"AI . . . is not a creature of God"

      "A corollary to the claim that AI is a human artifact for use—and artifacts do not enjoy God—is that AI, unlike creatures, are not objects of God’s redemptive action:  God 'saves man and beast,' as the Psalmist writes (36:6)—but not chainsaws, whose good or ill use is in the hands of human beings.  It is, of course, possible to conceive of AI being part of a human world that God re-creates and 'redeems' in this sense; but in this case, AI’s relationship to God is only through its reordered use by its makers:  human beings; and that use is itself evaluated according to how it furthers the full enjoyment of God, in love and praise, by human beings."
