Paul.
I use artificial intelligence regularly, and I am continually surprised by what it can do. I can ask it about an obscure Bible passage, explore different interpretations, argue with its answer, change my mind halfway through and then return to the conversation several hours later as though nothing happened.
Thankfully, it is remarkably patient.
More importantly, it asks almost nothing from me. I decide when the conversation begins, what we talk about and when I have had enough. If I disagree, it does not take offence, and if I disappear without saying goodbye, there is no awkwardness the next time I return, even if it does feel kind of rude to me.
Perhaps that is why I have started wondering what it reveals about some of my other relationships.
