Dear Readers,
I have health issues serious enough to make me housebound and isolated.
I prayed, and an idea formed to start a blogging website; this was to continue in the Great Commission in the extremely limited circumstances I found myself in.
I started to think of ideas, I started writing, I found that my mind was now in a fog from all the pain management, this was when I thought of using AI assistance for my Biblical blog posts.
This did not sit well with me, and I prayed on this feeling of unease, and still I decided to continue.
The unease never fully went away; I have been wrestling with this decision to use AI for a while now.
My discission or discernment is that using AI to polish and tighten my writing is unfaithful to the calling and obedience to Jesus for the Great Commission.
I have decided to write this disclaimer as I am completely stopping all blog posts with AI assistance.
I am thinking of new ideas I can manage, like, ESV 2015 verses expounded by R.C. Sproul, The source of my new work will be from The Reformation Study Bible. See below for copyright information and permissions.
This will help me with my health issues, but most of all, I can stop wrestling with this.
I now discern, using AI to tighten and polish my blog posts is not faithful, as an AI has no soul, feels nothing, and has experienced nothing.
If I have offended anyone, I am sorry. I should have listened to my heart at the beginning when I was first convicted.
The previous Biblical blog posts, which I felt called to write on, specifically the Biblical posts, should never have been polished or the wording tightened with Artificial Intelligence.
I hope anyone reading this understands.
Thank You,
Jo Blogs.
