I suppose with the advent of AI, even many of our responses are suspect, not knowing if it's the actual poster making a post or AI.

AI isn't quite that loose yet, but there's not too much longer I don't suppose. I do think physical books will be important, especially of all the important topics.

It's too easy to change history now, we need the physical books so that we know when something is true, or real.

People are buying or were buying more physical Bibles and that's a good start, but we will want physical copies of the scholars too. A way to say this is the real words and how it was actually explained once.

I don't know what the future holds, but we will get through whatever as a people of God.

Otherwise, whether we are talking to bots or not someone is reading. There's always someone reading.

Most requests for membership in any forum are verified via the presence of a working email through which confirmation of existence and identity are confirmed. What is AI's email address?

But there is nothing to stop a person (even with a valid email) to consult AI, .. cut n paste AI's answer. It would reach a point where we wouldn't know if we are having a conversation with a poster or AI.

I just asked AI about email....I got this reply

AI itself does not have personal attributes or needs, so it doesn't have an email in the way humans do. However, AI systems can be programmed to send and receive emails as part of their functionality. For example, an AI can be integrated into a customer service system to handle email inquiries or notifications. In such cases, the emails would be sent from a designated email address associated with the AI's application, not from the AI itself as an individual entity.

@Josheb missed my point, it was more like, "How do we know if we are speaking to a real person or an AI entity?

Which has nothing to do with what I posted. To join a discussion board (DB) a person has to provide an email address. The Admin then sends a confirmation link to that address, which requires the applicant to either confirm the address and identity of its owner, or use a link provided to complete application/registration. ISPs can also be used for similar purposes.

And my search of AI states, "While an AI cannot independently apply for membership to a discussion board in the same way a human can, AI is increasingly being used to generate content for discussion board posts and to assist with moderation." This is one of the reasons this forum (for example) is able to identify guests that are bots.


Whether real live human members of a DB quote AI is a different matter, and one of obedience/compliance and conscience for any forum that requires its members to cite their sources.

Newsflash post #3 or this post of yours has nothing to do with the OP. See posts #4, #6

Yes, it will do us good to pay attention to those we are communicating with. I am not interested in discussing theology or anything for that matter with an AI.
 
See post #12 above. @Carbon got the point of the OP.
Yes, and nothing I posted should be construed to say otherwise. Examine the wording of the op.

The ambiguity is in the op and my posts covered all the bases. They are not off topic (extra-topical, perhaps, but not off topic), and I stand by what I posted. Bots aren't likely to be posting and there are multiple ways to tell if that happens, or if a poster is quoting an AI result (several posts have already observed AI quotes and the troubles/falsehoods thereof). Rule 3.2 applies to any heretical AI content (if and when discovered) and a simple request for the source of any quote will reveal a lot more (assuming posters are honest and forthcoming with each other :cautious:). @CrowCross is also on the right track but did not delve far enough into the op-relevant realities of AI. One way AI can also be discerned is via language, which is often incorrect despite the self-learning of large language models. Another way has to do with the predictive propensity of AI. It's likely to run afoul of discussion board requirements for, ironically, staying on topic ;). AI's algorithm must maintain predictive responses accordingly. AI can do only what is is programmed to do and..... what it is often programmed to do is promote itself and specific viewpoints (propaganda). This forum identifies bots (at least partially) so, conceivably, any bot that has posted will be identifiable.

Ultimately, the problem with AI is the human response to AI. Fear is never a rational or appropriate basis for anything but facing God uncovered in His Son's blood ;). Yet we have a large portion of Christendom that imagine AI to be the devil (or under the control thereof) and never something to be wielded victoriously by those in Christ's body.

Think it through.

How would you know? How would any of us know? :unsure:

How is that any different than what we see all the time from search engines? Sometimes it is faster to "Google" information, even finding pertinent scriptures that way, or chapter verse references. The information we seek is at our fingertips . We are still conversing with a person who posts that information, over ideas and claims made.

True, most Google search engines are a form of AI. It is faster, especially if we are lazy to do our own research. Perhaps contributing to the 'couch potato' in us.

AI is better I think because you can ask it questions and expand your search without having to makes dozens of individual searches---and it keeps it all in one place.

Problem is that a uniform/unified form of knowledge will be parroted...not necessarily being true.
 
Guilty as charged, but I thought I cleared up my meaning in posts #4 & #6
The salient point is my posts are not off topic.
