Papers Session: History of the Present, the Futures of Christianity's Past
Abstract for Online Program Book (maximum 150 words)
In addition to the many and varied critiques of AI, history, and theological writing, one additional concern will be considered in this paper: AI is quite bad at theology and in particular historical theology. Driven by its own and secret means of building symbolic structures and exacerbated by a base training of freely available sources, the result is an idiosyncratic system with little regard for the meaning, relationships, and symbols of Christian history. In a fascinating way it both mimics the Cappadocian critiques of Eunomianism and, at times, even replicates its precise failings.
