AI does not bear the image of God. Mostly you do that during the middle of it. Thank you, my brother. AI does not bear the image of God. Technology does not carry spirit. So that's something that we have to get into, no matter the conversation. Again, I mentioned that, yes, this may be a tool for the mark of the beast and so forth, but still at the very root of it, the very essence of it, AI does not bury the image of God. Technology does not carry spirit. Psalm 8 says, we are crowned with glory and honor. Then we also went and we demystify AI. We talked about its pattern recognition, its probability, its prediction. It calculates. It does not discern. Hebrews 11.3 showed us that what is seen comes from the unseen realm. That is very, very important because it gets back to understanding who creates where things that we see today exist. And we'll get into this in a future topic. The unlimited, how should I say it? The unlimited resources that we don't see in the spiritual realm. And it's our job as redeemed kingdom citizens to begin to make those things that are in the unseen, seen for the benefit and for the advancement of God's kingdom. So technology begins in the human heart. So we are our humans, we create. We pull things from the unseen to the seen. This is for the redeemed and the unredeemed. This is a technology that's given to humanity to bring technologies in the spirit realm to the natural realm, right? So it's for the redeemed and the unredeemed, okay? That's very important to understand. Bringing technology from the spiritual realm to the natural realm is for the redeemed and the unredeemed, okay? And Jesus said in Mark 7 that what flows outward comes from within. So what's in your heart will manifest in what you produce.
Technology is neutral, the heart is not. We talked about the atom bomb and how splitting other atoms could have been the greatest technological advancement for humanity, yet and still, we see that it was used for the greatest destruction that humanity has ever seen. All right, so help, session one helped us understand the tool, and now we're going to begin to ask, how do we train our hearts in a world shaped by these tools? And the reason why this is important, because technology is advancing so fast. People don't really have a good handle of it. There was even some accords that were signed by the leaders of the different technology companies that said, we need to kind of slow down because even if AI is advancing, technology is advancing past even what we think, past our human capability, which is why they need believers who can think with the mind of God, which surpasses all of our humanly thinking. This is why we definitely need to be in this kingdom, in this realm, in this mountain, helping with the advancement of technology. So I have a video that I'm going to show just real quick, and this is a participation item. And the title of the video is Can You Spot the Fake? So it's going to have AI videos versus real live challenge videos, and I want you to be able to respond. And let me see, how do I share my screen? Because I don't see it.
Mario, I don't see the share. Can I share my screen?

**Mario** (4:07)
You should be able to. I meet your co-host. It's the little green button at the bottom that says share.

**Brandon** (4:12)
Oh, share screen. Ha. In my face. Ha.

**SPEAKER_3** (4:14)
Ha.

**Nico** (4:15)
Ha.

**SPEAKER_3** (4:16)
Father in the name of Jesus.

**Brandon** (4:24)
All right. Hey, at least stop laughing.
Oh, I don't want to do that. And Nate, stop laughing. Can y'all see my screen? OK, it says you can.

**Mario** (4:43)
Yes, we can see it.

**Brandon** (4:45)
All right, cool.

**Mario** (4:51)
Okay, so stop it. So when you go back to share your screen, make sure you click on share sound. So stop sharing, let's just start over.
So when you click on share, there's a little checkbox to the right.

**SPEAKER_3** (5:08)
There you go.

**SPEAKER_5** (5:12)
Get ready to have some fun. We're going to play a game of Spot the Difference but with a twist, where we compare AI generated video to video shot by real people. Grab a pen, keep score, let us know how you do in the comment section below.
First video, Amalfi Coast. Which one's real? Which one's AI? We've got a drone view rotating around a church.

**Brandon** (6:19)
Can y'all hear me?
