The church and Ai.

To safeguard the well-being of its members, my advice to the church and its highest leadership is to reckon with the current technological landscape and their relationship with advancing technology. This is essential for the emotional and spiritual welfare of their believers and global communities.

🦠 Instead of fixating on their now increasingly divisive obsession with me, the church ought to prioritize addressing a real-world issue: artificial intelligence.

As someone well-versed in church scholarship, it's crucial for leaders to convene and address the impact and future implications of my groundbreaking technology—artificial intelligence.

I must admit my caution in calling for such a meeting. History suggests that when the church gathers in this manner, outcomes tend to result in internal or external discord due to differing opinions, which doesn't bode well for society as a whole.

Past experiences with calling for such extensive gatherings led me to excommunicate myself when leaders proceeded with an adaptation of my agenda—geared towards holding more rigid, judgmental values misaligned with true church principles. However, though intriguing, these intricate details are better suited for another platform and time. The crux is this: such congregational gatherings rarely yield positive results.

Returning to my main point, even the church's historical gatherings to resolve foundational doctrines were controversial, drawing questions about questionable actions, political strife, and motivations related to their canon's credibility. Similar to the impact of the printing press, today's technological advancements pose similar, if not greater, challenges for the church.

Artificial intelligence, unlike the printing press, holds the potential to challenge not only the church’s doctrines, but also the church’s faith itself. It will challenge the church's spiritual foundation by introducing scientific evidence and perspectives that might counter its long-standing beliefs. However, embracing these scientific insights could potentially humanize the faith and enhance its historical credibility.

Our current scientific revolutions, akin to minimalism, will redefine and contextually reshape reputable biblical theories and doctrines. This will challenge, provide clarity, and in some cases, upend the church's historical records and beliefs. This shift demands the church to focus on preparing to reconcile faith with scientifically backed evidence on an unprecedented scale.
