    I didn’t say the tech won’t improve, I said the basis of the point being made - to educate the religious away from religion - won’t occur. That has everything to do with challenging philosophical conjectures or unproven belief systems, and nothing to do with ChatGPT’s ability to produce content that could be convincing or build upon it given more input.

    Part of my work involves using and integrating ChatGPT with other systems. I see the the evolution right in front of my every day, and it doesn’t make a damn bit of difference to my point.

      It’s often hard to see the forest when you are focused on the trees.

      If you read the article, look at what changed his mind, look at other deconversion stories, and look at where the tech is going in ~3 years, then I guess I just really don’t see it the same way as you, as to my eye it will make quite a bit of damn difference when someone beginning to question can have the heavy lifting of self-education significantly reduced.

        If you’re willing to extrapolate the experience of one believer and their opinion, then yes, but that’s not enough for me.

        And treating my experience working directly with said technology as narrower than it is, is your prerogative, but I don’t know why you’d expect me to take your opinion seriously after doing so.
