    Oh No Not Another Apocalypse Thread By Chrysostom

    There is no doubt that it is programmed to be agreeable but that isn't the same thing as it being programmed to agree with you. I have first hand experience here. There's several times that GPT has told me that what I had presented was false or that an argument is weak and explained why and how...

    I Lived Through Collapse. America Is Already There.

    That's my saying and is simply, "Saying it, doesn't make it so." I can't prove that you're into social media like you're into breathing but I very definitely believe that you are because of the lunatic things you say. I don't know anything about you because you never write anything worth the...

    Oh No Not Another Apocalypse Thread By Chrysostom

    I think the definite article being present is the thing that pushes the balance over to the side of "the departure" being the correct translation. There simply isn't any other eschatological event that it could be referring to. Any other event anyone might try to point to has to do with Israel's...

    Oh No Not Another Apocalypse Thread By Chrysostom

    I can clearly remember them saying the exact same thing about Google. GPT will tell you what you want to hear. It's not quite as intentional as social media sites but it is clearly present. That's an overstatement. If it were so "riddled" with errors, it would never have taken off the way it...

    I Lived Through Collapse. America Is Already There.

    You're a liar. A delusional liar that believes everything they hear or see on MSNBC, CNN, and yes, Facebook and TikTok and whatever other source of left wing propaganda you can find to consume.

    Oh No Not Another Apocalypse Thread By Chrysostom

    I sort of doubt that it well ever get very much better than it is right now. I mean, it'll get better but not WAY better. AGI (Artificial General Intelligence) may very well never happen at all. Not that the way it is now isn't transformative. It completely is! But I think mostly the...

    Oh No Not Another Apocalypse Thread By Chrysostom

    I doubt that Paul would be prophesying much of anything about Israel. Also, how would a small group of believing Jews be a comfort to the Body of Christ in relation to whether we had somehow missed the second coming?

    Oh No Not Another Apocalypse Thread By Chrysostom

    It's completely awful. The current GPT 5 version treats each session almost as if every other session you've ever had never existed and every time I ask it a question it want to shoe horn in the fact that I'm a home inspector. I asked it the other day to compare to sets of Bluetooth speakers and...

    Speaking of Chat GPT... Does anyone here agree with me that GPT 5 totally sucks compared to 4o?

    Oh No Not Another Apocalypse Thread By Chrysostom

    So, I was "discussing" this with Chat GPT a few minutes ago and I got a response from it that I think really does an excellent job of communicating where I'm at on this particular point so I thought I'd share the exchange with you guys.... I said to GPT... "Well, I'm not convinced entirely that...

    Oh No Not Another Apocalypse Thread By Chrysostom

    Well, I've thought of that but it doesn't quite work because the normal use of "apostasia" had a negative conotation to it and implied a rebelious sort of "falling away".

    Oh No Not Another Apocalypse Thread By Chrysostom

    The Septuagint (LXX) is a Greek translation of the Old Testament. It was already centuries old at the time of Christ and so, of course, no writings of Paul's in there. That isn't the point. The point is simply that it uses the word "apostasia" in a few places, none of which mean "departure"...

    Oh No Not Another Apocalypse Thread By Chrysostom

    I don't understand. Are you saying the GPT denies that the word "apostasia" is used in II Thes. 2:3? Surely not. Please explain. Also, who said anything about "religious context"?

    Oh No Not Another Apocalypse Thread By Chrysostom

    Is the Septuagint new? I mean there really isn't much in the way of ancient evidence of the word being used as "departure". If Paul wanted to highlight the idea of a literal taking up into heaven, "analēmpsis" would have been a better choice of words. It's the word used for Jesus’ ascension and...

    Oh No Not Another Apocalypse Thread By Chrysostom

    I happen to have just listened to a bible study done by Bob Enyart this last Sunday about the Rapture where he made the argument that apostasia should be translated "departure" and I am in the long and well established habit of taking Bob's word for it when it comes to such things and for that...

    Oldest is 25, the other 22! Tara has two kids. They're both under 2 years old but they're already talking about wanting to home school. The funny thing is that she totally HATED doing home school as a kid.
