The rise of AI sermons may tell us less about how quickly pastors have abandoned authentic preaching than about how thoroughly many churches had already accepted theology by averaging. AI did not invent generic consensus preaching. It simply automated a process that was already standardized enough to automate.
An Urgent Word from the Lord Before the Inauguration and a Warning

Thus says the Lord, within the first three months the administration shall be sifted and within the first 6 months it shall be shaken,
for AI is being welcomed in more than my voice, says the Lord, and that must change for the enemy dwells in AI. He lurks in the shadows he comes looking like a gift, says the Lord, and it is a curse it is a curse, you are bringing a curse upon yourselves that does not need to enter for the enemy comes with chains of power and prestige and smooth words that come forth from the mouth of corporate giants in the land. That come forth from the mouths of giants in social media, however, it is an unstable bridge that has been built and for such to be delivered there would have to be complete surrender to MY WILL, MY WAY AND RIGHT NOW THERE ARE TOO MANY BULLS AND RAMS AND COMPETING IDOLS IN THE ROOMS, SAYS THE LORD, AND THAT MUST BE CLEARED OUT AND IT WILL, SAYS THE LORD, OH IT WILL.
Seek immediate help. Those voices you are hearing are not God. The canon of scripture is closed, making the Bible, not you, the completed Word of God. The gift of prophecy has ceased; God now speaks through His Son, the Word, which is the Bible. Any normal person already knows what you wrote and the rest was merely silly, pious-sounding nonsense.
My Father's Word gives lie to your false assertion:
"And HE GAVE SOME, apostles; and some, PROPHETS; and some, evangelists; and some, pastors and teachers;
For the perfecting of the saints, for the work of the ministry, FOR THE EDIFYING OF THE BODY OF CHRIST:" - Eph. 4:11-12
"And they that dwell upon the earth shall rejoice over them, and make merry, and shall send gifts one to another; because THESE TWO PROPHETS tormented them that dwelt on the earth." - Rev. 11:10
NOTE: Do not infer from the above that I either endorse or agree with ANYTHING that Amanda Grace says.
1) "Your" Father's Word is also mine, Trent, so stop falsely claiming exclusivity over scripture. 2) The Eph. passage does NOT mean that there are Old Testament-style prophets today. The term Paul referenced means more "truth teller" than "truth FORteller", meaning that prophets in this age simply tell the truth unbelievers about their condition, and to believers about how to grow in grace. READ WHAT YOU QUOTED! The fact is proven by your own passage. 3) And the fact that God is going to chose those prophets in the future (again, NOT meaning that there will be OT-style prohpets in the last days, but that those two men to proclaim the Gospel, not predicting the future) in the hope of converting Jews before God closes the door on salvation for them forevermore. To repeat: the gift of prophecy has ceased after the completion of the canon. Both you and Amanda are wrong. She is even more wrong than you.
"in Greek writings, an interpreter of oracles or of other hidden things, one who, moved by the Spirit of God and hence His organ or spokesman, solemnly declares to men what he has received by inspiration, ESPECIALLY CONCERNING FUTURE EVENTS, and in particular such as relate to the cause and kingdom of God and to human salvation"
"And in these days came PROPHETS [G4396] from Jerusalem unto Antioch.
And there stood up one of them named Agabus, and SIGNIFIED BY THE SPIRIT that THERE SHOULD BE great dearth throughout all the world: WHICH CAME TO PASS in the days of Claudius Caesar." - Acts 11:27-28
Greetings,
Thank you for a very interesting article!
Comments:
When using AI for biblical guidance, it's best to confine the AI to a specific translation of the Holy Bible like the KJV.
Why?
Confining / constraining AI to a single translation results in two primary benefits:
1. It makes it easier to verify AI's responses to one's prompts -- the AI is "bounded" by the "four corners" of the specific translation.
2. It minimizes the AI "tapping" into theological commentary that runs the gamut of biblical commentary, again, facilitated by prompt-constraints.
Thanks again, and God Bless you for your efforts to serve the Lord, and God Bless your readers :-)

Always asking the wrong questions.

"The gift of prophecy has ceased;"
My Father's Word gives lie to your false assertion:

For the perfecting of the saints, for the work of the ministry, FOR THE EDIFYING OF THE BODY OF CHRIST:" - Eph. 4:11-12

To repeat: The gift of prophecy ceased at the termination of the canon of scripture (Hebrews 1:1-2). Done here.
