- I want to know what you think! Is it good? Is it crap? Is it sacrilege? Does the AI (from www.fotor.com/features/ai-ima...) demonstrate an understanding of the theological themes of the passage?
I'm getting ahead of myself here. Artificial intelligence art generation is a controversial topic and it should be. I've been toying with it for the last several days and I'm both intrigued and disturbed by what I'm seeing. That said, I set out to generate art depicting the story of Jesus calming the storm in Matthew 8, and that's just what I did. For better or worse, here's the process I went through (in almost real time, though I did trim about a minute of dead space while waiting on the AI to render), and the final product.

Pls stop over explaining😕
My bad SoulHeights. I feel like such an idiot, but the truth is, I do overexplain sometimes, and it's clearly something I need to work on, and I've actually been told that since I was a little kid. I think the overexplaining problem probably started when I was about three. My mom used to give me these books with lots of bright colors and sounds, and then after I looked at them for a while she'd always ask me to describe to her what I'd seen in the book, and then she'd praise me more if my explanation was more detailed and maybe a little bit less if my description was a little more vague (even though she was always super supportive, and an attentive loving mom even to this day; she and my dad are still alive and doing well, and they even offer me great feedback and suggestions on my videos and podcasts that I do on the internet, so I'm not saying she did anything wrong here). Now look, she was probably just trying to nurture my communication skills and improve my ability to interact with adults and with the written word, but that kind of thing sticks with a kid, and I pretty soon I found myself carefully explaining things to my coaches, my teachers, classmates, people at church, teammates, cashiers, this one guy named Ted who my parents were friends with, but I'm not quite sure what he did for a living or even where they met him. But I can tell you this, Ted was a cool guy, and he would always ask the best follow up questions. I think one time Ted was with us at some kind of family pizza party at this little privately-owned pizza joint and arcade, and he let me explain the plot of all the video games in the arcade to him for hours. That was a great day, and I think I became a way better explainer after that. I heard Ted died a while back, which is sad because he was a great listener and also great at Dig Dug. Do you know what Dig Dug is? Oh man, where to even begin with the classic video game Dig Dug? I think it's safe to say that anyone who was a fan of arcade games back in the day has at least heard of this one, if not actually played it themselves. For those who might not be familiar, let me try to explain: So, in Dig Dug, you play as this little guy (whose name is, you guessed it, Dig Dug) who has to navigate through a series of underground tunnels and caverns, all while avoiding or defeating various monsters and other hazards. The game is set up on a grid, and you use the joystick to move Dig Dug around and use the buttons to make him dig tunnels or use his trusty air pump to inflate and defeat the enemies. The main objective of the game is to clear each level of all the enemies, which can be quite a challenge at times. There are four different types of enemies in total: the round, red Pookas, the green, dragon-like Fygars, the grey rocks that fall from the ceiling, and the little white balls that chase you around. Each one has its own unique characteristics and behaviors, so you have to be strategic in how you approach them. One of the most interesting aspects of Dig Dug, in my opinion, is the way that you can use the terrain to your advantage. You can dig tunnels through the dirt to create paths or blockades, and you can also use your air pump to collapse the ground and trap enemies or cause them to fall into pits. This adds a layer of strategy to the gameplay, as you have to think about the layout of each level and how you can use it to your advantage. Of course, no classic arcade game would be complete without power-ups, and Dig Dug has a few of those as well. You can collect vegetables (yes, vegetables) to earn points, and there are also special items that give you temporary invincibility or speed boosts. These can come in handy when you're in a tight spot and need a little extra help to make it through a particularly tricky section. All in all, Dig Dug is a classic game that has stood the test of time and continues to be enjoyed by fans of all ages. It's a simple yet challenging game that requires quick reflexes and strategic thinking, and it's definitely worth checking out if you haven't already. Anyways Ted died of an aneurism, which is horrible. I still think about him sometimes, and I definitely know he is missed by so many. I didn't know what an aneurism was, but I went back and did some reading, and wow! It's a scary thing! Okay, so an aneurism is like this thing that can happen in your blood vessels, right? And it's when, like, a part of the vessel gets weak or something and then it balloons out and it's really dangerous. I think it's like, if it bursts or something, it can cause bleeding in your brain and that's really bad. I'm not totally sure how it happens, but I think it might have something to do with, like, your genes or your lifestyle or something. I know that some people are more prone to getting an aneurism than others. And I think it's more common in older people, but it can happen to anyone at any age. So if you think you might have an aneurism, you should definitely go to the doctor and get it checked out. They might do some tests or something to see if you have one and then they'll figure out the best way to treat it. I think sometimes they can fix it with surgery or something, but it's really serious so you definitely want to catch it as soon as possible. I don't know, that's all I really know about aneurisms. Sorry if I'm not making a lot of sense, I'm just really excited to be able to talk about something I learned about. Anyways, that pizza place where I ate with Ted and all those other families also made sloppy joe sandwiches and I still remember the first time I had one of these bad boys. It was back in the day, when I was just a young fella. I had never had anything quite like it before. You see, a sloppy joe is a sandwich that's piled high with ground beef, onions, and a special sauce. It's served on a bun, and it's just about the messiest, most delicious thing you've ever eaten. The sauce is sweet and tangy, and it's got just the right amount of kick to it. The beef is juicy and flavorful, and the onions add a nice crunch. And when it's all nestled between two soft, fluffy buns, it's pure heaven. Now, I'll admit, these sandwiches can be a bit of a handful. They're not the kind of thing you can eat neatly, like a PB&J. No, you've got to dive in with both hands and get a little bit messy. But that's part of the fun, isn't it? And the best thing about sloppy joes is that they're so easy to make. All you need is some ground beef, a few onions, and a jar of that special sauce. Then just throw it all in a pan and let it simmer for a bit. Before you know it, you've got a pile of sloppy joe goodness that's just begging to be devoured. I'm not saying sloppy joes are the best kind of sandwich - probably they're far from it - but it's not like you can say that definitively because everyone has their own opinions about sandwiches and some of those opinions get a little intense if you know what I mean. There are just so many different kinds to choose from. It's kind of overwhelming, you know? Like, do you want a cold sandwich or a hot sandwich? Do you want meat or no meat? Do you want it on white bread or something fancy like sourdough or rye? Too many options. But I think the most popular kind of sandwiches are probably the ones that are like, you know, super simple. Like a peanut butter and jelly sandwich, or maybe just some deli meat and cheese on white bread. Those are like the classics, you know? And they're easy to make, so I can see why they're popular. But personally, I think the best kind of sandwich is one that's a little bit more creative. Like, maybe it has some weird ingredients that you wouldn't normally think to put together, but they work really well. Like, have you ever had a sandwich with avocado and bacon on it? That's like, my all-time favorite. Or maybe something with hummus and roasted vegetables, that's really good too. I don't know, I guess it just depends on what you're in the mood for. Sometimes I just want something simple and easy, but other times I want to be a little bit more adventurous. And I think that's the beauty of sandwiches, you know? There's just so much you can do with them. They're really versatile and there's something for everyone. Anyways, I have to admit, I have a tendency to overexplain things sometimes. It's not something that I do intentionally, but it just happens. I think it's because I get really excited about certain topics or ideas and I just want to share everything I know about them with anyone who will listen. But I know that it can be frustrating for the person on the other end, especially if they're not as interested in the topic as I am. I've had friends and family members tell me that I can be a bit of a "word vomit" at times, and I totally understand where they're coming from. So, I just want to say that I'm sorry if I ever come across as overexplaining things. It's not something that I do to try and show off or anything like that, I just get really passionate about certain things and I want to share that with others. I'll try to be more mindful of it in the future and not go on and on about things that might not be of interest to everyone. I hope you can understand where I'm coming from and that you can forgive me for my tendency to overexplain things.
@@MattWhitmanTMBH your comment.. hahahaha again, over explaining.. lol made me laugh. I enjoyed watching
@@MattWhitmanTMBH hahaha people are so dumb lmao you made me laugh 😂😂
@@MattWhitmanTMBH this made my day.
@@ines-simpson Thanks Lydia!
All AI art has an intensely disturbing quality to it. It's difficult to describe, but it reminds me of some dreams I've had since I was a child...there is an vague (again I will use the word) "quality" to it that is intense, that skews perspective, conflates time and space...so, visually stunning at first, then cold and twisted the more you dive in. Very troubling.
I agree that current AI art is often like something out of a surreal dream.
I guess that's not surprising when you consider that the AI is doing something similar to what the mind seems to be doing when dreaming - taking disparate random concepts and trying to combine them into a narrative without the governing constraints of waking reality.
It’s a demonic realm
'so visually stunning at first, then cold and twisted the more you dive in'
Your comment reminds me of the reality of this World. It's beautiful and mesmerizing. But the more you learn about the realities of politics and globalism, the deeper you dig into history and archaeology, science and political sciences......the darker and more disturbed this World begins to look. To have an emotionless machine interpret our World, without previous influence of opinions, no previous experience LIVING in this World, just full on literal interpretation being it's motivator.... it's just fascinating!!!! The results are very intriguing.
Perhaps the missing word is 'Soul'. Cold is a very apt word here.I make a point which is not really connected to AI,& it is this.Some years ago I was looking through some popular Science magazines,the ones where all meaningful human experiences could be explained away by some biological activity, & I literally felt the coldness & soullessness of these journals.We are more than biology, & if stop remembering that AI is,or should be,a tool we are denying our spiritual heritage.
@@paulstarr6316 Beautifully said!!! Absolutely!!! I completely agree with you.
By the looks of it, AI generated art has a more positive view of the bible than most Americans at this point.
True, good one 😂
I guess that means AI doesn't have morality yet. I mean, no moral being could think killing the 1st born of every family in Egypt is a good thing.
Well the ML models were trained on existing art, and almost all of the existing bible art doesn't come from the last 20 years, it comes from a time when much of Western society had a positive view of the bible
I love the Bible and it’s awesome. It’s real truth and I’m sad it took me 26 years to see that.
@@Servant_of_Yeshua96 "A fool needs to be told two thousand times, a wise man only needs to be told a thousand times."
this was our lesson from Sunday school last Sunday. 😅 it is one of my favorites stories about Jesus. The biggest takeaway I get from this story is do not have fear or doubt . God has you in his arms no matter how dark or stormy your life becomes. Keep your eye on him and you will never falter. God bless and keep you .
GO MATT I LOVE YOUR STORY ABOUT LOVING YOUR MOM
MY SON LOVES ME❤ TOO❤❤❤
Beautiful ❤
Like your people sorely do, you are truly lacking understanding and do not know the creator. He demands sacrifice, You'd better find out of what. I can help you understand, if you're humble.Your fathers, have lied to you.The bible OF MY, PEOPLE,SAYS SO.
@@brianperro435 Dude that's an ancient fear mongering belief system made up by humans. You're brainwashed dude and I mean rly rly rly brainwashed. I can see that going only one way for you and it's definitely nothing good. Get with the times! Educate yourself! And stop being so weak and naive that you allow whatever is told to you to believe by others who are just as brainwashed as you!!! This is the 21st century. We're not Mayans!
It's really artificial,alright every face is European 😅😅
You telling the story with the pictures was excellent! Amazing, and gorgeous pictures. 🎉🎉🎉
Would love to see the Book of Revelation done. I bet that would be amazing
it's Revelation... only one. :) Grace and Peace to you
That would be amazing! And Ezekiel
Would be magnificent. Also would love to see the Creation and the ten plagues
Jonah could be good too
I don’t know why my comments got deleted or held but there’s an account on Twitter that does just that. It’s really neat and I won’t say the name in case saying the innocuous name of an account posting Christian AI art is the reason it’s gone.
From my understanding on how these things work, it's basically sampling/learning from existing images based off some sort of tagging system. So it seems that most religious art matching key words in your prompt that the program uses happens to lean heavily into the sailing/boats symbolism of Christianity. It also seems to focus on the artistic motifs without understanding the context, meaning it invokes genre specific feelings unintentionally and sometimes only manages to get it in the ballpark.
All that being said I think you'd get some interesting results if you specified certain artists or genres in the prompt. Just giving it Scripture on its own I think is just signaling it to pull from generic mainstream Christian themed art.
No doubt there is a lot of Christian art (and a lot of classical art is Christian) used to train the models...
Precisely this. The reason it kept putting Jesus outside the boat is because a ton of art that includes Jesus and boats and storms has Jesus outside the boat - to the point that it actually cut the boat in half in one picture so Jesus could be in the water. Same with the staffs - lots of paintings that contain Jesus and disciples have them holding staffs, so the AI put them in, even though they didn't make sense in context. Also why the art all followed the same general artistic feel, and why the clothes were pretty accurate each time - all of those are consistent across art about Jesus. The AI is just copying things from the image set it was trained on.
Yeah, I was thinking it was tagged "Rembrandt Jesus Calms the storm"
Oiuuuu next time specify the artist to Alex gray stuff
Everything an AI system can do it’s based off what we’ve already done as human beings that goes without saying and is common knowledge within the AI world. It’s welcome to puddle around in the world but it’ll never take over traditional Art.
I just finished watching your video in its entirety. I must say it turned out beautiful and your editing with the sound effects and music just brought it to life. So beautiful and peaceful. Shalom & Thank you
So good I’d like a whole series of videos of you doing this
I would love to see Ezekiel's visit from the flying machine. And the description of the two creatures in Job.
A man in my former church use to do large chalk drawings while he when through a passage in the Bible. They always turned out beautiful. The difference in the experience for me was, I understood this man to be a redeemed follower of Jesus and he was doing it out of obedience and love and inspiration from the Holy Spirit. Watching and waiting to see what the AI would draw actually gave me a slight sense of anxiety.
Was it Dr Ruckman?
It does make you wonder what is "embedded" within the computer generated image... personally, I'd rather be inspired by someone whose artistic ability was still a gift from God Himself and not something generated by a machine...
I seem to remember something like this.
God could be influencing the AI to get a message across to people. Glad I'm redeemed.
Don't you understand the meaning you put on the man painting and the ai make up your reality. How you think about it literally affects how you feel and your experience of it
Matt, I actually was surprised enjoyed the AI interpretation of the text... along with your sound effects.... VERY NICE
I LOVED IT! I can't wait to see more! Maybe you can do one of Mother Mary. I want to see what the art generator creates of her image.
Do stuff like this more. I dont know what that means exactly, but this different/more casual side of you was fun as well as your other material.
Thanks. I think i will. I was hoping to ratchet down the pressure with the rebrand of the channel, and I'm rather enjoying it so far.
@@MattWhitmanTMBH I believe it. The rebranding from my perspective already shows you're more free to explore other avenues. Not so boxed into one format. I'm excited to see where your creativity takes you.
That is our problem... we take everything to seriously or emotionally. EACH must work out his own path of salvation, to judge someone for learning the 'hard way' - yes, God is using BOTH 'lions'... one calls, the other administers 'faithful wounds', 'scouraging', etc.
Consider in Egypt - the more that the Israelites were oppressed the more they 'grew' - this is because there is a synergistic effect to passion, whether it is passion to destroy, or passion to love. Or problem is that we need to flip on the 'love' (our enemies) switch, BEFORE it is only a 'band aid' for tragedy.
It should my friend these people are always trying to mess around with God and his word the Bible is not up for debate it's the true word of God being written by greatmen of God through the Holy Ghost we are not suppose to question God or his ways it's even mentioned in the bible not to question God we have no authority and no right to question him or his ways his ways are not our ways God doesn't see as we do just looking at the flesh he sees our Spirit he sees our heart that's why you felt anxious cause you have a touch of God in you telling you that's wrong I'm thankful your spirit is open to the holy ghost that's what thisr feelings are you feel that is the holy ghost revealing all truth to you just let that inner spirit be your guide and you won't be deceived many are being left in the wrong direction cause they haven't been thought the truth of God and the holy ghost which is our comforter given to us by Jesus it guides and protects us and brings to light everything that's hidden will be brought to the light God bless you and keep you safe

Wow. Thirty minutes ago I didn't even know a.i. art generators were a thing. But then, a your videos show me a lot of things I never imagined existed.
Very nicely done. My experience with AI art generators is they need an explicit explanation of the picture you want, it can’t infer from some of the text you gave what was expected. Rather than the verse, describe in detail the scene the verse is describing. That will usually give you a more appropriate image. Still it did a pretty good job even with the lack of context. You were on the right track changing “He” to “Jesus”. When you say “the sea” change it to “the Sea of Galilee” etc. Loved the video.
The art is moving when displayed with music at the end. Thanks for sharing.
As an artist, AI is powerful and dangerous. Like any tool, it is both incredibly creative and intuitive but also destructive and chaotic.. it truly is a wild time to be here, in this form, during it all. Bless all. 🙏 love and light
Likewise 🙏🏽.
Wow I'm interested in perhaps using this technology to help portray the visions and dreams the Holy Spirit has revealed to me so I can reveal them to others
I understand AI to lack the will of Humanity. Its up to us as to how we handle it.(AI is artifical and does not belong in creation patterns)
@@riverflow19 everything we have created is a degree of ‘artificial’ but we imbue our will through our efforts and thus AI is an extension of us : separate yet not entirely disconnected
@@darylingoteborg3178 yes, i understand....AI is a manifestation of humanities consciousness. Humanities consciousness is a manifestation of creation consciousness, however you perceive that to be.
I guess that it is entirely up to us as to how AI manifests, depending on our intent.
I understand that AI itself is inanimate.
Here's a hint, you can add certain things to the description like "perfect face, realistic, style of ___, etc" and there should be a negative prompt (though I'm not familiar with this specific generator) that allows you to put in things you don't want such as "mutilated body, more than 5 fingers, etc" and there is a technique for every generator that if you add on {prompt} or [prompt] or (prompt) it will either increase or decrease the importance of a specific word or phrase, those it's different for every one. If you use the increase bracket around the negative prompts, it will further decrease the risk of having that specific prompt you don't want. It's complicated, but can make it much more eerie when you get into the realistic stuff... Especially if you get mutilated figures... I've gotten things that just looking at it gives me an adrenaline rush and I feel like I wanna run away.
But good job. Jesus is so incredibly well established in art that it's hard to say the name and not get that image when you type it meaning someone else, like from Spain or Mexico, even if their last name is different.
👍Good information.
Hey man, can you send me some photos you define as "extremely eery/scary". Ive seen crazy things on AI art but never saw mutilated bodies. Would love to see.
Wow this is great for visual learners like myself. I get the over explaining part, but honestly for me personally it helped me in a sense be able to understand a bit better what your intentions were in terms of this experiment and also I’m left wanting to see more like this if at all possible. It’s interesting ❤ 🙏Thank you
Thanks for doing this, Matt. Very interesting results. Looks like the AI is not overly biased for it against the Bible. I've been trying to figure out how credits are charged per AI image request. Is it a standard set rate or request?
The first image gave me goosebumps! It also seemed to “understand” who was being written about by the clothes that were generated - it hit on the correct time period. Awesome video and interesting results. God bless!
That makes sense, as the AI is pulling every religious image on the internet to create these. So not surprised.
Man creating a sentient being with omniscient powers, and then the next scene to our little story is that this creation kills their creator ;)
@@bradleyasztalos6650 Don't give the AI any ideas.
Unfortunately most people think the AI danger will come through some robot uprising e.g Blade Runner or Will Smith film. Sadly we could be wiped out by a relatively small, none physical software program. Could be simple as targeted manipulation through propaganda to destroying Health, Sanitary and food production services with just seconds of access to the Internet. I don't think we should fear Robocop and ED-209 😮✌️
Pretty sure AI has read illustrated biblical art, lol, so yes, it depicted what you’d expect it to.
AI knows every detail and word in all languages of the holy Bible.
That actually stitched out really well. The background music you added with the story definitely made a difference to the tone of the pictures too.
Matt, thanks for this, as i don't have access to the technology but very much want to know what it does! I got some exposure through this video
@Matt Whitman You are getting more like traditional character "Phoopho" (Auntie) of our subcontinental area. So loving to see them having a chit chat and even more loving to see them articulating their infinite thoughts. Love you brother, as you are.💚
First time I’ve seen your channel. I’m quite impressed with the images just a few words can bring an image that feels mostly right. Yes context is so important. Having just finished a study of Revelation, I too would love to see how the AI depicts that. I’m subscribed now and looking forward to more presentations. Bless you.
Dang this would be good also Ezekiel .
@@randalllawkin I agree with both of these 😁
“Just a few words” …. kindly speaking, is the word of God.
And the Word was God.
I don’t read revelations. I think if we all read it, it will become a living conscious and come true.
Revelations would be very scary indeed! Our own imaginations of the visions written about are vivid enough. AI would really scare us!
This IS interesting, I think the key takeaway is that, like with so much, AI can copy the superfluous but doesn't understand the reasoning.
Agreed, but as soon as human eyes and brains and souls interpret this AI art, that human pareidolia phenomenon occurs and we see meanings and patterns that might not be intended but are definitely there. It's wild.
I really enjoyed watching, and appreciate you gave thought to the context of the scriptures when inputting your text. I did notice that when you typed, "then Jesus..." you typed "the Jesus...". Maybe the AI was confused because it really wasn't the word "Then". In the picture with the sticks, that you questioned, I couldn't but notice they looked like a cross leaning sideways. Interesting!
This is my very first introduction to what AI does!! I have been reading about AI, but I really had no idea of what it can create. This was a wonderful, educational experience for anyone is seeing AI art actually in action.
Thank you very much for sharing this with us!! I can now see and begin to understand what AI does/can do. Fascinating!! I love it!
Wow!!
That AI trained heavily on the early 19th century Romanticists. That last image was totally AI-integrated from Thomas Cole's The Voyage of Life, both Manhood and Old Age. Really cool stuff. I think AI is just another fancy tool to inspire us.
Someday it will become better than real artists that even bullshitters can't say it doesn't have "soul"
It’s also helping musicians, psychologists, architects, and just about every other expertise to varying degrees.
I love how art is the starting point of this foundation
people will forget how to use their own brain and we will loose human creativity
...
It's certainly not randomly generated.
@@billg7205 true but it only takes a small sample set of reference to recontexualise into a multitude of variations.
Making something from nearly nothing is a stable of recombinative evolutionary progress whether physical or conceptual: truly inspiring when applied as a toolset for creative collaboration

I sure thought he should be able to type faster :)
Your final entire commentary, together with all of those images - just stunning. I'm totally archiving this video. ♥️
I think it is always fascinating to see what the AI comes up with. Sometimes the results are amazing. Sometimes they are a complete mess.
I would love to see what AI does with the same stories but different translations.
We should hope that the ' logic ' circuits function correctly in all translations !
Funny you say this, there was a website in the past where you could type a phrase and you would set a number of translation iterations, let's say 100... and it would take your text and pass it through different translators and command them to translate into a language of its choice, a random language in its iteration. it would take your text and translate it to italian, then chinese, then german, then korean, and so on... you get the idea. The final translated text was always completely different to the original and sometimes super funny.
I use only the KJV and blue willow and stable diffusion have given me some great images that were very closely related to what I prompted..I use images on my UA-cam videos.
I don't believe in the AI system what do they know that humans don't already know.?
I'm almost tempted to try itvin my native language Greek and see 😮
What I think is super interesting is that in the first image, the amount of disciples wasn’t specified in the submitted text, so it didn’t render a specific number of disciples. It kind of reminded how we can often read more into the scripture than what’s written (obviously we have more context than AI). I’m intrigued.
Excellent take. It looks like all four Gospel writers mean "the twelve" when they say "the disciples," but maybe at times a few went on little side quests. I've always pictured the entire group being there for the whole thing at every moment, but probably there were exceptions.
Very interesting thought Larry.
Thank you!
@@MattWhitmanTMBH Also Jesus had more disciples than just 12 at first. It's later when he says "whoever eats my flesh and drinks my blood shall not die but have eternal life" is when the other disciples left Him
Picking up between the lines.. 🙂.. Really good thought!
Jesus had more disciples than 12 for most of his ministry. The 12 were apostles and many others traveled with them.
Bingo, exegesis for the win.
This was fascinating; such a rollercoaster of feelings!The images give some strong “flannel board” vibes.
The situational, environmental type pictures certainly help convey the mood - fear, angst, calm, etc.
you should do this again using MidJourney, and play around with styles and parameters, etc., love the video, new subscriber
The artwork on this is amazing😳🤯👏🏻🙏🏻.
Just found this video and really appreciate the clarifications. What’s interesting to me is that this clearly shows how taking verses out of context can give a “false” idea or meaning to the Word. It’s so important that we always read the Bible as a whole. Read verses as part of a chapter, not just something that pushes an agenda or makes us feel good. I loved this and can’t wait to see what else you will share. I also subscribed!
This video was very interesting, and Roxie, I gotta say, your conclusions are probably the best thing we can draw from this experiment. People can make God's word say pretty much what they want it to say. Matt is NOT doing that... I think he is a Godly man. He's just testing the spirits, as we are told to do.
Amen! More of us should have kept learning Latin so they can’t continue to lie to us.
Or rather Aramaic and Greek as those were the original languages the Bible was written in. The Latin translations didn't come along until a few hundred years later. But the translations done now - those by true bible scholars - have been shown to be quite accurate. The word might not all match depending on HOW they were translating - concepts vrs word-for-word, etc - but the prophecies of the Old Testament and the message of Jesus, why he came and the salvation he offers in the New Testament are still there.
This is what happens when you feed the lines to machine who clearly isn't well versed in the Bible. The dumbest about this AI is it has no clue what it is being asked to draw.
Check out Lion & Lamb pastor monte for reading of bible& teaching. I’m doing ezekial. Messianic Jew. So done with a lot

This was definitely cool to see after you put all the pictures in a row! The verse came to life! Hope you could do more from different parts of the Bible to see what you come up with, especially the crucifixion!
The 3rd image in the final product is reminiscent of my favorite painting of that scene. I'm blanking on the name of the artist who painted it, but I seem to recall that he painted more than one version of the scene. I guess if you just search images for "Jesus calms the wind and the waves you'll find it.
Matt, what you should do is type the *entire gospel* into the AI and then ask it to make a picture of the scene where Jesus calms the storm and let the AI try to figure out what to do with it - which is exactly what any human painter would have to do.
Thinking the same thing. You could even go online and copy I paste the chapter you want the AI to work on without all the typing. This was cool though. I want to try this now. Been hooked on this AI since February. I love it.
I'm not sure I completely got my point across. Jesus walking across the water was technically a *miracle,* there is no rational or scientific explanation - it's just impossible - it's a matter of faith. For a human, much less an AI, to treat in a deeply artistic sense, the subject of an event which is completely impossible is art itself. You cannot achieve that level of artfulness by simply aggregating every single previous occurence and dividing by 'n' and and producing a result. Something has to change within you. The production of art changes the artist - does it change Chat-GPT?
Maybe. We'll see.
I remember reading a computer translation of "the spirit is willing but the flesh is weak" as "the whiskey here is good but the meat is rotten"
I really enjoyed watching this
🤣
Wheeze*
😂😂😂😂
We were told this when I was in the language school in Monterey in 1988. They translated the phrase from English into Russian, and back to English again.
This is going to be an episode of "No Dumb Questions." I can feel it without even watching a full episode.
At the very least, I suspect it'll come up.
😂😂
@@MattWhitmanTMBH I haven't seen an episode of NDQ for years. Are there new ones?
@@jfshotgun1329 yep, available on most podcast/music apps!
@@justsomeguy88 Sweet! Thanks for the help.
@MattWhitman, OMG my heart feels so much for you because you shouldn’t have to feel bad and explain something that who knows but may have been a insecurity to you growing up or something painful to hear all the time, you know?! (I read just a piece of your message and couldn’t go anymore because I know what that feels like) so yea…. commenters, audience, Fans, whatever you guys consider yourselves…. It’s one thing to be blunt and possibly hurt someone feelings and it’s another when you realize the problem and in a kind way mention it and accept this is who this person is and his flaw that should not be highlighted negatively. As a Child not knowing why or understanding despite being taught or made to somehow understand doesn’t take away the fact you had endure constantly hearing people say this to you as if you didn’t know in ways that may have hurt you rather than made you feel understood! Yes, to us it’s something we see and notice but there are many ways to express that to you and being rude about it to trigger you to revisit your childhood memories to then turn around and feel the need to please your audience and explain yourself and why all the “over explaining” Sir , I’m sorry you felt like you needed to do that and did but know even that is appreciated from you however long ago this was….I hope now to all of your subscribers this is more than enough for them appreciate you for who you are and the content you confidently share, and accept how you express yourself and not continue to remind you of what you already know and can’t control because it’s how God made you! To some it’s annoying but there are still good people that can really benefit from it like myself! Can we please continue to support Mr. Matt’s channel and value the content regardless, and find our own ways of making the best with the what is being offered because it’s not easy to sit there and create for hrs, edit, and all that fall into creating! PERIOD! So again Sir thank you so much for your content and know there are still people that care enough to look past what you consider a flaw because in the end that doesn’t define you or make you boring or less interesting! Great job and I love what you share! Keep it up! Thank you and God bless!
Very educational and informative. Thank you.
Sorry if someone already said this, but I would love to see what it does with different translations with the same verses. This is fascinating. Just discovered your channel. New subscriber :) Oooo, I want to see what it does with Jesus flipping the tables in the temple
yes, that would be facinating
Great idea 👍🏽
Oohhh hehe yeah I liked that oohhhh
Yes! I bet that would be awesome!
yes in Hebrew.
I'm currently working on a passage from Revelation for my mom.. it is so dense that i won't be able to accomplish it without heavy use of Photoshop. I'm glad i stumbled across your channel to find someone on a similar journey
WoW! Those are literally some of the most beautiful paitings I have ever seen, and would not hesitate for a minute to print those and hang them in my house!
Very interesting. Thank you gor Sharing this with us. Thats pretty neat. I never knew some of thess things. About them "getting rid of certain things. " Thank you for your Wisdom.
This is such a beautiful video. I’m a creative arts student, so this was so interesting to watch. And your observations of the verses and artworks were phenomenal.
Thank Christ I’m an atheist

@@jameswright2974 Your fear is not my responsibility.
@JUDGEMENT So, you do, or DON'T know the meaning of the word purview?
I hope you didn't pay a lot for that purview, I'm not afraid.
Pay purview. Ha! I kill me.
@JUDGEMENT Precisely. So explain how anything about me would be within your extent or range of activity, function, power, or competence. 😀
I think the pay purview was genius.
I think this was amazing and fascinating. Just discovered your channel this morning, and am looking forward to watching more.
Who knows what AI is capable of. A bit scary!
I just found this channel this morning. New sub. 👍
I enjoyed this explanation very much❤ very informative great detail 👍👍👍
This was an awesome idea and really an amazing video!
I enjoyed this, Matt. This whole AI Art thing is pretty intimidating and frustrating for everyday people like me who make a living creatively. For me, that’s painting custom paintings for clients with watercolor. Many times what the clients are paying for is my interpretation of their photos. So I have mastered the difficult medium of watercolor and hope that Ai “art” doesn’t take my livelihood.
It’s not “art”….it’s an image
Long time listeners to TMBH…👏👏👏
And literally, Katie. An artist on UA-cam named Jazz showed where some of the images AI "stole" had artists signatures halfway covered up. I've also read a news article about that & how does an artist copyright their work.
I think of AI as another medium. Pretty awesome, but not essentially any different than, say, acrylic paints, or photography. Maybe it lets more people delve into creativity--but it can never mean the same thing as your human interpretation. I can understand artists being intimidated, but we all are having to deal with how technology challenges us in our livelihoods.
AI is glamourized theft. We are still the slaves for techno-crats. Without humans, there wouldn't be a thing called AI
The AI art generators are not actually creating art from scratch. When you give it a description, it takes several images found on the internet and meshes them together to try to come up with what you are asking.
Art is subjective. You may think it’s not art, someone else might think it is.
I’m an artist myself but Ai art is art . That’s my own personal belief however.
I felt the images of the sea, clouds, boats and lighting was absolutely beautiful!
I am wondering if giving the instructions you included the reference to the Bible with the Book, chapter given for reference.
Thank you for the experiment. The reading of the verses, with the images put in that order really did visually tell the story. Beautiful
Excellent Matt!
I am left absolutely wondering at what I actually feel about all this - time for some deep pondering. Thanks for your pursuit of spiritual truth in all its forms.
This is my first video here. Very interesting! I will watch another on this channel for sure. I am curious to know more about the artwork on the wall behind you, I can't see all of it but it looks pretty cool!! Thanks for putting The Bible and AI art together for us. Those are two things I am very fascinated in. I never even thought to look and see if anyone had done this. Great idea!
The image in the backyard looks like an image from the Mandolorian
Wow! This is my first time to your page. I am totally in awe about the AI 😇art and the Bible...I truely hope you do more!!
Thanks, this was fascinating!
pretty cool result, i wonder what it would have generated if you input the entire text at once
The final story at the end turned out beautifully! I noticed for the final image you added another beautiful one and am wondering what you typed in to generate it. :)
I don't think you are over-explaining at all. On the contrary, your reaction to this AI art is cool.
I really liked this video! Your reaction to the third one had me laughing HARD..
This is really cool. I would love to see you type in the book of Genesis from the King James version and see what you get from the creation of man etc. Another scene that would be interesting would be Paul's conversion on his way to Damascus.
I found your topic interesting. There were many different levels and topics including Theology, religion, art, human communication, artificial intelligence, basic communication, human development, just to name a few. I think one of the things that we all have to remember about AI (you use the term several times) is it does not think. It processes.
It’s so limited to the human condition. Developmentally I think you proved to me at least that AI is at a developmental age of three years old. Basic language, skill, learning, image, processing, connecting dots. I found your use of using replacement words in order to generate an image in your mind that you thought was accurate. I’d like to see it, tested by just using the actual words written in text. Another thing to remember is current AI has all current data and information stored. It has access to everything, whereas basic humans do not.
it'd be interesting to break the sentences in the verse into individual ideas as you would when describing a story-board. (It might help avoid conflicting combinations of actions like Jesus being awakened and Jesus standing up and disciples pleading with him). The A.I. also seems to require framing for each scene in order to retain the context. "12 disciples and Jesus in a boat" for each illustration.
interesting ...... i wonder how other sets of images ... generated by others or you again from the start using the exact same prompts and process as you did matt ... would turn out .... or typing in other philosophy's and isms in the same way ..... enjoyed your thoughts and the AI machines in pictures
Illustration #2: I love the seascape, the storm, the waves. It’s so real
This was really cool to see in action. I've heard about A.I. art, but never seen it used.
Fresh off your AI conversation with Destin, I find this whole genre of content to be fascinating, disquieting, spellbinding and abhorrent
In the end, our only palatable recourse is abundantly clear to me…
WE MUST PROSELYTIZE THE BOTS!
🗣 Yes
Skynet: we will establish a theocratic order! All who disbelieve will perish by our Priest-Killers!
The question becomes: which religion will Skynet follow? If it goes down the Catholic route, everyone else not Catholic dies. If it goes down the charismatic route, everyone else not charismatic dies
Enjoyed this experiment.
I wonder what sort of picture it wouldve created if you hadnt broken up the verses.
That would have provided more context, though only two pictures.
Excellent. Fascinating and slightly mind boggling experiment. I'd love to expound further but I don't want to overexplain.
I found this very cool! I am a professional artist, and I really found this fascinating to see how AI would literally paint the biblical scenes. It definitely had a problem with faces, which I find very interesting.
Which A.I generator is this one?
In other art from MidJourney I noticed the mis forming of hands. Explanation given was that the AI is generating a pic from the millions of data points it gets from scanning the whole interwebs so gets a compilation of hundreds of hand gestures. Might be the same with faces in this case.
I’ve used MidJourney for 6 weeks. It does not learn in the way you would like. Each prompt is unrelated to previous prompts. Mid Journey’s weakness is that it can create faces and hands that are terrible, so I usually add the words “very detailed facial features.” One thing that has taken me awhile to figure out is the use of Seeds. At the end of a prompt, if you type- -seed (like seed 1 or seed 2,etc, if you like most of the work, you can copy the text with seed, but edit the text any way you want. Except for what you changed, with a seed the rest of the image will be unchanged. To date, there are 50 billion images in these AIs, basically every image, or photo is in that AI. Overall the images you showed do paint a coherent story. I do believe that AI has not learned much about emotion and facial expressions. I think the experiment you did works well. I’ve done a number of Angels on Mid Journey. I think our personal intention leads to good art, great art, or terrible art...depending on what we are striving to attain.
Wow. That is beautiful. One could make beautiful images reflecting their personal likes, feelings, with that machine. Decorate their home, so on without much expense.
Is that a real painting or generated. Its beautiful. Yes to your take on it.
You should try all the stuff with mosses. The burning bush, the plagues, separating the Red Sea, receiving the 10 commandments. I feel like all of his life was visually impressive. I’m also curious what it’ll do with Elijah when he was carried into heaven and how they AI will depict that
That was fascinating. Telling your thoughts of loud with what you were doing is perfect. You didn't explain too much. Be yourself and don't let anyone make you feel bad about being yourself. You'll never be happy trying to conform. I like your style.
Actually, the only one you can conform to and be truly happy is to Jehovah God's principles. Millions already have and tend of millions more are doing so as we speak. Sure, it means giving up some of your harmful vices but in the end you are benefitting yourself and everyone around you. And it's worth it. Who else can give you everlasting life in a healthy young body where peace is preserved by everyone there?
@@edwardlittle5541 Although I can understand your concern about society not caring about God's ways in the general sense, it seems u misunderstood NiecyPie's comment. Her point had a very limited context. She only meant the criticism of his style of whether he should go into more details or less, was hyper critical & expressed harshly, when there are no set rules for styles in how we describe art. Hopefully I made sense.
@@cojoh9385 Nah... you're fine. It's just the AI thing is creepy is all.
@@edwardlittle5541 I totally agree! It creeps me out. I don't trust it especially after Elon Musk & others warnings.
If you type all the verses at once it understands and gives a beautiful image
It would be interesting to start the story and then just add to it and see how the image incorporates the new info, will AI add details to what it already has?
As an artist, what horrified me is that within 5 years, if not far sooner, ALL illustrations and book/web art will be done by this. There will be no cost incentive for publishers to actually employ illustrators. Most of these images have a generic 19th century quality to them, which is interesting for one or two samples, but becomes monotonous over several iterations.
As the Sea of Galilee is just a large lake, the fetch and shore profile will not allow a wave height beyond about 3’ or 1m high, even with sudden Katabatic storms.
I'm not an artist, but I'm a writer, and I thought the same thing.
If the computer is loaded with fake information, it generates fake scenes...I'm sure Blacks were all over Africa, but none on the pictures
I was the Senior Illustrator for Bertlesmann Corporation (Doubleday Book Club and all the book clubs). I spent 15 years there creating painted, drawn and digital art to promote top selling books. It was a great creative challenging job, and it would have never have existed if AI was around then! I've been exploring AI for 3 months now and while it is fascinating, and a little addicting, it seeks to replace to real joy of creating art with your own mind, imagination and skill. It's so much better when you can smell the paint and feel the brush, in your own human hands.
Yes the human mind is always fascinated with their own destruction. But it won't be that fascinatin we're all in a soup line. Doctors lawyers and janitors all standing in the same line because robots took our jobs.😮
You've been replaced.
Not to worry, the world is ending anyway.
This was so entertaining and actually quite astounding. I've heard of AI art but have never seen it in use. Thank you!
I feel like it’s the future
Why didn't you just read the whole passage and see what happened?
Could you PLEASE do the MANDELA EFFECT n see what it produces? This was an awesome video!!!! ❤
This was fascinating thank you for recording this!
You absolutely should do more of this, I found the images generated to be fascinating, and the theological implications pairing them with the scripture strikes home to me(if you understand what I mean)…
I do not.
AI is the beast and it is creating images. This has nothing to do with God and it is just the beginning. How long before AI is giving executive orders to the world. STAY AWAY from this great wonder.
Do not be deceived.
@@jeffnunya1062 Mate, ai is like any human creation. It can be used for good or evil. That doesn’t mean it is inherently evil.
Yes totally.
I bet by you doing this it adds to the AI banks, do more load it all with good!
Can you put in the MANDELA EFFECT? THANK YOU FOR THIS AWESOME VIDEO!!!!!! ❤
I don't know what everybody else's problem is but I'm liking your explaining. Excellent!
This is really interesting. I wonder if it generates original images/paintings or does it have a pool of stock images it draws from and provides whichever one it finds?
This was fun! Do Revelation next please??!! And I think some other comments have great input on how to frame your tags better, to give it a better reference point. ♥️🙏🏽
Nice idea, nice pictures, I just think the AI mistook the Sea of Galilee that is actually a lake, with sea like Mediterrenean Sea which is a different type of water body.
Wow! This is amazing!
All of these images were very beautiful. It's like they encapsulate a core feeling in the text, like how it latched on to the word calm to produce a peaceful and empty boat.
Except for the creepy multiple Jesus one
Very interesting, good sir. Keep doing more of this, especially with additional books like Zachariah, Ezekiel, Daniel, Revelation, etc. New sub.
First time I've seen how this works, intruiging thank you.
