Artificial intelligence (abbreviated AI) is a reality and is already part of our lives, because in recent days there has been a lot of talk about ChatGPT, which, despite being aligned with the woke ideology, has proven to be useful for professionals from different areas perform their tasks faster and more efficiently.
Artificial intelligence is no longer a futuristic concept limited to science fiction movies. Today it is present in everyday activities such as writing texts, editing images, translating languages, answering customer service requests, and even assisting in educational and medical environments. Thanks to its capacity to analyze large volumes of data in seconds, AI tools have become allies for productivity, creativity, and automation in many sectors.
There are many apps and services that use artificial intelligence, for example, the famous algorithms used by YouTube and Google use neural networks that supposedly learn what the user needs and base their recommendations and search results on that. These systems analyze viewing habits, search history, and user interactions in order to personalize content. There are also music apps that use artificial intelligence to separate instruments and voices, restore old recordings, or even generate melodies automatically. This article would be very long if we keep mentioning so many applications where AI is currently being used.
However, along with technological advances, ethical and spiritual concerns have also arisen. The curiosity of the human being seems to have no limits, since they have created an AI called God in a Box that uses ChatGPT to supposedly emulate a conversation with God using WhatsApp. This idea has generated controversy, especially among believers who consider that faith and spirituality should not be simulated or replaced by algorithms.
Here’s how it works: On the God in a Box website, you sign in with your Google account, register your phone number, verify your number through a message sent to you, then click a link sent to you by ChatGPT on WhatsApp in order to finalize your profile and from there you can chat with the AI that will pretend to be “God”. The responses are generated by artificial intelligence based on previously trained data, not by any divine source.
God in a Box allows ten messages a month for free. For unlimited messages they charge nine dollars a month. To prevent abuse, there is another limit of one message every ten seconds. They say that the messages are not saved on their servers to protect your privacy, although, as with any online service, users should always be cautious about the information they share.
The God in a Box website does not mention anything about the supported languages, but since it is based on ChatGPT, it is very likely that God in a Box understands English, Spanish, French, German, Italian, Portuguese, Russian, Chinese, Japanese, among others. This wide language support could make the platform accessible worldwide, increasing both its reach and the debate surrounding its purpose.
In conclusion, artificial intelligence continues to advance rapidly and surprise humanity with new and sometimes controversial uses. While AI can be a powerful tool for learning and productivity, it also raises important questions about limits, ethics, and respect for deeply held beliefs. Technology should serve humanity, not replace essential aspects of faith, conscience, and personal responsibility.
From a Christian perspective, it is important to remember that no artificial intelligence, no matter how advanced it may seem, can replace a personal relationship with God, prayer, or the guidance found in the Scriptures. AI operates based on data, probabilities, and patterns created by human beings, while faith is built on revelation, conviction, and a living relationship with the Creator. For this reason, believers are called to exercise discernment, using technology wisely without allowing it to distort spiritual truths or take a place that belongs only to God.
