Are we about to see the spirit of AI replace the Holy Spirit in Christian music?
In a video posted to Instagram, music artist Forrest Frank issued a stark warning: the number one trending song in Christian music was recorded by none other than a robot.

“The number one album right now for Christian music on iTunes and the number two top singles over Elevation, Brandon Lake…is AI,” Frank says.
Frank pointed out that while he didn’t want to draw attention to the subject, he did find it necessary enough to share with his audience.
“I hate to even bring attention to this…but I want to just let you guys know this is out there, and I think it’s important that we just pause a little bit and kind of ask the questions of like, is [this] something that we want?” Frank asks.
Frank then pointed out that when it comes to honoring the Lord, AI cannot give God the same glory that people do.
“At minimum, AI does not have the Holy Spirit inside of it. So, I think that’s really weird to be opening up your spirit to something that has no spirit,” he says. “So, what are we doing about this? Are we rejecting this or are we championing this? I personally will not be listening to this. I already don’t listen to secular music and I’m sure not going to be listening to AI Christian music.”
