After covering a little too much darkness in the world, journalist Jessica Reed Kraus of House Inhabit has opened her Bible and started on a spiritual journey.And BlazeTV host Allie Beth Stuckey is not only thrilled to hear it but well-aware that encountering darkness can often lead someone to the light.“I hear from a lot of people who previously, they didn’t believe, or maybe they were just agnostic, and they didn’t know that it was actually seeing evil, in whatever context, some people it’s Hollywood, for some people it’s politics, for some people it’s in their own life, that kind of turns the light on,” Stuckey tells Kraus on “Relatable.”“And they’re like, ‘Oh, if there’s objective evil and darkness, then there must be objective goodness and light too,’” she adds.“Absolutely,” Kraus agrees. “That’s sort of an underlying theme now, is good and evil and darkness and light and what you’re giving your energy to.”Some of the darkness she had seen prior to beginning her spiritual journey is attributed to covering celebrities like Britney Spears, whose fall from grace has served as entertainment for the masses — and one she could no longer cover after a certain point.“When it weighs me in a negative and sort of a dark way, I will usually kind of back away,” she says.However, Kraus didn’t always feel drawn to the Bible, as growing up around liberals, the topic of God was “shunned.”“You just kind of instinctively know not to bring up God and religion,” she explains, noting that when she was working on the campaign trail with the Trump team and the Kennedy team, it couldn’t have been more different, and people were very open with prayer and faith.“It felt like it was a really cool thing to witness,” she adds.Want more from Allie Beth Stuckey?To enjoy more of Allie’s upbeat and in-depth coverage of culture, news, and theology from a Christian, conservative perspective, subscribe to BlazeTV — the largest multi-platform network of voices who love America, defend the Constitution, and live the American dream.

As I started using ChatGPT more often, I noticed that when I ask the AI too many questions, it starts giving me the same feeling I get after doomscrolling TikTok for 15 minutes (which I haven’t done in almost a year now). I've been debating with myself about why I feel this way, but a new paper might have the answer: ChatGPT is making us all dumber. According to a study by the University of Pennsylvania’s Wharton School involving over 4,500 participants (via Gizmodo), people who use ChatGPT and other LLMs don’t learn the same way because it requires less effort. One of the key findings suggests that “Participants who used ChatGPT spent less time on the search task than those using Google search (...) suggesting that acquiring information through an LLM involved less effort.” In the study, users had to use Google or ChatGPT to research a topic and write advice. Those who used standard web search actively discovered and synthesized information themselves. Those who used ChatGPT felt "less invested in forming their advice, and, more importantly, created advice that is sparser and less original." Image source: Wharton School at the University of Pennsylvania This happens because web search forces users to click through and compare multiple sources, then synthesize the information themselves. LLMs, on the other hand, usually offer fewer and more generic facts. That said, ChatGPT and other LLMs offer a more convenient search experience, but the depth of knowledge and critical thinking that proper research provides just isn't there. This makes AI a potential issue for areas like education and creative tasks. My take Since the AI boom is still pretty recent, we're all learning how to navigate this new chatbot world. Right now, LLMs can hallucinate, and some researchers even believe these models can’t reason. They can be great tools for certain tasks, but depending on where you are in life, it might be better to build skills the old-fashioned way. For example, I’ve been studying Italian for a couple of years at an in-person school. At this point, I feel confident using ChatGPT to help me study the grammar I already know. While LLMs are fine for that, I’ve seen them repeatedly correct grammar exercises incorrectly. If you’re just starting to learn the basics of math, a new language, or even history, I’d definitely recommend good old Google Books and proper educators. Also, just because you can use ChatGPT doesn’t mean you’re making the most of it. If you don’t know how to ask the right questions, it won’t give you the right answers.
