Would Would A Perfect AI Chatbot (Godbot) Lack? Andy Crouch, Part 2

Can AI replace a pastor? Can artificial intelligence answer spiritual questions, teach Christian faith, or help us become wiser?

In this Theology Lab conversation, Andy Crouch joins Scott and Greg at Theology lab to explore AI and Christianity, artificial intelligence and faith, spiritual formation, human flourishing, and the limits of technology.

We ask why getting the right answers is not the same as growing in wisdom, why love requires more than pattern recognition, and why human presence and sacrificial love cannot be reduced to information. As AI tools become more capable, what should Christians embrace, question, or refuse? Does AI threaten human purpose? Can it help us discern something important about what it means to be human?

Key topics: - Can AI replace pastors, teachers, or spiritual mentors? - What is the difference between (artificial) information and spiritual formation? - Can artificial intelligence understand love? - What does the resurrection of Jesus have to do with human flourishing? - Why don’t Christians need to respond to AI with fear? - How can technology become an idol? - What should Christian educators protect in an age of AI?
