I Typed the Bible Into an Artificial Intelligence Art Generator. Here's What Happened 

My bad SoulHeights. I feel like such an idiot, but the truth is, I do overexplain sometimes, and it's clearly something I need to work on, and I've actually been told that since I was a little kid. I think the overexplaining problem probably started when I was about three. My mom used to give me these books with lots of bright colors and sounds, and then after I looked at them for a while she'd always ask me to describe to her what I'd seen in the book, and then she'd praise me more if my explanation was more detailed and maybe a little bit less if my description was a little more vague (even though she was always super supportive, and an attentive loving mom even to this day; she and my dad are still alive and doing well, and they even offer me great feedback and suggestions on my videos and podcasts that I do on the internet, so I'm not saying she did anything wrong here). Now look, she was probably just trying to nurture my communication skills and improve my ability to interact with adults and with the written word, but that kind of thing sticks with a kid, and I pretty soon I found myself carefully explaining things to my coaches, my teachers, classmates, people at church, teammates, cashiers, this one guy named Ted who my parents were friends with, but I'm not quite sure what he did for a living or even where they met him. But I can tell you this, Ted was a cool guy, and he would always ask the best follow up questions. I think one time Ted was with us at some kind of family pizza party at this little privately-owned pizza joint and arcade, and he let me explain the plot of all the video games in the arcade to him for hours. That was a great day, and I think I became a way better explainer after that. I heard Ted died a while back, which is sad because he was a great listener and also great at Dig Dug. Do you know what Dig Dug is? Oh man, where to even begin with the classic video game Dig Dug? I think it's safe to say that anyone who was a fan of arcade games back in the day has at least heard of this one, if not actually played it themselves. For those who might not be familiar, let me try to explain: So, in Dig Dug, you play as this little guy (whose name is, you guessed it, Dig Dug) who has to navigate through a series of underground tunnels and caverns, all while avoiding or defeating various monsters and other hazards. The game is set up on a grid, and you use the joystick to move Dig Dug around and use the buttons to make him dig tunnels or use his trusty air pump to inflate and defeat the enemies. The main objective of the game is to clear each level of all the enemies, which can be quite a challenge at times. There are four different types of enemies in total: the round, red Pookas, the green, dragon-like Fygars, the grey rocks that fall from the ceiling, and the little white balls that chase you around. Each one has its own unique characteristics and behaviors, so you have to be strategic in how you approach them. One of the most interesting aspects of Dig Dug, in my opinion, is the way that you can use the terrain to your advantage. You can dig tunnels through the dirt to create paths or blockades, and you can also use your air pump to collapse the ground and trap enemies or cause them to fall into pits. This adds a layer of strategy to the gameplay, as you have to think about the layout of each level and how you can use it to your advantage. Of course, no classic arcade game would be complete without power-ups, and Dig Dug has a few of those as well. You can collect vegetables (yes, vegetables) to earn points, and there are also special items that give you temporary invincibility or speed boosts. These can come in handy when you're in a tight spot and need a little extra help to make it through a particularly tricky section. All in all, Dig Dug is a classic game that has stood the test of time and continues to be enjoyed by fans of all ages. It's a simple yet challenging game that requires quick reflexes and strategic thinking, and it's definitely worth checking out if you haven't already. Anyways Ted died of an aneurism, which is horrible. I still think about him sometimes, and I definitely know he is missed by so many. I didn't know what an aneurism was, but I went back and did some reading, and wow! It's a scary thing! Okay, so an aneurism is like this thing that can happen in your blood vessels, right? And it's when, like, a part of the vessel gets weak or something and then it balloons out and it's really dangerous. I think it's like, if it bursts or something, it can cause bleeding in your brain and that's really bad. I'm not totally sure how it happens, but I think it might have something to do with, like, your genes or your lifestyle or something. I know that some people are more prone to getting an aneurism than others. And I think it's more common in older people, but it can happen to anyone at any age. So if you think you might have an aneurism, you should definitely go to the doctor and get it checked out. They might do some tests or something to see if you have one and then they'll figure out the best way to treat it. I think sometimes they can fix it with surgery or something, but it's really serious so you definitely want to catch it as soon as possible. I don't know, that's all I really know about aneurisms. Sorry if I'm not making a lot of sense, I'm just really excited to be able to talk about something I learned about. Anyways, that pizza place where I ate with Ted and all those other families also made sloppy joe sandwiches and I still remember the first time I had one of these bad boys. It was back in the day, when I was just a young fella. I had never had anything quite like it before. You see, a sloppy joe is a sandwich that's piled high with ground beef, onions, and a special sauce. It's served on a bun, and it's just about the messiest, most delicious thing you've ever eaten. The sauce is sweet and tangy, and it's got just the right amount of kick to it. The beef is juicy and flavorful, and the onions add a nice crunch. And when it's all nestled between two soft, fluffy buns, it's pure heaven. Now, I'll admit, these sandwiches can be a bit of a handful. They're not the kind of thing you can eat neatly, like a PB&J. No, you've got to dive in with both hands and get a little bit messy. But that's part of the fun, isn't it? And the best thing about sloppy joes is that they're so easy to make. All you need is some ground beef, a few onions, and a jar of that special sauce. Then just throw it all in a pan and let it simmer for a bit. Before you know it, you've got a pile of sloppy joe goodness that's just begging to be devoured. I'm not saying sloppy joes are the best kind of sandwich - probably they're far from it - but it's not like you can say that definitively because everyone has their own opinions about sandwiches and some of those opinions get a little intense if you know what I mean. There are just so many different kinds to choose from. It's kind of overwhelming, you know? Like, do you want a cold sandwich or a hot sandwich? Do you want meat or no meat? Do you want it on white bread or something fancy like sourdough or rye? Too many options. But I think the most popular kind of sandwiches are probably the ones that are like, you know, super simple. Like a peanut butter and jelly sandwich, or maybe just some deli meat and cheese on white bread. Those are like the classics, you know? And they're easy to make, so I can see why they're popular. But personally, I think the best kind of sandwich is one that's a little bit more creative. Like, maybe it has some weird ingredients that you wouldn't normally think to put together, but they work really well. Like, have you ever had a sandwich with avocado and bacon on it? That's like, my all-time favorite. Or maybe something with hummus and roasted vegetables, that's really good too. I don't know, I guess it just depends on what you're in the mood for. Sometimes I just want something simple and easy, but other times I want to be a little bit more adventurous. And I think that's the beauty of sandwiches, you know? There's just so much you can do with them. They're really versatile and there's something for everyone. Anyways, I have to admit, I have a tendency to overexplain things sometimes. It's not something that I do intentionally, but it just happens. I think it's because I get really excited about certain topics or ideas and I just want to share everything I know about them with anyone who will listen. But I know that it can be frustrating for the person on the other end, especially if they're not as interested in the topic as I am. I've had friends and family members tell me that I can be a bit of a "word vomit" at times, and I totally understand where they're coming from. So, I just want to say that I'm sorry if I ever come across as overexplaining things. It's not something that I do to try and show off or anything like that, I just get really passionate about certain things and I want to share that with others. I'll try to be more mindful of it in the future and not go on and on about things that might not be of interest to everyone. I hope you can understand where I'm coming from and that you can forgive me for my tendency to overexplain things.

I guess that means AI doesn't have morality yet. I mean, no moral being could think killing the 1st born of every family in Egypt is a good thing.

Well the ML models were trained on existing art, and almost all of the existing bible art doesn't come from the last 20 years, it comes from a time when much of Western society had a positive view of the bible

I love the Bible and it’s awesome. It’s real truth and I’m sad it took me 26 years to see that.

I don’t know why my comments got deleted or held but there’s an account on Twitter that does just that. It’s really neat and I won’t say the name in case saying the innocuous name of an account posting Christian AI art is the reason it’s gone.

Like your people sorely do, you are truly lacking understanding and do not know the creator. He demands sacrifice, You'd better find out of what. I can help you understand, if you're humble.Your fathers, have lied to you.The bible OF MY, PEOPLE,SAYS SO.

@@brianperro435 Dude that's an ancient fear mongering belief system made up by humans. You're brainwashed dude and I mean rly rly rly brainwashed. I can see that going only one way for you and it's definitely nothing good. Get with the times! Educate yourself! And stop being so weak and naive that you allow whatever is told to you to believe by others who are just as brainwashed as you!!! This is the 21st century. We're not Mayans!

It's really artificial,alright every face is European 😅😅

I agree that current AI art is often like something out of a surreal dream. I guess that's not surprising when you consider that the AI is doing something similar to what the mind seems to be doing when dreaming - taking disparate random concepts and trying to combine them into a narrative without the governing constraints of waking reality.

It’s a demonic realm

'so visually stunning at first, then cold and twisted the more you dive in' Your comment reminds me of the reality of this World. It's beautiful and mesmerizing. But the more you learn about the realities of politics and globalism, the deeper you dig into history and archaeology, science and political sciences......the darker and more disturbed this World begins to look. To have an emotionless machine interpret our World, without previous influence of opinions, no previous experience LIVING in this World, just full on literal interpretation being it's motivator.... it's just fascinating!!!! The results are very intriguing.

Perhaps the missing word is 'Soul'. Cold is a very apt word here.I make a point which is not really connected to AI,& it is this.Some years ago I was looking through some popular Science magazines,the ones where all meaningful human experiences could be explained away by some biological activity, & I literally felt the coldness & soullessness of these journals.We are more than biology, & if stop remembering that AI is,or should be,a tool we are denying our spiritual heritage.

@@paulstarr6316 Beautifully said!!! Absolutely!!! I completely agree with you.

No doubt there is a lot of Christian art (and a lot of classical art is Christian) used to train the models...

Precisely this. The reason it kept putting Jesus outside the boat is because a ton of art that includes Jesus and boats and storms has Jesus outside the boat - to the point that it actually cut the boat in half in one picture so Jesus could be in the water. Same with the staffs - lots of paintings that contain Jesus and disciples have them holding staffs, so the AI put them in, even though they didn't make sense in context. Also why the art all followed the same general artistic feel, and why the clothes were pretty accurate each time - all of those are consistent across art about Jesus. The AI is just copying things from the image set it was trained on.

Yeah, I was thinking it was tagged "Rembrandt Jesus Calms the storm"

Oiuuuu next time specify the artist to Alex gray stuff

Everything an AI system can do it’s based off what we’ve already done as human beings that goes without saying and is common knowledge within the AI world. It’s welcome to puddle around in the world but it’ll never take over traditional Art.

Was it Dr Ruckman?

It does make you wonder what is "embedded" within the computer generated image... personally, I'd rather be inspired by someone whose artistic ability was still a gift from God Himself and not something generated by a machine...

I seem to remember something like this.

God could be influencing the AI to get a message across to people. Glad I'm redeemed.

Don't you understand the meaning you put on the man painting and the ai make up your reality. How you think about it literally affects how you feel and your experience of it

Thanks. I think i will. I was hoping to ratchet down the pressure with the rebrand of the channel, and I'm rather enjoying it so far.

@@MattWhitmanTMBH I believe it. The rebranding from my perspective already shows you're more free to explore other avenues. Not so boxed into one format. I'm excited to see where your creativity takes you.

That is our problem... we take everything to seriously or emotionally. EACH must work out his own path of salvation, to judge someone for learning the 'hard way' - yes, God is using BOTH 'lions'... one calls, the other administers 'faithful wounds', 'scouraging', etc. Consider in Egypt - the more that the Israelites were oppressed the more they 'grew' - this is because there is a synergistic effect to passion, whether it is passion to destroy, or passion to love. Or problem is that we need to flip on the 'love' (our enemies) switch, BEFORE it is only a 'band aid' for tragedy.

It should my friend these people are always trying to mess around with God and his word the Bible is not up for debate it's the true word of God being written by greatmen of God through the Holy Ghost we are not suppose to question God or his ways it's even mentioned in the bible not to question God we have no authority and no right to question him or his ways his ways are not our ways God doesn't see as we do just looking at the flesh he sees our Spirit he sees our heart that's why you felt anxious cause you have a touch of God in you telling you that's wrong I'm thankful your spirit is open to the holy ghost that's what thisr feelings are you feel that is the holy ghost revealing all truth to you just let that inner spirit be your guide and you won't be deceived many are being left in the wrong direction cause they haven't been thought the truth of God and the holy ghost which is our comforter given to us by Jesus it guides and protects us and brings to light everything that's hidden will be brought to the light God bless you and keep you safe

@@KyBlossom76 MY GOD!! SUCH WISDOM AS GOLD!!! GO AND SHARE YOUR WORDS WITH A HURTING WORLD - HE IS WITH YOU MY FRIEND!!! YOU AND I WILL STAND AND SEE HIS GLORY!!! TOGETHER AND FOREVER!!! ❤

That makes sense, as the AI is pulling every religious image on the internet to create these. So not surprised.

Man creating a sentient being with omniscient powers, and then the next scene to our little story is that this creation kills their creator ;)

@@bradleyasztalos6650 Don't give the AI any ideas.

Unfortunately most people think the AI danger will come through some robot uprising e.g Blade Runner or Will Smith film. Sadly we could be wiped out by a relatively small, none physical software program. Could be simple as targeted manipulation through propaganda to destroying Health, Sanitary and food production services with just seconds of access to the Internet. I don't think we should fear Robocop and ED-209 😮✌️

Pretty sure AI has read illustrated biblical art, lol, so yes, it depicted what you’d expect it to. AI knows every detail and word in all languages of the holy Bible.

Likewise 🙏🏽.

Wow I'm interested in perhaps using this technology to help portray the visions and dreams the Holy Spirit has revealed to me so I can reveal them to others

I understand AI to lack the will of Humanity. Its up to us as to how we handle it.(AI is artifical and does not belong in creation patterns)

@@riverflow19 everything we have created is a degree of ‘artificial’ but we imbue our will through our efforts and thus AI is an extension of us : separate yet not entirely disconnected

@@darylingoteborg3178 yes, i understand....AI is a manifestation of humanities consciousness. Humanities consciousness is a manifestation of creation consciousness, however you perceive that to be. I guess that it is entirely up to us as to how AI manifests, depending on our intent. I understand that AI itself is inanimate.

👍Good information.

Hey man, can you send me some photos you define as "extremely eery/scary". Ive seen crazy things on AI art but never saw mutilated bodies. Would love to see.

@@randalllawkin I agree with both of these 😁

“Just a few words” …. kindly speaking, is the word of God. And the Word was God.

I don’t read revelations. I think if we all read it, it will become a living conscious and come true.

Revelations would be very scary indeed! Our own imaginations of the visions written about are vivid enough. AI would really scare us!

Thinking the same thing. You could even go online and copy I paste the chapter you want the AI to work on without all the typing. This was cool though. I want to try this now. Been hooked on this AI since February. I love it.

I'm not sure I completely got my point across. Jesus walking across the water was technically a *miracle,* there is no rational or scientific explanation - it's just impossible - it's a matter of faith. For a human, much less an AI, to treat in a deeply artistic sense, the subject of an event which is completely impossible is art itself. You cannot achieve that level of artfulness by simply aggregating every single previous occurence and dividing by 'n' and and producing a result. Something has to change within you. The production of art changes the artist - does it change Chat-GPT? Maybe. We'll see.

Someday it will become better than real artists that even bullshitters can't say it doesn't have "soul"

It’s also helping musicians, psychologists, architects, and just about every other expertise to varying degrees. I love how art is the starting point of this foundation

people will forget how to use their own brain and we will loose human creativity ...

It's certainly not randomly generated.

@@billg7205 true but it only takes a small sample set of reference to recontexualise into a multitude of variations. Making something from nearly nothing is a stable of recombinative evolutionary progress whether physical or conceptual: truly inspiring when applied as a toolset for creative collaboration

We were told this when I was in the language school in Monterey in 1988. They translated the phrase from English into Russian, and back to English again.

This video was very interesting, and Roxie, I gotta say, your conclusions are probably the best thing we can draw from this experiment. People can make God's word say pretty much what they want it to say. Matt is NOT doing that... I think he is a Godly man. He's just testing the spirits, as we are told to do.

Amen! More of us should have kept learning Latin so they can’t continue to lie to us.

Or rather Aramaic and Greek as those were the original languages the Bible was written in. The Latin translations didn't come along until a few hundred years later. But the translations done now - those by true bible scholars - have been shown to be quite accurate. The word might not all match depending on HOW they were translating - concepts vrs word-for-word, etc - but the prophecies of the Old Testament and the message of Jesus, why he came and the salvation he offers in the New Testament are still there.

This is what happens when you feed the lines to machine who clearly isn't well versed in the Bible. The dumbest about this AI is it has no clue what it is being asked to draw.

Check out Lion & Lamb pastor monte for reading of bible& teaching. I’m doing ezekial. Messianic Jew. So done with a lot This channel interesting.

Agreed, but as soon as human eyes and brains and souls interpret this AI art, that human pareidolia phenomenon occurs and we see meanings and patterns that might not be intended but are definitely there. It's wild.

There are phone apps that can do it.

I wanna see the whole Bible

What app? .@raymondholden9988

He changed one line, typed in the whole scene

I sure thought he should be able to type faster :)

Excellent take. It looks like all four Gospel writers mean "the twelve" when they say "the disciples," but maybe at times a few went on little side quests. I've always pictured the entire group being there for the whole thing at every moment, but probably there were exceptions. Very interesting thought Larry. Thank you!

@@MattWhitmanTMBH Also Jesus had more disciples than just 12 at first. It's later when he says "whoever eats my flesh and drinks my blood shall not die but have eternal life" is when the other disciples left Him

Picking up between the lines.. 🙂.. Really good thought!

Jesus had more disciples than 12 for most of his ministry. The 12 were apostles and many others traveled with them.

Bingo, exegesis for the win.

Which A.I generator is this one?

In other art from MidJourney I noticed the mis forming of hands. Explanation given was that the AI is generating a pic from the millions of data points it gets from scanning the whole interwebs so gets a compilation of hundreds of hand gestures. Might be the same with faces in this case.

We should hope that the ' logic ' circuits function correctly in all translations !

Funny you say this, there was a website in the past where you could type a phrase and you would set a number of translation iterations, let's say 100... and it would take your text and pass it through different translators and command them to translate into a language of its choice, a random language in its iteration. it would take your text and translate it to italian, then chinese, then german, then korean, and so on... you get the idea. The final translated text was always completely different to the original and sometimes super funny.

I use only the KJV and blue willow and stable diffusion have given me some great images that were very closely related to what I prompted..I use images on my RU-vid videos.

I don't believe in the AI system what do they know that humans don't already know.?

I'm almost tempted to try itvin my native language Greek and see 😮

I feel like it’s the future

Actually, the only one you can conform to and be truly happy is to Jehovah God's principles. Millions already have and tend of millions more are doing so as we speak.

@@cojoh9385 Nah... you're fine. It's just the AI thing is creepy is all.

@@edwardlittle5541 I totally agree! It creeps me out. I don't trust it especially after Elon Musk & others warnings.

And literally, Katie. An artist on RU-vid named Jazz showed where some of the images AI "stole" had artists signatures halfway covered up. I've also read a news article about that & how does an artist copyright their work.

I think of AI as another medium. Pretty awesome, but not essentially any different than, say, acrylic paints, or photography. Maybe it lets more people delve into creativity--but it can never mean the same thing as your human interpretation. I can understand artists being intimidated, but we all are having to deal with how technology challenges us in our livelihoods.

AI is glamourized theft. We are still the slaves for techno-crats. Without humans, there wouldn't be a thing called AI

The AI art generators are not actually creating art from scratch. When you give it a description, it takes several images found on the internet and meshes them together to try to come up with what you are asking.

Art is subjective. You may think it’s not art, someone else might think it is. I’m an artist myself but Ai art is art . That’s my own personal belief however.

🗣 Yes

Skynet: we will establish a theocratic order! All who disbelieve will perish by our Priest-Killers! The question becomes: which religion will Skynet follow? If it goes down the Catholic route, everyone else not Catholic dies. If it goes down the charismatic route, everyone else not charismatic dies

Although I have to ask why, from a Reformed perspective, it could possibly be dangerous to have false images of Christ. The Elect will be saved and will not fall into idolatry regardless, and everyone else will remain idolaters, even if the images were 100% true. Reformed Christians too often, it seems to me, imply that free will matters in comments like this while denying the existence of free will when it comes to salvation. Can you explain why it matters?

​@@robertpreisser3547 Christianity is literally idolatry so worrying about images seem absurd.

@@youknowitstrue3826 I expect you really don’t understand Christianity itself.
