The AI has learned Jacobus Arminius. Ask it some questions

[AlexB23]

Ahh, another artificial intelligence thread. Right now, I am installing Arminius onto the artificial intelligence. So, my fellow Christians of the Calvinist and Arminian variety and those who have belief systems that lie somewhere in between, ask the AI any question about Arminian beliefs or theology. The AI should be ready by Saturday. Ask one question at a time, and be patient, as the AI takes time to process info (around 10 minutes at minimum to over an hour when my computer is streaming YouTube).

The AI has learned these three documents to cover Arminianism:

Has it learned any Calvin?

As for an assessment of Jimmy Aikin’s ‘Tiptoe through TULIP’.

Yep, it has learned Calvin as well. The AI is not hooked up to video, so it can not compare Jimmy Aikin's TULIP video, but it can compare Calvinism to Arminianism. Welcome to the future guys. Isn't it cool how a laptop from 2018 can run AI (albeit, slowly)? It was never designed to use AI, plus large language models did not really exist until the early 2020s, and become popular until 2023 or so. Laptop based AI software did not really become a thing until the later part of 2023 and early 2024. What a time to be alive.

Specifically, the AI has learned the Institutes of Christian Religion:

Alright, so I will start. The question was generated by a different AI online (Meta LLaMA 405B), but is probably a question that some of us would ask. Sometimes when Mistral AI responds, it may use different sources. Instead of pulling directly from Arminius, it pulled from Cliff McManis, John Anthony McGuckin and the Journal for Baptist Theology & Ministry. Finally, Mistral AI even asked some follow up questions.

Question: "In Arminianism, how does God's gracious presence (prevenient grace) help people make free choices about following Him, considering the Bible (specifically in Romans 3:10-11) says humans naturally don't seek God? Doesn't this concept suggest God influences our decisions, contradicting the idea humans have complete freedom to choose or reject salvation?"

Romans 3:10-11 (NKJV): "As it is written: 'There is none righteous, no, not one; There is none who understands; There is none who seeks after God.'"

Interesting!

 

[AlexB23]

Interesting!

Heck yeah. This stuff is interesting, cos in 2024 machines can now answer questions about theology. A mere two years ago, this tech would have been sci-fi. We are living in Star Trek times. Now, if only robots can do my chores.

Do you have any questions to ask the artificial intelligence about Arminian theology?

No, but I'll send you a pm on a different subject concerning this, so as not the interfere with the topic.

Yep, feel free to send me a PM on whatever you want.
