Eddie Dalton is a gray-haired, soulful blues singer with 1.4 million YouTube views, 230,000 Facebook followers, three songs simultaneously in the iTunes top 10, an album sitting at number three on the iTunes Top Albums chart, and a number-one single in both the United States and the United Kingdom.
He is also entirely fictional. Every element of him, his voice, his face, his persona, his music, was generated by artificial intelligence.
There is no real Eddie Dalton.
Old guys like his music because his music is about old age, and we’ve arrived there. How come we have developed an affection for someone who doesn’t exist? How many things in life have we reached out for that that don’t exist? Someone once told me we are just a part of the universe. Even after death, we just become a different part of the universe, so it doesn’t matter what you believe in.
Don’t you want someone that is real to follow into the future. Someone that is still with you when your ashes are placed in the ground. God exists and He has given us His Word as our guide.
For His invisible attributes, namely, His eternal power and divine nature, have been clearly perceived, ever since the creation of the world, in the things that have been made. So they are without excuse.
And without faith it is impossible to please Him, for whoever would draw near to God must believe that He exists and that He rewards those who seek Him.
Eddie Dalton is a fictional character. God is not. Give it some thought.
