I read the Bible, Koran, Bhagavad Ghita, Upanishads, Stephen King, Shakespeare, Paramahansa Yogananda, occasional Dean Koontz, David Eddings, Robert Jordan (books 1-9), Eliot, Yeats, Thoreau, Emerson and of course Playboy (for the articles )

I am joking about the last but not because I am opposed to it, I just don't get the magazine

The latest book in the Wheel of Time is a definite improvement over the last two or three.

Yes, I am thinking about it. The last couple have been atrocious in my opinion.

Knife of Dreams.

It was much better than Winter's Heart and Crossroads of Twilight.

The next book is the last.

The ultimate affront to Christianity, the AI Jesus!

 

[lxskllr]

I'd rather read a cereal box.

 

[IronWing]

I don’t think I could come up with a more appropriate use for AI than generating religious texts.

 

[JeepinEd]

I'm an atheist, but I would consider reading the bible. I like to understand other people's thought process and am one of the few who respects their choices (as long as they don't try to push them on me.).

If you start from the beginning, it's so incredibly, tediously dull. For the most part their thought processes aren't based on actually having read the entire Bible though, so it's not a particularly useful way to understand them.

Chat GPT will actually generate stuff to sound like it's from the Bible if you ask it. Building codes are a fun one.

Me: Explain to me the joist span building code, but if it was from the Bible.

Chatgpt:

In the Book of Building Codes, Chapter 3, Verse 16, it is written: "And lo, the span of thy joists shall be determined with wisdom and care, for it is the foundation of thy dwelling, and upon it shall thy house rest."
Verse 17 continues, saying: "Thou shalt measure the length of thy joists, from end to end, and divide it by twelve, for this shall give thee the number of cubits in the span."
Verse 18 advises: "And thou shalt consult the tables of thy builders, which have been passed down from generation to generation, and in them, thou shalt find the maximum allowable span for thy chosen material and dimension."
Verse 19 offers guidance on the safety of thy dwelling: "Should thy span exceed the limits set forth in the tables, thou must strengthen thy structure with additional supports, lest it be weakened and compromised."
Verse 20 speaks of the importance of diligent construction: "Be diligent in the placement of thy joists, ensuring they are level and true, for an uneven foundation shall bring forth crooked walls and misfortune upon thy home."
In Verse 21, it emphasizes the need for adherence to the building code: "And thou shalt not disregard these teachings, for the building code is a shield that protects thy abode from calamity and thy family from harm."
Thus, in following the biblical wisdom of the Building Code, thou shalt ensure the strength and stability of thy dwelling for generations to come.
