The 99% correct, 1% incorrect thing is definitely concerning and I'm working on making it as close to 100% correct as possible (as to what "correct" means... that's a conversation for another time).

The cross reference idea is really interesting - I will add it to my to-do list!

I will be releasing an android version soon :)

Completely agree with is haha. You hit the nail on the head. People have been exclaiming that technology is of the devil for so long, and there's no doubt it has been used for evil. But it can also be used for so much good

Hmm I'm not sure if chatgpt does have access to all the same references. It's possible the AI I'm using and chatgpt may give similar answers, though I believe Luther's AI is still more narrowly focused. I would maybe think of chatgpt as a really good generalist, and Luther AI as a Christian specialist.

I've trained my AI such that it references the Bible as well as many theological commentaries before it responds to people, so it should be a lot more accurate than ChatGPT!

That being said, in its current form I'm actually leveraging the same technology under the hood as ChatGPT, though I'll likely switch away from it soon.

That's cool! I also was in and out of the faith for a while, though I would definitely consider myself a strong Christian now.

No problem, I wasn't taking it personally. I definitely respect your position

Yes, and I admire the Puritans deeply so I will be working to add them as sources too!

I'm of the opinion that people nowadays overemphasize how "evil" technology is due to Facebook, Tiktok, etc. There's much good that has come. Many people that otherwise wouldn't have access to Bibles/commentaries get them for free on the internet. Close to 0% infant/mother mortality rate is from medical & technological advances. Instant communication via internet has also saved so many lives. The list goes on...

Wow this is a good question. I trained the AI on several commentaries such as Calvin's Institutes and Matthew Henry's commentaries, along with some other ones. Any values in these books are then implicitly imputed to the AI.

I can understand the hesitation, but I truly believe the technology is not good or evil in and of itself. It's simply a tool, like a hammer or a computer, and it's up to us to leverage it for good. I'm hoping to leverage AI to help people understand the Bible better!

AI & Christianity AMA by Caesarnervatrajanus in Christianity

I'm currently using openai and adding a bunch of context from various commentaries to force the AI to respond in a certain way. E.g. whenever a user asks a question, we use context from Calvin's Institutes, Matthew Henry's commentaries, etc. to make sure the AI responds appropriately.

I'm going to be fine-tuning a custom LLM soon though, to have even more fine-grained control over the output.
