The author and pastor John Piper read and asked the audience to consider a very skillfully crafted prayer written by artificial intelligence during the sermon at this week’s conference. Is it a true Bible praise?
God’s founder, who wanted God, made a comment while talking to the Gospel Union. TGC25 He preached a meeting in Indianapolis Ephesians 1.

Before asking the question, “We exist, we exist, we exist, we exist, and we exist, and we exist all the time.”
“That’s not just words,” he said. Matthew 15:8-9“These people praise me with their lips, but their hearts are far from me. Do they worship me?”
In a laugh, Piper said he asked Chat Grit to make a prayer.
“I will: “Praise God’s glory for the glory of God’s grace and make a 30-second prayer to God in the spirit and theology of Don Carson.”
A few seconds later, Piper said the website had returned this prayer. “We were the Lord of History and Red-Emperor Sovereignty before you. From the eternal past, you aim to lavish and grace unwanted sinners through the blood of your beloved son. By your spirit, praise the richness of your grace to you.
When Piper concluded that he would read the prayer, the “Amens” chorus rippled over the congregation.
“It’s a machine,” he laughed.
Piper then asked, “Is that admiration?”
“No!” he concluded, praise must come from heart.
“Let’s clarify the purpose of the universe. …Let’s clarify. Why were you made? Computers do words more than you – seriously, better than me. [But] They don’t feel anything. Therefore, the universe is created to give birth to those who feel. This is great. Think about it: the universe feels the value of grace, feels the glory of grace, feels the beauty of grace, feels the wonder of grace, then everything in life takes on the entirely non-ai meaning of praise to God. ”
Finally, Piper offered an idyllic charge.
“If your heart doesn’t sing, [if it] You do not feel the beauty of God’s freedom in salvation – you will not rest until your part is your part,” he said.
