The hosts warn against using chatbots as "oracles" for theology or faith, noting that they provide mathematical calculations rather than spirit-filled answers. One host shares an anecdote about his AI describing a photo of him with his granddaughter, noting the "woke" gender-neutral language and the creepy accuracy of the description. They emphasize that while AI can be useful for automation, it should never be treated as a deity or a source of truth.
