And if Artificial Intelligence (AI) is the source, it can give an opinion ...but if it is merely stating a quote, it could likely be accurate unless it's not.

Well, that may be a confusing statement in itself.

Yet, what I'm saying is that there are times when someone will say something because they feel you want to hear it. With small arguably insignificant things, that could be considered encouragement. Though other times it could be considered a setup, gaining your trust in many ways ...as in establishing reliability as a trusted source or authority.

So, an accurate statement does not mean that therefore all  statements from that point on will be likewise accurate.

AI Overview

The 9th commandment is "You shall not bear false witness against your neighbor." This commandment, found in Exodus 20:16, is understood as a prohibition against lying and dishonesty, particularly in legal settings or when harming someone's reputation, according to Bible study resources. It emphasizes the importance of truthfulness and integrity in speech and actions. 

Here's a more detailed explanation:

         False Witness:

• The commandment specifically addresses the act of giving false testimony in court, but it extends to any situation where one intentionally misrepresents the truth to harm another person. 
•    Beyond Legal Settings:
While rooted in legal contexts, the principle of truthfulness applies to all areas of life. It includes avoiding gossip, slander, and any form of deception that can damage someone's reputation or well-being. 


Consequences of False Witness:
In the ancient world, false testimony could lead to severe consequences, including punishment for the accused, even if they were innocent. This highlights the seriousness with which God views truth and the potential harm caused by lies. 


God's Character:
The commandment reflects God's own nature as the "God of truth". Truthfulness is seen as an essential attribute of God, and humans are called to imitate this aspect of His character. 


Examples of Violations:
Various actions can violate the 9th commandment, including:
                                                                     
Spreading rumors and gossip.


Perjury (lying under oath).


Slander (making false and damaging statements about someone).


Not speaking up when someone is falsely confused.


Teaching or promoting false doctrine. 




Frequently when asked what the ninth Commandment given to Moses from God is ...it is simply stated as 'Do not lie'.




One could argue that AI cannot lie ...as it is programmed to answer in a certain way, and it correctly stated what the ninth Commandment is, so are we the ones who are a bit misleading if we shorten it to 'Do not lie'???


Yet, AI can be party to us believing something that is not true. When asked to come up with what Jesus said about a subject, I saw how the way the question was presented somehow affected the answer by AI ...and it listed a quote from Jesus which was not at all what Jesus said. So, AI could be a bit convincing with assisting someone in believing in a lie.

With all that being said, those points that I'm making aren't actually my main point, except that last statement about Jesus saying something He did not say.

We are asked not to give false witness about our neighbor, and AI does give reasons why that is very wrong. Yet, in the other mentioned case, AI gave false witness about God ...stating the Jesus said something that He didn't say, seemingly claimed because AI recognized it as something that was desired to be heard.

And giving false witness concerning the truth of God is quite concerning. Isn't that what the serpent did in the Garden of Eden??

Speaking of AI, what's the difference between intelligence and wisdom??

I'm sure AI has a ready answer for that question, yet so do I. Wisdom in the correct use of intelligence.

And I won't try to categorize where humor fits into all of that. But, I did find humor in the fact that a joyful looking female seemed to be very popular while in attendance at Wimbledon (for those of you who don't know, that is a very popular venue and arguably the most prestigious tennis tournament in the world). The humor of it is that she was never at Wimbledon, and furthermore, she was never anywhere ...she was created by AI, as was her appearance at the event.

She looked a bit familiar to me, and I wondered why. Then it came to me. I feel like I've been hacked when Facebook says my 'friend request' was accepted ...when I never made the request. And I compared the article about Wimbledon and the Facebook surprise ...and I'm quite certain it is the same person, so I don't know if I was hacked or 'had' ...or both.

I couldn't have been 'had' because I had nothing to do with it, and I quickly removed the AI creation from my Facebook account.

This just shows how inconsistent and unreliable AI can be. It can be useful, but also use us ...if we allow it, by allowing ourselves to be taken in.
