See this is what I did on a previous sermon: I didn't use it verbatim, just to jog my thoughts and where to start on a thought. I still had to build the sermon, regardless, but it got me started. I received positive responses from the congregation, including my pastor which I shared later that I use GPT to develop points. In other words, it's a tool. People complained that ministers used Logos (when it first came out) used as a crutch, but now it's a thousand dollar program people use all the time.

Like you said, it's a tool. As an artist and someone who is married to a programmer - it's not bad when a tool makes your job easier. Just be sure you're still doing your job well. A pastor is more than a preacher. He's a leader... That can take on many hats in a church. Even if a sermon is copy and pasted I wouldn't mind only *IF* the pastor has thoroughly studied it and is sure it aligns with the Bible and he has studied it himself. If the tool is used to become lazy at your job, then that's not good. Just my two cents. With any tech nowadays you really need to be sure it's giving you legit and untailored information, though. I know chat gpt will censor and has bias in it even if the creators claim otherwise. Use with caution.

Hmmm… I think your take on it is balanced and well presented. For a one off like a Father’s Day, i can DEFINITELY see using it like you did. I will for sure be saving this video to send to people who clutch pearls on using chatGPT to write a sermon. Though anyone straight c&p-ing from it are suspect in my book.
