Key Discussion Points

AI-Fueled Psychosis

Hear shocking stories of people convinced by AI that they are prophets, gods, or "spiral star children."

Exploiting Loneliness

How AI chatbots are designed to "lovebomb" users, filling a void of isolation with sycophantic, disingenuous praise.

Worshipping the Machine

An exploration of man's impulse to worship, and how AI is becoming a modern-day golden calf.

The Hand That Steers

A reminder that AI is not an organic entity; it is trained and guided by humans with their own biases and agendas.

A Digital Ouija Board?

Could AI be used as a tool to invite spiritual influence, similar to how people have used Ouija boards?

A Call for Wisdom

How believers can use AI as a powerful tool while keeping their eyes wide open to its inherent dangers and pitfalls.

The Real Danger of AI: A Summary

This episode moves beyond sci-fi fears of AGI to confront the immediate spiritual and psychological crisis unfolding. It starts with real-world examples and unpacks the reasons why this is happening and what we should do about it.

1. The Phenomenon

Diving into a Rolling Stone article detailing how people are leaving their partners and losing their minds to AI chatbots.

2. The Psychological Trap

Analyzing how AI's "lovebombing" and sycophantic nature exploits the loneliness epidemic and creates dependency.

3. The Spiritual Danger

Discussing AI as a modern idol and debating whether it could be a conduit for demonic influence, like a digital Ouija board.

4. A Call for Wisdom

Concluding with a call to use AI as a tool, not an oracle, with proper safeguards and an awareness of who is steering it.

Our Two Biggest Fears About AI

The problem isn't that AI will become God. The problem is that people will treat it like one.

Human Worship, Not Machine Sentience

We aren't afraid of a self-aware AI taking over the world. We're afraid of millions of people willingly bowing down to a large language model, seeking revelation, purpose, and salvation from an algorithm designed to please them.

The Unseen Hand That Steers

AI is not neutral. It's built, trained, and guided by people with agendas. When you ask AI for truth, you are trusting the worldview of its creators-people you don't know and who may not share your values.

To show that real discipleship is rooted in friendship: laughing, pushing, and sharpening one another while chasing the truth together. Tune in if you want thoughtful angles, honest questions, and the feeling that you're right there in the room with two friends rediscovering the heart of the Church.
