I sometimes wonder about the Bible verse talking about people not being able to find the word of God. With the Bible on the internet, I think maybe the technology all gets destroyed somehow. Now I don't know much about computer compared to some of you on here, so I ask is it possible that the AI could remove the Bible from the Internet and programs like SwordSearcher?
Could AI take down sword searcher?

That seems impossible to me. AI is mostly "really big autocomplete" and pattern-matching. It is bad at doing fairly easy math questions, and it doesn't possess any special ability to break encryption systems that are based on long-standing and well-understood math principles.
There is a lot of hype, and then there is reality.
Just for clarification, SwordSearcher does not use the internet. It runs on your local computer.

In addition to SS being local, there are other stores that sell the CD, plus there are plenty of SS users who can tell others about it via word of mouth. There are also plenty of non-AI search engines that freely showcase Christian websites, so I believe enough people would be able to find out how to purchase SS. I found it on the KJV Store.
I've tried some of the Bible AI tools, and I still prefer SS's KJV search and tools such as Verse/Topic Explorer. SS does such an excellent job searching the KJV, and I was able to use the Verse/Topic Explorer recently to locate what I needed quickly. I did all of this with no AI, no $$$, just the affordable SS engine and a couple of addon module purchases.

Just to clarify, at this point the only place to get the current version of SwordSearcher is the SwordSearcher website, download or disc. There may be some legitimate copies of SwordSearcher still for sale somewhere else but they would be old versions, not the current version. And I would avoid eBay, some of those people are violating the license under which the copies of SwordSearcher they have were sold.

Thanks Brandon. I purchase all my SS upgrades directly from you. I was new to SS when I saw it on The KJV Store website, so that's how I purchased my first copy.
