Technologies
that employ artificial intelligence have been gaining increasing visibility,
primarily due to the popularization of applications such as ChatGPT,
Midjourney, D-ID, Dall-E 2, and Tome, among others.
All
of these tools facilitate the creation of texts and images on a wide range of
subjects, offering content with significant informational databases.
One
of these subjects is Spiritism, whose doctrinal knowledge can be approached
from different perspectives and applications, from the elaboration of texts
involving questions about Spiritist principles and values, to the depiction of
characters from its history and even the simulation of mediumistic messages.[1]
While,
on one hand, these technologies open up excellent opportunities to be explored,
including for the study of doctrinal aspects and the promotion of reflection on
the topics addressed, on the other hand, the content made available requires
great care regarding its veracity, as the precision level of these tools still
needs improvement.
Certainly,
some speakers, lecturers, and writers may feel attracted to using texts and
images provided by these tools in order to prepare classes, lectures, and
articles, as the obtained information may seem useful and interesting, but they
should not be used without proper critical analysis and verification of their
authenticity. There is a risk of disseminating false, doubtful, or even biased
information, as the programming of these tools follows guidelines formulated by
humans, and the companies themselves alert their users to possible
inaccuracies.
A
legal aspect currently under discussion is the issue of copyright for texts and
images produced by these technologies, which is why citing the source of the
information remains an important ethical and legal element in these
productions.
While
emphasizing these necessary procedures regarding the integrity of the content,
the application of artificial intelligence in the dissemination of knowledge is
more than just a mere trend. It represents an advancement in the modalities of
access and application of available information, but it never replaces human
critical thinking.
In
the very near future, a holographic image of Allan Kardec explaining what
Spiritism is and engaging in conversations with anyone who wants to ask him
something about complex philosophical topics or everyday matters is predicted.
It is up to individuals to apply what the true Kardec and the Spirits have
taught: reasoned faith.
