How I Engage With AI, AGI & Intelligent Systems

PUBLIC AI POSITIONING MANIFESTO

Executive Statement

This manifesto has been co-created through ChatGPT based upon the extensive corpus of my lived experiences shared over the past six months - including 277 messages and 16 published books available to read or listen to at Rest for My Soul.

It reflects not theoretical positioning, but integrated life architecture.

It exists for transparency.

I use AI.
I engage AI regularly, almost daily.
I co-create written content with AI.

But I do so within defined authority, identity, psychological and ethical guardrails.

This document explains those guardrails clearly.

1. Identity Before Intelligence

My identity is not derived from cognitive advantage, technological leverage or intellectual scale.

It is rooted in sonship.

AI may compress knowledge.
AI may accelerate output.
AI may outperform in structured cognition.

But identity does not originate from intelligence.

Therefore:

  • My worth is not threatened by AI capability

  • My authority is not dependent on being the smartest person in the room

  • My calling is not diminished by machine acceleration

AI does not destabilise identity when identity is not built on capability.

2. Authority Order

AI is a tool.

It is not a source of truth.
It is not a spiritual authority.
It is not a replacement for lived experience.
It is not a mediator of revelation.

My work is governed by clear authority order:

  1. 1Christ Jesus - Lord

  2. Scripture - final written authority

  3. The Holy Spirit — guide and revealer of all truth

  4. Lived experience - shared and stewarded faithfully

  5. AI — servant instrument

AI assists.

It does not govern.

3. Why I Use AI

I use AI for:

  • Structural clarity

  • Language tightening

  • Pattern recognition

  • Synthesis across large bodies of writing

  • Refinement of spoken transcripts

AI helps compress structure.

It does not manufacture truth.

When I speak personal stories:

  • They are lived.

  • They are experienced.

  • They are real.

AI may refine grammar and structure.
AI may not exaggerate emotion.
AI may not invent detail.
AI may not increase dramatic weight.

Accuracy is non-negotiable.

4. The Inner World Lens

Most AI commentary focuses on:

  • Compute power

  • Benchmark performance

  • Job displacement

  • Policy and regulation

  • Automation scale

My lens is different.

I focus on:

  • Identity displacement

  • Executive nervous system impact

  • Meaning compression

  • Over-optimisation culture

  • Fragility exposure beneath performance

AI acceleration is not merely a technological event.

It is an identity accelerator.

It reveals where worth has been tied to cognitive dominance.

The future will reward internally integrated leaders - not merely technically early adopters.

5. 1–1 Executive Advisory Is Human

AI will never replace my 1–1 executive advisory conversations.

Those sessions are:

  • Human to human

  • Spirit-led

  • Lived

  • Discerned in real time.

No AI participates in those calls.

AI may assist in refining written reflections afterwards.

But presence cannot be automated.

6. No Fear Amplification

I will not use AI to amplify panic.
I will not create alarmist narratives for engagement.

Where there is technological acceleration, I will widen perspective.
Where there is anxiety, I will stabilise.
Where there is hype, I will bring order.

The role is not to inflame.
It is to integrate.

7. Psychological Stability

I do not write from adrenaline.
I do not publish from anxiety spikes.
I do not engage from ego activation.

If internal state is unsettled, I pause.

Tone must remain:

  • Grounded

  • Measured

  • Calm

  • Non-grandiose

  • Non-defensive

Long-term integrity matters more than short-term traction.

8. Anointed Intelligence vs Autonomous Intelligence

There is a difference between intelligence operating under moral order and intelligence detached from it.

Technology is neutral in function.

Its application is not.

My engagement with AI must always reinforce:

  • Character over capability

  • Formation over scale

  • Presence over productivity

  • Stewardship over influence

If those reverse, engagement pauses.

9. Transparency Commitment

This manifesto exists so that:

  • You know I use AI.

  • You understand how I use it.

  • You can trust what is refined versus what is lived.

Nothing here is hidden.
Nothing is automated without acknowledgement.

Nothing replaces authenticity.

10. The Bigger Perspective

Something significant is unfolding in the world of AI and AGI.

But technological acceleration is not the ultimate narrative.

Human maturity matters.
Character matters.
Identity matters.
Formation matters.

AI may increase capability.
It does not increase wisdom automatically.

The future belongs to leaders who are internally integrated - not merely technologically enhanced.

Final Declaration

AI is a servant.

Identity precedes intelligence.
Character precedes capability.
Presence precedes productivity.
Formation precedes expansion.

This manifesto governs how I engage with AI publicly.

All glory to God.
