The use of "Palestine" before the term existed.

Several times, I have used "AI" and received a response using the term "Palestine" when there should have been a reference to Judah. One such response was in reference to the "Magi." Another response was related to an event in Jesus's life.

This is the very thing I feared about using "AI."

I would like to hear about other users' feelings.

    Has nothing to do with AI. "Palestine," from the Greek, Πᾰλαιστῑ́νη, goes back at least to the time of Herodotus. It's also found in Hebrew (פלסטיני). It merely refers to a region. If you run a precise search for the word, you'll get lots of hits, such as "Palestine in the Time of Christ"—some from much older sources.
