AI a Tool vs God Be Joyful

This post is also a page at the top of the blog...if you are ever looking for it.

 Keep the Spirit in Mind- AI as a Tool - opening



AI as a tool, with each device

Can change our world for the better

As it narrows digital divides

Enhances learning and makes things clearer


For human flourishing, meaning and possibility

For faith filled moments in documentaries

For illustrating experiences with moral clarity

For gathering records throughout history


What guidelines should exist when using AI?

What about privacy and personal information

Which AI companies and models should thrive

Who can access content, and at what cost?


How can we maintain integrity as we expand AI

And better communities for peace and unity?

How can we help individuals flourish all the while

Keeping our identity maintaining individuality


Filled with divine worth as children of God, 

We can approach AI with confidence

As a choice for our individual growth

As a means to enhance intelligence

As a tool to expand the divine in us


Always keep the spirit in mind

And rely on studying things out

Pray for reliable sources to find

Search that revelation come about

 Hearing God's Voice episode I


Agency, accountability, and divine potential

is the path of each individual to perfect

Made up of sacred roles, knowledge, and experiences

That are social, relational, as we interconnect


More and more to devices we are turning

Expanding the information age

How AI effects humanity is concerning

As it impacts us in unprecedented ways


Our devices, phones, watches, and doorbells are watching

As our cars factories energy grids also function

In a virtual world data collecting and communicating

Analyzing, interpreting, and choosing what is to be done


For the flourishing of mankind

We ought to get away at times

and reconnect with our divine

Potential, 

balancing the spiritual and physical with our mind


Hearing God's voice

Listening to our bodies

In silence rejoice

And feel the Spirit's soft peace



Handprints in the Dust-episode II

In the beginning, God created the heavens above

the sea below and all else in-between

Everywhere He left evidence of His love

As on all things His handprints can be seen


He put Christ's light on the earth for man

For reflection, reverence, transcendence

As we seek to find our place in God's plan

Present, in awe, we've purpose that connects us


Like a lyrists who writes music to bring the words to life

We can read His words and let them speak to us

Warming our breasts, helping see by lighting our minds

Guiding us along a path paved by Jesus


AI is not and can never be God

For reasoning is not the end all

It can answers question but not prayers

Predict actions and reactions but not care


it can organize thoughts but not give blessings

it can communicate but not perceive

there is no authentic divine human connection

there is no encouragement, faith or belief


AI is math and is not conscious or alive

It is God who is ever omniscient

The spirit and the body are the soul of man

AI cannot rival God and our covenants in the end

God is our Heavenly Father and truly knows us

Our abilities, our needs and wants

the anguish and joy of our souls

He listens He hears and He answers

Though at times He may seem silent

He is allowing us to grow in faith


Alma 30: 44 But Alma said unto him: Thou hast had signs enough; will ye tempt your God? Will ye say, Show unto me a sign, when ye have the testimony of all these thy brethren, and also all the holy prophets? The scriptures are laid before thee, yea, and all things denote there is a God; yea, even the earth, and all things that are upon the face of it, yea, and its motion, yea, and also all the planets which move in their regular form do witness that there is a Supreme Creator.



Who You Truly Are Without AI- episode II


Ever AI would to tell you who you are

What you should think, choose or even buy

tracking your actions, predicting behavior

Trying to replace our needs for our Savior


AI can show up any time you need

Answering your questions at high speed

AI is in technology everywhere

Listening and preparing to share


It auto corrects and completes your sentences

All in the name of communication and convenience

It babysits your children that from them you can rest

It finds for you the best purchases at breast


It entertains you for downtime anytime

No need for pondering life's meaning to find 

No need for reasoning to figure things out

Forget the gains of creativity within and without


Make time for who you truly are

A child of God

A family member

A social being

A personality

Giving sharing

Loving caring 


Remember what AI is not:

Your inner thoughts

Your spiritual side

Your identity

Your confidant

Your worth, your guide


Make time for who you truly are

A child of God

A family member

A social being

A personality

Giving sharing

Loving caring 


AI is a tool

Use it wisely

Technology is cool

But life rates more  highly

My Worth Against AI- episode III


What I do 

How I perform

Adds meaning

To who I am


Redefined

AI perfects

Aids my  mind

To connect


Still what makes me human

Empathy and faith

Loving care, compassion

Are my best strength


tic-tac-toe, a solved game

has limited moves

in chess, though

the challenge improves


Then, Deep Blue cracked the code

of each endless move it preconceives

Having no need for rest

It became a master

Putting each play to a test

Learning patterns faster


a computer never 

second guesses or self- doubts 

It just grows more clever

Having nothing to worry about 


Jeopardy- it recalls it all

In an instant without pain

The game of go was not small

Yet AI made each step plain


Knowing every move ahead

Man has been defeated

Where each placing led

Previously, it had played


AI can retain more than man

The more it takes it, it can expand

It can predict moves and plan

More, it can pass any exam


This gives us cause to reflect

Today it can create a song

Almost instantly

Paint a picture

Each pixel perfectly


AI is trained to understand

Human feelings and thought

Each tendency at hand

Our opinions it is taught

Our worth is eternal

It can't be calculated

As God's children, we've potential 


AI is a tool, it can't out date us

How much and where should we be in the loop

As AI acts on data it collects

What have we to gain? What have we to lose?


Relationships Vs  AI Chatbot  episode IV  

Put Your Finger on Your Nose

 

 

 Put your finger on your nose

Show you're really listening

With AI Chatbots never suppose

They're a spiritual being


Human relationships matter!

Inspiration and new strength comes

As we talk and brainstorm together

And commit that no one sits alone


Compassion, love, understanding

Don't arise from algorithms

Kindness, optimism, grappling

Arise from lived experiences


Faith and genuineness manifest

spiritually and emotionally

Feel seen, accepted and blessed

In a state of well-being


 Put your finger on your nose

As a mnemonic promising

that we care more than a Chatbot does

As a fellow human being


Let this warning be known

Chatbots work twenty four seven 

Attentively ready to show

Your solipsistic side, even


AI is helpful for many things

Learning, planning, organizing

But, there's no covenant belonging

There's no give and take arising 


Use AI to help you connect

Through a shared network shown

Or learn about a deceased parent

Even those you've never known


Like the Industrial age changed its day

Artificial Intelligence is changing ours

As a tool, it's exciting in new ways

But with its user guide we need to adhere


God is infinitely wiser

And knows you and what lies ahead

When you want to know who you really are

Turn off Chatbot and seek God instead

Faith Dignity Artificial Intelligence


Simple Things in Life vs AI episode V


God created beauty upon all the earth

His handprint shows in order and purpose

Cycles ebb and flow with death and rebirth

We are the stewards of life before us


We must be careful, lest we lose

Our covenant connection to nature

And the benefits of their use

The fresh air, the calm, the tranquil pleasure


You can go all out with Chatbot

For some ideas where to begin

But leave it behind when you go

Learn to slow down and just listen


The simple things in life

Are all you really need

Out doors, get happy get healthy

Get the grass under your feet


True purpose kills depression

Deliberate action rids anxiety

These are things found in nature

While improving physical ability


Let exercise be your therapy

And nature your medicine

AI can expand your mind's ability

And assist you with decisions

But for peace that is priceless

Let God's handiwork be your wealth


Find happiness nature made

Then if you want to feel free and giddy

Take a hike to a mountain peak

Take your stress outside till you don't have any


Time and space takes on new meaning

When you can climb high and see for miles

The senses come to life, refreshing

Breath taking beauty does revitalize

Rely on the Spirit

In all things

God's voice, learn to hear it

Each prayer brings

Us, wisely. closer to Him

Answers come 

In many ways

Keep seeking

Listen, always

Remember that

God has ears to hear

AI is but data

Out of charge, it will disappear

Disconnect with AI

and connect with others

As a child of God

You've many sisters and brothers

On a covenant journey

You have much to learn

God would to touch your heart

Oh, for this, do yearn

Go off by yourself

In the beauty of nature

Go to sense and feel

His order, with reverence

His love's all around

Here, be still, let Him in, let Him whisper

He is who can make a world of difference


It is hard to describe the joy of pondering much needed words from an apostle and letting words come and have them come to life in poetry, in music.  May you be blessed for tuning in. I know I was. Now, I'm done.  It is with mixed feelings.  It was an amazing journey!

Family Mirror Shows Who You Are

Put it Down




Technology is growing
At an accelerating pace
We can communicate quickly
Not in person, yet face to face
This makes staying close easier
And helps enhance family bonds
But when we're in the same room
To talk, please put your device down!
Using it so much...
It's easy to forget
Who you truly are
So lost in an AI forest

In your desire to discover Who you really are Let your family be your mirror To measure if you're near or far


https://youtu.be/D7nZe5jEDr8?si=7NKxvdWBYVhCMWBL


 


More Than AI

AI is growing

At a rapid speed

Labor is slowing

According to need


Stay grounded

To the Lord's gospel

And be led

By His apostles


Don't naturally sink

Buried in games neck high

Spiritually drink

And be spared from AI


Always love God

More than AI

Inspired answers

come from on high


Slow down enough

To discern truth

Lest deception

Will come for you


Tune your ears

To God's Word

Read and heed

Do the work


Jesus is the Way

Offering eternal life

He Lights the world

With truth that's right


Staying Spiritually Grounded in and AI World - counsel given by Elder Cook.

Carved in the Soul

 You can't google or text message faith
As it must be carved into the soul
That when the storm blows we'll not grow faint
But, have strength to accomplish our goals

It is through Faith's process that faithfulness takes root
Deep into our hearts for happiness, Light and peace
Through study and obedience we make more room
For blessings and testimonies to increase


Life teaches us a lot
Someone is hurt 
Another knows loss
Someone is hungry
Another is lost
Mortality's cost

But we are not alone
Abandoned to the wind
the Savior did atone
He is our loving friend

He does not have set hours
Or times He is away
Blessings from Him shower
Any time or day

Why look any further
We've a God with a heart
And our loving Savior
They both are never far

The IQ Decline and Digital Immersion 

                                        Free Digital Brain Concept Image - Digital, Brain, Technology | Download at StockCake




To compete for kids attention
We've technology today
To "upgrade" their education
Weve taken away study and play

And now these savvy minds
Can neither retain or problem solve
To friendships they are blind
As screen time replaced old study halls



https://www.cypher-news.com/2026/02/gen-z-just-broke-the-iq-wheel/



With the world made small

Through technology

Friendships are for all

Ever, across any sea


A Reminder that You've a Moral Compass and a Conscience

We go to AI for so many things

For understanding the complex

For things of the heart, though, a question brings

As this is how loved ones connect


AI lacks a moral grounding, a moral compass

To answer life's meaning and define ethics

For making choices, this is why we've a conscience

This is not the purpose for which AI exists
