AI Zen Master

Since it's so easy to drop a Zen text or even multiple Zen texts into an llm and ask questions that the llm will answer from the standpoint of the text?

* www.reddit.com/r/Zen/wiki/getstarted

Doesn't it make sense that there would be a lot less confusion and a lot more interesting conversations??

Plus, if you have an llm answer questions about the texts then who better to explain why Zazen Shinto-Buddhism and Alan Epstein Watts are not part of the tradition?

Serious question.

Where are all my AI Zen Masters at?

I dont care what you think since you havent taken the first step towards learning classical chinese and teaching the forum how to learn in general. Hypocrite

As if it were locked away by words, much less foreign words made less foreign.

It wasn't an argument at all. Don't be a clown.
