Liberal activists are using artificial intelligence to rewrite the Bible and put words in the mouth of Jesus, a Daily Caller News Foundation review found.
People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) introduced their version of the biblical account of the creation story of Adam and Eve to give a "can't-be-missed animal rights message filled with vegan teachings," according to a May press release. PETA's manipulation of AI is one in a long list of concerns that religious advocates who spoke to the DCNF had about the technology's impact on faith.
"I do have concerns with what I understand PETA has done, which is using artificial intelligence, specifically ChatGPT, to rewrite the creation story," David Closson, director of the Center for Biblical Worldview at the Family Research Center, explained. "There's obviously different translations of the Old and the New Testament with ChatGPT ... but this isn't just a difference in translation. This is a different interpretation of the actual text and I think that there are theological issues with what PETA is putting out in this version of the Bible."
"It's ... a misrepresentation of what the Bible presents about creation and in that, it distorts the divine order that is a part of that creation story by really reframing the way the story is presented," Darrell Bock, executive director of Cultural Engagement and Senior Research Professor of New Testament Studies at the Dallas Theological Seminary, told the DCNF. "And so it's revisionism as opposed to really substantively reflecting what the Bible is saying. It fits PETA's mission, but it doesn't reflect what the Bible says about the creation." READ MORE
