Artificial intelligence technology may be capable of writing a church sermon on just about any prompt it's given. But a BYU professor warns that ChatGPT may not necessarily be accurate.
This is part of a KSL.com series looking at the rise of artificial intelligence technology tools such as ChatGPT, the opportunities and risks they pose and what impacts they could have on various aspects of our daily lives.
I gave ChatGPT the same prompt my bishop sent to me a few weeks ago when I was preparing for a talk in my congregation of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. It produced an eight paragraph talk that closely resembled the structure of talks I'm used to hearing from the pulpit. It started with "brothers and sisters," included a scripture and ended with an invitation.
"It's a wonderful thing, quite frankly, for members because it provides good experience. It provides variety. It also lets you hear different life experiences and different perspectives. And … especially for the youth, it's really great training," he said. ChatGPT, Alford said, will not output a heartfelt personal testimony. That will always need to be added by the individual giving the sermon.
"I'm concerned that youth, especially if they rely too much on ChatGPT, may inadvertently let some things creep in their talks that are just not accurate. They're just not right," he said.
