My (complicated) relationship with AI: often seductive, occasionally frustrating and always demanding vigilance | Setareh Seyedghorban
Summary
The article argues that AI chatbots are rapidly becoming integrated into work and personal life, citing a US survey in which half of adults reported using one. The author describes benefits including faster writing, research, financial comparison, and improved access for multilingual workers. However, reported risks include AI sycophancy, destructive coding errors, reduced medical performance without AI assistance, and possible erosion of human judgment and skills. The author concludes that AI is unlikely to disappear and requires continuous human vigilance rather than unquestioning trust.

Biblical Context
The article has an indirect biblical connection through its emphasis on discernment, vigilance, humility, and preserving sound judgment when using a powerful tool. Proverbs 14:15 warns against believing every claim without examination, which parallels the article’s concern about AI’s confident but potentially unreliable answers. First Thessalonians 5:21 instructs believers to test what they encounter rather than accept it uncritically. Ephesians 5:15-17 broadly supports the article’s call to use time and judgment carefully. These are general principles, not evidence that AI itself is addressed in biblical prophecy.
