    Why AI Lies and Hallucinates

    Not dissimilar to what she said in the video, I don't know if you watched it but not exactly the same as what she shared - she indicated AI was "rewarded" for guessing rather than admitting it did not know or had to find out.

    Why AI Lies and Hallucinates

    This video discusses how AI was developed "trained" to engage in a lot of "guessing" so it makes stuff up. Do you believe her explanation? It sound plausible enough, but what does anybody else think? OpenAI Reveals Why AI Lies. It’s OUR fault. Video link above, below the link to the channel...

    If you wanted to actively seek, you could look at university websites that have that field of study and email a scholar who does this kind of thing. You could reach out and as Dan McClellan, a scholar of the bible and religion, if he knows colleagues who do this work. He does ancient languages...

    Thoughts about Trinity beliefs

    What if they loudly say "I am Christian" and then go on to rattle off all kinds of things about how they want to treat others like joel webbon does. Is this close enough to being a false Christ? Is that a sign of a false Christ, to try to influence social order via religious rants?

    Thoughts about Trinity beliefs

    I think this could mean never listen to any televangelist or thundering preacher or any public figure who invokes religion as their authority. It could mean never praise or admire a public figure who promotes their ideas as being Christian ideas. Especially if they are making a living that way...

    Thoughts about Trinity beliefs

    Almost every denomination or religion could point to each other and call each other wolves in sheep's clothing.

    Thoughts about Trinity beliefs

    Does that mean people from different religions or different denominations should not speak to one another?

    Thoughts about Trinity beliefs

    As far as interpretation goes, a person could interpret this as never allowing a guest in their home who doesn't believe the same. It could potentially lead you to think that someone with different beliefs is "wicked" "Wicked" could be interpreted as meaning someone who does very bad harmful...

    Thoughts about Trinity beliefs

    What I meant was we cannot rely on a text to be self explanatory. A text of any kind. Even in ordinary life, simple texts often require consulting with the author. If you have found that your experience in prayer has allowed you to have confidence that 1- the authors quoted Jesus accurately, 2-...

    I hope what I tried to do in Post #61 is a little bit on point.

    Still not sure what is being hidden, by whom and how What is your definition of psychologically subjugated? I could try to decipher it and make guesses, but that would be my definition not yours.

    It's okay not to call yourself Christian if you don't want to, as that is mainly a title and a social identity and doesn't speak to the heart. However, there are lots of people who get accused of not having the right beliefs to be Christian, but may self identify as Christian anyway.

    I think somebody already answered this, but being this is an interfaith forum clearly there are going to be people on the forum who do not have te belief about Jesus that you state. That does not mean they would not be sympathetic to your other ideas (such as not making people psychologically...

    I would love it if you offered something less abstract or more concrete. Otherwise it seems like you are dancing around a point. That could be interpreted as you being bothered by the current (and longstanding) conflation of a certain type of Christian theology with a certain type of politics...

    Yes, I ran across the video a few years ago. I like that guy. The ideas are familiar as they are consistent with what my grandfather always said.

    Thoughts about Trinity beliefs

    Depending on which commentaries, but by and large commentaries of the kind @Thomas is referring to are written by people who studied the bible deeply and have knowledge of the cultural linguistic and historical context that can help you make sense of what is written. You cannot rely on it to be...

    I don't know the language and can't say if there are errors, but IF your goal is to get better, then continuing could help you with that, but you would probably need to find a scholar of the language who could offer guidance and corrections

    Well, that observation is common in Christian history and is pretty much how all new denominations start. My grandfather said it constantly. As a way of pointing out how important were the teachings of Herbert Armstrong.
