Questions Concerning the Use of Artificial Intelligence (AI)

Lostpine has been in operation for several decades. Generally, most content has not benefited from AI. However, in recent years, this technology has become ubiquitous in content creation. As such, we have created a statement on how we use AI.

Artificial Intelligence Use Policy

Lostpine is committed to providing biblically grounded, educational, and legacy-focused content that reflects careful study, prayerful consideration, and personal conviction. The use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) within our workflow is guided by principles of integrity, stewardship, and clarity.

Purpose of AI Assistance – AI tools may be used to support the following activities:

  • organizing research and reference material
  • improving clarity, grammar, and readability
  • assisting with structural editing
  • enhancing accessibility and consistency across articles
  • accelerating administrative or technical tasks that do not affect theological intent

AI is not used to generate doctrine, interpret Scripture, or replace the author’s judgment, experience, or faith-based perspective. All substantive ideas, interpretations, and teachings originate from human study and reflection.

Authorial Responsibility

Every published piece remains the responsibility of the author. AI assistance is treated in the same manner as traditional tools such as concordances, commentaries, dictionaries, or editorial support. The author determines:

  • the message
  • the theological position
  • the tone
  • the final wording
  • the spiritual intent

AI may refine language, but it does not define content.

Commitment to Transparency and Integrity

Lostpine affirms that technology, when used wisely, can strengthen the clarity and reach of biblical teaching. We remain committed to ensuring that all content reflects:

  • scriptural accuracy
  • personal accountability
  • faith-centered purpose
  • respect for readers and learners

“Commit to the Lord whatever you do, and He will establish your plans.” — Proverbs 16:3 (NIV)

This verse anchors our approach: tools may assist the work, but the work itself is committed to the Lord.

Guiding Principle

AI is used as a supporting instrument, never as a substitute for spiritual discernment, human authorship, or the mission of Lostpine: to help individuals grow in wisdom, strengthen their faith, and leave a meaningful legacy.

Legal Issues

Lostpine will disclose personal information when required by law or in good faith belief that such action is necessary or desirable to comply with the law, protect, or defend the rights or property of Lostpine, the site, or its users.

Lostpine.com and/or Privacy and Terms of Use Notice Changes

In the future, we may need to change this privacy notice for Lostpine.com and/or Lostpine.org. All changes will be made here so you always know what information we gather, how we might use it, and whether we will disclose it to anyone. 

Conclusion

Your privacy concerns are important to us. We hope this privacy notice has been helpful to you. The date of this policy’s last revision was September 8, 2026. Our email address was updated on May 10, 2024.
