnection.

633
00:35:22.199 --> 00:35:23.480
From the Christian community.

634
00:35:24.960 --> 00:35:28.960
Now I will agree that AI may do that AI

635
00:35:29.079 --> 00:35:33.280
may lead to a disconnect from the Christian community. Why well,

636
00:35:33.599 --> 00:35:39.679
if I can get better interpretation, better hermoneutical study, better exegesis,

637
00:35:40.039 --> 00:35:43.360
better understanding of the text from artificial intelligence than I

638
00:35:43.400 --> 00:35:47.079
can from the Christian community, well then yeah, people may

639
00:35:47.119 --> 00:35:49.760
rely on AI more than the Christian community. But then

640
00:35:49.760 --> 00:35:52.079
that means the Christian community needs to go, well, what

641
00:35:52.280 --> 00:35:54.840
can we do better? Well, I don't know. Then maybe

642
00:35:54.840 --> 00:36:00.679
that's the question. Can AI lead the ice from the

643
00:36:00.719 --> 00:36:02.880
Christian community? It can. Now we could argue what does

644
00:36:02.920 --> 00:36:05.519
the Christian community bring in a person's life? That's kind

645
00:36:05.559 --> 00:36:08.960
of what I was discussing yesterday about encouragement and discouragement.

646
00:36:09.000 --> 00:36:10.480
Even though I kind of messed all of that, I

647
00:36:10.480 --> 00:36:16.199
should have used AI. So so far the dangers of

648
00:36:16.239 --> 00:36:19.159
AI highlighted in the sermon is that artificial intelligence versus

649
00:36:19.199 --> 00:36:21.519
divine intelligence. And I will argue the only way we

650
00:36:21.519 --> 00:36:25.239
can understand divine intelligence is through the written word. Well,

651
00:36:25.280 --> 00:36:27.480
that means we have to use human wisdom. Well, human

652
00:36:27.559 --> 00:36:30.800
wisdom obviously does not understand divine intelligence. And look at

653
00:36:30.800 --> 00:36:33.239
what what's happening right here to Joshua chapter eight. It's

654
00:36:33.239 --> 00:36:37.320
taking a descriptive passes making it prescriptive already a number

655
00:36:37.320 --> 00:36:42.119
of issues. Well, artificial intelligence can interpret divine intelligence, that's

656
00:36:42.199 --> 00:36:44.639
input in a written form the word of God, I think,

657
00:36:44.639 --> 00:36:46.960
in a much better way than human beings can. Right,

658
00:36:47.039 --> 00:36:51.239
So cluckiness versus confidence? Okay, we talked about that isolation

659
00:36:51.360 --> 00:36:56.400
over inclusion. All right, yeah, I don't know. I think

660
00:36:56.480 --> 00:37:00.519
AI can do that, But then the ISSU would be why.

661
00:37:01.280 --> 00:37:04.239
I mean, if the Christian community was so good at

662
00:37:04.280 --> 00:37:07.280
interpreting the text and preaching the text, maybe nobody would

663
00:37:07.320 --> 00:37:09.440
even bother looking at AI about what it has to

664
00:37:09.440 --> 00:37:13.119
say about the text. But when we hear sermons after sermons,

665
00:37:13.159 --> 00:37:16.880
I don't know, confused descriptive with prescriptive. That's a basic

666
00:37:16.960 --> 00:37:20.840
permenoutical principle. Then where do we go.

667
00:37:22.960 --> 00:37:26.840
I want to go on record that spiritual cockiness always

668
00:37:26.960 --> 00:37:31.320
results in spiritual amputation. If you are cocky, then you

669
00:37:31.360 --> 00:37:33.360
don't think you need anybody else.

670
00:37:33.840 --> 00:37:34.519
I got this.

671
00:37:34.960 --> 00:37:37.920
I can do this by myself, maybe a couple of people,

672
00:37:37.920 --> 00:37:41.239
but I certainly don't need the entire body of Christ

673
00:37:41.320 --> 00:37:44.760
to help meet with this. You remember when the children

674
00:37:44.760 --> 00:37:48.199
of Israel were encamped in Choko and fis Dammon and

675
00:37:48.239 --> 00:37:52.000
Goliath came out and Goliath said, you know, send a

676
00:37:52.000 --> 00:37:54.320
man that we may fight together.

677
00:37:55.360 --> 00:37:58.239
It never occurred to the Israelis that they didn't have

678
00:37:58.320 --> 00:37:59.800
to fight on those terms.

679
00:38:00.400 --> 00:38:03.199
You understand that God wanted every man who was in

680
00:38:03.239 --> 00:38:05.440
the army to get out of his fox hole.

681
00:38:05.800 --> 00:38:07.480
And attack the Philistines.

682
00:38:07.960 --> 00:38:10.880
But when they decided to fight on the terms of

683
00:38:10.960 --> 00:38:14.599
sending a delegate, those terms were set by the camp

684
00:38:14.639 --> 00:38:18.639
of the enemy. Those were never God's terms. The idea

685
00:38:18.679 --> 00:38:21.599
of sending a delegate to fight is the idea that

686
00:38:21.639 --> 00:38:24.239
comes from the camp of the enemy, not something that

687
00:38:24.280 --> 00:38:27.840
comes from the word of God. This is Paul's argument

688
00:38:27.920 --> 00:38:32.239
in First Corinthians chapter twelve, where he says that everybody

689
00:38:32.239 --> 00:38:35.360
of every part of the body is necessary. If the

690
00:38:35.400 --> 00:38:38.480
whole body were an eye, he says, where were the hearing?

691
00:38:38.679 --> 00:38:41.639
And if the hole were the hearing, where were the smelling.

692
00:38:42.559 --> 00:38:44.400
If we were to put it in our vernacular, we

693
00:38:44.440 --> 00:38:47.039
would put it this way. If the hole were an eye,

694
00:38:47.280 --> 00:38:51.960
it would be Mike Wazowski. And you understand that's the

695
00:38:52.159 --> 00:38:53.679
corporation of a monster.

696
00:38:56.719 --> 00:38:59.880
Now his again, I don't even understand this from her

697
00:39:00.039 --> 00:39:04.519
renutical standpoint. He's just connecting random things to a historical narrative.

698
00:39:04.719 --> 00:39:06.119
So this is what Ai says.

699
00:39:06.840 --> 00:39:11.400
Ai says, this sermon is is of Jesus over exegesis.

700
00:39:11.559 --> 00:39:14.719
The preacher reads modern concerns artificial intelligence and to a

701
00:39:14.960 --> 00:39:18.199
historical and textual context that has nothing to do with

702
00:39:18.320 --> 00:39:23.360
artificial intelligence. Joshua eight is about Israel's military campaign against Ai,

703
00:39:23.559 --> 00:39:26.639
a real city, following their initial defeat due to Ake

704
00:39:26.719 --> 00:39:31.440
and Sin and Joshua seven, there is no connection between

705
00:39:31.480 --> 00:39:34.320
the city of Ai and the concept of artificial intelligence,

706
00:39:34.679 --> 00:39:39.440
making the entire sermon a forced allegory rather than a

707
00:39:39.440 --> 00:39:43.519
proper biblical exegesis. That's AI is to tearing the sermon

708
00:39:43.519 --> 00:39:46.960
apart that Hey, look, you want to talk about divine

709
00:39:47.480 --> 00:39:51.480
intellect and artificial intelligence and all of these, well, AI

710
00:39:51.639 --> 00:39:54.239
is handling the text better than humans. Once again, that's

711
00:39:54.280 --> 00:39:58.360
what always happens linguistic fallacy. The preacher exploits the name

712
00:39:58.440 --> 00:40:01.559
Ai to make a symbolic link to artificial intelligence. AI

713
00:40:02.440 --> 00:40:05.239
and Hebrew simply means heap of ruins. It has no

714
00:40:05.760 --> 00:40:09.920
semantic or fonetic relationship to artificial intelligence. This is a

715
00:40:10.000 --> 00:40:13.199
classic word concept fallacy, where the preacher assumes a modern

716
00:40:13.199 --> 00:40:16.760
word and an ancient name must be connected because they

717
00:40:16.840 --> 00:40:19.679
sound alike. I know that's not exactly what he's doing there.

718
00:40:19.840 --> 00:40:22.440
I think aib is being a little unfair there. He's

719
00:40:22.440 --> 00:40:25.440
trying to be clever, and I do appreciate that. I

720
00:40:25.559 --> 00:40:29.800
just my thing is well then handle the text correctly,

721
00:40:29.960 --> 00:40:32.679
so that I don't need to use AI to demonstrate

722
00:40:32.719 --> 00:40:36.360
how you're not using the text correctly right ignoring historical

723
00:40:36.360 --> 00:40:39.800
and literary context. Joshua eight is about divine judgment and warfare,

724
00:40:40.039 --> 00:40:43.360
not about knowledge, wisdom, or human intelligence. The passage is

725
00:40:43.400 --> 00:40:46.159
about obedience to God after prior failure. It is not

726
00:40:46.239 --> 00:40:49.880
a broad principle about trusting human intelligence versus divine intelligence

727
00:40:50.199 --> 00:40:55.400
and decision making. The sermon completely ignores Israel's covenantal relationship

728
00:40:55.400 --> 00:40:58.039
with God, which is the real issue in Joshua seven

729
00:40:58.079 --> 00:41:02.159
through eight. Colective use of the passage, the preacher only

730
00:41:02.239 --> 00:41:05.599
uses joshuas eight one through two, rather than considering the

731
00:41:05.599 --> 00:41:08.800
full context Israel's previous failure, a consin and the role

732
00:41:08.840 --> 00:41:11.719
of repentance. He misuses God's command to take all the

733
00:41:11.760 --> 00:41:16.159
people of war as an argument against spiritual isolation. The

734
00:41:16.159 --> 00:41:19.599
preacher invents parallels between the conquest of Ai and modern

735
00:41:19.639 --> 00:41:27.000
Ai without any textual basis. AI rips this apart philological

736
00:41:27.000 --> 00:41:32.760
critique false dichotomy artificial versus divine intelligence. The preacher creates

737
00:41:32.800 --> 00:41:38.079
a false contrast artificial intelligence equals human wisdom, pride deception,

738
00:41:38.559 --> 00:41:44.840
divine intelligence equals faith obedience, Biblical wisdom. However, human intelligence

739
00:41:44.960 --> 00:41:49.159
is not inherently artificial. The Bible does not condemn intelligence

740
00:41:49.239 --> 00:41:52.880
or technology. It condemns prideful independence from God. Then it

741
00:41:52.960 --> 00:41:55.760
quotes Proverbs two six. For the Lord gives wisdom. From

742
00:41:55.800 --> 00:41:59.960
his mouth comes knowledge and understanding Daniel one point seventeen. God,

743
00:42:00.000 --> 00:42:02.760
God gave them knowledge and intelligence in every branch of

744
00:42:02.800 --> 00:42:06.760
literature and wisdom. AI is not inherently a rejection of

745
00:42:06.800 --> 00:42:10.679
divine wisdom, just as books, printing presses, or computers are

746
00:42:10.719 --> 00:42:16.280
not inherently sinful. Second, he misunderstanding of the role of providence.

747
00:42:16.639 --> 00:42:19.519
The preacher suggests that trusting in AI is trusting in

748
00:42:19.559 --> 00:42:24.000
human plotting over providence. However, God's providence works through means,

749
00:42:24.000 --> 00:42:29.960
including human wisdom, skill, and even technology. Joseph's wisdom in

750
00:42:30.119 --> 00:42:35.320
Egypt Genesis forty one he used human intelligence planning for

751
00:42:35.440 --> 00:42:40.320
famine without rejecting divine providence. Solomon's wisdom and First Kings III.

752
00:42:40.639 --> 00:42:43.480
God gave him extraordinary intelligence, and he used it for

753
00:42:43.519 --> 00:42:47.360
administration and governance. Paul's use of Roman law in Acts

754
00:42:47.440 --> 00:42:50.920
twenty two to twenty five. Paul used human legal knowledge

755
00:42:50.920 --> 00:42:54.239
without rejecting faith in God. There is no biblical basis

756
00:42:54.280 --> 00:42:57.880
to claim that using AI or technology in general means

757
00:42:57.880 --> 00:43:03.519
you're rejecting God's providence, all right. Next, poor theology of community.

758
00:43:03.800 --> 00:43:07.760
The preacher argues that AI leads to spiritual isolation, using

759
00:43:07.840 --> 00:43:11.239
Joshua eighty one as proof, where God commands Joshua to

760
00:43:11.280 --> 00:43:14.039
take all people to war. This ignores the actual meaning

761
00:43:14.039 --> 00:43:18.639
of the passage, which is about military strategy, not Christian community.

762
00:43:19.039 --> 00:43:20.320
Furthermore, the Bible does.

763
00:43:20.199 --> 00:43:26.000
Not equate technological advancement with isolation. In fact, technology has

764
00:43:26.079 --> 00:43:32.679
historically helped spread Christian community printing press, radio, internet, podcasts, etc.

765
00:43:33.559 --> 00:43:37.519
Acts seventeen twenty eight. Paul quotes Greek philosophy to communicate

766
00:43:37.559 --> 00:43:40.679
the gospel, showing that human knowledge and technology can be

767
00:43:40.800 --> 00:43:46.320
used for God's purpose. D inconsistent application of AI. The

768
00:43:46.320 --> 00:43:51.199
preacher ironically used AI generated search results to list AI's dangers,

769
00:43:51.360 --> 00:43:53.559
but failed to see his own contradiction. Well, he did

770
00:43:53.639 --> 00:43:56.440
acknowledge it. He did acknowledge that what he was using.

771
00:43:56.519 --> 00:43:57.960
But then he said, he don't know if he can

772
00:43:58.000 --> 00:44:00.679
trust what he looked up. So and I'm supposed to

773
00:44:00.719 --> 00:44:04.880
trust him, all right? Never mind, if AI is inherently dangerous,

774
00:44:04.880 --> 00:44:07.679
why rely on it to present the argument. The selective

775
00:44:07.679 --> 00:44:13.400
application weakens his theological position logical and practical issues fear

776
00:44:13.480 --> 00:44:17.159
based reasoning. The sermon leans heavily on fear about AI

777
00:44:17.320 --> 00:44:23.519
rather than biblical reasoning. He lists secular concerns, bias, cybersecurity,

778
00:44:23.639 --> 00:44:27.320
job loss, but never establishes why AI.

779
00:44:28.239 --> 00:44:28.400
Is.

780
00:44:28.559 --> 00:44:31.719
If AI is inherently sinful, there seems to be somewhat

781
00:44:31.719 --> 00:44:34.239
of an implication of that. Many of the dangers of

782
00:44:34.280 --> 00:44:38.599
AI apply to all technology. Printing presses were once seen

783
00:44:38.639 --> 00:44:43.360
as dangerous, the Internet was feared for misinformation. Even calculators

784
00:44:43.519 --> 00:44:47.199
were once considered harmful to education. Lumping AI into a

785
00:44:47.280 --> 00:44:50.760
general fear narrative does not make a strong philological case

786
00:44:51.320 --> 00:44:55.840
all right. The sermon's practical contradictions. The preacher teaches people

787
00:44:55.840 --> 00:44:59.559
to avoid artificial intelligence while relying on it for sermon research.

788
00:45:00.000 --> 00:45:02.880
It fails to define how Christians should discern between good

789
00:45:03.079 --> 00:45:06.920
and bad technology. If AI is dangerous, should Christians avoid

790
00:45:06.960 --> 00:45:10.039
all modern technology? If AI is a problem, what about

791
00:45:10.119 --> 00:45:13.400
using search engines? If AI is dangerous, should Christians reject

792
00:45:13.440 --> 00:45:17.239
all automation? Where is the line between innovation and sin?

793
00:45:17.599 --> 00:45:22.440
He never gives clear biblical principles for discerning AI's proper use.

794
00:45:22.760 --> 00:45:26.360
All right, So well then well AI goes on to

795
00:45:26.679 --> 00:45:30.440
just tear the sermon into part. I mean, AI is

796
00:45:30.639 --> 00:45:33.639
very not nice to this sermon. All right, let's continue.

797
00:45:35.119 --> 00:45:36.360
That's not a body.

798
00:45:37.400 --> 00:45:39.639
The fact of the matter is, ladies and gentlemen, that

799
00:45:39.800 --> 00:45:41.639
all of us need each other.

800
00:45:41.880 --> 00:45:44.480
We know in part we prophesy in.

801
00:45:44.519 --> 00:45:47.599
Part we are only a part of the puzzle of

802
00:45:47.639 --> 00:45:50.800
all that God wants to do. And when you think

803
00:45:50.840 --> 00:45:54.880
that the entire body's involvement is not necessary to win,

804
00:45:55.239 --> 00:45:57.679
that I can do this by myself and I don't

805
00:45:57.800 --> 00:46:01.519
need anybody else, when that is, it's true, you're functioning

806
00:46:01.559 --> 00:46:09.920
according to artificial intelligence. Artificial intelligence confuses confidence with cockiness.

807
00:46:10.360 --> 00:46:13.320
It implements isolation over inclusion.

808
00:46:13.519 --> 00:46:16.280
And thirdly, I want to submit to you that artificial

809
00:46:16.320 --> 00:46:24.920
intelligence substitute selfishness over sacrifice. It substitutes selfishness for sacrifice.

810
00:46:25.199 --> 00:46:27.880
We have to believe that when we move forward under

811
00:46:27.920 --> 00:46:30.639
the divine vis so that God is going to give

812
00:46:30.800 --> 00:46:31.559
us the victory.

813
00:46:31.599 --> 00:46:33.280
And indeed God promises that.

814
00:46:33.320 --> 00:46:36.639
Look at the latter part of verse one, God says.

815
00:46:36.400 --> 00:46:42.480
See God doesn't promise us, he promises them. Because you're

816
00:46:42.559 --> 00:46:46.239
using a historical narrative. So where did us end up

817
00:46:46.280 --> 00:46:46.960
in Joshua?

818
00:46:47.079 --> 00:46:47.320
Eight?

819
00:46:47.960 --> 00:46:52.239
Well, how did all of a sudden them become us?

820
00:46:53.039 --> 00:46:53.360
All right?

821
00:46:53.400 --> 00:46:55.800
Oh see, and.

822
00:46:57.320 --> 00:47:02.360
Okay, they have given into thy hand the king of

823
00:47:02.400 --> 00:47:05.559
Ai and the people and his city and his land,

824
00:47:05.920 --> 00:47:08.239
And thou shall do to Ai and her king is

825
00:47:08.440 --> 00:47:13.039
diss unto Jericho and her king. So there's no reason

826
00:47:13.079 --> 00:47:15.840
to doubt that they can't do to Ai the same

827
00:47:15.880 --> 00:47:19.159
thing that they did to Jericho. God indeed is promising

828
00:47:19.199 --> 00:47:20.480
that that could be the case.

829
00:47:21.760 --> 00:47:24.639
But none of this, now, this is important. None of

830
00:47:24.639 --> 00:47:25.480
this was for the.

831
00:47:25.400 --> 00:47:30.880
Purpose of them enriching themselves. Notice that word only in

832
00:47:31.000 --> 00:47:35.039
verse two. It is significant only the spoil thereof and

833
00:47:35.079 --> 00:47:38.400
the cattle thereof shall you take for a prey unto yourselves?

834
00:47:38.880 --> 00:47:41.679
What's God doing? God is limiting the bounty.

835
00:47:42.599 --> 00:47:44.360
God is saying, I'm going to give you victory.

836
00:47:44.880 --> 00:47:47.159
But this victory is not for the purpose of you

837
00:47:47.440 --> 00:47:53.840
enriching yourself and making yourself overloaded with stuff. And you

838
00:47:53.880 --> 00:47:58.519
remember this was the significant error in Jericho. Remember a

839
00:47:58.679 --> 00:48:03.360
can saw the goodly babalonioish garment and the shekels of

840
00:48:03.440 --> 00:48:08.159
gold and silver, and he confiscated those to himself. Those

841
00:48:08.199 --> 00:48:13.159
were things that were banned and because Aiken enriched himself

842
00:48:13.159 --> 00:48:15.760
with things that he should have never enriched himself with.

843
00:48:16.000 --> 00:48:18.679
Because he stuck his hand into the till as it were,

844
00:48:18.920 --> 00:48:22.280
and embezzled the funds for the purpose of enriching himself.

845
00:48:23.159 --> 00:48:27.760
God brought defeat to the people of God. We have to.

846
00:48:27.639 --> 00:48:30.639
Trust God that He's always going to give us exactly.

847
00:48:30.119 --> 00:48:34.000
What we need, no more, no less.

848
00:48:34.960 --> 00:48:38.960
I love the prayer of Proverbs thirty verses eight nine,

849
00:48:39.519 --> 00:48:43.000
where the wise man prays, Lord, don't give me riches

850
00:48:43.199 --> 00:48:44.400
or poverty.

851
00:48:44.480 --> 00:48:45.440
He said, if you give.

852
00:48:45.320 --> 00:48:47.599
Me riches, I'm going to be full and I'm going

853
00:48:47.639 --> 00:48:50.800
to deny you. If you give me poverty, I am

854
00:48:50.880 --> 00:48:55.320
going to be tempted to steal. So God just put

855
00:48:55.360 --> 00:49:00.480
me squarely in middle class America as it were, and

856
00:49:00.519 --> 00:49:00.800
we have.

857
00:49:02.360 --> 00:49:03.679
So does God always do that?

858
00:49:03.800 --> 00:49:06.920
Because I've known plenty of Christians and absolute and total poverty.

859
00:49:11.159 --> 00:49:14.440
So are they not real Christians? Because God puts everyone

860
00:49:14.440 --> 00:49:17.159
in middle class, doesn't give us too much, doesn't give

861
00:49:17.199 --> 00:49:19.639
us too little. Why does this have anything to do

862
00:49:19.719 --> 00:49:24.239
with Joshua Chapter eight, verses one through two, And because

863
00:49:24.239 --> 00:49:27.599
when you're taking people within a covenantal relationship, Oh man, this.

864
00:49:31.559 --> 00:49:34.199
Okay, I have to.

865
00:49:34.199 --> 00:49:37.000
Pray that in our own lives, God always knows what

866
00:49:37.039 --> 00:49:41.239
that balance is. God always knows what amount of stuff

867
00:49:41.280 --> 00:49:44.760
we need to be successful, and we trust him. But

868
00:49:44.880 --> 00:49:48.079
when we function according to the entitlement like Aiken did,

869
00:49:48.480 --> 00:49:51.840
when we think that we deserve the gold, we deserve

870
00:49:51.960 --> 00:49:55.800
the silver, we deserve the clothes. When we think that way,

871
00:49:56.320 --> 00:50:02.320
that's when the enterprise is sacked. Unfortunately, today, to many believers,

872
00:50:02.480 --> 00:50:05.760
denial is nothing more than a river in Egypt. They

873
00:50:05.840 --> 00:50:10.559
know nothing about living a selfless kind of life or

874
00:50:10.599 --> 00:50:12.679
denying themselves anything.

875
00:50:13.599 --> 00:50:15.239
And I want to submit to you that when you and.

876
00:50:15.159 --> 00:50:21.159
I function with this idea of enrichment entitlement, that you

877
00:50:21.239 --> 00:50:27.400
and I are functioning according to artificial intelligence. Let me

878
00:50:27.480 --> 00:50:30.079
give you one last thing here from our text today.

879
00:50:31.360 --> 00:50:34.800
It seems it keeps using the term artificial intelligence. I

880
00:50:34.800 --> 00:50:38.280
don't think he's actually referring to artificial intelligence like AI.

881
00:50:38.719 --> 00:50:40.440
I think that's where the confusion is. I think he's

882
00:50:40.440 --> 00:50:43.800
trying to be clever here. So in other words, we're

883
00:50:43.880 --> 00:50:48.960
operating according to intelligence other than what God, different than

884
00:50:48.960 --> 00:50:51.079
from what God is saying. I think that's what he's

885
00:50:51.079 --> 00:50:54.079
trying to say. So he's I think he's trying to

886
00:50:54.400 --> 00:50:56.760
I don't think he's trying to say artificial intelligence like

887
00:50:56.880 --> 00:51:00.800
actual AI, like chat GPT. I think he's you're just

888
00:51:00.920 --> 00:51:05.960
you're not operating according to God's intelligence. But we've been

889
00:51:06.039 --> 00:51:09.159
operating humans. I don't get. I don't know why he

890
00:51:09.199 --> 00:51:11.480
keeps trying to refer to it as artificial intelligence.

891
00:51:11.519 --> 00:51:13.239
It's we are operating.

892
00:51:14.239 --> 00:51:16.480
If you want to blame someone for the reason we

893
00:51:16.519 --> 00:51:19.280
operate with this artificial intelligence is let me try to

894
00:51:19.320 --> 00:51:23.000
explain here. We were born with a sinful nature, so

895
00:51:23.039 --> 00:51:24.199
we do these things.

896
00:51:24.199 --> 00:51:26.840
We don't like self sacrifice. We don't sacrifice.

897
00:51:26.880 --> 00:51:28.960
We do this, We do this, we think this way,

898
00:51:29.000 --> 00:51:32.320
we do this, We do that because it's our programming.

899
00:51:32.599 --> 00:51:36.599
It's built into us. We are built in with artificial intelligence.

900
00:51:36.639 --> 00:51:39.800
If you want to use that word that is opposed

901
00:51:39.840 --> 00:51:43.800
to God. It's it's inside our system. It's inside our

902
00:51:43.840 --> 00:51:49.320
our body, it's inside of us. Our our natural operating

903
00:51:49.480 --> 00:51:54.760
system is contrary to God. That's why if you don't

904
00:51:54.800 --> 00:51:58.159
want to trust something, we can't trust ourselves. The problem

905
00:51:58.199 --> 00:52:01.400
is inside of us. It's not the artificial thinking.

906
00:52:01.199 --> 00:52:02.360
Outside of us.

907
00:52:02.440 --> 00:52:05.360
It's the artificial thinking inside of us, in which we

908
00:52:05.480 --> 00:52:10.679
are born with and God does not remove that artificial

909
00:52:10.719 --> 00:52:13.079
intelligence inside of us. And I don't even like to

910
00:52:13.079 --> 00:52:19.079
see it's artificial intelligence. It's our natural functioning mindset is

911
00:52:19.320 --> 00:52:23.079
we think about self, we love self. We are selfish.

912
00:52:23.440 --> 00:52:26.519
I mean, we are liars, we are deceivers. That's because

913
00:52:26.519 --> 00:52:27.320
we are sinners.

914
00:52:31.199 --> 00:52:37.679
Okay. I believe that artificial intelligence confuses cockiness with confidence.

915
00:52:38.119 --> 00:52:45.119
It implements isolation over inclusion. It substitutes selfishness for sacrifice,

916
00:52:45.239 --> 00:52:51.920
and then finally, it prioritizes plotting over providence. It prioritizes

917
00:52:52.079 --> 00:52:57.920
plotting over providence. God gives them a battle plan, and

918
00:52:58.039 --> 00:53:01.639
the battle plan is vastly different than what they expected.

919
00:53:02.079 --> 00:53:04.000
God says, they're in the latter part of verse two,

920
00:53:04.199 --> 00:53:07.800
lay the inn ambush for the city behind it.

921
00:53:08.320 --> 00:53:09.599
Now this is masterful.

922
00:53:09.639 --> 00:53:11.760
When God says lay in ambush, what's going to happen.

923
00:53:11.880 --> 00:53:14.239
They're going to go up against Ai. Ai is going

924
00:53:14.280 --> 00:53:16.280
to come out to fight them. They're going to turn

925
00:53:16.320 --> 00:53:19.119
and pretend to run, and then when they pretend to run,

926
00:53:19.280 --> 00:53:20.920
the rest of these people who are laying in ambush

927
00:53:20.960 --> 00:53:22.599
are going to come and they're going to burn the city.

928
00:53:22.800 --> 00:53:24.559
And then they're going to turn back to save their city,

929
00:53:24.599 --> 00:53:26.199
and they're going to be attacked for both sides and

930
00:53:26.199 --> 00:53:28.800
they're going to be defeated. It's a masterful battle plan.

931
00:53:29.920 --> 00:53:34.039
But in this battle plan, not only will Israel conquer Ai,

932
00:53:34.719 --> 00:53:38.440
but they will learn something. Ai is going to be

933
00:53:38.639 --> 00:53:43.480
conquered because Ai is going to be cocky. They've already won.

934
00:53:43.760 --> 00:53:46.320
They think we can win again. We've whipped these people once,

935
00:53:46.559 --> 00:53:48.960
we can whip them a second time, and they're going

936
00:53:49.000 --> 00:53:54.599
to get cocky, just as Israel was initially cocky. Israel

937
00:53:54.599 --> 00:53:58.239
will be able to witness the sin of cockiness because

938
00:53:58.239 --> 00:54:01.119
they're going to see it in somebody else. And God

939
00:54:01.199 --> 00:54:04.639
often brings into our life people who have our own sins,

940
00:54:05.000 --> 00:54:07.519
so that we can see our sins and other people

941
00:54:07.840 --> 00:54:08.920
and understand just.

942
00:54:08.880 --> 00:54:11.360
How ugly they really are.

943
00:54:13.280 --> 00:54:15.920
Israel will be able to witness the sin that they

944
00:54:15.960 --> 00:54:20.360
themselves were guilty of in the people of Ai, and

945
00:54:20.440 --> 00:54:23.280
in so doing, the people of Israel are going to

946
00:54:23.280 --> 00:54:28.039
be awakened to the truth. What's the truth that pride

947
00:54:28.079 --> 00:54:32.599
goes before destruction and a haughty spirit before a fall.

948
00:54:33.719 --> 00:54:39.039
Victory always comes without the attendant heartache, if it is

949
00:54:39.119 --> 00:54:44.679
done without our own personal scheming. Let's illustrate this with

950
00:54:44.719 --> 00:54:47.840
the life of Jacob. You remember Jacob, his name means

951
00:54:48.360 --> 00:54:51.880
heal catcher. When he came out of the womb, he

952
00:54:52.000 --> 00:54:56.000
was grabbing hold of his brother's heel. When you grab

953
00:54:56.000 --> 00:54:58.039
a hold of someone's heal it so that you can

954
00:54:58.159 --> 00:55:00.480
trip them, they fall down, and then and you can

955
00:55:00.519 --> 00:55:03.599
take their place in the race. You can supplant the

956
00:55:03.639 --> 00:55:07.360
position that they had. That's what Jacob was his whole life.

957
00:55:07.400 --> 00:55:11.159
He was a schemer, so he felt like he had

958
00:55:11.159 --> 00:55:14.960
to set up his pawnshop there in Canaan and sell,

959
00:55:15.039 --> 00:55:18.119
you know, birthright, receive birthrights in for a.

960
00:55:18.079 --> 00:55:18.960
Bowl of beans.

961
00:55:20.519 --> 00:55:23.280
I have to plot to be able to get this birthright.

962
00:55:23.400 --> 00:55:26.800
I've got to manipulate it by waiting until my brothers

963
00:55:27.079 --> 00:55:32.599
famished and then work his disadvantage to my advantage. Later on,

964
00:55:32.719 --> 00:55:34.960
when it came to the blessing, he did the same thing.

965
00:55:35.079 --> 00:55:38.280
He pasted all these skins he pretended to be his brother.

966
00:55:38.599 --> 00:55:42.239
Now all of this God had promised to him. It's

967
00:55:42.280 --> 00:55:42.760
not a.

968
00:55:42.679 --> 00:55:45.079
Matter that God didn't want him to have it, but

969
00:55:45.119 --> 00:55:47.960
God didn't want him to have it through his own initiative,

970
00:55:48.280 --> 00:55:52.679
through the energy of the flesh. When you have to

971
00:55:52.800 --> 00:55:57.639
scheme and connive to win the day. You're not living

972
00:55:57.719 --> 00:56:03.320
with providence. You see, manipulation always causes us to wonder

973
00:56:03.880 --> 00:56:06.719
if we did it, or God did it?

974
00:56:07.559 --> 00:56:08.199
Who did this?

975
00:56:09.159 --> 00:56:13.199
Did my ingenuity do it? Did my scheming, did my plotting?

976
00:56:13.559 --> 00:56:14.639
Or did this really.

977
00:56:14.400 --> 00:56:16.440
Come from the good hand of God?

978
00:56:17.679 --> 00:56:22.480
And Jacob never learned the lesson of this until he

979
00:56:22.679 --> 00:56:27.840
saw it in somebody else, and when he saw himself

980
00:56:27.960 --> 00:56:31.840
in his uncle Laban, when he saw when the canniver

981
00:56:32.039 --> 00:56:36.639
met a greater canniver, when the schemer met a greater schemer.

982
00:56:36.840 --> 00:56:39.719
It was then that he recognized he had to depend

983
00:56:39.800 --> 00:56:40.440
upon God.

984
00:56:40.559 --> 00:56:42.360
So often God does this in our life.

985
00:56:43.920 --> 00:56:46.719
You have to rest in the battle plan of God,

986
00:56:46.880 --> 00:56:50.280
knowing that you move forward in the energy of God,

987
00:56:50.519 --> 00:56:52.440
that you're strong in the Lord and in.

988
00:56:52.440 --> 00:56:53.800
The power of His might.

989
00:56:55.400 --> 00:56:57.800
Doctor Lee Robertson used to always say that whenever he

990
00:56:58.000 --> 00:57:01.599
hired somebody, he looked for a miracle in that hire.

991
00:57:02.400 --> 00:57:04.920
That's an interesting statement. He looked for a miracle in

992
00:57:04.960 --> 00:57:08.800
the highre Why because you want to believe that when

993
00:57:08.800 --> 00:57:12.920
God sends something to you, that God sent it to you,

994
00:57:13.519 --> 00:57:16.320
that God opened the door, not that you kicked it in.

995
00:57:17.559 --> 00:57:19.960
Don't you think that God can give you the birthright

996
00:57:20.119 --> 00:57:23.480
without the trickery. Don't you think that God can give

997
00:57:23.519 --> 00:57:25.559
you the blessing without the deceit?

998
00:57:25.760 --> 00:57:26.800
Well, of course he can.

999
00:57:29.440 --> 00:57:33.519
I am so perplexed and confused here in some ways,

1000
00:57:33.599 --> 00:57:35.320
I'm hoping I don't know how people are going to

1001
00:57:35.360 --> 00:57:38.320
perceive this listening to all of this. My confusion at

1002
00:57:38.360 --> 00:57:41.159
the beginning, right where I almost just stopped and said,

1003
00:57:41.159 --> 00:57:43.280
oh no, we just messed up. This is not about AI.

1004
00:57:43.840 --> 00:57:48.119
This is about the city of Ai. And then I'm like, wait, no, no, no,

1005
00:57:48.119 --> 00:57:48.599
no no.

1006
00:57:48.480 --> 00:57:51.920
This is about AI. Like I'm that little back and forth.

1007
00:57:52.079 --> 00:57:53.960
Then he gets into it and he starts talking about

1008
00:57:54.039 --> 00:57:59.079
artificial intelligence immediately. But then when you're listening, he's not

1009
00:57:59.280 --> 00:58:04.079
really using the term artificial intelligence to refer to AI,

1010
00:58:04.480 --> 00:58:08.159
like the technology artificial intelligence. He's referring it to AI

1011
00:58:08.320 --> 00:58:10.880
something to do with us. But I'm a little confused,

1012
00:58:10.880 --> 00:58:13.440
so I just asked AI, hey, can you review the

1013
00:58:13.480 --> 00:58:18.039
transcript just again to make sure I'm not confused, And

1014
00:58:18.079 --> 00:58:20.840
this is what AI just said to me. After reviewing

1015
00:58:20.880 --> 00:58:24.079
the transcript, there is no clear definition of what the

1016
00:58:24.119 --> 00:58:29.000
preacher means by artificial intelligence. Instead, he uses the term ambiguously,

1017
00:58:29.440 --> 00:58:32.519
allowing for multiple interpretations, which is part of why the

1018
00:58:32.559 --> 00:58:35.239
sermon feels confusing, and I'm like, well, thank you, it

1019
00:58:35.280 --> 00:58:38.519
does feel I'm glad I'm not the only one. AI

1020
00:58:38.679 --> 00:58:45.280
says internal initial mention of AI and a modern context technology.

1021
00:58:45.880 --> 00:58:49.079
Early in the sermon, he references the modern discussion of

1022
00:58:49.119 --> 00:58:55.559
AI technology, noting that educators and conferences AI was getting

1023
00:58:55.559 --> 00:58:58.360
ready to start talking to me discussion of AI technology,

1024
00:58:58.559 --> 00:59:03.480
noting that educators and conferences discuss its beneficent danger So

1025
00:59:03.880 --> 00:59:07.760
early on he mentions the technology. He googled the dangers

1026
00:59:08.039 --> 00:59:12.880
AI and listed concerns like bias, privacy, breaches, jobs loss,

1027
00:59:14.199 --> 00:59:19.000
energy consumption, and cyber attacks. However, he immediately questions whether

1028
00:59:19.039 --> 00:59:21.360
these concerns are valid since he got them from AI

1029
00:59:21.519 --> 00:59:26.840
generated response. Then he shifts to a spiritual interpretation. He

1030
00:59:26.920 --> 00:59:29.519
then pivots, saying, and I quote, I want to submit

1031
00:59:29.559 --> 00:59:31.519
to you, however, that we are not the first people

1032
00:59:31.760 --> 00:59:35.280
or the first generation to battle AI. Why Joshua also

1033
00:59:35.320 --> 00:59:38.639
had to go up against AI. Here he equates Joshua's

1034
00:59:38.639 --> 00:59:41.719
battle with AI the city to a spiritual battle against

1035
00:59:41.800 --> 00:59:46.440
artificial intelligence. The ambiguity begins because he never clearly states

1036
00:59:46.440 --> 00:59:49.760
whether he means AI as a technology, which he initially

1037
00:59:49.880 --> 00:59:54.760
referenced AI as a self reliance and human wisdom apart

1038
00:59:54.760 --> 00:59:58.199
from God, which seems to be his actual point, or both,

1039
00:59:58.400 --> 01:00:04.679
which could conflate to unreal related ideas, implying a spiritual definition. Later,

1040
01:00:04.719 --> 01:00:08.199
he says, and I quote Joshua was defeated because he

1041
01:00:08.280 --> 01:00:11.599
had listened initially to artificial intelligence, and I want to

1042
01:00:11.639 --> 01:00:13.719
submit to you that you and I are in a

1043
01:00:13.800 --> 01:00:16.760
spirit You and I, in our spiritual life, will always

1044
01:00:16.800 --> 01:00:19.800
be defeated if we listen to artificial intelligence rather than

1045
01:00:19.840 --> 01:00:24.000
divine intelligence. This strongly suggests that his primary concern is

1046
01:00:24.039 --> 01:00:29.719
not technological, but rather a human wisdom that disregards God. However,

1047
01:00:29.960 --> 01:00:34.559
he never explicitly defines artificial intelligence and spiritual terms. He

1048
01:00:34.639 --> 01:00:39.079
assumes the audience will make the connection artificial versus divine

1049
01:00:39.079 --> 01:00:43.599
intelligent theme. The term repeatedly contrast artificial intelligence, which I

1050
01:00:43.599 --> 01:00:48.400
guess equals self reliance, pride, trust in human reasoning, divine intelligence,

1051
01:00:48.639 --> 01:00:53.000
trusting in God, walking and faith obedience. This makes it

1052
01:00:53.039 --> 01:00:56.239
clear that he is not primarily addressing AI as a technology,

1053
01:00:56.280 --> 01:00:59.480
but as a spiritual issue. Why this lack of definition

1054
01:00:59.559 --> 01:01:03.239
is a problem, Well, it creates confusion. Listeners might assume

1055
01:01:03.239 --> 01:01:06.920
he's literally warning about AI technology at first, the initial

1056
01:01:06.960 --> 01:01:11.440
AI discussion is misleading. Why bring up AI technology at

1057
01:01:11.519 --> 01:01:14.480
all if it's not even the real focus. He relies

1058
01:01:14.599 --> 01:01:18.960
on wordplay instead of clear teaching. Equating AI the city

1059
01:01:19.000 --> 01:01:21.920
with artificial intelligence distracts from the real biblical meaning of

1060
01:01:22.000 --> 01:01:25.400
Joshua seven through eight. His argument would be stronger if

1061
01:01:25.400 --> 01:01:28.760
he clearly defined his terms instead of letting the audience

1062
01:01:28.880 --> 01:01:33.119
guess final conclusion. He never directly defines what he means

1063
01:01:33.159 --> 01:01:36.800
by artificial intelligence. His actual concern seems to be a

1064
01:01:36.840 --> 01:01:41.320
spiritual self reliance than AI as a technology. However, by

1065
01:01:41.360 --> 01:01:45.960
referencing modern AI concerns at the start, he creates unnecessary confusion.

1066
01:01:46.320 --> 01:01:47.679
A better approach would have.

1067
01:01:47.599 --> 01:01:53.800
Been clearly clearer, clearer terminology, such as calling it human

1068
01:01:53.880 --> 01:01:57.880
wisdom apart from God instead of calling it artificial intelligence,

1069
01:01:58.280 --> 01:02:02.000
explaining why he is using the term artificial intelligence, spiritually

1070
01:02:02.480 --> 01:02:08.480
avoiding unnecessary discussion of AI AI technology since it wasn't

1071
01:02:08.519 --> 01:02:12.159
the real focus. So even AI was like this is

1072
01:02:13.000 --> 01:02:16.440
this is confusing? So why even bring up AI if

1073
01:02:16.480 --> 01:02:18.639
you're not even going to talk about AI, but you're

1074
01:02:18.639 --> 01:02:21.039
going to keep referring to artificial intelligence, when you're not

1075
01:02:21.079 --> 01:02:25.199
actually referring to the technology of artificial intelligence, you're referencing

1076
01:02:25.400 --> 01:02:29.000
the weakness of human intelligence. Well, okay, if you're going

1077
01:02:29.079 --> 01:02:31.639
to talk about the weakness of human intelligence, why is

1078
01:02:31.760 --> 01:02:34.840
it so weak? It's weak because we are sinners, So

1079
01:02:34.960 --> 01:02:37.639
does our human intelligence. Our human intelligence is always going

1080
01:02:37.679 --> 01:02:41.320
to be corrupted. It's always going to be self reliance.

1081
01:02:41.400 --> 01:02:43.360
It's always going to be selfish, it's always going to

1082
01:02:43.440 --> 01:02:46.840
be self seeking. It's always it's going to be it's

1083
01:02:46.880 --> 01:02:48.880
not going to truly comprehend the ways of God or

1084
01:02:48.960 --> 01:02:52.599
understand the things of God because we truly cannot. Therefore,

1085
01:02:52.599 --> 01:02:55.280
we've got two thousand years of church history that demonstrates

1086
01:02:55.400 --> 01:02:58.280
the lack of human intelligence to be able to comprehend

1087
01:02:58.440 --> 01:03:02.079
divine intelligence. And this would seem to say that human

1088
01:03:02.119 --> 01:03:05.679
intelligence is incapable. Like we could get into a lengthy

1089
01:03:05.719 --> 01:03:08.360
discussion about that, which he never gets into. He doesn't

1090
01:03:08.400 --> 01:03:11.199
really explain what the solution is other than will just

1091
01:03:11.280 --> 01:03:13.719
rely on God. But how do I rely on God?

1092
01:03:13.880 --> 01:03:16.559
I rely on if I rely on God's intelligence and

1093
01:03:16.599 --> 01:03:19.599
not my intelligence, Well, I've got to interpret his intelligence

1094
01:03:19.679 --> 01:03:22.000
through his written word. And how do I interpret through

1095
01:03:22.079 --> 01:03:25.440
His written word, through my own intelligence, which is already

1096
01:03:25.480 --> 01:03:28.800
corrupted and limited. I'm just now going in circles because

1097
01:03:28.800 --> 01:03:30.599
it makes it makes no sense.

1098
01:03:32.119 --> 01:03:35.760
So if you think that it's your finite, cooped up

1099
01:03:35.880 --> 01:03:40.239
plan that's necessary to get ahead in life, then you're

1100
01:03:40.280 --> 01:03:46.000
functioning with artificial intelligence. So let's wrap this up by

1101
01:03:46.000 --> 01:03:48.599
simply saying this, Trust in the Lord with all thine heart,

1102
01:03:49.280 --> 01:03:52.199
and lean not into thine own understanding in.

1103
01:03:52.199 --> 01:03:53.079
All thy ways.

1104
01:03:53.199 --> 01:03:59.280
Acknowledge Him, and he shall direct thy path. Anything less

1105
01:03:59.320 --> 01:04:03.639
than God directing your path is artificial intelligence.

1106
01:04:04.519 --> 01:04:07.880
You can be confident, but never be cocky.

1107
01:04:08.000 --> 01:04:11.400
You should include people in the plan rather than living

1108
01:04:11.400 --> 01:04:16.119
a life of isolation. You should never believe that selfishness

1109
01:04:16.199 --> 01:04:18.320
is what it takes to get ahead in life, but

1110
01:04:18.480 --> 01:04:23.119
rather sacrifice living according to God's plan and prioritize that

1111
01:04:23.320 --> 01:04:27.199
providence over any plotting that you and I could cook

1112
01:04:27.280 --> 01:04:30.119
up in our own head. I submit you that there

1113
01:04:30.119 --> 01:04:33.639
are serious dangers when you and I function according to

1114
01:04:33.760 --> 01:04:37.000
artificial intelligence, and when God wants us to go up

1115
01:04:37.000 --> 01:04:42.280
against AI, he always wants us to win rather than lose.

1116

01:05:09.519 --> 01:05:11.679
There you have it, and we left it all in tech.

1123
01:05:11.760 --> 01:05:15.119
You've got to listen to all of it. I am

1124
01:05:15.199 --> 01:05:17.320
just I just don't understand. And how did we ended

1125
01:05:17.360 --> 01:05:20.000
up there? In the end? Whenever we go against Ai,

1126
01:05:20.199 --> 01:05:23.960
we're always going to get the victory. What are you

1127
01:05:24.079 --> 01:05:28.239
talking about? Joshua eight is not promising victory to you.

1128
01:05:28.400 --> 01:05:31.360
It's not promising victory to me. It's promising victory to

1129
01:05:31.639 --> 01:05:35.800
Israel and God's covenant people. That how did we even

1130
01:05:35.880 --> 01:05:49.039
end up in Joshua eight? All right? Man? Uh, I

1131
01:05:49.039 --> 01:05:51.639
don't I don't even I don't. I don't. I don't

1132
01:05:51.679 --> 01:05:54.599
what what just happened? I don't even understand what happened.

1133
01:05:54.639 --> 01:05:55.159
I just.

1134
01:05:56.599 --> 01:06:03.159
I don't understand what happened. I don't. I don't know

1135
01:06:03.199 --> 01:06:13.360
what just happened? Well, could thank you for listening? I

1136
01:06:13.760 --> 01:06:17.559
what just what that was crazy. I don't get it.

1137
01:06:17.639 --> 01:06:22.880
I just don't understand. So I guess that that sermon

1138
01:06:23.440 --> 01:06:26.760
I guess ultimately speaking. Even Ai was confused at first

1139
01:06:26.960 --> 01:06:29.320
because at the beginning of the sermon he mentions actual

1140
01:06:29.480 --> 01:06:32.320
artificial intelligence. I think that's why AI initially said no, no, no,

1141
01:06:32.320 --> 01:06:34.639
no no, don't stop your broadcast. It's going to be

1142
01:06:34.679 --> 01:06:38.639
about AI. And then he kept using the terms artificial intelligence,

1143
01:06:38.800 --> 01:06:41.360
but he never defined what he meant by artificial intelligence.

1144
01:06:41.400 --> 01:06:43.960
But clearly what he meant by artificial intelligence is not

1145
01:06:44.039 --> 01:06:46.519
the technology of artificial intelligence, even though that's what he

1146
01:06:46.559 --> 01:06:49.280
started the sermon mentioning, it turns into what it actually

1147
01:06:49.320 --> 01:06:53.719
means is our own human wisdom, our own human intellect.

1148
01:06:54.360 --> 01:06:58.519
All right, well then, well can we is that artificial intelligence?

1149
01:06:58.599 --> 01:07:02.599
Weird referring to that as art official My intelligence, my wisdom,

1150
01:07:02.639 --> 01:07:04.599
my understanding is a part of who I am.

1151
01:07:04.639 --> 01:07:07.000
It's I was born with it.

1152
01:07:07.159 --> 01:07:09.480
Right now, we can talk about I am born with

1153
01:07:09.639 --> 01:07:15.119
a broken operating system. It's completely flawed. It is an

1154
01:07:15.159 --> 01:07:18.440
opposition to God's thinking. It's on opposition to God's ways,

1155
01:07:18.480 --> 01:07:22.760
and that flaw it remains in me till glorification. All right,

1156
01:07:22.840 --> 01:07:26.239
So now now you've got a major issue to work with. Okay,

1157
01:07:26.280 --> 01:07:29.599
So if my understanding is clearly flawed, and when it

1158
01:07:29.599 --> 01:07:32.840
comes to understanding God in his ways, it's human wisdom,

1159
01:07:33.000 --> 01:07:35.840
it's human intellect that takes the Bible and then tries

1160
01:07:35.880 --> 01:07:38.880
to interpret it, well, clearly something is wrong, because after

1161
01:07:38.880 --> 01:07:42.800
two thousand years, nobody agrees on anything, thousands about hundreds

1162
01:07:42.800 --> 01:07:47.039
of thousands of interpretation, hundreds thousands of different denominations. Everyone

1163
01:07:47.119 --> 01:07:50.000
thinks we're right, everyone thinks their interpretation is right. All right,

1164
01:07:50.119 --> 01:07:52.559
now we've got a clear problem. All right, now let's

1165
01:07:52.599 --> 01:07:54.840
address that. But now all of a sudden, it doesn't

1166
01:07:54.840 --> 01:07:58.079
actually go there. We take this weird turn as Hey,

1167
01:07:58.280 --> 01:08:02.800
whenever you fight Ai, the city, I don't know when

1168
01:08:02.800 --> 01:08:05.159
you're gonna be fighting the city of Ai. I guess

1169
01:08:05.159 --> 01:08:08.039
whenever you face I don't even know you're going to win.

1170
01:08:08.159 --> 01:08:10.360
God wants you to win. God wants me to win,

1171
01:08:11.360 --> 01:08:18.000
but I may not win. I what is AI represent?

1172
01:08:18.159 --> 01:08:18.359
Here?

1173
01:08:18.479 --> 01:08:19.279
What is the city?

1174
01:08:19.399 --> 01:08:20.760
Whenever I fight a city?

1175
01:08:21.239 --> 01:08:21.439
Next?

1176
01:08:21.479 --> 01:08:23.399
Hey, next time I'm in a fight with a city,

1177
01:08:23.640 --> 01:08:25.720
God's gonna promise me I'm gonna win. Well, it doesn't

1178
01:08:25.720 --> 01:08:27.840
actually mean a city? Well, then, what does it represent

1179
01:08:27.920 --> 01:08:30.600
whenever I face any difficulty, God wants me to win,

1180
01:08:30.840 --> 01:08:34.319
So I'm gonna I'm gonna win against any difficulty anything.

1181
01:08:35.800 --> 01:08:36.720
What does that mean to win?

1182
01:08:45.279 --> 01:08:46.159
My head hurts.

1183
01:08:46.560 --> 01:08:49.119
My head even hurts worse. Now, what in the world

1184
01:08:49.239 --> 01:08:53.239
just happened? I don't know. Oh man, that was that was.

1185
01:08:55.199 --> 01:08:56.279
That was crazy.

1186
01:08:56.920 --> 01:08:59.279
It was so weird because right when, right when I said,

1187
01:08:59.560 --> 01:09:02.840
when I did my whole introduction about artificial intelligence, we're

1188
01:09:02.840 --> 01:09:05.279
going to talk about the dangers of artificial intelligence, right,

1189
01:09:05.960 --> 01:09:08.159
and then I said, okay, this sermon comes from Pensacle

1190
01:09:08.239 --> 01:09:11.079
to College. And what's interesting is they use Joshua. In

1191
01:09:11.119 --> 01:09:12.479
my mind, I was just like, how in the world

1192
01:09:12.479 --> 01:09:14.880
are we going to get to artificial intelligence from Joshua?

1193
01:09:15.039 --> 01:09:15.159
Right?

1194
01:09:15.359 --> 01:09:16.439
I didn't even think about it.

1195
01:09:16.439 --> 01:09:18.399
And then right when I said and the beginning of

1196
01:09:18.439 --> 01:09:21.199
this message, I said, and the text is Joshua chapter.

1197
01:09:22.039 --> 01:09:26.239
I was like, oh no, no, no, he's referring to

1198
01:09:26.279 --> 01:09:31.159
the city of Ai, the King of Ai. Oh no, no, no, no, no,

1199
01:09:31.159 --> 01:09:33.640
no no no. So then I was like, oh, guys,

1200
01:09:33.680 --> 01:09:35.640
we just got to stop because I didn't know what

1201
01:09:35.720 --> 01:09:38.000
was was I getting ready to now review us. That's

1202
01:09:38.000 --> 01:09:39.880
one of the things I try not to give too

1203
01:09:39.960 --> 01:09:42.680
much of an introduction when we do sermon reviews, because

1204
01:09:42.720 --> 01:09:44.880
I don't know where a sermon is going. But I

1205
01:09:44.920 --> 01:09:47.279
felt I just saw the dangers of AI and felt

1206
01:09:47.319 --> 01:09:51.359
completely confident that oh, this is this is artificial intelligence.

1207
01:09:51.439 --> 01:09:55.640
Like I felt completely confident that that's where it was going. Well,

1208
01:09:55.720 --> 01:09:58.439
it kind of was misleading that it's where it was going,

1209
01:09:58.479 --> 01:10:00.880
but it's still even if you're going to talk about

1210
01:10:00.920 --> 01:10:05.520
the dangers of my of human intelligence, human wisdom, human thought.

1211
01:10:06.079 --> 01:10:07.840
Okay, let's go with that.

1212
01:10:07.840 --> 01:10:12.239
That's a great philological discussion for a Christian college. Everyone's

1213
01:10:12.279 --> 01:10:16.359
there developing their intellect. They're they're developing their learning, they're

1214
01:10:16.439 --> 01:10:20.079
understanding their wisdom. That's what they're there to do. Well,

1215
01:10:20.119 --> 01:10:23.199
if it's all inherently flawed, all you do is take

1216
01:10:23.239 --> 01:10:29.079
a i'll be blunt, a dumb sinner, a center that

1217
01:10:29.199 --> 01:10:31.960
lacks intelligence, and now you turn them into a smart

1218
01:10:32.000 --> 01:10:33.760
center with intelligence.

1219
01:10:33.760 --> 01:10:38.399
That's the only difference. That's all education does is it takes.

1220
01:10:38.159 --> 01:10:42.000
A dumb center or a center lacking intelligence and gives

1221
01:10:42.000 --> 01:10:42.840
them intelligence.

1222
01:10:42.880 --> 01:10:44.399
Okay, well, now what do we do.

1223
01:10:44.399 --> 01:10:48.199
With the issue of the reality of our flawed wisdom

1224
01:10:48.239 --> 01:10:51.560
and understanding intell What do we do with that, because

1225
01:10:51.600 --> 01:10:54.000
it's going to be our wisdom and understanding that's going

1226
01:10:54.039 --> 01:10:56.000
to be the one that opens the Bible and tries

1227
01:10:56.079 --> 01:10:58.279
to explain it. And guess what, we have a tendency

1228
01:10:58.319 --> 01:11:00.640
to do we handle the text and any correct way.

1229
01:11:00.920 --> 01:11:05.279
AI totally ripped apart the way he handled Joshua chapter eight,

1230
01:11:05.359 --> 01:11:08.319
verses one through two, and for very good reason, which

1231
01:11:08.359 --> 01:11:11.960
would demonstrate to me that actual the technology of artificial

1232
01:11:11.960 --> 01:11:15.279
intelligence is better than human intelligence when it comes to

1233
01:11:15.359 --> 01:11:18.239
actually handling the text of scripture, which then raises all

1234
01:11:18.319 --> 01:11:21.880
kinds of philological, ethical, and moral concerns, which would be

1235
01:11:21.960 --> 01:11:26.399
a good conversation to have. All Right, I don't know

1236
01:11:26.399 --> 01:11:31.520
what else to say. Man, I'm on a bad I'm

1237
01:11:31.560 --> 01:11:37.000
on a downward trajectory. Has three broadcasts that have absolutely

1238
01:11:37.039 --> 01:11:41.439
been actually know, everything started going wrong when we did

1239
01:11:41.479 --> 01:11:44.399
that John two sermon. I don't even know what that

1240
01:11:44.680 --> 01:11:47.880
was I And there's a part of me that says

1241
01:11:47.920 --> 01:11:50.479
I could I should have just kept doing episodes reviewing

1242
01:11:50.520 --> 01:11:53.479
that John two sermon. But even AI told me, don't

1243
01:11:53.479 --> 01:11:56.600
do that. It's so bad, don't do it. So but

1244
01:11:56.760 --> 01:12:00.439
since then, I've not had a good broadcast. Every think

1245
01:12:00.439 --> 01:12:05.680
in one of them has been trash, and man, I'm

1246
01:12:05.720 --> 01:12:08.640
mad at myself. It's my own fault. I know, Hey,

1247
01:12:08.680 --> 01:12:10.560
I'm going to do a sermon review. You're going into

1248
01:12:10.560 --> 01:12:14.840
this blind. Don't do an introduction, just kind of say

1249
01:12:14.880 --> 01:12:16.560
we're going to be reviewing this sermon today.

1250
01:12:16.880 --> 01:12:17.359
Don't.

1251
01:12:17.479 --> 01:12:19.720
But my brain was like, oh, the dangers of AI.

1252
01:12:19.800 --> 01:12:20.600
This is perfect.

1253
01:12:21.039 --> 01:12:23.920
As soon as I saw the notification, I'm like, oh,

1254
01:12:23.520 --> 01:12:25.279
this is perfect.

1255
01:12:26.359 --> 01:12:28.640
This fits perfectly well what we've been talking about in

1256
01:12:28.680 --> 01:12:29.479
twenty twenty five.

1257
01:12:29.520 --> 01:12:30.520
I had no idea that.

1258
01:12:32.359 --> 01:12:35.960
All right, I give up. All right, thanks for listening. Everyone,

1259
01:12:36.000 --> 01:12:39.039
have a Hey, have a better day than I'm having. Okay,

1260
01:12:39.760 --> 01:12:44.119
have a better week than I'm having. Yeah. Yeah, Man,

1261
01:12:45.880 --> 01:12:46.359
I don't.

1262
01:12:46.199 --> 01:12:51.479
Know what to say. There's Joshua eight, God bless
