2nd Timothy 2:14 Of these things put them in remembrance, charging them before the Lord that they strive not about words to no profit, but to the subverting of the hearers. 15 Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.
There are some questions we must ask as it pertains to Artificial intelligence and the multitude of search engines, to demonstrate just a few of the grave concerns and risks to truth that are posed by their use. The answers to the questions will be given without bias, so as to ascertain what risks there might be to persons trusting these sources in the verification or pursuit of truth.
Question [1] Is it true that behind all artificial intelligence there is real intelligence? Answer: Yes! Artificial intelligence did not come about on its own, it is the product of intelligent minds. Question [2] When information, data, algorithms, history, and scriptural information are gathered, and input, who is vetting the sources for correctness and accuracy, or are we leaving the proverbial “fox” to guard the chicken coop?
For instance, when a very straightforward Biblical question is asked of your search engine, could it be trusted to deliver the unadulterated truth on the matter in question, or will it randomly pull all kinds of information treating on the subject? Furthermore, will the search results be without bias, unaffected by popular majority opinions? And will priority be given to scriptural truth at the top of the search results, or would the search engine naturally defer to error? To find out, Let’s ask Yahoo:
1st John 4:Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world.
May The Lord add His blessing to the study of His word. God bless!
