I think he is partially wrong. Let’s say a rabbi takes 8 hours to write a sermon. With the right prompts AI can toss out 3000 words in a few minutes. Now the rabbi can tune and/or expand and it will take ½ the time or less, and the rabbi can have the AI do some of the content tuning.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif"><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif">Sermons, of course, are a small percentage of the job, so I suppose that they are OK</span><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:black"><o:p></o:p></span></p></div><div><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:black"><o:p> </o:p></span></p></div><div><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:black"><o:p> </o:p></span></p></div><div><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:black"><o:p> </o:p></span></p></div></div></div></div><span>===============================================</span><br><span>::The Lexington Computer and Technology Group Mailing List::</span><br><span>Reply goes to sender only; Reply All to send to list.</span><br><span>Send to the list: LCTG@lists.toku.us Message archives: http://lists.toku.us/pipermail/lctg-toku.us/</span><br><span>To subscribe: email lctg-subscribe@toku.us To unsubscribe: email lctg-unsubscribe@toku.us</span><br><span>Future and Past meeting information: http://LCTG.toku.us</span><br><span>List information: http://lists.toku.us/listinfo.cgi/lctg-toku.us</span><br><span>This message was sent to mmenzin@icloud.com.</span><br><span>Set your list options: http://lists.toku.us/options.cgi/lctg-toku.us/mmenzin@icloud.com</span><br></div></blockquote></div></body></html>
