How would Christian apologists and defenders of the Bible cope against a refutation of the Bible by Artificial Intelligence (AI)?

The website "Tiny Wow" uses AI to produce essays of 700 words and articles of about 2000 words. Investigator is currently trying it out on various topics because it's free and no signing-in is required.

More sophisticated would be the latest version of ChatGPT — short for Chat Generative Pre-Trained Transformer.

ChatGPT does more than chat.  It can write on any topic, even score a pass in medical, history and law exams, and produce original material that circumvents anti-plagiarism software. School-children who are still learning to read and write could print out and submit assignments of Ph.D. standard which they produced in seconds! Teachers of course won't be fooled by such obvious deceit and, if in doubt, could get the six-year-old to redo the assignment with pencil and paper while supervised!

However, at higher educational levels, including scientific research, passing up AI work as one's own could be difficult to expose.

Bita (2023) writes: "AI has the capacity to generate not just fake data, including false or doctored images, but entirely manufactured studies and journal articles. Images generated by AI are becoming increasingly difficult to detect and can compromise the integrity of research findings."

AI including ChatGPT is already extremely sophisticated and ready to move far beyond what humans without it can accomplish. It integrates the intellectual resources, as published on the Worldwide Web, of the entire world.

What does such technology imply for the Bible, the document purporting to be the "Word of God"?
