Which is technically correct, since you are answering "What is [the answer]?"

Just to clarify - so you don't believe in any of the supernatural stuff and are just about the better teachings of Jesus? Aka a Jefferson bible take?

Funny, but also not a bad idea, as you can ask it to clarify on things as you go. I just reference that YT channel because he has a great ability to visually show things to help them make sense.

A nitpick, none of the gospel writers were eyewitnesses, the documents were written long after Jesus was gone. They are interpretations of stories passed down, and all four gospels have different takes on events. So the phrase "gospel truth" is very ironic in its definition.

One step might be to try and understand the basic principles behind what makes a LLM function. The Youtube channel 3blue1brown has at least one good video on transformers and how they work, and perhaps that will help you understand that "reasoning" is a very broad term that doesn't necessarily mean thinking. What is going on inside a LLM is fascinating and amazing in what does manage to come out that's useful, but like any tool it can't be used for everything well, if at all.

How trustable the answer is depends on knowing where the answers come from, which is unknowable. If the probability of the answers being generated from the original problem are high because it occurred in many different places in the training data, then maybe it's correct. Or maybe everyone who came up with the answer is wrong in the same way and that's why there is so much correlation. Or perhaps the probability match is simply because lots of math problems tend towards similar answers.

The core issue is that the LLM is not thinking or reasoning about the problem itself, so trusting it with anything is more assuming the likelihood of it being right more than wrong is high. In some areas this is safe to do, in others it's a terrible assumption to make.

I never considered that approach, but that would sound like a convenient excuse and the religious "forgive the sins" people will eat it up, blind to how he acts the same now as he did then.

The thought experiment goes past everyone's point on gravity eventually creating a velocity that is devastating. What would such a mass (between 100 and 180 km in diameter based on map of Corsica) do if it just magically settled gently onto a land mass and then gravity came into play? It wouldn't be extinction level, but there are lots of regional effects to consider. Weather patterns would be a huge one. Continental plate deflection, which would affect ground stability and water flow. Certainly earthquakes if anywhere near even smaller fault lines. A change in Earth rotational speed and wobble.

Can't refuse something that doesn't have a basis of believing. But if presented with something substantial to sway that opinion (God would know what would work, presumably) I'd accept, with conditions. First being the ability to opt out of eternity at some point, because even total bliss unending could be torture if you're aware of that sense of time. Second, I've got a few questions for this supreme being about his past work and moral choices.

If it ended like in Heinlein's "Job: A Comedy of Justice" I'd be okay with both the eternity and the answered questions.

Heaven is spending eternity singing "glory, glory" to a narcissist. So it's just a form of hell.

Lions are pretty strong, right? While the armor could protect from being mauled or clawed, the impact of those hits would add up. That's why things like the mace and other blunt instruments came to be.

And given the title and lack of comma, the lion in full armor is a given, easily.

Which is why the case for having tactile buttons instead of a screen is so strong. You can use feel to use these controls while still watching the road.
