Summary
In episode 6 of Reasonable Talk, we explore how Christians can think about and interact with artificial intelligence (AI).
Amanda, Chris, and Jerod move from defining and demystifying AI, to its positive uses, to serious ethical and spiritual pitfalls—especially around relationships, counseling, discipleship, and spiritual formation.
They emphasize that AI is a powerful tool rooted in data and algorithms, not a living being, and that Christians must approach it with discernment, remembering our ultimate goal is to become more like Christ, not simply to be more efficient or more affirmed.
