There is increasing speculation and concern
\nabout the role of AI in the future of the arts. Surprisingly, many
\nChristians are already embracing the use of AI to produce images of
\nthe saints. In this episode, Thomas and Susannah Black Roberts make
\nthe argument for why AI art is a contradiction in terms. It is
\nanalogous to pornography in that it scratches the itch to \u201ccreate\u201d
\nwithout actually achieving the object of the desire in question. We
\nshould not use technology to replace the human specialties: \u201cGod
\nwon\u2019t accept worship that we outsource.\u201d Plus, the danger of
\ndemonic influence through AI should not be overlooked.<\/p>\n
