Should Christians Use AI for Apologetics? A Software Dev's Concerns

2025-01-21

A software developer raises concerns about using AI and Large Language Models (LLMs) for Christian apologetics. He argues that LLMs are fundamentally "bullshit generators," capable of producing truthful outputs but not designed to prioritize truth, making them prone to fabricating information. Using LLMs in apologetics risks spreading falsehoods and damaging Christianity's credibility. The author suggests focusing on creating powerful search engines to improve access to existing resources instead of relying on LLMs.
