In this week’s SojoMail, Heather Brady writes that she noticed something alarming when she took her questions about the Bible to Google’s AI Overview:
I was researching an article I was writing for Sojourners recently when I noticed something odd: The AI Overview answer that was being generated kept shifting, even though my search query did not. This raised alarm bells in my mind. In this particular instance, I was using Google’s search engine to get a sense of what had already been written about the topic I was exploring: gender in the Bible. And it seemed AI Overview was changing its summary based on what it thought I wanted to read. In other words, two Google users could type the exact same question and get two different answers. We’re not necessarily getting the best information; we’re getting exposed to the answers and information that AI thinks we want to receive. The experience made me begin to wonder: What impact will these new, more prevalent AI-generated search results have on people seeking sound theological information? |
