So welcome to the podcast. This is episode 374. 374. So I'm Douglas Wilson and I'm glad you decided to join us.

I would like to talk a little bit about how to use AI honestly. Now, it's very clear that the AI revolution is upon us, and Christians need to figure out how to use AI honestly, because it's manifestly the case that it's possible to use AI dishonestly.
