Erik Estrada raises alarm over 'not very Christian' artificial intelligence

During an interview with Fox News Digital, former "CHiPS" star Erik Estrada raised alarms about the growing use of AI and expressed dismay at the un-Christian way it is being used by some of its practitioners

The 75-year-old Estrada, who hosts the reality show "Divine Renovations" that looks at home improvement with a Christian slant, noted that he is growing increasingly alarmed by the growth of on-line deep fakes created by the artificial intelligence technology because it can "destroy lives."

With Fox reporting, "While some deepfakes can be harmless, the technology can be used to carry out scams and identity theft, spread propaganda, damage careers and reputations and manipulate elections,:" Estrada added, "Let's say, for instance, they want me to — they can make up me endorsing horses, or cows, or cow pies. That they're good for you. Nutritious. Have one a day. You know, they can do that. And that's wrong and that's not right, and it's not very Christian."

He added, "It's just not a good thing . They hurt people. They can hurt people. They can destroy lives. They can match me up with a donkey and say, ‘Haha, Estrada is weird.’ You know what I mean? They can do anything with AI, but they should just use the positive end of it. But they won't."

The report adds, "In 2023, Estrada began hosting the faith-based home improvement reality series "Divine Renovation." According to Divine Renovation's producers at Heartlight Entertainment, the docuseries "takes the runaway success of home improvement shows and adds a spiritual element."
