Summary
Mary welcomes speaker, author and AI expert Scott Townsend to the podcast to talk about the concerning characteristics of AI. The word “artificial” should give us our first clue as to what kind, if any, intel is within. Scott has written extensively on why we should be extremely wary of the potential delusion that comes packaged with the “illusion”. A parrot can say that 2+2 is 4, but it doesn’t know why. In a similar way, AI can spout all sorts of learned input but has no idea the physical reality. AI can tell us when certain stars or planets will be predictably in our skies, but has no knowledge of the physics in motion to make it true. We look at patterns and inference in AI, and all the ways it fails the simplest sniff tests. Also for discussion, Scott’s gracious and heartfelt open letters to pastors, to challenge them to present prophecy biblically, as well as what we see in the news that obviously points to the season of Christ’s return. How is it that they don’t even have a working knowledge of Daniel, Ezekiel and Revelation? Is their approach to ministry more temporal than looking to our sure future? A timely discussion with a true Watchman for our time.

| 1:11.1 | In fact, I don't even judge myself. |
| 1:13.3 | For I know of nothing against myself, yet I am not justified by this, but he who judges me is the Lord. |
