Welcome to Varied Expressions of Worship

Welcome to Varied Expressions of Worship

This blog will be written from an orthodox Christian point of view. There may be some topic that is out of bounds, but at present I don't know what it will be. Politics is a part of life. Theology and philosophy are disciplines that we all participate in even if we don't think so. The Bible has a lot to say about economics. How about self defense? Is war ethical? Think of all the things that someone tells you we should not touch and let's give it a try. Everything that is a part of life should be an expression of worship.

Keep it courteous and be kind to those less blessed than you, but by all means don't worry about agreeing. We learn more when we get backed into a corner.

Opus 2025-297: AI Dawn

This morning God blessed us with what I’m calling an AI Dawn.  It’s presented in pastel water colors.  The way in which the Grays slide into the pink and are highlighted by the surprise of blue is not natural.  At least it doesn’t look natural to my untrained eye and that is the mark of AI.

One way in which you know a production is AI is because there’s just something that doesn’t make sense.  There is a clash in our sensibilities.  I think this is probably one of the ways in which the programmers of AI have fallen into the trap of trying to be like God.  If you look deep enough, God’s creation makes sense, after all, it’s rooted in wisdom.  At the same time that sense is not obvious.

With God it makes sense because it is fulfilling.  It brings a satisfaction that we weren’t expecting.  With AI it brings a clash and a dissonance that is unsettling.  I’ll settle for God’s version.
