But the more that happens, the more I'm hopeful that... or come up with good use cases and stuff.
11:33
I definitely agree with all that.
11:34
And I think it's important to look at that question on the individual level, what is this doing to me? And the societal level, what is this doing to our society? I think I'm actually more interested on that kind of larger social level when it comes to formation because of, which we're undoubtedly going to get into later, the relational nexus of questions around what AI is and why it is that AI seems to speak to people relationally and get used in a kind of relational kind of way.

So I think those things are where that... formation kind of questions really need to be looked so, so carefully into.
12:17
So everyone who works in children and youth ministry, I think that is the primary kind of interest of ours is like, why is this posing as a person? Yeah.
12:29
So to get back to your question about like, what are these big pieces that we need to think through? I agree formation is for sure one of those, but I think we need to kind of name that ethics is, um, a big part of that.
12:45
So it's, I mean, this formation question is basically character ethics, right? So who, what kind of person am I becoming by, by doing this? Um, by using this, what kind of society are we making? And I think that is really, really essential in children's and youth ministry.

And so are there any final thoughts, things that you would really like to say you haven't had the opportunity or questions that you want to pose for other people who are experts in fields beyond youth ministry?
