Counteract Podcast
Ep. 206 | Don't Outsource Your Humanity to AI: A Quick Guide to How Christians Should Use AI
On this episode, Abigail breaks down a conversation from her Counteract cell about Pope Leo's AI encyclical, what it means to be made in the image of God, and a simple framework (CIRCLE) for where AI does and doesn't belong in a Christian's life. This one gets personal. Abigail walks through her own missteps with AI (yes, including asking ChatGPT for relationship advice) and makes the case that creation, inspiration, reasoning, conversation, love, and enlightenment are uniquely human gifts we shouldn't hand off to a machine — even as she's honest about where AI can be a useful tool for research and organization. It's a call to be proactive instead of reactive about protecting what makes us human. Join us at Resolve to Stand this October 2-3 in Rogers, AR — link below. Use code PODCAST20 for 20% off.
