Can something written/edited by AI be considered the inspired word of a God ?

I am atheist, ex-born again Christian, and in a recent thread there appears to have been a fair bit of AI "tidying up" going on with a Christians posts.

I am making no accusations of course, nor commenting on the rights and wrongs, but it sure got me thinking about theists using AI for religious matters.

If a Vicar/Minister/Priest/Iman/ Theist etc uses AI, and considers that AI output to possibly be "inspired by God", and if AI can fake it, then, then do Theists believe their God can influence AI ?

It's a rather big can of worms when one thinks about it.

I think AI can be useful (sometimes) in quickly summarising a lot of information, but it's not always very accurate - examples of incorrect citations, thinking people have written books that they haven't, legal cases being cited wrongly.... I put 'power for good' into google yesterday (looking for the green energy cooperative) and got an AI response about something completely different. Also called power for good, but not the thing I was looking for.
People need to be taught to think critically and not take everything they read on the internet as being accurate or true. And that's a skill that's being lost, I think. No one questions sources any more - who wrote it, why, what's their motivation, is it accurate and so on.
And in reading texts when preparing a sermon, a preacher should ask all those questions - when / why / for whom / was this written, what's it's context, what does it say to us today? Christianity is a relational, experiential thing; it's much more than an intellectual exercise, and I don't think AI can relate to that. AI can't take communion, or be baptised, or know what that feels like.

Your may consider some of this religion to be misinformation-but you yourself do not know that for sure that it is. You do not know if hell does not exist. I think some scientists do not rule out the possibility of this existing. What you think is not facts here, it is your opinion and that does not make it misinformation.

Edited

I know for sure when there is factual evidence to prove misinformation. Evidence is there but you won’t look and accept it.
