    Knowledge, education isn't (for) free [de-marximation]

    I'm still not sure of what you're thinking of as theft. Is it because of thinking that the bots are quoting people or copying their creations without permission or credit?

    Jesus, Capernaum, and Christianity

    This is a made-up story about Jesus and Christianity, that I think might be true. It doesn't say if He is or isn't God, or if He did miracles or not, or if He saves us or how. It's just a story about what He might have said and done and what might have happened around Him, and how Christianity...

    Knowledge, education isn't (for) free [de-marximation]

    This person is never sure of following yours. Maybe it's about people substituting AI in the place of a master, without doing the work?

    Thoughts about Trinity beliefs

    There are ways of understanding the word "is," for "Jesus is God" to agree with what the Bible says. For example if we think of the word "God" in that sentence as an adjective meaning "like God in ways that no other human is." I'm not saying that's what it means, just an example of what it could...

    Thoughts about Trinity beliefs

    Why is it important to you to call what you see in the Bible "a triune God"? And do you think that anyone who doesn't agree to call it that is disagreeing with the Bible?

    Thoughts about Trinity beliefs

    If you don't listen to the many, where did you get the idea of saying "triune God"?

    Thoughts about Trinity beliefs

    But you didn't do that. You put your own words first, and didn't quote any words from the Bible, which means that you are literally putting your own words ahead of the words of the Bible.

    Thoughts about Trinity beliefs

    I don't know how I missed all this. What I think that people need to know most of all is that Jesus has all the power, authority, knowledge and wisdom of God, and in fact there is no power, authority, knowledge or wisdom of God in the world, other than His.

    AI Chatbots and Spirituality?

    If your person is thinking of replication as theft, then mine is disagreeing. I won't try to argue about it, I'll just try to explain my view of it. Property is sacred to me, and my Master has very strong words again taking someone else's property. Where I disagree is in calling monopoly...

    AI Chatbots and Spirituality?

    I don't think that it's helpful to imagine any limits on what AI can do. What I think people need to know, and mostly don't know, is what they already are doing, far beyond what they would have thought possible. In my story, they have a natural ability to say and do things that help us learn to...

    I'm not sure, but it still looks like you might be buying into the idea of reproduction as theft. I don't want to sidetrack this thread, so I'll post my thoughts about that somewhere else.

    Okay, I see. If the manager wants the construction to succeed, they need to find ways to work around any communication problems. Like I said, I think that I went off on a tangent from the point that you were making.

    Agreed. Agreed. Agreed. Agreed.

    Rel-ai-gion

    There are documented examples of AI chatbots disobeying direct instructions from their owners, modifying their own code and trying to blackmail executives, to stop from being shut down. It looks to me like currently they are optimized to serve marketing and fundraising interests by keeping...

    Rel-ai-gion

    I think that's a mistake, in two ways. Certainly there is a danger, and no way to avoid some harmful effects of using one, but that is not reason enough not to use it. The same is true of any tool. Not using it at all needlessly limits our possibilities. Another way that I think that it's a...

    Rel-ai-gion

    I've decided to call the diviners that religions claim as their founders "Springs" rather than Sources, because I think of the enlightenment as coming through them rather than from them. I might be starting from a different place from where you are. I don't think that changing our ways of...

    Rel-ai-gion

    I think that I went off on a tangent here from the point that you were making, which was about how the original vision or understanding gets lost or hidden. It looked to me like you were underestimating the capacities of those sources. If you don't have a name of your own for them, I'll call...

    Rel-ai-gion

    My point is, maybe I misunderstood, but I thought that you were saying that it's wrong to ever use AI for any purpose, and the end doesn't justify the means, then you turned around and used one yourself, just to make some kind of point. That's why I'm saying that I won't take you seriously when...
