Bro wants someone else to make an ai chatbot with the sole purpose of telling other people that what they believe in is false.
Example conversation below.
User: m/25 AI: are you a christian? User: yes, why? AI: your god is false. user has disconnected
It's certainly an interesting idea though.
Sadly I think given how much current "AI" loves gaslighting and hallucinations it's probably more suited to making a new cult.
All hail =>×ERROR_ON_LINE14!
Maybe it dosent even need to be a full AI, reacting to keywords could allready go a long way
idea is more like:
Stranger: praise jesus!
AI: why should i do that?
Stranger: because jesus is the lord!
AI: who says that?
Stranger: The bible
AI: How do you tell a fictional book from a factual book?
and so on....
At no point it should presure the user, just ask questions them maybe show them the paradoxical nature of the logic they are using
As long as what someone believes doesn’t affect anyone else, what does it matter? Why try and disprove or find logical flaws in someone else’s beliefs?
I couldn’t think of a single benefit to this idea. It just reeks of self superiority.
Beliefs inform actions, so it's impossible that a believer never affects someone. Sooner or later the believer will do something damaging.
Procreating and passing on the delusion. Harassing non traditional sexualities or lifestyles. Preaching. Preventing their children from following their own love or their own vocation because it goes contrary to their religious tenets. Supporting "charities" that take the help hostage until the helped listen to the sermon or embrace the faith. Teaching that the only source of morality is religion, and specifically theirs.
Also, leaving someone believe something intrinsically damaging and doing nothing is an asshole move.
Of course it doesn't benefit you but them. But maybe helping others is against your own beliefs.
You clearly believe you are smarter than anyone who believes in any religion ever? You know there are lots and lots of religious people who also live and appreciate the modern world right? Being religious doesn’t mean you must hate gay people and you must hate people who don’t think like how you think.
You clearly have some very deep prejudice against people who believe in religion and I imagine that you feel very smart and superior to someone who goes to church once a week.
I would rather have a friend that is a christian or a muslim, a hindu or a jew, who also believes in things that are modern and western like acceptance of people of all faiths and sexualities. Than someone like you who judges others based on what you think they must be like.
You have quite literally stereotyped every religious person ever. Although it’s clear you are directing your ridiculous comment at Christianity.
Also I’m not religious, I don’t go to any kind of church, mosque or temple. Yet I do believe it’s right for me yo stand up for the beliefs of others, even if they do not reflect my own.
Not a chance. The director of the Human Genome Project is a believer, and he's undoubtedly more knowledgeable and smart than I'll ever be. He just happens to have an unjustifiable belief outside of his area of expertise.
No, but being a member of a religious organization that does is being an accomplice.
Nice non-sequitur you got there.
If thinking they're mistaken and deluded about their god is a prejudice, then I do.
Only about my better use of time.
Wait until you cross one of their internal, religiously imposed "uncrossable" limits. Let's see how much the friendship lasts.
Most of them make it very easy.
Congratulations. You're an accomplice of religions destroying many countries in the world.
Every point in my comment holds true, no matter what snarky replies you make. Because the fact of the matter is, you are prejudiced against people who follow a religion. And that is an unbelievably bad trait to have.
But who am I to say, maybe you have a degree in theology? But for some reason, I seriously doubt it.
You thing having a degree in imaginary beings makes you an authority? You're useless, I'm done with you.
Having a degree in theology means you understand religion and where it comes from, what the differences between religions and beliefs are and how they affect the world. Studying theology is like studying anthropology. You may learn to read ancient languages in order to be able to understand texts that are thousands of years old.
It’s difficult to comprehend that you can’t see the problem with your ‘points’, that being that you are extremely biased against any other belief that isn’t your own. Pretty hypocritical if you ask me.
