A landmark Supreme Court case has significant implications for American jurisprudence, while the rise of AI chatbots is leading to concerns about social media's impact on children's mental health and identity. Meanwhile, a conservative policy advocate weighs in on the importance of discernment in Christianity, highlighting the contrast between John MacArthur's unwavering faith and Chip Gaines' seemingly compromised views.

What I'm getting into is this stunk As for someone who's a Old time TV show Superman guy trying to get entertained for a couple hours and wants to see Superman. This movie was pure. torture to sit through. torture. I mean, I'll tell you this.

If my name was on the credits, I'd hide it. That's how bad it was. This was two hours of this new Superman. was a decent it wasn't Christopher Reeves, but he was Okay, Superman. Two hours of him Getting the crap beat out of him.

Who wants to see Superman get beat up for two? He's getting beat up by everybody. Plus, you have other superheroes in the movie. I didn't go there to see some guy named Mr. Terrific.

I didn't go there to see the Green Lantern or some lady named Hawk something or other. I don't know who you know who she was.

Okay, these other superheroes who he calls on. Who needs other superheroes? I think that's hysterical. And I think he's right. Who are the other people?

And you don't want to see Superman get beat up because it's Superman. He's literally the strongest thing on God's green well, not be off of God's green earth and on God's green earth. He's the super strong. He's from Krypton. Why in the world would he get beat up by anybody?

Do they think that makes it more realistic? Because you're talking about a space alien. Who was orphaned and adopted and wore his blanket, his indestructible blanket that he came to earth in? That was his cape. Why would he be beaten up by anyone?

Can I just say I think the dog in it is stupid? I love dogs. I don't want to see a super dog. You just kidding me? Super dog?

Stop it. I don't want to see no super dog. Mr. Terrific, what is that? Shut up.

No. You can't have anybody else when you have Superman. It's Superman or it's nobody. I just, I don't know. I get it that they're trying to, like, I guess, flesh out some franchises.

That was a funny review, though. I'm no, I'm not gonna go see it. I'm not gonna go see that movie. I don't like superhero movies anyway. I get tired of them.

I liked it before there was one out every week. You guys want to hear the saddest headline ever? This is so depressing. Kids are turning to AI for a friendship. This is a British study.

They quoted one kid as saying, I don't have anyone else to talk to. An EUK report reveals children are turning to chat bots. not just for homework help. But for emotional advice. because they have nobody else.

Some are saying that this is going to give TikTok a run for its money. I think TikTok needs to die personally. I'm so tired of I think people obsess over everything. I was reading this piece that was questioning the standards of American beauty and the destruction that social media has wrought. And I agree with it.

And I think this is this is all the chat bots, all the stuff. facilitation is going to take over TikTok, I think. But There was this report published as a nonprofit called Internet Matters. They surveyed over 1,000 children and 2,000 parents across the UK. 64% of kids are using AI chatbots for everything from schoolwork to practicing tough conversations.

Over a third. said that talking to the chat bot feels like they're talking to a friend. And remember, these chatbots have no built-in safety checks at all. And they said that 42% of children said they use it to help with schoolwork because they get quick answers. Can I just pause that for a minute?

Do you know why people like chatbots for research and getting quick answers? Because the algorithms of the search engines are heinous. Progressive partisanship has pushed us into the arms of AI. It absolutely has. Ken, would you disagree with that?

It's it's Absolutely, I think it absolutely has. Think about it. When you I can't use Google to research anything. Google is one of the most useless things ever right now. It is useless, and its AI feeds off of that same partisanship.

When you ask AI a question, If you're wanting to get an answer, you have to be so specific with your prompt. And I think people are still figuring out the specificity of prompts and what works better and what doesn't. But if you don't... put in a few key words. You're going to get just a bunch of progressive garbage.

Google is horrible to use, it is one of the worst things ever. It is a horrible search engine. It's horrible to use for research. It is as unreliable as Wikipedia. And by the way, Wikipedia is so unreliable, it is barred from consideration in a courtroom, just so you know.

Wikipedia is disallowed in courtrooms. Because it it doesn't meet their standard, their evidentiary standards. That's how bad Wikipedia is.

So the all this progressive partisanship Has really pushed us into this.

So people instead of You know, trawling the internet trying to find one fact-based thing.

So you can learn more about something. They think, well, if I just ask AI and just have AI, and then I can get it quicker with AI. And depending on how you prompt AI, you can. You can prompt AI from, you know, explain X, Y, Z from an American conservative perspective.

Well, if you don't, if you just leave it at that, you're going to get a bunch of cringy, hokey, red meat platitudes. You got to even be more specific and drill down. It is, it's, it's wild. I don't really use AI a whole lot. I mean, I have experimented with it.

I think that people need to be careful with it when they want to use it for quick answers because there are people that are being busted all over social media for using it really quickly. And remember, AI. AI can't observe the world and learn things by itself. The only way that AI is powerful is through human observation, and that's its weakness. It only observes what we observe.

It observes what humans observe. It observes. uh through us and learns through us and so This, it's limited in that respect. But I've I've experimented with it, I've done certain things. Where you know, I'm like, well, what happened?

And compare answers. You gotta be real careful in using it though. As a formal response, because it does get things wrong, like notoriously so, it gets things wrong. It will, and it depends on what it pulls from. It could pull from a popular page or somebody's social media account where they have it wrong, but it because it can cite it.

and say, oh, this exists on the internet, so this must be accurate. and present it to you as truth.

So it's not perfect yet. It's not perfect yet.

So I don't know. I um I I don't do you use it a lot? Do you use have you used AI a lot? No, I don't. I used it for that one video where he was baby Dana.

But that was just one thing. Yeah, that was just like imaging. And you know, some chat GPT is used a lot. Grok is used a lot. I think AI.

Mecha Hitler, you mean? Yeah, Mecca Hitler. I think it's changed now. But how sad is it, though, that you have a quarter of kids that use chatbots for advice? They ask what to wear, how to navigate friendships.

So do you know the other thing that people have been doing?

So, women in their late teens and early 20s have been using AI. To they like put a they give it a photo of themselves and then they ask AI. How would you improve my looks? And I read this story.

So, this is about this piece that I read. I'm gonna send this, I'm gonna have this as a separate thing for you, those of you who subscribe over at Substack. Uh because it's fascinating. Plastic surgeons have said that, based on this, idealized, like social media has ruined beauty. And they said that now they're starting to see people come in, like women in their 20s, go in.

with these like Um AI-generated images that are of themselves, but like they ask AI, what would you improve? And then AI changes and does all this stuff. How sad is this?

So kids are lonely. Women are wanting to change their appearance due to AI. Where are we going? with this. I think it's a toxic brew when you have.

There's some value in being a victim, right?

So you sort of splinter yourself off in whatever category you think you are, so you can become this. Valuable victim, but then that also separates you from connecting with other people.

So you're not really connecting with, so now you go to this. Chatbot thing because it's not judgmental, and you know, it's like a new thing, and it feels good, I guess, for these kids who aren't connecting. AI and COVID have just killed. Yeah.

Socialization They really have. It's it's so incredibly sad. But I mean, I think there's certain things that AI is good for. But then stuff like this, the human aspect of it. I don't know, nothing beats meat space.

And now, all of the news you would probably miss, it's time for Dana's Quick Five. A Wisconsin nurse has pled no contest to amputating a man's foot without permission.

The nurse said that she had hoped to Oh wow. Display the foot in her family's taxidermy shop with a sign that says, Wear your boots, kids. Oh my gosh. She pled no contest. It was negligent abuse of a patient.

Mary K. Brown, Pierce County.

So she has two felony charges against her: physical abuse of an elder person intentionally causing great bodily harm and mayhem. She was working at a senior living home, and a 62-year-old was being treated after a fall in his home. And he had had severe frostbite in his feet. They became necrotic, and reportedly he was removed to hospice. And she apparently said that it would make the quality of life better for him, the amputation.

So she apparently did it herself. I can't even imagine. She didn't get permission and apparently didn't even tell his physician. And he died days after. He died days after the amputation.

Oh my gosh. That's Yeah, it's a horror film. That's it's like misery. Ooh, Kathy Bates. An experiment finds that What?

Yogurt? Yogurt can lower the house temperature. What? I don't even know what this means. They said that applying yogurt to the outside windows could lower your temper.

Who's gonna put window? Who's gonna put yogurt on their windows? This is a stupid survey. It's like these people got drunk and decided to do crazy stuff. I don't know.

German customs officials show images of tarantulas hidden in sponge cake boxes after a smuggling bust. No. No, thank you. Oh my gosh, there's photos. Oh, I don't.

Regain, powered by BetterHelp. I mentioned this yesterday, and I have a piece over at Substack about this.

If you follow me over at Substack. It's called Worldly Gains. And I thought it was a very interesting contrast because we've got word that the pastor and theologian John MacArthur had passed away. He was just a giant in this generation. He's like, you know, one of those once-in-a-lifetime kind of pastors.

And I was contrasting that with the Chip and Joanna Gaines story. I was digging into this more yesterday, and I was really shocked by some of the stuff that I saw. I wrote about it, and there's even more. I'm going to have to update it. Uh, if you were unfamiliar, they had their own Magnolia network and they launched this show called Back to the Frontier.

And it one of them featured two dads and then the boys they adopted as part of the cast. If you've ever watched any interview of Chip and Joanna Gaines, I mean, and I've linked all of them, well, not all of them, but a bunch of them. They have said, you know, our family puts Christ first. Our work is an extension of our ministry. The way that they have Described their faith, they made it very certain that they were faith first and that everything that they do and work is guided by God.

And that's that's they really rose to massive success with this. And so, Their fan base is understandably confused because they. They executive produced, so they selected these people. This wasn't done by a casting director. According to the reporting and the people who are cast.

The games has selected them. And so they're um I, they were criticized prior for not featuring same-sex couples on their house flipping show. And then the press began investigating all of this stuff, and they. You know, obviously, I'm sure they're surprised to find out that their pastor holds biblical views on marriage.

So I don't know why they decided to do a 180. And Franklin Graham responded to it and said he was disappointed, the American Family Association, but Chip Gaines started going off on social media. And I just I was really shocked to see it. He said this. He said, quote, well, he goes, I appreciate that.

If you admire and appreciate us so much, any chance there's more to this? No one knows. But the quote unquote Christians have certainly come out in full force as if they do know. Quote, judge not and love one another is not too difficult. I had a major problem with this because, first off, a lot of people go off and say, don't judge as a way to defend against godlessness.

And that's just, that is such an illiterate interpretation of what Jesus was talking about in his Sermon on the Mount in Matthew 7, because he was talking about hypocritical judgment. He wasn't talking about don't use discernment. Godly discernment is absolutely allowed and spoken of positively in the Bible. This hypocritical judgment, meaning by whatever measure you use against others, that same measure will be applied against you. That is precisely what Jesus was talking about in Matthew 7.

He's not disavowing discernment. He's warning against hypocritical judgment. And I was shocked that someone who is. mature s I thought mature in their faith did not Know this and misinterpreted this verse as a shield against godly correction. And what they're doing, and this is the crux, they're pitting non-biblical practice against a covenant.

Between a man and a woman and a God, and God, as not a big deal, because he said this isn't a big deal, there's other shows. This isn't just alienating believers that help build their empire. It is diminishing the Christian view of marriage to the fringes. Yeah.

and and accommodating a godless worldly view. How does that reconcile with their previous statements where they say they put God first in their work as like an extension of their faith? How does that, how do you reconcile those statements? I mean, if anything, if you want to talk about legitimizing or mainstreaming things, why not? legitimize or mainstream the traditional American family.

This is just a continuation of the Marxist war against the building block of society because without it, society completely falls apart. I think Chip Gaines' reaction has been harsh to even the most minor good faith, godly correction. He is not grace under fire as he used to be. And apparently, one of their people that they do business with welcomed a man into their marriage, created a thruple, and then talked about raising their kids while the wife was still in the home. And Joanna Gaines commented on it and said, you are so good.

That's all over Twitter or X.

So what in the are they fake Christians? Are they just quote-unquote cultural Christians? Like, we're going to be a little Jesus. And then that's the thing because they built. Their whole empire on this, I was absolutely shocked to see Chip Gaines's reaction and his ungodly responses to some of this.

It's not what I expected from them. And It bothers me because we don't have enough of icons like this in society. I want you to compare and contrast Chip Gaines. And John MacArthur. John MacArthur never bent a knee at the pulpit except to Christ.

He never backed away and went with the current. He stood strong even as churches were being pressured to make it be like buddy Jesus and to get people in the pews and make it more commercial instead of making about saving souls. It is not easy to follow Jesus. Jesus said this. This is the hard road and not everyone can follow it.

And that's something that Chip and Joanna Gaines are proving right now. Thanks for tuning in to today's edition of Dana Lash's Absurd Truth Podcast.
