AI will form us in these human activities of work and play. There's two categories that are deeply human that aren't covered by those categories: worship and love. If we are deformed and diverted from that, that is a profound loss. The only truly human life was lived in a place born of a woman,. grew up patiently, slowly, the way a human being does - learned one human language and spoke it his whole life. That incarnate reality is what unlocks possibility in the world, not the discarnate kind of technology.

New technology seems to be revolutionizing our world on a daily basis. ChatGPT — which has been used by more than a million people — might replace internet search engines and possibly your job. How should Christians deal with these machines that can communicate facts, create business plans, and do homework at the push of a button?

On this week’s episode of the Good Faith podcast, Curtis sits down with his friend, bestselling author Andy Crouch, to discuss how technology can enhance our lives or possibly deform us. They describe how technology paints as a false vision of human flourishing—and encourage Christians to fight back.
