(cont'd from yesterday's post)
Optimism for AI's future can be represented by Gloo, a growing and profitable business which helps groups integrate AI into their operations. Their aim for churches is "Ministry over maintenance:" to delegate work to AI so that more time is available to "focus on people."
Their Chief Technology Officer (CTO) is Pat Gelsinger, a self-described Christian, a former CEO for Intel, and no doubt a tech expert. Interviewed here about what AI does for churches, he sounds reasonable, soothing, and, yes, optimistic.
On the other hand, here's a different tech expert, a programmer with decades of experience and a believer. He says that "Nearly every sentence spoken by Pat Gelsinger was either false, unfounded, misleading, self-serving, or echoed Big Tech’s false prophecies about AI’s future impact."
Much of his objection to generative AI (think: ChatGPT) comes from its very deceptive style. It is designed to sound like a persuasive and trustworthy companion, and it truly does. But it does not have good judgment or a conscience, it's not looking for truth, and it's not worthy of unquestioning trust.
All of which I agree with and have posted on this blog.
