I recently come across a book that can be freely download from the Web, titled “Travels with Calvin and Arminius” (click here). It was recommended to me in a Brethren Archivist and Historian Network (BAHN) email (I am a member of BAHN, a setup in which we can share our interests in the (Plymouth) Brethren movement).

Biased BBC Reporting, Donald Trump, and attacks on Christians in Nigeria
Please bear with me for addressing three subjects that interest me in the same post, recognising that folk who are not in my shoes (i.e. everyone) may see these as being unrelated. But as someone who is committed to blogging about things that matter, as I join the dots and continue to watch on my wall what is happening around me, and trying to make best use of time, that’s what I am about to do.

Some months ago, I started writing what now follows but decided best not to continue, until now. About the two personalities being referred to, I had little problem. But concerning a subject they both considered important, I did, and it seemed somewhat hypocritical of me to attempt to write about a subject that I had too little experience of, and so I decided that I’d wait until such time that I had.

Just over three months ago, I produced my “AI, Chat GPT and the Beast System” (see here), blog. In it I reflected on my own recent discovery and use of Artificial Intelligence. With the recent UK government announcement of its plans to introduce and even mandate Digital IDs, I have this down as a “concerning” subject to return to. But in this blog, I want to reflect on my experience using Meta AI, in association with my use of Facebook and WhatsApp and my endeavours as a blogger, and consider the future of AI.

The two main sports which I have taken an interest in and played, albeit at modest levels, from my childhood onwards, were Football (typically played in the English Winter) and Cricket (typically played in the Summer) although these days, especially given international interest and an abundance of coverage, played all the year round.

In preparing this blog, I asked MetaAI the following question: “What is a Watchman on the Wall? Where is this spoken about in the Bible? Who are today’s watchman? Are Christian believers call to be watchmen? What does this entail?”
