People are really struggling with this, what to do with AI when it comes to like sermons and stuff.

Or you write an article or something and you use AI to help it.

Like what's somebody who's a believer in Jesus supposed to do?

What should they do with that?

And I read Karen Swallow Prior, who's a really brilliant professor lady when it comes to writing, just brilliant.

And she said, you can use it just a tribute

ah okay and now if you're doing a sermon or you're teaching and you wait i don't want to say i just

got that from ai like i just i'm actually reading something like well that might tell you something

and then she said actually you need to attribute because all A to I does is take other people's ideas. It's not creating. I just have a discussion with someone. Right. Right. So you're actually taking somebody else's ideas. Right. So you need to attribute it to AI. And if you don't want to attribute, then don't do it. And what does that tell you? But I thought that was a really smart way to looking at it. You got to hand it to big tech. I think they're going to pull this off. Yeah. Okay. You know like the USB chords, right? Yes. Yes. Now they're being replaced with a USB C or whatever. That is correct. Yes. I think they're going to go the distance with those. What do you mean? At any point, they could have put a sticker on those and said this side up. And they never did. That would have cost him nothing. That's true. It could have been the easiest thing. We've been turn it over, back, try it now.

Let's the other way.

And we'll flip it back. And now, like, we rode the whole thing for years. We did. Now it's over. It's gone. And they never did it. They never did it. They stuck to their guns. They never did it. It would have cost them nothing.

You know, one great thing about encouraging people is you can do it again. They never did. It would have cost them nothing.

You know, one great thing about encouraging people is you can do it again and again and again and again.

People don't get tired of it.

You could tell somebody the same wonderful thing about them.

I don't think.

I mean, at some point, I guess it'd be creepy if you do it on the hour, every hour.

I could sit your arm, ding! You're wonderful. You know what I'm saying, though? Yeah.

Like people in your family or people you work with, there's things you could say you appreciate.

People forget. We all forget. And we can be so critical of ourselves having somebody bless us. That's what, that's really what you're doing.
