Don't Have the Gift of Interpretation? AI Can Interpret Tongues for You

Just when you think you’ve heard it all . . . From Protestia

I’m not one to be freaked out by AI, but it never occurred to me that someone would think to do this.

Shawn Bolz continues to discredit himself more and more as a spiritual leader and supposed prophet of God, recently claiming that ChatGPT is interpreting tongues.

Beloved by whom?

Once a prominent and beloved prophet, Bolz has been canceled by several major charismatics over multiple allegations that he has been using secretly gathered social media information to make accurate ‘prophetic words’ over people, including one that nearly led to the death of a young woman.

Sometimes you are known based on those who “cancel you.” Phony prophecy? “I’m shocked that fake prophecy is going on in here!”

He has been canceled by Sid Roth, TBN, and especially by Bethel Church, where, after leaked text messages from Bethel Church’s head prophet Kris Vallotton called Bolz a fake and a phony, the church released a formal statement suggesting that Bolz engaged in sexual harassment and false prophecies.

How do you get to be “head prophet”? The title means there must be more than one. Does it depend upon who makes the best “guesses” (“prophecies”)?

So, when that troublesome untranslated tongue is spoken aloud and interrupts a meeting, let ChatGPT interpret it for you!

During a recent episode of Bolz’s show, he insists that AI programs like ChatGPT are interpreting heavenly prayer languages like speaking in tongues, marveling at how Artificial Intelligence is “catch[ing] up to some of the spiritual fruit that we have as Christians. One of my friends reached out to me whose also a journalist and a writer, and she said, ‘have you done the ChatGPT tongues thing yet?’ And I said, ‘what are you talking about?’ She goes, ‘I spoke in my prayer language on ChatGPT, and it actually interpreted some of my prayer language in different languages around the world.’

A YouTube trend? What can possibly go wrong?

And so ChatGPT, several people are doing this, it’s become a YouTube trend where people are speaking in their spiritual language that they have from God, and it’s actually interpreting some of the words for them, sometimes whole phrases for them.

But can it translate Akkadian or even Aramaic? Or even better, can it make sense of those difficult sections in Robert’s Rules

One of the people I saw online, it was ancient Sumerian that somehow ChatGPT understood. And so I think that’s really wild that there’s languages being spoken by Christians in their prayer language and we’re seeing AI catch up to some of the spiritual fruit that we have as Christians, especially those of you who are charismatic or Pentecostal and you guys believe in speaking in tongues. It’s pretty profound.

“Profound” is not the term I would use . . .
