I frequently use the Search function with AI assist. My observations are that the references given for the AI synopsis are always Logos books, and I never see the Bible (ie. a specific translation) given as a primary reference for the answer in the form of Book / Chapter / Verse.
For example, when I ask the following question: "What does the bible say about hearing God?"
AI responds with:
"The Bible offers guidance on hearing God primarily through His Word. One article suggests that being "quick to hear" in James 1:19-20 refers specifically to listening to God's Word, rather than general listening1. This emphasis on Scripture is echoed in another article, which states that God's Word should be our primary reference point in decision-making and that God will never contradict His Word2. The Bible is described as "God-breathed" and useful for teaching and training in righteousness, according to 2 Timothy 3:16-17 3. It's noted that reading the Bible should lead to a deeper relationship with God, not just knowledge of the text itself3. One article emphasizes the importance of comparing any perceived prompting or guidance to Scripture to ensure it aligns with God's Word4. Additionally, it's suggested that as we read and know the Word more, it becomes easier to make godly, wise decisions2"
While scripture is mentioned in the response, neither of the 4 book sources referenced at the end are the Bible.
- Does the AI engine directly use the biblical text in its training?
- Am I missing some kind of configuration or prompt engineering that would allow the AI to prioritize what scripture has to say over other books?
- Am I nitpicking and misunderstanding the purpose or limitations of the AI assist feature?
I will say that generally, I do enjoy using the AI assist daily - I'm interested in seeing it improve.
