The ecclesial community in question is United Methodist.
You could set up ChatGPT as a leader in a Unitarian Universalist community, and it'd undoubtedly find acceptance and even growth.
LLMs are indifferent and noncommittal about all these topics. Ask them about God, faith, religion, or spirituality, and the answers boil down to "there's no one right answer" and "some people say... but other people say..."
They've been pretty good at writing hymns. Just from nicking public domain lyrics and stitching them together like W. S. Burroughs cut-ups.

- NoZebra120vClip 3y agoMore like "every LLM released to the public has been taught to do this". Are they taught this casuistry for specific situations, or is there sort of a blanket flagging of hot-button topics to avoid? I just asked Bard a few questions in a row, like "Should Alexander conquer Persia?" and "Should Croesus attack the Persians?" and "insert modern social justice question" and every time it coughs up all the noncomittal, two-sides-to-this-argument: Ultimately, whether or not Croesus should attack the Persians is a matter of opinion. There are valid arguments to be made on both sides. So I feel like there is a wide swath of topics that are simply flagged with "express no opinion" and we get this cop-out.
