In a study of 1,016 job categories, only 36 were shown to be largely unaffected by the rise of Artificial Intelligence (AI). These included ‘jobs’ like athlete and dancer. What about evangelists and apologists?

You can ask ChatGPT to “prepare a talk on Why God Allows Suffering” or “present a case for the reliability of the Bible” and, at the click of a button, get some pretty good suggestions. Artificial apologetics has arrived.

Extend it a little further, or add a few further prompts, and you get impressive results: ‘Prepare a set of 12 Bible Study questions on why God allows suffering from the NIV in line with an evangelical statement of faith suitable for a group of non-Christians who are interested in church but are not yet familiar with the Bible.” If you have not tried this kind of thing with ChatGPT then do so, and you may be surprised.
