In a nutshell, humans are created in the image of God (Genesis 1:26); computers are not. AI should be used to assist humans, not replace humans. AI should also NOT be used to get sloppy and generate massive amounts of content (potentially for sale) with little or no human review. The website https://bible.art/ is perhaps the worst example of this, generating tens of thousands of images that LOOK cool but are based on historical Christian art stereotypes and aren't necessarily accurate.

On my website, the Word of God is sacred and must be treated with the utmost care. Right now I'm using AI for image generation ONLY. Links to commentary are ALL done by hand (sometimes programmed in bulk but always by me), and I try to link to non-AI, authoritative sources which treat the Bible as the inerrant, literal Word of God. (The only exception is the Berean Study Bible Commentary which I suspect is AI generated but they have not answered my Email to explain how that commentary was made.)

The purpose of the pictures by the Memory Page Bible KJV Bible text is to enhance the text and make it much easier to remember. No picture is perfect, but I try to make it as true to the text as possible (and I mean actual text, not Christian tradition). THIS ALSO MEANS I don't just use a stock image of a pretty meadow and put it on a Psalm to make you feel good and peaceful. Too many Christians do that, like in blogs. With the Psalms, I read each Psalm in its entirety, study it, and pray over it, and ask God to help me pick out a verse or two that summarizes the entire Psalm. Then I use AI (usually) to generate a picture for that summary. Sometimes the picture will incorporate elements from several verses of the Psalm. MORE THAN HALF THE TIME, I manually make "corrections" to the picture to make it more accurate. Occasionally I might spend over an hour on it.

Notable example #1: Psalm 66. The author is unknown, but many believe it was David. If so, the temple has not been built yet, so the sacrifices would be brought to the tabernacle. The tabernacle has a very specific description including colors of the curtains, yet for some strange reason almost all historical Christian artwork ignores this. I found the correct curtains and patched in AI artwork from two other images to create a more realistic, composite image.

Notable example #2: Psalm 79. Reading the psalm presents a very dire scene of fallen walls and dead bodies. Possibly no artist has ever bothered to illustrate the psalm this way, even though it is the truth. Further, artists haven't bothered to illustrate city walls that have fallen down. Thus I couldn't even get AI to generate proper toppled walls (AI can only generate things it was trained on, and if no one in the past drew fallen down walls, AI has no idea how to draw that). I was able to get birds on stones, so with some heavy editing I was able to patch in what looked like fallen walls. For decency's sake I omitted dead bodies, but the picture still strongly suggests it. It is painful, but it more accurately represents the reality and pain the Psalmist was experiencing. The powerful picture is almost impossible to forget.

So this is why, after almost 3 years, I only have two-thirds of the Psalms illustrated so far.

Using AI with this kind of care, and exceptional care with respect to the Bible, is something I would like to see more of. I truly pray that you are blessed by the Memory Page Bible in some way, that it helps you remember and meditate on Scripture in a more powerful way.

Thank you and God Bless,

Have you ever talked to a person who spoke to you for like 10 minutes but hardly "said" anything?

The other day I was trying to do a very simple search to learn what the acronym "ICBA" stood for. I was expecting a very simple answer in the page summaries, but instead I got results like this:



As you can see, no page was willing to share the answer, but instead they hid the answer behind some very flowery language. I'm seeing this more and more on the web. Instead of very simple answers, AI will generate an introduction paragraph, 3 body paragraphs, and a conclusion paragraph, all written with top notch grammar and style but saying very little. Like 90% filler. Desperately tring to make a full page out of something so I could be surrounded with a lot of advertising while I try to scan for the actual answer.

Today it occurred to me that, if this continues, and, knowing the sinful nature of man and the mad push for AI, I have every reason to believe it is going to continue, the internet is going to self-destruct. Very quickly, AI generated content is going to dwarf human generated content. Not only will it be even harder to find human content, but AI won't know which content is human and which is AI, causing AI models to collapse.

God will probably allow this collapse as a judgement on the pride of man. In the midst of the chaos, it presents a wonderful opportunity to witness. With truth becoming scarce, Christians can point people to God's Word, not AI generated, and not AI corrupted, but coming from God Himself, and containing not only everything we need to live by, but also the gospel of salvation through Jesus Christ. The Bible is the one thing we can cling to in a world of chaos. And we don't need AI to interpret the Bible, either, as God himself explains his Word to us through the Holy Spirit which indwells all believers. The world may still cling to AI and mock us Christians for this, but they are going too see confident lives grounded in truth, rather than tossed about by the waves and whims of AI. We spend hours studying the Bible because it is WORTH studying, spending time with our Lord, rather than trying to have AI spit out 10 second answers about how to live based on a database of prideful men. We don't grow with AI, we grow with the Lord who promises to give wisdom liberally to those who seek it (James 1:5).

Wednesday evening I was taking a country bike ride looking at the nearly-finished Coldwater, Michigan solar project (thousands of acres of panels). I thought I had finally "come to terms" with the panels, that they were a good thing.



But then I had a startling thought. Nationwide power demands are expected to spike in the next few years because they are building all these new AI data centers which consume enormous amounts of power (much more than regular computers). So.... all this extra capacity we just got is probably going to be taken by AI. Corporate America has spoken... the future of America isn't in more real people but in more artificial people, seemingly disagreeing with the Bible's "I'm fearfully and wonderfully made" and "be fruitful and multiply."

AI can't love and it can't worship God. The Bible tells us to create more godly offspring. Those that believe God doesn't exist think the world is evolving and that AI is better than humans. The Bible says that humans are created in the image of God and thus are infinitely better. Yes there is a major sin problem, but rather than wipe out all humans and replace them with AI, God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten Son to save sinners and someday restore them to the moral perfection that will blow AI out of the water.
