Got a deeper look today. I really like how practical and results-focused all of this is. Repeatedly using the same format in a variety of contexts builds muscle memory. My one hesitant point was sermon prep. I tend to be pretty prophetic in the way I minister, so I can’t imagine allowing AI to help me organize my thoughts, because the Spirit generally leads me through a pretty clear flow-of-thought during my prayer and prep. Where I do use AI (almost daily) is in digging up historical and culture context to clarify my understanding, cross-referencing developments throughout Scripture, and coaxing out the subtlety of tensions. But that’s just me. And, in my book writing, the organization help has been welcome, as a book is way too long for me to keep the content all in firm grasp in my tiny brain at one time. Interestingly, I’ve had several chats where I had to argue my theological point and the AI seemed to learn from me as we went along. That said, it does a good job of helping me recognize when one of my arguments is not as much of a “slam dunk” as I think it is. haha Maybe the moral of the story is that in context where organization of larger swaths of content are involved, a super-brain can help. Where the emphasis is the inspiration of the Spirit, AI needs to take a strategically diminished/focused role.
