Re: Seeing Things Differently -DanP the apologist excuse.

More information is ALWAYS better. Even if it's bigoted, misleading, twisted, or false information. Can't ever have too much dubious information. By the way, more bees is always better. Sounds like what went on pro and con back during Covid. Gotta’ decide who is the arbitrator of truth. Man, does t...

Re: Seeing Things Differently -DanP the apologist excuse.

You keep bringing up this idea that we are rejecting the idea of free will for psychological comfort, yet no one here has expressed that sentiment. The point I’ve made is that free will in the traditional religious use, and that of Mormonism, does not comport very well with agnosticism or atheistic...

Re: Seeing Things Differently -DanP the apologist excuse.

What are some of the arguments against Free Will? LDS Chatbot: The topic of free will is rich and complex, with various perspectives from philosophy, science, and theology. While from a Latter-day Saint viewpoint, free will—or agency—is a central and positive aspect of God’s plan for His children, s...

Re: Seeing Things Differently -DanP the apologist excuse.

More information is indeed better, MG. Let's compare your church's A.I. powered chatbot, to the standard chatGPT bot: The question of the historicity of the Book of Mormon involves both faith-based perspectives and academic inquiry. Members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints believe...

Re: Seeing Things Differently -DanP the apologist excuse.

Why go to church? Renew covenants made with God by participating in the Sacrament administration through the Priesthood Authority of Jesus Christ. True. Teach and learn (reinforce) the principles and doctrines of the Gospel of Jesus Christ. False. As we've seen with free will, you haven't learned e...

Re: Seeing Things Differently -DanP the apologist excuse.

Using A.I. for debating presents several challenges: Bias: A.I. systems can inherit biases from their training data, leading to unfair or skewed arguments. Lack of Understanding: A.I. may lack a deep understanding of nuanced topics, leading to oversimplification or misrepresentation of arguments. E...

Re: Seeing Things Differently -DanP the apologist excuse.

You seem to have a persecution complex, Res Ipsa. As I interact with you and others here I do believe I’ve come closer to understanding you. Regards, MG If by "understanding" you mean "rely on confirmation bias to confirm my bigoted preconceptions of atheists," I'd agree. We’re both in the same roo...

Re: Seeing Things Differently -DanP the apologist excuse.

…all of these A.I. answers are the purest of BS. I think A.I. engines are very helpful in retrieving information and consolidating it accurately. Yes, input may affect output. A.I. has been very helpful in this thread in getting information expeditiously and in a straightforward manner. You are alw...
