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?

If you're willing to say all of that; you, as someone who supports the precepts, I don't think we have anything else to say to one another right now.

Are you ok?

Guy comes in, says why don't people use hammers. You go screeching at him about hammers are the worst and he shouldn't worship them as Buddhas. I tell you that is silly behavior. You ask me if I'm okay.

That's still silly behavior. If you're all about the precepts you should apply them and search your certificates for wtf happend to make you act like this.

You're telling stories to reframe the situation instead of just being reasonable.

You haven't been reasonable. Telling you you're doing silly stuff is what's reasonable.

That's mischaracterization. You're doing silly stuff.
