Inclusive

I have been binge watching the series “The Chosen” of late.
Typical of me I did not want to embrace it at first. 
One thing I have learned in recent years is there is another option to what I thought was the case.  I have always been one to embrace what is not mainstream.  When others raved about some things that were popular, I tended to go for the obscure.  I do think my life is the richer for that.
But what I have found is that there just being the option of “yes” I will go for it or “no” I won’t, there is a third option that is coming more into play in recent times and that is “not yet.” I am really enjoying stuff that was popular when I was younger.  I rejected it at the time but am making what feels like a new discovery in that much of the stuff is really good.  It was always good, but the time was just not right for me. 
For a number of years I avoided “The Chosen.”  My curiosity was aroused due to the humanity of the characters.  I have really been enjoying it.
I said all that to say something I read his morning.  It is by a world-renowned journalist.  I guess it impacted me as (although better said) it is something I feel I have held to for ages.  I was saying why I mis-trusted algorithms making decisions.  In my mind they fail to take into account our humanity, frailty  and ability to change.
One part of me loves AI for sure.  It is wonderful at sourcing and presenting information.  But I do feel it processes rather than thinks.  It seems really good for facts and figures about what is.  It falls down big time as far as I am concerned regarding moral decisions.
My reasoning is thus.  AI is totally dependent on what goes into it.  It will only process what it has been presented with.  Which leads to what I read this morning. “…the gatekeepers of popular culture are simply missing an enormous part of the human experience…by ruling out of court the sympathetic portrayal of Christian belief in popular culture and high art…”  I do love the balance the author brings.  “…the lesson runs the other way as well:  too many Christians have simply given up trying to create Christian works of art for popular culture…”
What I believe is that much of our history has not been told or in my opinion, worse yet, has been chosen to be ignored.  So much it seems is the portrayal of a point of view that dismisses any contrary view.  This to me is being seen in AI.  When it comes to moral issues AI will only disgorge what has gone into it.  When one aspect of history is ignored, it is not referenced despite that history making up a good, bad, ugly, beautiful part of the history.
Anyway, I am really enjoying “The Chosen” and the book I am reading.
