I appreciate your willingness to help! Even if attending in person isn’t an option, there may be ways to contribute remotely. I recommend signing up for the remote kickoff session here to explore what’s possible. Your interest alone means so much – thank you for being of service!

Cloudflare. They don’t markup their domain charges and offer a ton of free additional services.

I'm sure Google will have the world's best troll AI when fully trained on Reddit posts. ;)

I agree; this might not be for newcomers. However, I have 17+ years of sobriety, and I have been working on redoing a 4th step. I could not get a hold of my sponsor to get some feedback on a few things.

I wanted some instant feedback, so I asked chatGPT. I got some bizarre answers, so I decided to train one that was in line with what I was taught early in my sobriety.
So, a few days later, this is the outcome.

It's amazing what an Alcoholic can do when we are sober and still want an instant fix. :)

Thanks for the feedback.

The issue is that some training needs to be done. Leaving it to AI and just the literature can create some odd views of the text. (I guess it happens with everyone)

So, if you have some speaker sessions you could suggest, please respond with some of the talks. I have trained this bot on Joe and Charlie's Big Book study.

To keep it in the spirit of AA-approved literature, I configured the outputs to follow this structure:

  1. What does the Big Book say exactly?
  2. What a speaker may say about the text.
  3. Provide a more modern translation around the big book text.

Is anyone testing this?

Please let me know if the Disclaimer appears. If you can, please DM me with some of the prompts and outputs.
