EP 197 – REPLANTING AND ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE

We're back at it again Bootcampers. Bob is battling Chipmunks and Jimbo is trying to be sympathetic and fortunately, the CEO of our great sponsor, One Eighty Digital, Wesley Lewis dropped by to help us understand how AI (Artificial Intelligence) impacts ministry and life. Things to keep in mind regarding AI It is being used (advertisements, social media etc.) It can be helpful (drafting emails, correspondence etc.) It has limitations (it can be incorrect) It can make your work easier and faster. Some Cautions to keep in mind It is insufficient in doing the work that changes you (sermon prep, prayer) It is a temptation to become a substitute for hard work It may be, in certain instances, a matter of integrity when it comes to you representing its work as your content. Mentioned in the podcast: Squirrel Obstacle Course SBC Resolution Three: On Artificial Intelligence Cyberdyne George Jetson Get Ready Machine   JimBo Stewart: [00:00:00] Here we are, back at the bootcamp. Back at it again, Bob. I hope you're ready for the next episode as we keep diving in to the world of replanting and revitalization together. It's good to be with you again, brother Bob Bickford: Jimbo, it's good to be here. I've been battling Nature JimBo Stewart: Nature.

It's, it's the, the squirrels seem to have a good time. Bob Bickford: All right. So I don't wanna do anything to encourage the squirrels to continue to be a part of my ecosystem in the backyard, because we have a walnut tree and, it costs like $10,000 to get it cut down.
