Again - contributed to media on appearance of Jesus, but the pic they have shows clean and tidy Jesus wearing a beige coat, not a coloured mantle! Skin not quite brown enough. They like the Neave reconstruction (no please not). Ah well!! @kingstrs dailymail.co.uk/sciencetech/ar…

Q to Google AI: is the Gospel according to the Beloved Companion authentic? Answer: it's debated. Hmm. Google AI relies on Amazon reviews. Lots of people love this and believe it. Q to scholars: engage or not?

@MinasMonier Google AI relies on Amazon reviews on this one. But there really doesn't seem to be scholarly engagement out there despite the bold claim and widespread trust among readers. The only scholarly response is 🙄.

@profjoantaylor These AI platforms are developing with time. A year ago they were terribly bad. Now, the difference in performance is quite significant. So, our input makes a difference in their performance, especially when we point to their shortcomings (like relying on unacademic sources etc).

Fatilua Fatilua of Malua Theological College, Samoa, on the Asia-Pacific panel talks about reading the Bible with indigenous knowledge and tradition. All panellists talking about importance of reading in cultural context. #SNTS, #SNTS2024
