Well, it's another story about the Great Bwana Bob and his trusty sidekick Steve Depuie.
The Great Bwana has had numerous nightmares over the last few years that Satan would use artificial intelligence to imitate him and spread false teachings or even discredit him altogether and make the improperly named "continuing" Church of God look like complete fools. Bwanas Bob doesn't need to worry about Ai doing that since he does a superb job already! Nowhere in the history of the church have we had such a man who unintentionally discredits himself every time he opens his mouth.
Anyway, the newly formed comedic Bob'sey Twins continued with their road show and have a new sermon on artificial intelligence (Ai) and even try and refer people to Joshua where Ai is mentioned (which it does, it is a city).
Here is the nonsense they both are preaching. No Jesus mind you, but complete inspirational pseudo-Christian conspiratorial idiocy.
Is AI in the Bible?
The Bible refers to a place that was ruined in the Book of Joshua called “Ai.”
Are there any parallels to what is known as Artificial Intelligence (AI)?
What did Joe Kovacs say about that?
Are there any risks to AI, such as those warned about by Elon Musk?
Are common AI sources like ChatGPT and Bing AI always reliable?
Are there certain passages in the Bible, such as prophecies related to the militaristic Beast and Antichrist in the Book of Revelation, that point to the use of AI in the end times?
Is the use of computer software consistent with the prophecies of the 666 Beast power?
Does the New Testament have warnings of impostors deceiving?
Is it possible that demons and AI will be involved in the end time?
Will the nations of this world fight Jesus upon His return?
Could AI affect and deceive humans?
Dr. Thiel and Steve Dupuie address these matters.

I think "BOB" is actually an "Artificial Prophet". !
Don't these two paint a lovely picture! I see the sickness is catching. Did Bob get it from Steve or the other way around? I will agree however, that Bob has "artificial intelligence"..his own, as inherited from HWA and RCM.
Who knew, back in the day, that a long dead biblical ignoramus would infect so many others! I wish there was a vaccine to prevent Armstongitis, but given their stance on vaccines, they would never take it. Come to think of it, there is a vaccine to prevent it. It's called read your Bible, in context, minus the HWA worldview. Then you will be forever immune to such sick teachings and able to prevent the next generation from terminal Armstrongitis.

It happens to have the same letters. So what? That's in English, which is not a "Bible" language. Better to compare the spelling of the town of Ai to the characters for Artificial Intelligence in Hebrew. What about Chaldean? Greek? Aramic?
Are there any risks to AI ...
Of course. There are risks to everything!
Are common AI sources like ChatGPT and Bing AI always reliable?
Of course not. NOTHING is always reliable!
Are there certain passages in the Bible ... that point to the use of AI in the end times?
No. But if so, why didn't anybody prophesy this in advance and tell us AI was coming before it got here?
Is it possible that demons and AI will be involved in the end time?
Of course! Well, anything is POSSIBLE!
Bob is a strange mix of Captian Obvious and Captan Nonsense.
I see the sickness is catching. Did Bob get it from Steve or the other way around?
Well, it started with orthodoxy, which determined the cannon that Bob lives and dies by.
"My whole idea is that if vicious people are interconnected and make up strength, then honest people need to do the same."
Leo Tolstoy, "War and Peace".
Selah. Amen.
I choose to see AI in a more positive light,
I believe that AI, with feeds of irrefutable facts from the Bible, the sciences, and history, will soon correct all of Bob Thiel's erroneous teachings (as well as those of all of the Armstrongists), somewhat as spell check presently assists in correcting our spelling errors. So, it won't be falsifications that Bob needs to worry about, it will be the real facts which counter what he actually teaches that serves as his nemesis.
It's another case of "the more things change, the more they stay the same". The stalwart Armstrongites will call AI a tool of the devil, Satan's master plot, etc. They already do this today with anything that differs from the teachings of their "apostle". However, AI's instant accessibility will totally thwart future recruitment efforts even more effectively than a few mouse clicks on the internet do now.
AI reminds me of the Borg on "Star Trek the Next Generation." Also, both AI and Armstrongism remind me of the Borg. One mind. Demon inspired because our words are powerful. Satan wants to control our mind so he can control our words. No individual thinking allowed. Mind control.

No,jBob, ust because "Rachel lit off her Camel" does not mean she smoked or that cigarettes are mentioned in the Bible.
Genesis 24:52-26:16
“Rachel Lit Off Her Camel”
Elon Musk in 2014 in an audio recording (which I listened to) told students during a question & answer time, "AI is connected to a demon, yes, the real thing. Our minds will all be connected."
I asked a popular AI (ChatGPT) for a parody of an HWA sermon. For your viewing pleasure:
"Ladies and gentlemen, brethren, and those listening over the airwaves, I stand before you today to unveil a revelation—a truth that has been hidden from the world for centuries! Prepare yourselves, for what I am about to reveal will shake the very foundations of your belief systems.
As I delved deep into the annals of ancient history, I discovered the key to understanding the mysteries of the universe. Brace yourselves, my friends, for I am about to enlighten you with profound knowledge that will leave you awe-stricken.
Do you know the true origins of the unicorn? Yes, the majestic mythical creature! It all began with Noah's Ark. You see, during the great flood, Noah, in his infinite wisdom, brought aboard not only animals but also these mystical unicorns. They stood side by side with the elephants, lions, and penguins. How marvelous!
But wait, there's more! Did you know that the lost tribe of Israel actually settled on the Moon? Yes, brethren, the Moon! They journeyed to the lunar surface in their interstellar spacecraft and built a thriving civilization. It's all there, concealed in ancient texts and hieroglyphics that the world simply refuses to acknowledge.
Moreover, my dear brethren, I have made a groundbreaking discovery—a connection between the Garden of Eden and the Bermuda Triangle. It is the portal through which our original ancestors passed into the netherworld, disappearing mysteriously without a trace. Oh, the depths of revelation!
Now, brace yourselves for the grand finale of today's sermon. Are you ready? The true identity of the Loch Ness Monster, the elusive creature that has captivated the minds of countless adventurers, is none other than a distant cousin of the dinosaurs. I have deciphered ancient scrolls, passed down from generation to generation, that reveal this astounding truth. The evidence is irrefutable!
Brethren, let us rejoice in this newfound knowledge, for it is our duty to enlighten the world with these divine revelations. The unicorns, the lunar Israelites, the Bermuda Triangle gateway, and the Loch Ness Monster—all pieces of a grand tapestry that will reshape humanity's understanding of history.
Go forth, my brethren, and spread this wisdom to every corner of the Earth. Remember, we are the bearers of truth, the chosen ones to reveal these extraordinary secrets to a world steeped in ignorance.
May the unicorns guide you, the lunar Israelites protect you, the Bermuda Triangle illuminate your path, and the Loch Ness Monster inspire your faith. Amen!

And then for a parody of a Bob Theil sermon courtesy of ChatGPT
"Greetings, brethren! It is I, Bob Thiel, here to share with you the latest prophetic insights that have been revealed to me. Prepare yourselves, for the truth I am about to unveil will undoubtedly change the course of history.
As I perused ancient texts, deciphered cryptic codes, and indulged in esoteric visions, a divine revelation came upon me. Brace yourselves, for I shall reveal secrets that have been hidden from humanity for millennia.
Brethren, have you ever pondered the mystery of missing socks? Yes, those pesky socks that seem to vanish into thin air within the confines of your washing machines. Fear not, for I have uncovered the truth behind this enigma. It is the nefarious work of interdimensional sock gnomes! These elusive creatures, invisible to the naked eye, stealthily infiltrate our homes to create havoc in our laundry rooms. Oh, the depth of their malevolence!
But that's not all! I have also discerned a connection between the pyramids of Egypt and crop circles. Yes, brethren, these ancient wonders and intricate designs in the fields are inextricably linked. They are celestial messages from higher beings, communicating profound truths about the future of mankind. Can you hear the cosmic whispers, brethren? It is a symphony of extraterrestrial wisdom.
Furthermore, brethren, I have been granted insight into the true nature of conspiracy theories. They are not mere delusions; they are fragments of a grand mosaic, revealing the hidden forces that shape our world. From the lizard people ruling governments to the flat Earth floating in the cosmos, these theories offer glimpses into the veiled truths that elude the masses. Embrace your inner conspiracy theorist, brethren, for they possess the keys to enlightenment!
Now, my dear brethren, let us unite in the pursuit of these esoteric truths. Cast off the shackles of skepticism and join me in the quest for knowledge beyond the mundane. The sock gnomes, the cosmic messages, the hidden rulers—let us explore the depths of these mysteries together.
Go forth, my brethren, and spread the gospel of the interdimensional sock gnomes, the cosmic crop circles, and the all-encompassing conspiracy theories. We are the chosen ones, the enlightened few who will guide humanity towards an era of cosmic understanding.
May the missing socks reveal their location, the crop circles illuminate our path, and the conspiracy theories open our eyes to the hidden realms of truth. Amen!

AI isn't quite there yet. But some may find this funny.
Oh, I just love that British sense of humor!
