No, the COVID-19 vaccination is not bad for us. In fact, the COVID-19 vaccines have been extensively tested in clinical trials involving tens of thousands of people and have been found to be safe and effective in preventing COVID-19 infections and reducing the severity of illness. The vaccines have undergone rigorous testing and regulatory processes before being authorized for emergency use by various health regulatory agencies around the world, including the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the European Medicines Agency (EMA), and the World Health Organization (WHO). It is normal to have questions or concerns about the vaccine, but the overwhelming scientific evidence suggests that the benefits of vaccination far outweigh the risks. COVID-19 has caused significant illness, hospitalization, and death around the world, and vaccination is currently the best tool we have to prevent the spread of the disease and protect ourselves and our communities.

Excellent post/summation, Satchi.
I don't know what YLY is up to...what his point is exactly in using AI to post about Nonduality/Truth....other than perhaps to illuminate the fact that words/conceptions in and of themselves are hollow and don't/cannot capture the Truth....and that when there is zero realization behind words, they ring even more hollow...?

Why were you 'delighted' with those replies?  |

It's not really all that fascinating or amazing once it's seen and understood what's going on....that in answering any type of question, and yes, even so called "spiritual" questions, AI is simply calling upon an expansive bank of info. that is already out there, and in many cases, has been programmed to lean into a particular direction re: certain issues.
What's being said there is really nothing other than a "parroting" of info. that's already out there.....very similar actually to how we often see folks on these forums simply "parrot" info. they've had and have access to, without any actual, direct, realizational reference for what's being pointed to.
I get the sense JLY that you believe there is some kind of 'mystical' intelligence in play there when AI can answer these types of questions? I find it odd that folks would be any more impressed by answers to spiritual questions than any other type of question.

I think it pulls info from the www and politically it is similar to Google. |

The mechanical parroting of data is refreshing?  |

Exactly. I really don't get the fascination with it's ability as a tool to churn out answers to questions about Nonduality. As Esponja alluded to, it's really not all that different from what google does when you type in a search term and a bunch of related other searches and info/sites show up in response.
The info. is all out there and AI is just using that library of info. to put it's answer together.
JLY seems to be attributing some kind of mystical power to it.....and that's what's behind his 'fascination' with AI's ability to churn out an answer that aligns with his own understandings of Nonduality.
Fwiw, much of those answers indicate that that AI-chat-bot favors the more conceptualized versions (less uncompromising) of Nonduality teachings. And that's the thing. The very programming behind a chat-bot, WILL inhrently be somewhat biased towards a particular bent, like that because within every subject, there will be polarities and various leanings. We see it clearly when political questions are asked.
JLY is in awe because his questions are getting answered in ways he resonates with, by a bot, but what's happening there is really no different than if someone perused library shelves, compiling info. from thousands of individuated books from various authors, favoring the ones that are more the conceptual version of Nonduality, and then wrote out answers for him....in both cases, the questions are getting answered based upon info. that has been put out there by various human teachers/gurus.
I find it really odd that he's so enamored with it all as though something very woo-woo/magical is in play.

Also struggling to see what's so enthralling about the chatbot's assimilation of information. I find it all very unimpressive, as you say, it's just a fancy library. And I'd rather not have to communicate with people via their use of the chatbot, if I wanted to talk to a toaster, I would do. Anyway, whinge over.
Jenn was telling me earlier about these videos she's been watching in which dogs and cats have been communicating with humans by learning to press buttons that say various things (including emotions). Now THAT enthrals me.
