What's Real and What's Not?
All who know me also know about my love of music. I’m almost never without it. My playlist on “IHeart” has almost 1000 songs on it, ranging from gospel to bluegrass to Pink Floyd. I grew up in a “singing family” with mom, dad, brothers and sister, and people from the coal camp joining on the back porch (or inside when the weather turned), singing acappella gospel or country songs.
But have you heard of Eddie Dalton Monroe (gospel)? Or Arthur Hayes (gospel and country)? Or approximately hundreds of other “AI (Artificial Intelligence) singers”?
AI music is no longer a fantasy or niche market. It’s here, and it’s already beginning to have an impact on Billboard’s charts.
In just the past few months, at least six AI or AI-assisted artists have debuted on various Billboard rankings. That figure could be higher, as it’s become increasingly difficult to tell who or what is powered by AI — and to what extent. Many of these charting projects, whose music spans every genre from gospel to rock to country, come with complete videos. It’s getting hard to tell what’s real and what’s not..
The Bible does not mention artificial intelligence by name, (though scriptures frequently touch on the ancient city of Ai in the Old Testament such as in the Book of Joshua), but that is real, or was! There are ruins of that town in existence today.
So why are we talking about it? Well, what’s real and what’s fake ought to be of real importance to Christians.
What is real brings freedom: Jesus taught that abiding in His word leads to knowing the truth, and "the truth will set you free" (John 8:32) from sin, spiritual deception, and fear.
What is real provides sanctification.Truth transforms and sanctifies the believer's mind and behavior (John 17:17; 2 Thessalonians 2:13).
What is real will equip you for Spiritual Warfare: In Ephesians 6:14, truth is depicted as the "belt of truth" strapped around a soldier's waist—serving as the core anchor that holds the rest of the spiritual armor together against deception.
What is real provides moral action and acceptable worship. Scripture teaches that God desires people to worship Him "in spirit and in truth" (John 4:24), not shifting cultural patterns.
So let’s be mindful of AI, but in religion let’s hang on to what is real! ~jme
