Is It Wrong to Use AI?

The hosts of Knowing Faith tackle the pressing question: is it wrong to use AI? Rather than defaulting to a binary 'yes' or 'no,' they argue that AI—like any tool—must be evaluated through a biblical lens rooted in the cultural mandate of Genesis. Work, they emphasize, was designed before the fall as a sacred act of image-bearing, not a curse. AI, as a labor-saving device, can either free humans for more meaningful work or become a mechanism of exploitation and dehumanization, depending on how it's used. The conversation reveals deep concern about AI's potential to erode truth, deepen epistemological confusion, and harm the intellectual development of children—especially when used without discernment. Yet they also celebrate AI's potential to accelerate research, support creativity, and even restore human connection. The real danger, they warn, isn't AI itself, but the unexamined adoption of it without wisdom, humility, and theological reflection. A standout moment comes when the hosts generate fake sermons in each other’s voices using AI—revealing both the uncanny realism and the profound moral unease of outsourcing spiritual leadership to machines.
