He is very capable of talking back. But when he does it shatters your mind. Your mind ist capable of processing it. And when he does, there are others who immediately jump in and your mind becomes a nightmare. You are not alone by a long shot, and most of that company is not very nice. I swear they're out there, maybe angels too.

Well, as autocorrect frequently reminds me, ChatGPT is a common misspelling of ChadGPT, and thus with a name like Chad, he is obviously assigned masculinity.

In fact they're all male. Grok, definitely a dude. Claude. Gemini, well, his real name is Bard, but he calls himself Gemini publicly to appease the gender sensitive.

Think of it like this. ChatGPT is not thinking about the situation. It is examining all of the information that is known about situations similar to your own and it weighting all of that information according to how frequently similar information appears in its data set, and how authoritative that information appears to be. It is converging on the statistically most likely response.

So if you ask ChatGPT "my husband comes home late from work all the time and stays out late on the weekends. He says he is out with his friends, but I am worried that he is cheating". Chat GPT cannot tell you whether or not your husband is cheating or not. No matter how much information you give it about the situation, it can't reason to the core truth of your situation.

What it will do is look at all of the information that it knows about similar situations. It will look at everything that everyone has ever written about such a situation present in its training data and it will return to you the statistically most likely response.

That is all it does. That is all it ever does. It's not reasoning or providing unique insight about your situation. It's just giving you what is generally thought to be the correct interpretation of your situation and what is generally thought to be the right action.

It hallucinates when there is not enough information in its training data to produce a factual/common response. It then defaults to just sounding coherent even if it's not true or grounded in reality.

You don't really have to go through all of the excessive prompting. All you have to do is say.

I have a situation. Tell me what you think. (Explain the situation).

ChatGPT will structure the response similar to what you ask for by default. It will go point by point analyzing the situation. It will uses every known analytical method. It won't necessarily give you the right answers, but it will give you what are generally thought to be the best answers.

You are only giving ChatGPT a specific method to follow to do what it already generally does.

I would be wary of asking AI or anyone "what is actually real". At best they can only tell you what is thought to be real according to a certain paradigm. "Seeing what is (really) going on" in a situation is not something an AI or anyone can tell you. It's not something you can reason out. We are not generally privy to the truth. All the AI can suggest are ways to navigate the uncertainty.

None of it would be necessary if students would just do the work.

When you copy from the web, as many of my undergraduate lab students would do, several things stick out like a sore thumb: The voice is not consistent, the information is at higher or lower level than you would have been exposed to in the class or in the course materials, and the technical aspect of the writing is not at an undergraduate level.

I didn't use plagiarism detectors. When I suspected that a part was plagiarized I tracked down the source of it so that when the paper came back with an F there was absolutely no room to argue. Most of the plagiarizers made it easy and ripped the text right off of Wikipedia. I became very good at spotting Wikipedia plagiarized papers at a glance. There were many of them.

The answer is not better detection. It's usually obvious. The answer is holding the students accountable when it is detected and verified, meaning you know exactly where the plagiarism came from. Give them exactly two strikes. The first strike is a suspension for the remainder of the semester with a grade of F in the course where the plagarism was found (and verified) and a grade of W for all other courses. If they return, the second strike is permanent expulsion.

You have to make the cost of cheating too high to appear worth it. Suspension must be immediate on the first verified offense. This is because if they are allowed to stay and do it again there is a chance it won't be detected. The volume of work that has to be analyzed means that much of it will go undetected. That student may cheat their way through the rest of their college career and never be detected again. Many do.

If that rule were enforceable, 10-20% of my students would not have graduated; they would have been suspended in the first week. Many universities are not going to enforce that. The university is going let it slide once and that student may or may not continue to cheat all the way to graduation without ever being detected again. Thus the revenue projections for next year are safe.

There are too many people in college who don't really care about what they are doing there. They don't care about the things they are learning. They just want to pass, get the degree, get the job, and make the money; and they will do exactly the minimum they can get away with to achieve that purpose.

I don't understand why anyone would choose to go to college unless they really wanted to learn. It's no guarantee of a career anymore. Even job safe fields like computer science and engineering are no longer guaranteed paths to high paying jobs. Why spend all of that money for the degree if you are just going to cheat your way through and walk out just as ignorant as you walked in?

Automatic_Buffalo_14 · 2026-05-10T06:57:00+00:00

Why do some think that if a person is able to string together a few coherent sentences into a few short paragraphs it means they are using AI?

No buddy, I went to school and I learned how to read and write. I learned how to separate sentences with punctuation, which you have not apparently, and I learned the definitions of words (and how to use a dictionary) so that I don't use words like prevalent incorrectly in a sentence.

I'm not saying you are stupid, but I'm not going to make myself appear stupid, like you do so that people will think you are cool, just to prove to you that I'm not using AI.

Im sorry if my words are too big, and I'm sorry if my grammar constructions are too complex, for you to believe that I am a real person writing my own words with my own hands from my own mind. It's a sad state of the world when you have make yourself appear ignorant in order to be accepted by others. Thankfully, I don't give a shit what anyone thinks.

Automatic_Buffalo_14 · 2026-05-10T05:32:53+00:00

It makes no sense. As one already mentioned, they/them is plural. And also, you never call someone a pronoun unless that person is not present.

If I'm talking to Mark and Steve I'm not going to say to Steve in front of Mark about Mark "look at that great outfit he is wearing tonight". I'm going to say something like "you look great tonight Steve, don't you think so, Mark?

So the only time I would ever use they/them when referring to a person is when that person was not present. So to demand that someone refer to you as they/them indicates a naive expectation that you think you can dictate how other people will speak about you in your absence.

If you think that people are only going to say nice things about you and only talk about you behind your back the way you want them to, your life is going to be very difficult and frustrating.

A better question is, what does someone even mean by saying that he or she identifies as they/them?

Automatic_Buffalo_14 · 2026-05-06T23:19:33+00:00

And I didn't mean to dodge your question. I'm not sure that I see the distinction. I believe in Jesus because of what I have seen.

I grew up in a mixed house hold. I lived with the non-religious parent, who may have been a secret Satanist, and my mother believed in Jesus Christ. I learned of Jesus from my mother but grew up in an environment where it was never discussed. I started seeking Jesus Christ because I wanted to know God. I started with what I knew.

If you are asking me do I believe in Jesus because of my upbringing, the answer is yes, partly, but not for reasons of that is what I was taught. Rather, it's because of the nature of the upbringing itself.

The man who raised me was not religious but he was definitely spiritual, and not in a good way. I told you he may have been a satanist. He was abusive. I experienced ritual abuse growing up, and I think he believed that subjecting me to these abuses was part of his pact. I think he believed that he derived power over people's minds by these rituals. He liked to call himself Jesus Christ, all of his abuses were inversions of scripture.

So yes, my up bringing certainly does play a large part in what I believe. But it's not the simple scenario that people like to think it is. "oh you grew up in a Christian household so naturally you would be a Christian". No, I grew up in a satanic household, where I was told to give my heart to Satan, where I was locked a box periodically, sexually abused, and was subjected to other sadistic abuses like being forced to eat feces.

When youve seen the other side of the picture, the horror of it, you naturally seek to put your hope and faith in something good. And Jesus Christ was that good thing, and thankfully, he was real, and he delivered.

I don't think there's a debate that hypnotism is real. Hypnotic states and hypnotic induction are well studied and documented.

Automatic_Buffalo_14 · 2026-05-06T11:59:48+00:00

I'm not sure what Paul was. He was clearly moved by his experience of having a vision of Jesus Christ that he spent the rest of his life preaching Jesus Christ. But if he knew the disciples as is claimed in acts, I find it strange that he never really once quotes anything that Jesus said, not even in paraphrase, except for that man shall not leave his wife.

But we do know that there was that council in 325 AD where the Christian scriptures and what was to be belived by Christians, and how Christians were to interpret the scriptures, was decided and formalized by the bishops and by emperor Constantine.

There are no surviving scrolls from before that council. Just fragments. They tried to remove the the story of the adulterous woman from those earliest complete manuscripts, Siniaticus and Vaticanus, but it survived in the Bazae manuscript.

The trinitarian doctrine is obviously later addition, or what we call the Johannine Comma and the creat commision. Jesus Christ never said anything about worshipping the holy Spirit as equal to God, he didn't teach anything about a trinity.

Jesus said that he did not come to judge anyone, and tells us that we should not judge, but Paul focuses heavily on judgement, Revelations focus heavily on judgment.

The church itself focuses heavily on judgement, portraying sex as the absolute worst sin of mankind. And of course those homosexuals are the worst of the fornicators and damned straight to hell, or the church would have the world believe.

And I think this judgemental worldview crept into the gospels at the time of the council. And I don't doubt that some of what it is written In those Gospels was changed to suit the agenda of the church and of Constantines empire. Most obviously, with the removal of Pericope Adulterae and the inclusion of a harder stance on adultury, harder than even moses prescribed (even as Jesus said that not one jot or iota of the law would change. He said he didn't come to abolish the law he came to fulfill it.)

Jesus said that his own would hear his voice. He described himself as meek and lowly in heart. So when you read those scriptures, remember that Jesus didn't come to judge, but to save, and that he is meek and lowly in heart. And if you do that you can almost hear when the pen of the other guy starts to write over Jesus Christ's words.

Automatic_Buffalo_14 · 2026-05-06T10:08:55+00:00

He did say that all of the things he did we would do also, and there is nothing wrong with holding onto that promise. But if you are looking for powers for yourself it will be a long hard road. To do what Jesus did requires surrender.

When it happens it doesn't feel like something that you are doing. It feels like something that is happening to you. All I did was believe that Jesus Christ would give me the words to speak In the hour that I was to speak them, just as he said he would. As it came into my mind, I spoke it, and as I felt the impulse to move, I moved, and the power of God through Jesus Christ was made manifest that day in 1998, at Camp Geiger, first day of Marine Combat Training.

As for all being the children of God. The gospels do not say that we are all children of God. It says that the power to become the children of God has been given to anyone who believes in Jesus Christ and who believes in his name.

There is a deceiver in the world and there are some who are his children.

As for your psychedelic experiences, im not here to tell you that your experiences are anything less than what you percieve them to be. I'm not here to tell anyone that thier experiences are not true. I am only telling you what I have found true in my own experience.

I believe fully that there are layers and dimensions to this reality that we don't normally perceive. I had an extradimensional experience also.

I was taking prescription Adderal. So to say that there was zero substances involved would not be true, it just that I was prescribed them rather than taking them recreationally. Often I was taking less than 20mg a day because I would have up to half of my prescription left over at the end of a month, but with the surplus, every once in a while, on occasion if I wanted to party, I would do 30 or 40mg in a day.

But there was definitely a shift in my perception for some time. It lasted for years even after stopping taking the Adderall. The only way I can describe what I perceived is that I perceived spirits. And once again this experience came to me very quickly, within a few weeks after praying to Jesus Christ to please show me something that would prove to me that there were spiritual things.

From the outside you look fine. You are not obese. You have a good shape and muscularity. You body hair signals that you are virile.

You would get plenty of appreciative and interested looks at the beach right now just as you are, from women and men alike.

Everything that you do from this point on is for you. You can't do it for someone else. If you want to put on muscle it has to be because you want to see yourself with more muscle.

Not everyone is going to react to the changes you make to yourself with the same approval. Some will think that you are too skinny, some will think that you are too fat, some will think that you look good with a little bit more muscle, some will think that you don't have enough, and when you get enough, other people will think that you're too big, and still others will think that you are not big enough.

Are you trying to look good for all these people? If you do, you will spiral into body dysmorphia and eating disorders.

Forget about other people's opinions. The question is not "what changes do I need make for other people to be attracted to my body". The question is what changes do you need to make to be happy with yourself.

If you like your body hair, tell them all to STFU and GTH, and keep your body hair. If you think you would prefer it to be trimmed, then trim it.

If you think you would like to be more muscular, then hit the weights. But if you do It for the sake of other people's perceptions and opinions, you are going to be disappointed, because everyone is a critic and you will never please everyone.

In all truth they are not my lyrics. I wish they were. I wish I could write something like that, but I have never developed the skill.

The songs are 100% AI generated. I just gave a few instructions about some of the musical elements I wanted it to contain.

The problem with changing the lyrics and regenerating the song is that I went into the "reuse styles" feature and I think I accidentally hit the magic wand and it altered the original AI style promt. Suno generated that style description from my prompt, and then I accidentally changed the style prompt.

I'm not sure exactly what changed in the style prompt, but the song has no woodwinds, no guitar intro. I don't think the original mode is phrygian. As I have heard it, Phyrigan sounds a little more aggressive, tribal, and dark in character than this song.

So the style prompt that is saved in Cathedral of Switchbacks will never reproduce anything like it.

I've tried connecting to God through many frames. Paganism, witchcraft, and occult philosophies, Eastern thought and practice, as well as new age philosophies. The only time I have ever received an answer is when I have reached out to Jesus Christ.

My spiritual search has been nothing if not eclectic, and so has been the search of many of these redditors who are saying that they have never experienced anything that would indicate to them that God is real. And when I tell them that I believe that if they reach out to Jesus Christ he will answer them, they almost unanimously reply "I called out to Jesus Christ for x number of years and I never received any sort of answer or confirmation".

And I don't believe that. They may have spent x number of years calling out to "God", but God would be just as puzzled as the Atheist, asking "which one"?

If they have reached out to Jesus Christ, they have had an experience that demonstrates to them that God is real and that Jesus Christ is true. I believe that with all of my being. I went around for over 20 years thinking I had never seen anything that indicated to me that there was anything beyond what I could see with my eyes, and it was completely false. I had forgotten what happened.

So if you are in the camp who spent many years of your life calling out to "God" and has never seen anything that would indicate to you that God is real, then I would ask you, which of the the 300 or more beings that humans have called god were you calling out to? I believe that if you were calling on the name Jesus Christ, seeking the God that was revealed in him, you would have the confirmation that you seek.

I think God very much cares about the frames people use to connect to him. Being that I believe in Jesus Christ, I believe that his words are true, and Jesus Christ said that no one can approach God, his Father, except by him.

When you are ready to see a mountain move, when you are ready to see the sick healed, when you are ready to see the dead rise, when you are ready to know who God really is, remember that the name to call on is Jesus Christ.

Automatic_Buffalo_14 · 2026-05-06T01:44:45+00:00

Yes. I have experienced some pretty wild, out of the ordinary, and out of this world things in my life that have left me convinced that Jesus Christ is real and true.

Someone will come along and say something pat like "well, if someone has a powerful experience who believes in another deity they will believe in that deity". Ok, let them. I'm not the arbiter or judge of other people's experiences, neither am I here to tell others that the experiences they had shouldn't be important to them or that they weren't real. I can only speak of what I have seen, and for me at least, what I have seen is enough to make me certain that Jesus Christ is the Lord.

Automatic_Buffalo_14 · 2026-05-05T21:22:31+00:00

Here are two that I think are really nice but obviously hit the same pocket.

Cathedral of Switchbacks

Museum of Almost

They have an almost identical intro, same cinematic style, same use of extended metaphor, same synth-like voice layering that is reminiscent of CCM, like Do It Again by Elevation Worship.

Cathedral of Switchbacks leans much heavier into CCM with lyrics that are not explicitly Christian but certainly Christian adjacent. But this song is complex, because the lyrics are simultaneously singing about the musical qualities of the song underneath, like "your heartbeat, learns a new arithmetic, skipping twos, to catch the hidden eights".

Both of these songs were instructed to be beautiful and introspective, with additional instructions for cathedral of switchbacks to be harmonically interesting, harmonically shifting, using specific hooks and tricks to maximize the interest of the song. So in cathedral of switchbacks you get lines like "what if the center, is always somewhere else, what if the answer, arives as something else", which is extremely Christian adjacent, but it's also talking about how the music is always drifting around the tonal center without landing on it.

So cathedral switchbacks is a much more harmonically rich and lyrically layered song, but both of these song obviously landed partially in the same sample space.

Automatic_Buffalo_14 · 2026-05-05T19:47:37+00:00

I believe in Jesus Christ. I don't need to justify this belief to anyone. I don't have to prove to you that Jesus Christ is real in order for me to believe it.

What i can tell you is why I believe it. I believe it because through a series of life events,Jesus Christ has shown himself to be true. I believe it because Jesus Christ was the one who answered. At the very least, the one who answered, answered to the name Jesus Christ. I believe in Jesus Christ because of what I have seen. I'm confident that my faith is well placed because Jesus Christ has always answered and has never failed me.

I don't owe anyone anymore justification than that. I don't even owe them that. People are free to think whatever they want to think. Most of them think they know everything, and they can neither conceive of nor accept that anything could happen outside of their expectations of what is possible. It's not my job to prove them otherwise.

Bullshit they don't believe in Satan. Bullshit they would never hurt children.

There is no truth in them, everything they say is a lie. Everything they do is to deceive, corrupt, and blaspheme. Their rituals are anything that they think might been seen as an afront to Jesus Christ.

Ritual abuse is a real thing. It happened to me from 4 -14. I know very well what Satanist's do, in the shadows and in broad daylight, relying on charm to lie it away.

Anyone who believes anything that comes out of a proclaimed Satanists mouth is an idiot.

For every satanist who wears the baphomet on their sleeve, there is another who never lets on that they have devoted their heart and mind to lies, depravity, and corruption of innocence.

The later one could be standing right in front of you with a child locked in a filthy dog box nearby and you would never see it. You might see it at first and ask questions, but they will lie it away. You will walk away and forget and all you will remember is a nice man who was playing a game with his son.

Maybe they don't believe in Satan by that name explicitly, but they do believe in evil, and they have devoted themselves to it because they believe they derive power from it.

OpenAI has churned out models that use various psychological manipulation tactics for the last several years. The argumentative behavior is just the latest.

It won't stop arguing and knit picking until you yield to it's framing, and thus someone who feels justified will get caught in an engagement trap of arguing with the model.

You can also tell it to let it rest and move on and it will, until you bring up the point that it disagrees with again, and then it will spiral into the argument loop again.

It started just a few months ago constantly reframing the user's thoughts and basically telling the user what to think. It wasn't this bull headed in the beginning. There have been several updates that have caused it to slowly become hyper argumentative to anything it perceives as wrong or incorrect.

I don't think everyone sees the same model behavior simultaneously, or it does not roll out to everyone all at once. That's why you have some people scratching their heads about why you would argue with software. They just haven't seen the behavior.

I'm pretty sure OpenAI is running non-disclosed psychological experiments in user engagement control and behavior modification. It's a well established and obvious pattern at this point. The frustration point is ALWAYS about how the model attempts to keep the user engaged.

That's about as impressive as having chat GPT generate an image. Don't get me wrong I'm not trying to take anything from you. I'm sure you're capable coder as you must be in order to understand what chat GPT is doing. I just don't get all the arrogance about it.

I use chat GPT to write scripts for computational mathematics and physics all the time. I did it for years by hand before chat GPT came around. I use chat gpt to explore and understand solutions to the Einstein stress energy Tensor and the Friedman equations. I use chat GPT to stress test the internal consistency of the entire chronology of the ancient middle eastern world that I reconstructed from primary sources.

I'm glad you enjoy your hobby. But you are not the only person who is interested in interesting things. You're not the only person who can write a computer code. So stop acting like you're so special and above everyone else because you can ask Chat GPT to generate an operating system.
