So we use some Artificial Intelligence (AI) software and I decided to asked it about the Holy Bible and specifically the book of Revelation.
Here is a video of what it said:
To clarify what I wanted I asked the following setup question and below is the exact responses that AI gave me.
My 1st question: Has the Holy Bible been added to your model?
AI replied: “Yes, the Holy Bible has been included in my training data, which means that I have learned from the language and concepts used in the Bible. However, please note that I am an AI language model designed to assist with a wide range of topics and tasks, and my responses should not be taken as authoritative or definitive on matters of faith or theology. If you have any specific questions about the Bible or religion, I will do my best to provide helpful and accurate information based on my training data.”
2nd Question: Which translations of the Bible do you have in your database?
AI replied: “My training data includes several translations of the Bible, including the King James Version (KJV), New International Version (NIV), New American Standard Bible (NASB), English Standard Version (ESV), and others. However, please note that my responses may reflect the language and concepts used in these translations and may not necessarily reflect the views or interpretations of all Christian denominations or scholars. If you have a specific translation or version of the Bible you would like me to reference, please let me know.”
3rd Question: If you read the book of Revelation do you see anything about artificial intelligence?
AI replied: “As an AI language model, I have the ability to process and analyze the text of the Book of Revelation, but I do not have the ability to interpret its meaning or make predictions about the future. The Book of Revelation is a highly symbolic and complex work that has been subject to a wide range of interpretations throughout history. Some people have speculated about whether the book might contain references to modern technology or events, including artificial intelligence, but these interpretations are highly speculative and not widely accepted. Ultimately, the meaning of the book is a matter of faith and interpretation, and it is up to each individual to decide what it means to them.”
4th Question: Are there any other examples or references within the book of Revelation that you see could be interpreted as technology or artificial intelligence?
AI replied: “
The Book of Revelation is a highly symbolic and metaphorical work, and as such, it has been subject to many different interpretations throughout history. Some people have suggested that certain passages or images in the book could be interpreted as references to technology or artificial intelligence, but these interpretations are not widely accepted and are often highly speculative.
That being said, there are some passages in the book that some people have interpreted as having technological or futuristic overtones. For example, in Revelation 13:15, it describes a beast that has the ability to give life to an image, causing it to speak and command the worship of people. Some have interpreted this as a reference to advanced technology, such as artificial intelligence or holographic projections.
Similarly, in Revelation 9:7-10, it describes an army of locusts with the faces of men, teeth like lions, and wings that sound like the noise of chariots. Some have suggested that this description could be interpreted as a reference to modern military technology, such as drones or fighter jets.
However, it is important to note that these interpretations are speculative and not widely accepted. The Book of Revelation is a highly symbolic work, and its meaning is open to interpretation. Ultimately, the interpretation of the book is a matter of faith and belief, and different people may see different things in its pages.”
What are your thoughts on this?
Hey Tony! Love the newsletter!
Very interesting about AI. How does AI gather its information on the Bible? I was thinking it takes information from only what it finds online but I’m not super familiar.
The AI platform I was using is called Marketing Blocks and it was trained mostly for marketing tasks, but also on a diverse range of conversational data, which includes discussions and conversations related to the Bible and its interpretations. This training data includes various sources such as online forums, social media platforms, websites, and other online resources where people discuss and ask questions about the Bible. It also has full texts of most every translation of the Bible within it’s dataset to include the Septuagint and the New Testament in Greek. Hope that makes sense.
