I'm sad for the loss of this portion of the French patrimoine. But being Sunday, I'll cite an ancient Rabbi who had some insight on this kind of problem, and call France to recover another French patrimoine that they tossed aside but which is still recoverable - the treasure of la foi chrétienne. “Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moths and vermin destroy, and where thieves break in and steal. But store up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where moths and vermin do not destroy, and where thieves do not break in and steal. For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also. -Jesus Matthew 6:19-21

An unavoidable implication seems to be that Jewish and Muslim and other non-Christian people are a problem. What results has that approach yielded in the past? Were those results fit for the Christian or any other faith? What fruit does that tree bear? You could pursue your faith, and let others pursue theirs. That approach - liberty, fraternity, equality - has yielded wonderful results around the world. Maybe you would set an example for others that would inspire them to admire and consider your faith rather than suspect it as a threat, or for those who have suffered at its hands, hate it as an enemy.

    A sufficiently stupid person is indistinguishable from a sufficiently advanced LLM.

      nah. an advanced LLM is very, very good at mimicking a person. the downvoted post above is low effort attempts to inject a race-religion controversy there are plenty of breakdowns on how to do this, successfully, mathematically; e.g. https://arxiv.org/pdf/2306.12982 https://arxiv.org/pdf/2306.12982

        Furthermore, the first post of this thread is a religion person talking about christian faith out of nowhere. There's no need for LLMs to have low efforts attempts on social media, people already do that.
