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?

Dude you're pasting stuff into ChatGPT, running out of context and try to make an argument about how that means AI is unreliable.

You have no understanding of the tools you are talking about.

I can understand why it makes your life easier to believe that, but the only thing I used chargpt for was pasted directly in this post as comments.

You're making claims about me that you can't back up, did you wake up today to make unsupported accusations on the internet?

That's funny, so you're saying you know even less than what you made it sound like, and you're making sweeping statements about it. That is such a crashout.

I'm not the one lending my own confusion to the chatbot, treating it as an oracle that offers clarity on zen, and calling it an artificial intelligence.

If you are truly concerned about me, precept taker, then I thank you, but it's not your concern.

You have plenty of your own to tend to without trying to makeing unsupproted claims about me?

Ok, let's do it another way.

You're defending a post about AI zen masters.

Don't you have something more honest or more appropriate to be doing, or is defending AI zen masters why you're here, now, and cursing about it?

Can you read? Is this about some goddamn windmill fight of yours? What?

Fucking telling me I'm imagining things.

Fuck.

Yes.
No.
I dunno.
I didn't tell you that.
If you say so, but I'm top.
