  SPEAKER_00: Hello and welcome to Filled with His Love.
• 0:22
  SPEAKER_00: So this is a brief Monday thought again to begin the week.
• 0:26
  SPEAKER_00: I was talking with Chat GPT recently and it made a mistake.
• 0:30
  SPEAKER_00: I corrected it and immediately forgave it.
• 0:33
  SPEAKER_00: Then it made another mistake.
• 0:34
  SPEAKER_00: I forgave it again.
• 0:37
  SPEAKER_00: That made me wonder why are we sometimes so quick to forgive AI and so slow to forgive each other?
• 0:46
  SPEAKER_00: If you use Gemini, the disclaimer at the bottom of the message says, Gemini is AI and can make mistakes.
• 0:54
  SPEAKER_00: That's the quote.
• 0:56
  SPEAKER_00: Maybe we humans ought to come with the same disclaimer.
• 1:00
  SPEAKER_00: I'm human and can make mistakes.
• 1:03
  SPEAKER_00: When AI makes a mistake, we usually attribute it to machine error.
• 1:07
  SPEAKER_00: But when humans make mistakes, we often assume bad motives.
• 1:11
  SPEAKER_00: We say to ourselves, why did he do that?
• 1:13
  SPEAKER_00: Or why did she say that?
• 1:15
  SPEAKER_00: We take offense because of someone's tone of voice or the look on their face, and then we hold a grudge.
• 1:22
  SPEAKER_00: Kind of silly to think about holding a grudge against AI, but we hold grudges against each other.
• 1:29
  SPEAKER_00: Of course, some mistakes are serious and we can't just dismiss them, especially if someone is intentionally trying to hurt us.
• 1:38
  SPEAKER_00: But hopefully those cases are rare.
• 1:40
  SPEAKER_00: Much more often a person's mistake is not intentional.
• 1:43
  SPEAKER_00: They're not trying to hurt us, but we may think they are.
• 1:46
  SPEAKER_00: We misperceive their intent, their motive.
• 1:51
  SPEAKER_00: We know we're supposed to be quick to observe, but I also want to be quick to forgive.
• 1:57
  SPEAKER_00: I want to forgive people as fast as I forgive AI for making a mistake.
• 2:03
  SPEAKER_00: Forgiveness should be a part of our nature.
• 2:06
  SPEAKER_00: When we forgive, we ourselves will be forgiven.
• 2:10
  SPEAKER_00: That's what Jesus taught.
• 2:13
  SPEAKER_00: I want to be forgiven quickly, and so I want to forgive quickly.
• 2:17
  SPEAKER_00: I want to let another person's mistake evaporate into thin air instantly.
• 2:22
  SPEAKER_00: Put the past behind us and move on.
• 2:27
  SPEAKER_00: So until next time, let's draw a little closer to God and to one another.
