Archdruid Eileen's Sermon on AI

 There appears to be a sudden upsurge in people asking whether Artificial Intelligence can be used to generate sermons. Apparently, this is what all the tired clergy-dudes are doing when they don't have the time to write sermons because they're too busy doing the jobs of circuit stewards, or they have no church wardens. 

And I admit. I have used AI on occasion to write a sermon. But you can count the number of times on the fingers of one hand: 

• The  sermon on 1 Corinthians 13, which was awesome in its generic nature. Quite correct, but deeply unoriginal.
• The sermon on Psalm 137:9 - where it refused to condone violence
• The other sermon on Psalm 137:9 - where it wholeheartedly endorsed genocide (I think they'd tweaked a setting)
• The sermon on John 3:16 - where it told me it was not allowed to comment on Biblical texts.
• The sermon on the Sermon on the Mount and the Sermon on the Plain. Where it told me that high church people prefer the former, and low church people the latter.
• The sermon on Ecclesiastes, where it became really sad and refused to tell me what it really thought.
• The sermon on Revelation, where it just span off and started shouting "kill kill kill". 

So on the whole, a mixed result. I would say that the best thing to do with AI sermons, is not.
