Podcast 345 -- "Hey Google, Write My Sunday Sermon" Genesis 11:1-9

We wrap up our study of Rod Dreher's The Benedict Option debating the author's contentious view of the Internet, social media and the accompanying cultural message to envelope oneself in a virtual world to escape the real one. We add a discussion of AI, which has exploded since Dreher published, and what ethical questions it raises for Christians. And is "Transhumanism," Raymond Kurzweil's vision of combining humanity with AI, an attainable goal or a false idol? Can we use technology to create a better human being or is it doomed to be a post-modern Tower of Babel? Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information. Learn more about your ad choices.
