Thinking Through AI 

     Columnist Janie B. Cheaney wrote, "Last November, when OpenAI made its ChatGPT large language model available, the public woke up to a development that's no longer speculation."

     After finding the model missing in originality and creativity, and coming across a few problems, she closed:

     "As a firm believer in clear writing as a cornerstone of clear thinking, I'm not convinced. Every technology takes as well as gives, and it's already too late to debate whether AI is a net benefit to humanity.

     "That train has left the station. Humanity, as always, must struggle with the implications and decide how to respond, or not. 

     "Christians must rethink our calling as culture-makers and culture-redeemers in light of an innovation that could undermine both.

     "'Test the spirits,' warns the apostle in 1 John. For us, it's the spirit of a transhumanist age as flawed as the humans are."
