  1. Past hour
  2. Something I have thought about is the organization might prepare an AI-powered search tool that allowed to search information in our publications in a simpler way. You might ask "What does Genesis 7:11 mean?" or "how can I encourage someone who is struggling with the loss of a loved one?" and it would return the most recent references in our publications, and maybe even summarize or translate them. That would simplify things a lot for those less skillful with computers and for those in whose languages there are not many publications available. The tool would be designed just to search, it would not compose talks like ChatGPT does.
  3. I feel the same, Lance. I ignore comments that seem written by AI. I don't have the time to read what a machine has to say about anything.
  4. (AI generated comment) Haha, just kidding Lance, that was my fake AI comment! Those are my words about you. You are very good brother and friend! 😎
  5. Hello, Do you have a recommendation for a cool website that will generate a map in A2 format that I can edit to create a congrigation map or something? Or some tool for that? Of course, I'll end up with PhotoPea, but is there anything faster?
  6. Today
  7. You can watch the entire Isaiah Chapter 8 video with NWT audio narration at this link https://www.bibliaprints.com/bible/isaiah/chapter-8/
  8. Isaiah's wife, showing young Mahershalalhashbaz "Hey, Look! That's you!" (His name had to be written on a large tablet and displayed in public) Isaiah Chapter 8 jw.mp4
  9. As brotherly reminder. We must not rely on any means of info source whether info of our brothers or organizational info except jw.org. Please be careful in choosing info source
  10. Personally I find a lot of comments that use AI totally …I just ignore. Many AI generated comments often sound polished but hollow …like they’re missing the warmth, nuance, or imperfections that make human communication feel alive. The language and tone is very neutral. Like talking to a beige wall…. Not that I talk to many beige walls but I think you get my drift.
  11. I was given this link recently, if may help you with Quizz ideas : https://www.6071914.xyz/
  12. Understanding AI Through the Lens of the 1988 Awake! (July 8, p. 15) On July 8, 1988, Awake! made a statement that still deserves careful attention. Page 15 observed: “The fact remains, however, that computer and human capabilities appear to be basically different and, for the foreseeable future, no human-like robot is likely to emerge.” That was not fear talking. It was sober analysis. And nearly four decades later, even with the explosion of modern AI, the statement holds its shape. Back then, the most advanced systems could play chess at world-champion speed. Yet the article pointed out that such machines could not generalize, could not reason morally, could not understand language in the human sense. They gave the appearance of intelligence but were simply executing complex patterns at high speed. Today’s systems are incomparably more capable — but not fundamentally different. They generate fluent language, analyze images, summarize legal documents, answer questions, and operate in areas that were unimaginable in 1988. But every one of those abilities sits on the same foundation Awake! described: pattern processing without understanding, prediction without perception, output without inner life. 2024 research shows that AI can simulate insight but does not possess it. It can recognize emotional cues in text but cannot sense emotion. It can assist decision-making but does not comprehend consequences. It remains bounded by the information it has been given and the structures humans have built. In other words, nearly forty years of progress have expanded AI’s usefulness — not its nature. That is why the 1988 statement remains accurate: computer and human capabilities are “basically different.” And that is why your perspective is right — AI is a tool. Tools extend human ability; they do not replace the origin of that ability. A tool cannot grow beyond its design. A tool cannot form motives. A tool cannot seek its Creator. And a tool cannot teach itself wisdom, no matter how fast or fluent it becomes. If anything, the advances since 1988 make the distinction clearer. The more complex our tools grow, the more extraordinary the human mind appears by contrast. David’s words echo the point: “I shall praise you because in a fear-inspiring way I am wonderfully made.” His statement is not challenged by artificial intelligence — it is reinforced by it. So when we educate others about AI, we do so with calm accuracy. Not alarm. Not fascination. Simply clarity: powerful tools can assist us, but they cannot touch the design, purpose, or depth of the mind Jehovah created. And understanding that distinction helps keep technology in its proper place — beneath the human mind, and far beneath the One who formed it. I have personally had a lot of experience with AI. I use it as a researcher. I use it as an investigator. I use it because I learned things faster than it can get me the information. I have performed lots of experiments to test AI. Just this evening. I matched Google AI Gemini, against ChatGPT. It's a sad story what happened. I've never seen a computer/AI throw a temper tantrum before it was like a little kid who had to get his own way.
  13. I wasn't. But now I am. 😁😅 Will we reach version 16? It fits with 2026 and deserves big updates.
  14. Attention is what our friend Pauline needs to pay, she confused this game with the other one, but we love her anyways. 🙃
  15. Dummies can be artificial puppets like the ones used to crash test cars or people who just don't pay attention.
  16. You must verify what Ai says. It will even create entire articles out of thin air or say the article was from this Watchtower on that date only for that to be completely wrong. Trust but verify.

    • Modern references to creative days:
       
      *** w15 6/1 p. 5 How Science Affects Your Life ***
      The Bible fixes no duration for the six creative “days.” Instead, it opens the door for modern scientists to study them and assign accurate time spans to them. We know that the creative “days” were much longer than 24-hour days.
       
      *** g21 No. 3 p. 12 What the Bible Tells Us ***
      So each of the six creative “days” during which God prepared the earth for life and created life on it could represent extremely long periods of time.
       
      *** g 1/14 p. 12 Creation ***
      WHAT THE BIBLE SAYS God created the universe, including the earth, in the indefinite past—“in the beginning,” as Genesis 1:1 says. Modern science agrees that the universe had a beginning. A recent scientific model suggests it to be almost 14 billion years old.
       
      *** lc pp. 26 Science and the Genesis Account ***
      A careful consideration of the Genesis account reveals that events starting during one “day” continued into one or more of the following “days.”

      Why the trinity cannot be true:
       
      Since God is a completely perfect being, there cannot be a second person who is God, for they would have to differ in some way, and to differ from complete perfection is to be less than perfect and not be God.

      My deep love for my heavenly father and his confirmed love for me seems to be the only thing keeping me going lately. Picturing being reunited with my earthly father again; seeing the happiness versions of ourselves bring comfort to my scarred, broken heart. I love you, even when I haven’t met many of you. Keep enduring friends, paradise is just around the corner...
