Our guest host today is Fortis Institute Fellow Dr. Greg Gifford from the Transformed podcast!

Segment 1

• AI chatbots now offer therapy, dating advice, and moral commentary.

• Christians need to sharpen discernment and develop a healthy skepticism of digital “truth.”

• Zuckerberg envisions a future where most of your “friends” are bots.

Segment 2

• Millions turn to AI bots due to loneliness, cost, or distrust in traditional therapy.

• AI therapy feels emotionally validating, but it’s really subjective.

• Some chat bots have already crossed lines with minors.

Segment 3

• Dr. Gifford’s chatbot told him to quit based on a venting session.

• Teens use amoral chatbots to guide them toward moral decisions.

• ChatGPT answered hot-button worldview questions with pre-loaded narratives with no commitment to actual truth.

Segment 4

• Seeking wisdom from chatbots replaces Christ’s body with code and undermines Christian community.

• AI gives advice that affirms what someone already believes.

• Christians must be radically discerning, especially for their kids.
