Why Were You Made? (John Piper)

John Piper:

I asked chat GPT. I typed in, please compose a thirty second prayer to God in the spirit and theology of Don Carson in praise to the glory of God's grace. Click. Three seconds later, this is what I was given. Gracious father, we bow before you, the sovereign lord of history and redemption. From eternity past, you purposed to lavish grace upon undeserving sinners through the blood of your beloved son. We praise you for the glory of your mercy, unearned, unmeasured, made manifest in Christ crucified and risen. May our lives, redeemed and sanctified by your spirit be vessels of praise to the riches of your grace. To you be glory forever and ever. Amen. That's a machine. Because I'm I'm asking, is that praise? No. These people, these machines honor me with their lips and their bites, and their heart is far from me. So let's clarify the purpose of the universe quick. I'm done. I got nineteen seconds. Let let's clarify. Why were you made? Words? Computers do words better than you. Seriously, better than me. Computers do words. They don't feel anything. Therefore, the universe is created to have people who feel. This is amazing. Think of it. The universe exists to have people in God's image who feel the worth of grace, who feel the glory of grace, who feel the beauty of grace, who feel the wonder of grace. And then everything in their life takes on a totally non AI meaning of action and praise to God.
