Use of AI

This site is as much an experiment in the use of AI as it is a site designed to provide useful biblical resources. In that spirit, I think it is appropriate to disclose all of my use of artificial intelligence:

• The transcripts were generate by AssemblyAI using their Slam-1 model. I owe them special thanks as they offered me hundreds of free hours of transcription when I told them about the project.
• All of the the resources were created using Anthropic's Claude model. Some of them were generated with an older Sonnet 3.5 model, but most were created using the new Opus 4.5 model.
  • I tried models from OpenAI and Google as well, but the Claude models were the only ones that would stick close to a particular length. They also summarize more capably, ignoring unnecessary information and focusing on what is important.
  • The two Claude models I've used are the only ones that "understand" what I wanted with the "Snippets." The GPT and Gemini models provided responses that were bland and uninteresting. They couldn't distinguish a pithy, memorable quote from the sentences that were just providing background. Claude's ability to do this task well has amazed me.
• I built the public site using Google's Gemini 3 model in their new Antigravity coding IDE. I didn't write a single line of the code, I just told Gemini what I wanted.
• I built a much more complex application as a backend that runs on my computer. It scours the CHBC website for sermon data, organizes it, orchestrates collecting transcripts, outlines, and the rest of the resources, then publishes them to the website. I build that using Claude Code inside of VSCode.
• The world of AI is moving fast, so I should mention that this was initially released in December of 2025.
