Ep. 198: Why Big Tech Refuses to be the ‘Moral Police of the World’?

This week, Kelly responds to OpenAI’s decision to allow ChatGPT to create “erotic” content and Sam Altman’s defense to pushback against this decision, saying, “We are not the elected moral police of the world.”

Kelly covers the Moral Argument for God and why God’s moral law is objective and universal. This decision is indicative of the future of AI. Sam Altman’s response is indicative of their moral relativistic worldview.  All of which matters to parents, even if you aren’t using AI chatbots in your home. Knowing how Big Tech rebels against God’s moral law (and the collateral damage that causes), along with how deeply they want our children’s attention and affection, REQUIRES a fresh evaluation of our parenting and online access. Parental controls mean nothing to these companies. Our best defense is knowing God’s word.
