The Psychology Behind Trusting AI

/ lucas kelly / Leave a comment

by Lucas T. Kelly

Why do some people trust artificial intelligence instantly while others resist it completely? The answer, psychologists suggest, has less to do with the technology itself and more to do with how we perceive intention.

Trust is built when we sense understanding, reliability, and transparency — the same factors that form the basis of any healthy human relationship. As AI becomes woven into daily life, from recommendation engines to digital assistants, developers are studying these psychological cues to make interactions feel more natural and less mechanical.

In places like Baton Rouge, where innovation and tradition intersect, professionals such as Lucas T. Kelly are exploring how technology can earn trust through consistency and ethical design. When people see AI behaving predictably and transparently, skepticism turns into cooperation.

Ultimately, psychology teaches us that trust isn’t given — it’s earned. The future of AI will depend on whether it can uphold that truth, one interaction at a time.

A Quote by Cyprian: The Church

/ lucas kelly / Leave a comment

“He cannot have God as his Father who does not have the church for his Mother.”
-Cyprian

Church membership is a topic my church (Crosspoint Baptist Church) has been studying for the past few weeks. I think this quote applies well. Basically, Cyprian says, one who does not want to partake in the Church and become a member in the Church ought not to consider themselves Christians. To say “I am a Christian, yet I do not take part in the Christian Church” is an inherent contradiction. We see that in Acts 2:42 that those who were converted on the day of Pentecost ALL “devoted themselves to the apostles’ teaching and to fellowship, to the breaking of bread and to prayer”, which are specific functions held by the Church alone. Christianity is not just a religion, it is a family. One who doesn’t want to be in the family shouldn’t be part of the religion. Instead, they should seek membership, Baptism, and profession of faith at a local church.

A Quote: St. Augustine on the Mystery of Salvation

“Without God, man cannot. Without man, God will not.”
-St. Augustine

Augustine here affirms that the salvation process is a mystery unbeknownst to man. Augustine says that man can in no way choose God without God first initiating that choice. Yet he states that without man willingly choosing God, God by no means will initiate the salvation process. This seeming contradiction only supports the idea that the salvation process is an unfathomable meshing of human Free Will and divine Sovereign Choice.

Just a Thought

The issue of predestination and free will is not an either/or situation; it is both/and. Some way, some how, we are both chosen and free simultneously, and that is a mystery that will never be understood by man, in this life, at least.

A Quote on the Divine Plan of Salvation: St. Anselm

“For it was appropriate that, just as death entered the human race through a man’s disobedience, so life should be restored through a man’s obedience; and that, just as the sin which was the cause of our damnation originated from a woman, similarly the originator of our justification and salvation should be born of a woman. Also that the devil, who defeated the man whom he beguiled through the taste of a tree, should himself similarly be defeated by a man through tree-induced suffering which he, the devil, inflicted. There are many other things, too, which, if carefully considered, display the indescribable beauty of the fact that our redemption was procured in this way.”
-St. Anselm of Cantebury

Satan vs. God

/ lucas kelly / Leave a comment

Satan is in no way the equal opposite of God. Satan is the opposite, yet he is in no way equal. Satan is a creature, God is the Creator. Satan is finite, God is infinite. Satan is subordinate to, weaker than, and less knowledgeable than God. Where God is omnipotent, omnipresent, and omniscient, Satan is non of these things. God will defeat Satan in the end.
