The Gospel Coalition has drawn its line in the sand here regarding the use of AI and brilliantly elaborated on why I never use AI. The article is worth reading in entirety.

“It’s an offense to the word “writing” to apply it to AI-arranged words and sentences. What AI produces is an impressively polished, usually helpful, sometimes cheeky string of words. But it’s just instantaneous pattern recognition and data organization. It’s soulless slop that can mimic and masquerade as brilliant writing. It’s aggressively efficient, speedily rendered, sycophantic information.

But it’s not writing.

Even when it’s created at the behest of a human’s creative prompt and detailed parameters, and even when it’s just assisting a human who has real writing chops, AI-fashioned content doesn’t deserve to be called writing.

Writing is an art form and a labor of love (love is something AI cannot do).

Writing is a product of deeply human, necessarily inefficient processing, meandering, wrestling, noodling, cogitating, and often suffering (suffering is something AI cannot do).

For Christians, writing is a holy calling and an act of worship (worship is something AI cannot do) . . .

The Gospel Coalition has drawn a line in the sand on AI usage in the writing we publish. In short: We don’t want AI’s tentacles on any of the written works we publish. We want our audience to trust that what they get at TGC is human-made, human-edited, human-assessed, made in human community for other humans—as an act of love, fellowship, and worship . . .

Writers should not use AI for ideating, researching beyond a basic fact search, organizing, writing, or editing beyond a basic spelling check.”
