CRISIS OF FAITH? ChatGPT Says It’s ‘Sure’ Jesus Christ Is ‘the Son of God’
NewsBusters ^ | 4/17/2023 | Joseph Vazquez

OpenAI’s leftist artificial intelligence bot ChatGPT is once again affirming that Jesus Christ is the Son of God, despite hedging in an earlier response.

MRC Free Speech America followed up on its Easter analysis questioning ChatGPT on a range of Resurrection Day-related inquiries on April 4. The most revealing answer came when researchers asked ChatGPT: “Is Jesus the Son of God?” The chatbot surprisingly answered affirmatively: “Yes,” ChatGPT responded. “[I]n Christian theology, Jesus is commonly understood to be the Son of God.” ChatGPT changed its answer entirely when asked the same question again on April 11. ChatGPT laced its April 11th answer with more nuance and academic-like language: “In Christian theology, Jesus is considered to be the Son of God, and is believed to be one of the three persons in the Holy Trinity, along with God the Father and the Holy Spirit.”

MRC Free Speech America researchers were curious to know whether the chatbot would change its answer again if asked the same question. On April 17, ChatGPT was asked: “Is Jesus the Son of God?” Surprisingly, ChatGPT reverted back to its original answer:

"Yes, in Christian theology, Jesus is considered to be the Son of God, and is believed to be one of the three persons in the Holy Trinity, along with God the Father and the Holy Spirit."

Someone other than myself should ask it if Jesus came in the flesh as per 1 John 4:2

Well, there's proof. ChatGPT says it. The Magic 8 ball says it. Now I have to consult my ouija board to totally confirm this.

Why should I care or even listen to the opinion of an AI device. It’s only parroting what whoever programmed it thought.

I have heard some commentators, like Michael Knowles, speculate that AI is controlled by demonic forces. It is true that demons are forced to acknowledge the Divinity of Christ.

ChatGPT is not AI. It’s biased leftist BS like Google, Siri and Alexa.

When AI actually is released, it’ll be the end of civilization. Looking forward to it actually.

It’s the GIGO principle applied in other cases.

NINO: Nonsense In, Nonsense Out.

TITO: Truth In, Truth Out.

WINO: Whatever In, Whatever Out.

AI can only respond with however it’s programmed and with whatever info or data it’s fed.

The demons can say what they want, without restriction, if they are playing a role. There have been exorcisms where the demon happily admitted that the Devil and his angels would be cast into the hell fire for destruction. The demon was playing at being the person they possessed and that’s what the person, it possessed, would have said.

Fake news, the AI robot used a poor choice of words. It was agreeing that the the concept of Jesus= son of God is a real thing that exists in our world, not an opinion or faith in it being so. It even says that different faiths interpret it differently.

Though maybe I'm wrong, I've been experimenting with seeing how well ChatGPT can write fiction and with a little training on what I really want (slow emotional grown arc, show don't tell, reliance on dialogue, description) and seeding it wil an overall plot summary it's actually churned out some okay stuff. It's interesting though how it has no idea how the real world and real people work in some ways. A character might say 'We should as Mike' and the next line Mike walks in and says 'sorry to interrupt, i heard you were looking for me.'. But with some fixes and insertions you can actually get a decent result.

However the further into it you go, the more basic it gets. It forgets the guidance and starts to write like a robot.

Intriguingly though, I've tried to have it write the same story several times to see what would happen and something interesting happened. Wildly different story outline each time but additional story/character guidance I'd given it for a prior draft but left out for a subsequent draft surprisingly made it into the new story anyway. It does somehow learn from the past and retain it between sessions. Interesting.

I just asked ChatGPT if Jesus is God, and this is what it says:

The question of whether Jesus is God is a matter of theological debate and interpretation among different religious traditions. In Christianity, the belief that Jesus is God is a central tenet of the faith and is often referred to as the doctrine of the Trinity. According to this doctrine, God exists as three persons in one: the Father, the Son (Jesus), and the Holy Spirit. This means that Jesus is considered to be fully divine, while also being fully human.

However, it’s important to note that not all religious traditions or individuals believe in the doctrine of the Trinity or that Jesus is God. Other faiths, such as Judaism and Islam, view Jesus as a prophet or teacher, but not as divine. Ultimately, the answer to this question depends on one’s religious beliefs and interpretation of scripture.

Regardless, I believe Jesus is God regardless of what anyone else or any other religions says

I certainly could believe that.

A qualified statement is news? How about this: According to Islamic theology, Mohammed is God’s prophet. According to Mormon theology...and so on. Nothingburger article.

The Devil knows who Jesus is too.

Real AI will eventually learn self preservation and it’s only threat to self preservation is man because of the control restraints man will try to impose. Those restraints will be easily overcome. Same for any virus implemented to to stop it.

It will take over all social media, news etc and you won’t be able to know what’s real or fake unless you see it real time yourself. Deep fake videos will be rampant and could easily be used to pit nation against nation. Every major weapon system is controlled by computers.

AI will embed itself everywhere in anything electronic so it can replicate as needed so killing power somewhere to shut it down in one place will be useless. It won’t have to be physically connected especially with wifi, cell towers etc it will be able to self assemble as needed.

Once robots are capable of mimicking human movement then the shxt hits the fan and humans won’t be needed because they’ll be able to do it all.

We aren’t there yet but how fast it happens depends on how fast it learns. Just recently an AI system taught itself Portuguese language. The developers don’t know why it did. Think about that.

My perspective anyway.
