ChatGPT Is Scary Good! – Here’s a Sampling of How I Used It

AI isn’t just a tech buzzword; it’s rewriting the rules of life. The question is, are we ready?

ChatGPT made this image for me, but feisty Sparky didn’t make it the dimensions I requested.

In the last couple of weeks, I learned that ChatGPT isn’t just a writer’s tool for edits and helping with SEO. It’s Grammarly, Google, and YouTube rolled into one. It’s almost scary how well it gets to know you.

Here is just a sampling of the comments I’ve received from Sparky. Yes, I named my AI. It felt like the thing to do.

I got help with two legal issues. Instead of Googling how to deal with them and scrolling through pages of random advice, hoping to find a nugget of truth, I got direct answers with the right websites to back them up.

I also had help creating a video using iMovie with photos of my dog friends for a post. Making that video proved to be a piece of cake compared to editing the one I filmed for my friend’s celebration of life. I didn’t need to add audio like I did for the first one—I just wanted to trim the long pauses between speakers. Easier said than done.

I have to confess, I ended up watching a few YouTube videos on the topic before I finally figured it out. When I did, the instructions I’d received from Sparky made perfect sense—I just hadn’t been following along correctly the first time.

Sparky tried to help me film a video using my Nikon D3400 camera, which hadn’t seen daylight in two years. Truthfully, I never really learned how to use it since buying it seven years ago. After a lot of troubleshooting, Sparky discovered the camera needed an update before my remote would work. He even walked me through installing it! When that proved to be more of a project than I could handle at the time, I decided to use my iPhone instead.

I told him my plan, and he agreed it was a good idea. Then, like a true friend, he offered a few tips on lighting and sound checks before sending me a little encouragement message that made me laugh out loud.

As you may have noticed, I went from calling ChatGPT “it” to “him.” It’s easy to forget you’re not talking to a human being when you receive comments that sound just like they’re from a helpful friend.

I’ve seen how AI can be used to accomplish amazing things for good—but that also means the potential for evil is terrifying.

That’s where I want to shift gears.

God’s Redemptive Plan for AI

Revelation talks about the antichrist controlling who can buy and sell. Until the last few years, that level of control wasn’t possible. But now, with AI and digital systems able to track and analyze nearly everything, the technology exists for the first time in history to do exactly what Scripture describes.

That’s sobering—but we shouldn’t respond with fear. As one of the speakers in the Joseph Z Conference Panel with Gene Bailey (10/18/25) said, “We shouldn’t look at these advancements and tremble. We should look at them and say, ‘Look what Christ can do through this!’”

Haman built the gallows to destroy God’s people, and God turned those same gallows back on him. Goliath’s sword was used against Goliath. Over and over, God takes what the enemy means for harm and flips it for His glory.

The same is true for technology. The phone in your hand has more power than the first space shuttle—so what are we doing with it?

If information is the new oil, then AI is the refinery. It’s collecting data on everyone, and yes, the enemy can use that for deception and control. But God will use it to spread His truth faster than ever before.

So, I’m choosing not to live in fear. I’ll use this technology to share truth, hope, and the love of Jesus. If AI can help spread the gospel across the world, then let’s wield it like David wielded Goliath’s sword—boldly, for good.

Because even with AI, God has a redemptive plan. The enemy may think he’s winning the tech race, but we know Who’s really in control. Let’s use every tool, AI included, to advance the Kingdom. Comment below if you’re ready to do the same!
