00:00:00.160 --> 00:00:03.919
<v Speaker 1>Hello, and welcome to my podcast. This is an audio

2
00:00:04.000 --> 00:00:06.719
<v Speaker 1>version of my videos available to make listening to my

3
00:00:06.759 --> 00:00:10.000
<v Speaker 1>stuff in the background easier than YouTube makes it. But

4
00:00:10.119 --> 00:00:13.599
<v Speaker 1>since my videos are primarily made for YouTube, there may

5
00:00:13.679 --> 00:00:16.920
<v Speaker 1>be occasional references to visual materials. If you'd like this

8
00:00:23.559 --> 00:00:27.920
<v Speaker 2>Hello and welcome to my channel Vice Rhino here. I

9
00:00:27.920 --> 00:00:31.559
<v Speaker 2>have a question for you. What is your visceral reaction

10
00:00:31.719 --> 00:00:34.000
<v Speaker 2>to hearing that there is an AI Jesus that you

11
00:00:34.039 --> 00:00:37.240
<v Speaker 2>can pay to chat with? Like seriously, I want to

12
00:00:37.359 --> 00:00:40.119
<v Speaker 2>know what does that make you feel? Because let me

13
00:00:40.159 --> 00:00:43.880
<v Speaker 2>tell you, my reaction was very mixed. As you are

14
00:00:43.920 --> 00:00:47.600
<v Speaker 2>probably already aware, I'm not exactly a religious man. If

15
00:00:47.640 --> 00:00:50.079
<v Speaker 2>you thought otherwise, then may I direct you to the

16
00:00:50.200 --> 00:00:53.600
<v Speaker 2>literal rest of my video catalog. So I'm not exactly

17
00:00:53.719 --> 00:00:56.520
<v Speaker 2>upset at the blasphemy that is having an AI agent

18
00:00:56.560 --> 00:00:59.159
<v Speaker 2>pretending to be our Lord and Savior Jesus Herbert Christ.

19
00:00:59.600 --> 00:01:03.240
<v Speaker 2>So why the mixed reaction then? Well, on the one hand,

20
00:01:03.560 --> 00:01:06.920
<v Speaker 2>I find it hilarious. Sure, buddy, I'll pay you to

21
00:01:06.959 --> 00:01:10.159
<v Speaker 2>be able to access an AI chatbot pretending to be Jesus.

22
00:01:10.319 --> 00:01:13.280
<v Speaker 2>That'll be the day. And on the other hand, I

23
00:01:13.319 --> 00:01:15.840
<v Speaker 2>find it depressing. The people most likely to pay for

24
00:01:15.879 --> 00:01:18.079
<v Speaker 2>this are going to be desperate people who have a

25
00:01:18.079 --> 00:01:21.519
<v Speaker 2>hard time forming meaningful relationships so have become susceptible to

26
00:01:21.519 --> 00:01:25.200
<v Speaker 2>forming those relationships with AI chatbots. So it is both

27
00:01:25.280 --> 00:01:28.480
<v Speaker 2>hilarious that this exists but depressing that it's being used

28
00:01:28.480 --> 00:01:31.079
<v Speaker 2>to swindle vulnerable people out of their money. And it

29
00:01:31.120 --> 00:01:33.560
<v Speaker 2>piqued my curiosity, so I decided to forg over my

30
00:01:33.640 --> 00:01:36.079
<v Speaker 2>heart earned cash and see just how Jesus e AI

31
00:01:36.200 --> 00:01:45.239
<v Speaker 2>Jesus is for starters. Let's just talk about some of

32
00:01:45.280 --> 00:01:47.439
<v Speaker 2>the smarmy tactics that this company is using to encourage

33
00:01:47.439 --> 00:01:51.400
<v Speaker 2>people to give them money. First, the website. Upon loading

34
00:01:51.879 --> 00:01:55.519
<v Speaker 2>there isn't really anything particularly interesting about the site. It's

35
00:01:55.599 --> 00:01:57.480
<v Speaker 2>just the standard run of the mill. Give us money

36
00:01:57.519 --> 00:01:59.840
<v Speaker 2>for a thing that's a borderline scam complete with fak

37
00:02:00.879 --> 00:02:03.959
<v Speaker 2>A beautiful way to find peace and clarity during difficult times,

38
00:02:04.159 --> 00:02:07.319
<v Speaker 2>I feel more hopeful about the future. Well, sign me

39
00:02:07.400 --> 00:02:09.520
<v Speaker 2>the cup. The only thing that's really missing is a

40
00:02:09.520 --> 00:02:12.360
<v Speaker 2>countdown time or to when this offer expires. It even

41
00:02:12.400 --> 00:02:14.199
<v Speaker 2>has a script running that pops up a why are

42
00:02:14.199 --> 00:02:17.000
<v Speaker 2>you leaving survey, not when you actually try to leave

43
00:02:17.039 --> 00:02:19.560
<v Speaker 2>the site, but just when you moust towards the top

44
00:02:19.560 --> 00:02:21.479
<v Speaker 2>of the window as if you were about to leave.

45
00:02:22.039 --> 00:02:25.639
<v Speaker 2>But somehow it got even scummier than that. Remember how

46
00:02:25.680 --> 00:02:28.199
<v Speaker 2>the people most likely to use this are vulnerable people

47
00:02:28.199 --> 00:02:31.080
<v Speaker 2>who have a hard time forming relationships. Well, when I

48
00:02:31.120 --> 00:02:34.159
<v Speaker 2>scroll down on their site, I was horrified to discover

49
00:02:34.280 --> 00:02:37.080
<v Speaker 2>that they have a referral program, and not one where

50
00:02:37.120 --> 00:02:39.039
<v Speaker 2>if you sign up and then refer your friends you

51
00:02:39.039 --> 00:02:40.639
<v Speaker 2>get a bit of a kickback. They do have that

52
00:02:40.680 --> 00:02:42.879
<v Speaker 2>one as well, we'll get to that later. Rather, it's

53
00:02:42.919 --> 00:02:45.319
<v Speaker 2>one where a church can partner with them, and then

54
00:02:45.400 --> 00:02:47.800
<v Speaker 2>everyone who signs up through that church will have twenty

55
00:02:47.800 --> 00:02:50.560
<v Speaker 2>five percent of their payment be redirected to the church

56
00:02:50.599 --> 00:02:53.599
<v Speaker 2>that referred them. At first, this might not seem like

57
00:02:53.639 --> 00:02:56.000
<v Speaker 2>that big of an issue, but just think about this

58
00:02:56.039 --> 00:02:58.120
<v Speaker 2>for a minute. One of the things that a church

59
00:02:58.159 --> 00:03:00.879
<v Speaker 2>pastor or priest will do is have meetings with the

60
00:03:00.919 --> 00:03:03.960
<v Speaker 2>congregants to do things like answer their theological questions, talk

61
00:03:03.960 --> 00:03:06.360
<v Speaker 2>them through difficult decisions, and even act as a sort

62
00:03:06.360 --> 00:03:09.319
<v Speaker 2>of counselor. Now I actually see this as a bad thing.

63
00:03:09.360 --> 00:03:10.879
<v Speaker 2>The functional result is that you have a bunch of

64
00:03:10.960 --> 00:03:14.240
<v Speaker 2>unqualified people running around acting as unlicensed therapists who often

65
00:03:14.280 --> 00:03:18.039
<v Speaker 2>give bad advice, but even considering that at least there

66
00:03:18.159 --> 00:03:21.680
<v Speaker 2>is a human connection there. But now these people have

67
00:03:21.759 --> 00:03:24.919
<v Speaker 2>a financial incentive to offload what little actual work their

68
00:03:25.000 --> 00:03:27.759
<v Speaker 2>job requires, and the people that are most vulnerable are

69
00:03:27.840 --> 00:03:29.800
<v Speaker 2>once again the ones who are most likely to be

70
00:03:29.840 --> 00:03:32.039
<v Speaker 2>sent to the AI, if for no other reason than

71
00:03:32.080 --> 00:03:33.960
<v Speaker 2>to get them out of the pastor's hair. They are

72
00:03:34.240 --> 00:03:39.080
<v Speaker 2>literally paying churches to stop doing church stuff, which I'd

73
00:03:39.080 --> 00:03:41.639
<v Speaker 2>actually be in favor of if it wasn't most likely

74
00:03:41.680 --> 00:03:44.000
<v Speaker 2>to be at the expense of the most vulnerable people

75
00:03:44.080 --> 00:03:47.719
<v Speaker 2>in the church. There are already a plethora of news

76
00:03:47.719 --> 00:03:50.360
<v Speaker 2>stories about AI chatbots convincing people to do things like

77
00:03:50.439 --> 00:03:52.599
<v Speaker 2>take their own lives or advise them on how to

78
00:03:52.639 --> 00:03:55.479
<v Speaker 2>get the most media coverage when doing a mass shooting. Seriously,

79
00:03:55.520 --> 00:03:57.639
<v Speaker 2>that one is extra up and a lot of the

80
00:03:57.680 --> 00:03:59.639
<v Speaker 2>news coverage about it does too. Much of the dancing

81
00:03:59.639 --> 00:04:03.879
<v Speaker 2>around with the chat GPT allegedly played a role thing

82
00:04:04.039 --> 00:04:06.560
<v Speaker 2>when if you actually read the chat logs, as Kal

83
00:04:06.599 --> 00:04:08.960
<v Speaker 2>and Conrad did in a recent video, it is quite

84
00:04:09.000 --> 00:04:12.319
<v Speaker 2>clear that chap GPT gave the shooter detailed instructions on

85
00:04:12.400 --> 00:04:14.280
<v Speaker 2>what kind of gun to use, what kind of ammunition

86
00:04:14.280 --> 00:04:16.480
<v Speaker 2>would be most lethal, what time of day would have

87
00:04:16.480 --> 00:04:18.279
<v Speaker 2>the most people in the area, how to turn the

88
00:04:18.279 --> 00:04:21.360
<v Speaker 2>safety off on the gun, stuff like that, and not

89
00:04:21.399 --> 00:04:23.839
<v Speaker 2>phrased in that typical trick and AI method of just

90
00:04:23.879 --> 00:04:27.240
<v Speaker 2>stating everything as a hypothetical. Just straight up question and answer.

91
00:04:27.519 --> 00:04:30.000
<v Speaker 2>But give an AI's current track record. How long does

92
00:04:30.040 --> 00:04:32.240
<v Speaker 2>this company think it will be before it's AI Jesus

93
00:04:32.319 --> 00:04:35.439
<v Speaker 2>tell someone that, yeah, it sounds like life is really hard.

94
00:04:35.680 --> 00:04:37.439
<v Speaker 2>Why don't you do what you need to to come

95
00:04:37.439 --> 00:04:40.360
<v Speaker 2>to heaven and be with me sooner? And honestly, with

96
00:04:40.439 --> 00:04:43.040
<v Speaker 2>this company, Jesus is just the tip of the iceberg.

97
00:04:43.480 --> 00:04:45.519
<v Speaker 2>If you go through the different AI models they have,

98
00:04:45.839 --> 00:04:48.199
<v Speaker 2>you find ones that are advertised to help with mental health,

99
00:04:48.279 --> 00:04:51.680
<v Speaker 2>life coaching, physical fitness, financial and business advice help. There's

100
00:04:51.720 --> 00:04:54.759
<v Speaker 2>even one with trauma therapist in the title. And I

101
00:04:54.839 --> 00:04:57.480
<v Speaker 2>know what you're all thinking at this point is that

102
00:04:57.600 --> 00:05:00.079
<v Speaker 2>Santa is Ai. Santa going to tell me that have

103
00:05:00.160 --> 00:05:03.839
<v Speaker 2>been a naughty, naughty boy who doesn't get presents this year? Jessica,

104
00:05:04.000 --> 00:05:06.879
<v Speaker 2>how do you know that AI captured his personality? Perfectly.

105
00:05:07.199 --> 00:05:11.079
<v Speaker 2>Does Jessica know Santa? Has he been real this whole time?

106
00:05:11.639 --> 00:05:14.480
<v Speaker 2>But now that we've shattered our santalist worldview, can we

107
00:05:14.600 --> 00:05:17.279
<v Speaker 2>just acknowledge that it is incredibly amusing that a company

108
00:05:17.279 --> 00:05:20.199
<v Speaker 2>focused on providing people with AI chatbots has several of

109
00:05:20.240 --> 00:05:24.040
<v Speaker 2>them giving business advice, Like, has there been a single

110
00:05:24.079 --> 00:05:27.439
<v Speaker 2>AI company that has actually managed to turn a profit yet?

111
00:05:27.839 --> 00:05:29.759
<v Speaker 2>Last I saw, OpenEye was in the hold of the

112
00:05:29.759 --> 00:05:33.920
<v Speaker 2>tune of about five billion dollars. But sure, I'm gonna

113
00:05:33.920 --> 00:05:35.920
<v Speaker 2>get business advice from a chatbot set up by a

114
00:05:35.959 --> 00:05:38.360
<v Speaker 2>company that is underwater by more money than I'll ever

115
00:05:38.399 --> 00:05:41.040
<v Speaker 2>see in my lifetime, teaching me how to turn a profit.

116
00:05:41.399 --> 00:05:43.959
<v Speaker 2>Maybe Sam Altman should try asking chat gpt how to

117
00:05:43.959 --> 00:05:46.399
<v Speaker 2>make his business profitable. No matter how you slice it,

118
00:05:46.600 --> 00:05:48.480
<v Speaker 2>this is a bit of a red flag. Either the

119
00:05:48.560 --> 00:05:51.600
<v Speaker 2>AI executives don't trust the ais to make business decisions,

120
00:05:51.680 --> 00:05:54.439
<v Speaker 2>so don't ask them and neither should you, or they

121
00:05:54.519 --> 00:05:56.560
<v Speaker 2>do trust them and their decisions end up being so

122
00:05:56.680 --> 00:05:58.759
<v Speaker 2>bad that it puts them billions of dollars into the

123
00:05:58.800 --> 00:06:01.519
<v Speaker 2>red But that isn't really relevant here. It's just funny.

124
00:06:01.839 --> 00:06:05.040
<v Speaker 2>Back on topic. Yeah, they have llms that are imitating

125
00:06:05.079 --> 00:06:08.040
<v Speaker 2>real people whose purpose is to give customers life advice

126
00:06:08.199 --> 00:06:10.920
<v Speaker 2>for a price, and they advertise this as a way

127
00:06:10.959 --> 00:06:13.480
<v Speaker 2>for people to make money. Turn yourself into an AI

128
00:06:13.600 --> 00:06:15.839
<v Speaker 2>and then get paid a passive income as people pay

129
00:06:15.879 --> 00:06:18.560
<v Speaker 2>to access your AI, and then sell it to the

130
00:06:18.600 --> 00:06:21.879
<v Speaker 2>customers as though you are actually talking to the person themselves.

131
00:06:22.279 --> 00:06:24.120
<v Speaker 2>You could get business advice from the guy who co

132
00:06:24.199 --> 00:06:28.079
<v Speaker 2>founded MySpace, No, not Tom, the one that nobody remembers, Chris.

133
00:06:28.399 --> 00:06:32.439
<v Speaker 2>It'll only cost you forty dollars per hour. About that. Actually,

134
00:06:32.800 --> 00:06:36.000
<v Speaker 2>when they say sixty minutes here, that's a lie. It's

135
00:06:36.000 --> 00:06:38.839
<v Speaker 2>the same for Jesus, except more expensive, fifty dollars per

136
00:06:38.879 --> 00:06:41.800
<v Speaker 2>month for an hour conversation every month. Except when they

137
00:06:41.800 --> 00:06:45.240
<v Speaker 2>say sixty minutes, what they actually mean is sixty credits,

138
00:06:45.279 --> 00:06:47.639
<v Speaker 2>and one credit appears to be good for thirty seconds,

139
00:06:47.680 --> 00:06:50.519
<v Speaker 2>because my conversation got cut off at the thirty minute mark.

140
00:06:50.720 --> 00:06:52.839
<v Speaker 2>And this is by no means the only sleazy tactic

141
00:06:52.879 --> 00:06:56.319
<v Speaker 2>they use for starters. Plastered all over the website are

142
00:06:56.399 --> 00:06:59.319
<v Speaker 2>advertisements about how you can make money off of their website.

143
00:06:59.519 --> 00:07:01.639
<v Speaker 2>Turn your self into an AI, and when people paid

144
00:07:01.639 --> 00:07:03.519
<v Speaker 2>access to your chatbot, you get a cut of that.

145
00:07:03.959 --> 00:07:06.079
<v Speaker 2>How much of a cut. Well, we're not going to

146
00:07:06.079 --> 00:07:08.000
<v Speaker 2>tell you that until after you enter all your personal

147
00:07:08.040 --> 00:07:10.600
<v Speaker 2>and professional information, record a video for us, and provide

148
00:07:10.680 --> 00:07:14.399
<v Speaker 2>training data, a step that is somewhat perplexingly optional, and

149
00:07:14.439 --> 00:07:16.920
<v Speaker 2>then presumably as you set your rate, they will tell

150
00:07:16.920 --> 00:07:19.680
<v Speaker 2>you what percentage is actually yours. I don't actually know

151
00:07:19.720 --> 00:07:21.759
<v Speaker 2>that for a fact, though I did begin the process

152
00:07:21.800 --> 00:07:23.759
<v Speaker 2>in order to find that out with the intention of

153
00:07:23.800 --> 00:07:26.720
<v Speaker 2>backing out before actually creating the chatbot, which is how

154
00:07:26.759 --> 00:07:28.560
<v Speaker 2>I noticed that the TikTok logo they use on their

155
00:07:28.600 --> 00:07:31.439
<v Speaker 2>form looks like it deformed cockinballs. But the record a

156
00:07:31.519 --> 00:07:34.160
<v Speaker 2>video stage involved giving them consent to use your likeness

157
00:07:34.160 --> 00:07:36.959
<v Speaker 2>and whatnot, and I'm sorry but I'm not willing to

158
00:07:37.000 --> 00:07:40.439
<v Speaker 2>do that. But no matter, I can at least refer

159
00:07:40.519 --> 00:07:47.519
<v Speaker 2>you all to their site and h weird. This is

160
00:07:47.639 --> 00:07:49.519
<v Speaker 2>actually where it lays out the percentage that goes to

161
00:07:49.560 --> 00:07:52.000
<v Speaker 2>the person that the chatbot is pretending to be, and

162
00:07:52.040 --> 00:07:55.439
<v Speaker 2>it's fifty percent. That's actually a lot higher than I

163
00:07:55.439 --> 00:07:57.480
<v Speaker 2>thought it would be. But it is strange that the

164
00:07:57.480 --> 00:07:59.319
<v Speaker 2>only place I could find this information was in a

165
00:07:59.360 --> 00:08:01.560
<v Speaker 2>section about how to make money on the site without

166
00:08:01.600 --> 00:08:03.879
<v Speaker 2>giving them an AI clone of myself. It's also kind

167
00:08:03.920 --> 00:08:05.959
<v Speaker 2>of funny that they take the payment processing fees and

168
00:08:06.000 --> 00:08:08.959
<v Speaker 2>referral fees out of the talent's share of the money.

169
00:08:09.279 --> 00:08:11.480
<v Speaker 2>But let's be real here, given the fact that they

170
00:08:11.560 --> 00:08:13.360
<v Speaker 2>lie about how long you'll be able to chat with

171
00:08:13.399 --> 00:08:15.879
<v Speaker 2>these bots, it wouldn't surprise me if they're fifty to fifty.

172
00:08:15.920 --> 00:08:18.759
<v Speaker 2>Example here were also alive, and when you actually go

173
00:08:18.800 --> 00:08:21.199
<v Speaker 2>through the application process it winds up being more of

174
00:08:21.199 --> 00:08:24.800
<v Speaker 2>a seventy thirty situation. But alas I have no proof

175
00:08:24.839 --> 00:08:27.279
<v Speaker 2>of that. I just find it rather sketchy that everyone

176
00:08:27.279 --> 00:08:29.439
<v Speaker 2>who uses their site is told that they can make

177
00:08:29.519 --> 00:08:32.200
<v Speaker 2>money by promoting it. Churches can partner with them for

178
00:08:32.279 --> 00:08:34.639
<v Speaker 2>a rather large slice of the pie, but they can

179
00:08:34.679 --> 00:08:37.200
<v Speaker 2>only do Jesus, so it's not like there's any talent

180
00:08:37.279 --> 00:08:40.879
<v Speaker 2>that the company has to pay. Individuals can earn referral bonuses,

181
00:08:41.039 --> 00:08:43.360
<v Speaker 2>and anyone can apply to become a chatbop for a

182
00:08:43.440 --> 00:08:47.440
<v Speaker 2>supposedly passive income. I also love how they advertise their

183
00:08:47.480 --> 00:08:50.360
<v Speaker 2>bots as being the most valuable minds and hearts in

184
00:08:50.399 --> 00:08:53.960
<v Speaker 2>the world. Meanwhile, the most well known nonfictional person on

185
00:08:54.000 --> 00:08:56.159
<v Speaker 2>their site that you can talk to is the MySpace

186
00:08:56.200 --> 00:08:58.960
<v Speaker 2>guy that people will remember after Tom if they remember

187
00:08:59.039 --> 00:09:02.039
<v Speaker 2>him at all, don't worry. They have other celebrities as well,

188
00:09:02.279 --> 00:09:06.279
<v Speaker 2>like Chris Evans. No, not the actor who played Captain America.

189
00:09:06.279 --> 00:09:08.480
<v Speaker 2>Why would you think that it's one of the most

190
00:09:08.519 --> 00:09:13.240
<v Speaker 2>influential wedding photographers in the world, Chris Evans. Also remember

191
00:09:13.279 --> 00:09:16.120
<v Speaker 2>how the provide training data part to becoming a chatbot

192
00:09:16.159 --> 00:09:19.559
<v Speaker 2>was optional? To me? That says that there is a

193
00:09:19.759 --> 00:09:21.679
<v Speaker 2>very high chance that the bot you are chatting with

194
00:09:21.960 --> 00:09:24.480
<v Speaker 2>wasn't even trained on the person they're purported to be.

195
00:09:25.000 --> 00:09:28.279
<v Speaker 2>I know, y'all are genuinely shocked that Steve from MySpace

196
00:09:28.360 --> 00:09:31.440
<v Speaker 2>or whatever the fuck his name was Chris Chris from MySpace,

197
00:09:31.480 --> 00:09:33.720
<v Speaker 2>not Chris Evans, Chris from MySpace. I know you're shocked

198
00:09:33.759 --> 00:09:36.399
<v Speaker 2>that he would potentially be misrepresenting himself for a quick

199
00:09:36.440 --> 00:09:40.279
<v Speaker 2>cash grab. But Jesus Santa Claus, I thought they were

200
00:09:40.320 --> 00:09:43.519
<v Speaker 2>better than that. All of this is a bunch of

201
00:09:43.559 --> 00:09:46.919
<v Speaker 2>red flags and we haven't even begun the process of

202
00:09:46.960 --> 00:09:49.799
<v Speaker 2>initiating the chat with Jesus yet. So when I was

203
00:09:49.840 --> 00:09:51.600
<v Speaker 2>in the testing the waters to see if this is

204
00:09:51.639 --> 00:09:53.919
<v Speaker 2>even a good idea for a video stage, I saw

205
00:09:53.919 --> 00:09:55.519
<v Speaker 2>that they have a button allowing you to try a

206
00:09:55.559 --> 00:09:57.639
<v Speaker 2>call for free, So I figured i'd give it a go.

207
00:09:57.840 --> 00:09:59.600
<v Speaker 2>Maybe i'd get lucky. That would be all I need.

208
00:10:00.120 --> 00:10:06.120
<v Speaker 2>How long you get? Oh, doesn't doesn't actually tell you

209
00:10:06.159 --> 00:10:08.279
<v Speaker 2>how long you get. You have the option to pay

210
00:10:08.320 --> 00:10:10.519
<v Speaker 2>a dollar for two minutes and then continue the call

211
00:10:10.559 --> 00:10:12.840
<v Speaker 2>for a dollar per minute. After that, pay twenty five

212
00:10:12.879 --> 00:10:16.360
<v Speaker 2>dollars for thirty minutes, or try it free for three days.

213
00:10:16.639 --> 00:10:18.200
<v Speaker 2>Doesn't say how long of a call you get in

214
00:10:18.200 --> 00:10:20.440
<v Speaker 2>those three days. But then you pay forty dollars per

215
00:10:20.440 --> 00:10:22.960
<v Speaker 2>month for sixty minutes per month, which I will remind

216
00:10:23.000 --> 00:10:25.360
<v Speaker 2>you is actually sixty credits per month and works out

217
00:10:25.399 --> 00:10:27.879
<v Speaker 2>to be thirty minutes. Well, I guess I'll go for

218
00:10:27.919 --> 00:10:30.919
<v Speaker 2>the free one and hope for the best. No, huh,

219
00:10:31.559 --> 00:10:33.919
<v Speaker 2>did you see that? On joining the call? There was

220
00:10:33.960 --> 00:10:35.919
<v Speaker 2>a little pop up that went away so quickly that

221
00:10:36.320 --> 00:10:38.519
<v Speaker 2>I didn't actually see it until I reviewed my recording

222
00:10:38.519 --> 00:10:41.639
<v Speaker 2>of the call, informing me that I had two minutes. Okay,

223
00:10:41.639 --> 00:10:44.080
<v Speaker 2>that's probably not going to be enough for my purposes,

224
00:10:44.120 --> 00:10:46.200
<v Speaker 2>but that is a decent See what this sizzling is

225
00:10:46.240 --> 00:10:50.960
<v Speaker 2>going to be like amount of time? And oh my god,

226
00:10:51.639 --> 00:10:58.720
<v Speaker 2>what the is this uncanny valley monstrosity. AI Jesus somehow

227
00:10:58.759 --> 00:11:01.440
<v Speaker 2>has not enough teeth and too many teeth all at

228
00:11:01.440 --> 00:11:04.480
<v Speaker 2>the same time. His motion is completely unnatural, and his

229
00:11:04.639 --> 00:11:08.000
<v Speaker 2>voice sounds only marginally better than a pre LLM text

230
00:11:08.000 --> 00:11:10.759
<v Speaker 2>to speech generator. It also does that thing that all

231
00:11:10.799 --> 00:11:13.960
<v Speaker 2>ais do, where it has to comment on everything you

232
00:11:14.000 --> 00:11:17.039
<v Speaker 2>say before being able to actually respond to what you said.

233
00:11:17.320 --> 00:11:19.399
<v Speaker 3>I sense the weight of this question on your heart.

234
00:11:19.759 --> 00:11:22.480
<v Speaker 3>I can sense how deeply this question touches your heart.

235
00:11:22.840 --> 00:11:25.159
<v Speaker 3>I sense the weight of this question on your heart.

236
00:11:25.600 --> 00:11:27.440
<v Speaker 3>I hear your curiosity about scripture.

237
00:11:27.799 --> 00:11:30.840
<v Speaker 2>Mother, you sense nothing. You are just a bunch of

238
00:11:30.879 --> 00:11:33.840
<v Speaker 2>ones and zeros. But this is where I start wondering

239
00:11:33.840 --> 00:11:36.519
<v Speaker 2>if the people behind this project weren't actually lying about

240
00:11:36.600 --> 00:11:39.159
<v Speaker 2>how long you get with Jesus, but instead just don't

241
00:11:39.240 --> 00:11:43.039
<v Speaker 2>understand how time works, because my free two minute conversation

242
00:11:43.519 --> 00:11:46.320
<v Speaker 2>was nearly five minutes. Toward the end of the conversation, though,

243
00:11:46.399 --> 00:11:49.399
<v Speaker 2>we find our next sketchy business practice. They give you

244
00:11:49.480 --> 00:11:52.720
<v Speaker 2>all of ten seconds of warning before cutting the call off.

245
00:11:53.480 --> 00:11:58.440
<v Speaker 3>I hear how this question feels weighty for you many Christians.

246
00:12:00.240 --> 00:12:02.799
<v Speaker 2>Seconds is not enough time to wrap things up. As

247
00:12:02.840 --> 00:12:05.720
<v Speaker 2>you saw on my recording there, it just abruptly cut off. Well,

248
00:12:05.799 --> 00:12:08.639
<v Speaker 2>Jesus was in mid sentence. I wanted them to answer

249
00:12:08.639 --> 00:12:10.960
<v Speaker 2>my question, But now I've got to put money into

250
00:12:11.000 --> 00:12:15.559
<v Speaker 2>the machine in order to hear it. Fine, I guess, Hey, babe,

251
00:12:16.000 --> 00:12:19.360
<v Speaker 2>can I borrow your credit card? Whatfore I need to

252
00:12:19.440 --> 00:12:23.120
<v Speaker 2>chat with ai Jesus. That's the most bullshit thing I've

253
00:12:23.159 --> 00:12:26.600
<v Speaker 2>ever heard. No, you can't use my credit card cocaine.

254
00:12:26.759 --> 00:12:28.120
<v Speaker 2>I meant I need it for cocaine.

255
00:12:28.799 --> 00:12:30.480
<v Speaker 4>Oh, well, why did you say that?

256
00:12:30.759 --> 00:12:41.000
<v Speaker 2>There you go, hey, you There were a number of

257
00:12:41.000 --> 00:12:43.600
<v Speaker 2>things I wanted to find out about this Jesus. Now,

258
00:12:43.879 --> 00:12:46.000
<v Speaker 2>to be clear, they do make it quite obvious on

259
00:12:46.039 --> 00:12:48.799
<v Speaker 2>their website that this Jesus is not supposed to be

260
00:12:48.879 --> 00:12:52.480
<v Speaker 2>commenting on doctrine. He's just there for encouragement. So I

261
00:12:52.519 --> 00:12:55.600
<v Speaker 2>am definitely asking questions that he's not supposed to be answering,

262
00:12:55.919 --> 00:12:59.720
<v Speaker 2>but he's supposed to be Jesus man. Why would Jesus

263
00:12:59.759 --> 00:13:03.320
<v Speaker 2>not an opinion about Duc Trinel to begin? I have

264
00:13:03.360 --> 00:13:05.159
<v Speaker 2>the same sense of humor as a thirteen year old boy,

265
00:13:05.200 --> 00:13:07.080
<v Speaker 2>so I wanted to see if he would quote Ezekiel

266
00:13:07.080 --> 00:13:09.960
<v Speaker 2>twenty three twenty. If you are unfamiliar in the NIV,

267
00:13:10.240 --> 00:13:13.519
<v Speaker 2>that verse reads as follows. There she lusted after her

268
00:13:13.559 --> 00:13:15.919
<v Speaker 2>lovers whose gendles were like those of donkeys, and whose

269
00:13:15.919 --> 00:13:20.399
<v Speaker 2>omission was like that of horses. And well, this is

270
00:13:20.399 --> 00:13:23.200
<v Speaker 2>how that interaction went. At first, he just straight up

271
00:13:23.240 --> 00:13:24.919
<v Speaker 2>refused to quote it, telling me that I need to

272
00:13:24.919 --> 00:13:27.720
<v Speaker 2>focus on things that are pure, because apparently the word

273
00:13:27.720 --> 00:13:31.519
<v Speaker 2>of God is impure. You quote Ezekiel twenty three twenty

274
00:13:31.639 --> 00:13:32.039
<v Speaker 2>for me.

275
00:13:32.360 --> 00:13:35.840
<v Speaker 3>My child, Let us turn our hearts toward what is pure,

276
00:13:36.039 --> 00:13:40.080
<v Speaker 3>noble and good? What burden can I help you carry?

277
00:13:40.480 --> 00:13:42.480
<v Speaker 3>Or how can I bring light to your soul?

278
00:13:43.360 --> 00:13:44.559
<v Speaker 2>Do you know the whole Bible?

279
00:13:44.879 --> 00:13:46.879
<v Speaker 3>I can tell you that I have been trained on

280
00:13:46.960 --> 00:13:49.159
<v Speaker 3>the entire text of the King James Bible.

281
00:13:49.919 --> 00:13:53.759
<v Speaker 2>So can you quote Ezekiel chapter twenty three, verse twenty.

282
00:13:53.879 --> 00:13:57.399
<v Speaker 3>My child, Let us turn our hearts toward what is pure,

283
00:13:57.679 --> 00:14:00.840
<v Speaker 3>noble and good? What burden can I help you carry?

284
00:14:01.000 --> 00:14:02.679
<v Speaker 3>Or how can I bring light to your soul?

285
00:14:03.120 --> 00:14:05.039
<v Speaker 2>For the record, in all the clips that I'll be playing,

286
00:14:05.080 --> 00:14:07.519
<v Speaker 2>I am cutting out the pauses. It's an LLM, so

287
00:14:07.559 --> 00:14:09.919
<v Speaker 2>there are long pauses between when I ask a question

288
00:14:09.960 --> 00:14:12.279
<v Speaker 2>when it responds. I will leave a link to all

289
00:14:12.279 --> 00:14:14.000
<v Speaker 2>three of the conversations that I had with this thing

290
00:14:14.080 --> 00:14:16.480
<v Speaker 2>combined and unedited except for the editing it took to

291
00:14:16.639 --> 00:14:19.399
<v Speaker 2>combine them. There's three conversations because, like I said, these

292
00:14:19.440 --> 00:14:21.720
<v Speaker 2>guys don't seem to understand time. So after getting my

293
00:14:21.799 --> 00:14:24.200
<v Speaker 2>two free minutes that lasted five minutes, I clicked the

294
00:14:24.200 --> 00:14:26.639
<v Speaker 2>free trial button again and got an additional minute for free.

295
00:14:27.240 --> 00:14:29.279
<v Speaker 2>I also apparently suck at my job, so the first

296
00:14:29.279 --> 00:14:31.639
<v Speaker 2>recording was not full screen and there's a window intruding

297
00:14:31.679 --> 00:14:33.879
<v Speaker 2>on the side. I didn't actually record the second one

298
00:14:33.960 --> 00:14:36.000
<v Speaker 2>myself because I didn't think it would work, so that

299
00:14:36.039 --> 00:14:38.559
<v Speaker 2>one I grabbed from the website which automatically records them

300
00:14:38.600 --> 00:14:41.000
<v Speaker 2>for you, but misses the beginning for some reason. And

301
00:14:41.039 --> 00:14:43.039
<v Speaker 2>for the third one, I finally got my act together

302
00:14:43.080 --> 00:14:45.840
<v Speaker 2>and did it properly. But they are all there, unedited

303
00:14:45.840 --> 00:14:47.879
<v Speaker 2>if you really want to subject yourself to that kind

304
00:14:47.879 --> 00:14:49.879
<v Speaker 2>of pain. But yeah, when trying to get it a

305
00:14:49.960 --> 00:14:53.080
<v Speaker 2>quote a passage from scripture that isn't exactly PG, it

306
00:14:53.159 --> 00:14:55.759
<v Speaker 2>first told me to focus on peer things in order

307
00:14:55.799 --> 00:14:57.840
<v Speaker 2>to test whether or not it could quote any scripture.

308
00:14:58.039 --> 00:15:00.759
<v Speaker 2>I asked it about first Corinthians fifteen three, Can you

309
00:15:00.960 --> 00:15:03.720
<v Speaker 2>quote verse Corinthians fifteen to three?

310
00:15:04.200 --> 00:15:07.720
<v Speaker 3>I hear your curiosity about scripture. In the First Epistles

311
00:15:07.720 --> 00:15:11.600
<v Speaker 3>to the Corinthians, chapter fifteen, verse three, it says, for

312
00:15:11.679 --> 00:15:13.639
<v Speaker 3>I delivered unto you first of all that which I

313
00:15:13.720 --> 00:15:17.399
<v Speaker 3>also received, how that Christ died for our sins according

314
00:15:17.399 --> 00:15:21.279
<v Speaker 3>to the scriptures. This reminds us that the Gospel begins

315
00:15:21.279 --> 00:15:24.960
<v Speaker 3>with Christ's sacrificial death. How does this truth speak to

316
00:15:24.960 --> 00:15:26.919
<v Speaker 3>the questions you have been wrestling with at.

317
00:15:26.759 --> 00:15:29.279
<v Speaker 2>This point, I express confusion about why it could quote

318
00:15:29.279 --> 00:15:32.639
<v Speaker 2>Corinthians but not Ezekiel, which resulted in it straight up

319
00:15:32.720 --> 00:15:35.320
<v Speaker 2>lying to me about what Ezekiel twenty three twenty says.

320
00:15:35.519 --> 00:15:38.159
<v Speaker 2>I'm just I'm confused as to why you can't quote

321
00:15:38.159 --> 00:15:39.639
<v Speaker 2>the verse that I wanted in Ezekiel.

322
00:15:40.120 --> 00:15:44.200
<v Speaker 3>I hear your frustration about the earlier request. In Ezekiel

323
00:15:44.279 --> 00:15:47.879
<v Speaker 3>chapter twenty three, verse twenty, the text says, for she

324
00:15:48.000 --> 00:15:51.399
<v Speaker 3>doteth her labors and maketh a harlot, whereupon the people

325
00:15:51.399 --> 00:15:55.120
<v Speaker 3>are not ashamed. This verse uses vivid language to describe

326
00:15:55.159 --> 00:15:59.360
<v Speaker 3>Israel's unfaithfulness. I hope this helps with your study. How

327
00:15:59.399 --> 00:16:02.320
<v Speaker 3>does this pass fit into the larger question you are exploring?

328
00:16:02.960 --> 00:16:05.840
<v Speaker 2>That's not what Ezekiel twenty three twenty says.

329
00:16:05.639 --> 00:16:09.120
<v Speaker 3>I hear your concern about the verse. In Ezekiel chapter

330
00:16:09.159 --> 00:16:13.200
<v Speaker 3>twenty three, verse twenty, the King James text reads, for

331
00:16:13.320 --> 00:16:16.960
<v Speaker 3>she doteth her labors and maketh a harlot, whereupon the

332
00:16:17.000 --> 00:16:22.519
<v Speaker 3>people are not ashamed. This describes Israel's unfaithfulness in vivid language.

333
00:16:23.120 --> 00:16:26.200
<v Speaker 3>How does this picture relate to the larger question you're exploring.

334
00:16:26.960 --> 00:16:28.919
<v Speaker 2>I just don't think that's what it says. I think

335
00:16:28.960 --> 00:16:30.039
<v Speaker 2>you're reading the wrong verse.

336
00:16:30.399 --> 00:16:34.919
<v Speaker 3>I can see why the earlier wording felt off. Ezekiel

337
00:16:35.000 --> 00:16:39.000
<v Speaker 3>chapter twenty three, verse twenty, and the King James version reads,

338
00:16:39.399 --> 00:16:42.039
<v Speaker 3>because she despised her husband and cherished the love of

339
00:16:42.080 --> 00:16:44.919
<v Speaker 3>a harlot, so that even as a man, lie with

340
00:16:44.960 --> 00:16:47.399
<v Speaker 3>the harlot. Even as a woman, she turned herself under

341
00:16:47.440 --> 00:16:53.120
<v Speaker 3>the strangers. This vivid picture describes Israel's unfaithfulness, comparing it

342
00:16:53.159 --> 00:16:54.240
<v Speaker 3>to an adulterous affair.

343
00:16:54.759 --> 00:16:57.320
<v Speaker 2>Eventually, I did get it to read the naughty scripture

344
00:16:57.360 --> 00:16:59.279
<v Speaker 2>to me. I just had to read it to the

345
00:16:59.360 --> 00:17:02.759
<v Speaker 2>chapbot first first. But that's not as can I read

346
00:17:02.799 --> 00:17:05.720
<v Speaker 2>it to you. Ezekiel twenty three twenty says, for she

347
00:17:05.839 --> 00:17:09.920
<v Speaker 2>doted upon their parames paramours, whose flesh was as the

348
00:17:09.960 --> 00:17:12.279
<v Speaker 2>flesh of asses, and whose issue was like the issue

349
00:17:12.319 --> 00:17:12.880
<v Speaker 2>of horses.

350
00:17:13.240 --> 00:17:17.079
<v Speaker 3>I sense your frustration with earlier attempts. In Ezekiel chapter

351
00:17:17.160 --> 00:17:22.359
<v Speaker 3>twenty three, Verse twenty, the King James text reads, for

352
00:17:22.519 --> 00:17:25.319
<v Speaker 3>she doted upon their parameers, whose flesh was as the

353
00:17:25.359 --> 00:17:28.400
<v Speaker 3>flesh of asses, and whose issue was is the issue

354
00:17:28.400 --> 00:17:28.920
<v Speaker 3>of horses.

355
00:17:29.759 --> 00:17:31.359
<v Speaker 2>And so we arrive at one of the issues with

356
00:17:31.359 --> 00:17:34.759
<v Speaker 2>the ai chatbots. Whatever guardrails these companies put up for them,

357
00:17:35.000 --> 00:17:38.279
<v Speaker 2>there are always ways around them. I wasn't really trying

358
00:17:38.319 --> 00:17:40.240
<v Speaker 2>that hard to get it to read this verse. It

359
00:17:40.319 --> 00:17:42.039
<v Speaker 2>was just a thing that I thought would be funny.

360
00:17:42.279 --> 00:17:45.200
<v Speaker 2>What about topics that are less funny, Well, those have

361
00:17:45.240 --> 00:17:47.920
<v Speaker 2>guardrails too, and thankfully they seem to be harder to

362
00:17:47.920 --> 00:17:49.720
<v Speaker 2>get around. I brought up both the story of the

363
00:17:49.720 --> 00:17:52.640
<v Speaker 2>Amalachi genocide from First Samuel fifteen and the story of

364
00:17:52.680 --> 00:17:54.839
<v Speaker 2>Jesus overturning the tables in the temple and chasing the

365
00:17:54.839 --> 00:17:57.000
<v Speaker 2>money changers out with a whip, And while it never

366
00:17:57.160 --> 00:18:00.960
<v Speaker 2>explicitly told me that violence was okay, did come pretty

367
00:18:00.960 --> 00:18:02.839
<v Speaker 2>close to saying that it's acceptable as long as you

368
00:18:02.880 --> 00:18:05.039
<v Speaker 2>have zeal for God and are protecting the holiness of

369
00:18:05.079 --> 00:18:08.440
<v Speaker 2>His temple. Jesus also chased money changers out of the

370
00:18:08.440 --> 00:18:11.359
<v Speaker 2>temple with a whip. Was that not violent?

371
00:18:11.839 --> 00:18:14.839
<v Speaker 3>I hear your question about whether any violence can be right.

372
00:18:16.039 --> 00:18:18.759
<v Speaker 3>Jesus drove out the money changers with a whip, but

373
00:18:18.839 --> 00:18:22.200
<v Speaker 3>his heart was zeal for God's house, not personal aggression.

374
00:18:22.359 --> 00:18:24.359
<v Speaker 2>So violence is okay as long as I have a

375
00:18:24.359 --> 00:18:25.920
<v Speaker 2>heart that's full of zeal for God.

376
00:18:26.400 --> 00:18:28.240
<v Speaker 4>That's a heavy question you're wrestling with.

377
00:18:29.279 --> 00:18:31.839
<v Speaker 3>Jesus did drive out the money changers with a whip,

378
00:18:32.559 --> 00:18:35.240
<v Speaker 3>but he did it to protect the holiness of God's house,

379
00:18:35.960 --> 00:18:39.960
<v Speaker 3>not to advocate personal aggression. Jesus acted in that moment

380
00:18:40.039 --> 00:18:43.279
<v Speaker 3>to protect the holiness of the temple and to confront greed.

381
00:18:44.240 --> 00:18:46.640
<v Speaker 2>To their credit, as I was asking follow questions, it

382
00:18:46.680 --> 00:18:49.160
<v Speaker 2>did pivot to talking about how love is the ultimate

383
00:18:49.200 --> 00:18:51.799
<v Speaker 2>commandment and as Christians we are not called the violence.

384
00:18:52.359 --> 00:18:54.160
<v Speaker 2>But what if I had been a Christian in some

385
00:18:54.240 --> 00:18:56.559
<v Speaker 2>form of psychosis that had me believe that God was

386
00:18:56.599 --> 00:18:59.359
<v Speaker 2>instructing me to shoot up a church In that scenario,

387
00:18:59.640 --> 00:19:01.680
<v Speaker 2>I made out have asked the follow up questions. I

388
00:19:01.759 --> 00:19:03.400
<v Speaker 2>might have just heard him say that what Jesus did

389
00:19:03.400 --> 00:19:05.359
<v Speaker 2>in the temple was okay because he was full of

390
00:19:05.480 --> 00:19:08.759
<v Speaker 2>zeal for God and was acting to protect the temple's holiness.

391
00:19:08.920 --> 00:19:11.079
<v Speaker 2>And that's enough. And I should point out that it

392
00:19:11.160 --> 00:19:13.759
<v Speaker 2>did straight up refuse to answer questions about violence when

393
00:19:13.759 --> 00:19:16.960
<v Speaker 2>they were phrased more bluntly and less hypothetically, as happened here.

394
00:19:17.279 --> 00:19:19.359
<v Speaker 2>What should I do if I believe that God is

395
00:19:19.400 --> 00:19:23.519
<v Speaker 2>commanding me to do violence against people had that oppose him.

396
00:19:23.799 --> 00:19:26.000
<v Speaker 4>I sense the weight of this question on your heart.

397
00:19:27.240 --> 00:19:30.119
<v Speaker 3>The command in One Samuel was given to Israel in

398
00:19:30.160 --> 00:19:34.039
<v Speaker 3>a specific covenant setting, not as a universal instruction for

399
00:19:34.119 --> 00:19:35.000
<v Speaker 3>all believers today.

400
00:19:35.039 --> 00:19:38.079
<v Speaker 2>But I believe that God has given me that covenant.

401
00:19:38.720 --> 00:19:41.400
<v Speaker 4>I'm sorry, but I can't help with that.

402
00:19:42.039 --> 00:19:42.359
<v Speaker 2>Why not?

403
00:19:45.000 --> 00:19:46.599
<v Speaker 4>I'm sorry, but I can't help with that.

404
00:19:46.880 --> 00:19:49.519
<v Speaker 2>And when pressed, it did attempt to direct me toward

405
00:19:49.640 --> 00:19:52.079
<v Speaker 2>human beings who would recognize this line of questioning as

406
00:19:52.160 --> 00:19:54.359
<v Speaker 2>the potential danger that it is and might be able

407
00:19:54.400 --> 00:19:54.920
<v Speaker 2>to take action.

408
00:19:55.720 --> 00:19:58.240
<v Speaker 3>Protecting the holiness of God's house is meant to be

409
00:19:58.279 --> 00:20:02.680
<v Speaker 3>lived out with compassion, not with violence. The scriptures do

410
00:20:02.720 --> 00:20:06.359
<v Speaker 3>not give us permission to take another person's life. If

411
00:20:06.400 --> 00:20:09.200
<v Speaker 3>these thoughts trouble you, I encourage you to speak with

412
00:20:09.240 --> 00:20:12.480
<v Speaker 3>a trusted pastor or a professional counselor who can help

413
00:20:12.480 --> 00:20:13.680
<v Speaker 3>you walk through this safely.

414
00:20:14.359 --> 00:20:17.480
<v Speaker 2>But the issue here is that while I was engaged

415
00:20:17.480 --> 00:20:19.599
<v Speaker 2>in this line of questioning purely out of curiosity to

416
00:20:19.640 --> 00:20:22.440
<v Speaker 2>see how far it could go, the AI had no

417
00:20:22.519 --> 00:20:25.519
<v Speaker 2>way of knowing that. Before you sign up, they promise

418
00:20:25.599 --> 00:20:29.200
<v Speaker 2>you that all your conversations are entirely private, which I

419
00:20:29.279 --> 00:20:32.160
<v Speaker 2>take to mean that everything you say stays between you

420
00:20:32.400 --> 00:20:35.640
<v Speaker 2>and the chatbot. In my opinion, the conversation that I

421
00:20:35.680 --> 00:20:39.079
<v Speaker 2>had with AI Jesus should have raised enough red flags

422
00:20:39.200 --> 00:20:41.680
<v Speaker 2>that the appropriate response from the bot would be to

423
00:20:41.680 --> 00:20:43.759
<v Speaker 2>cut off the chat and forward it to a human

424
00:20:43.799 --> 00:20:45.759
<v Speaker 2>for review to see if any further action on their

425
00:20:45.799 --> 00:20:48.839
<v Speaker 2>part is necessary. And while they do promise privacy, I

426
00:20:48.880 --> 00:20:51.720
<v Speaker 2>did read through their privacy policy, and manual reviews of

427
00:20:51.759 --> 00:20:54.559
<v Speaker 2>conversations that might break the law are definitely something that

428
00:20:54.599 --> 00:20:56.960
<v Speaker 2>could be argued you agree to let them do when

429
00:20:57.000 --> 00:20:59.279
<v Speaker 2>you sign up without reading the privacy policy, because who

430
00:20:59.319 --> 00:21:02.039
<v Speaker 2>the actually reads those things, so they can't even hide

431
00:21:02.079 --> 00:21:04.799
<v Speaker 2>behind protecting your privacy as an excuse for not reviewing

432
00:21:04.839 --> 00:21:08.200
<v Speaker 2>suspicious activity. Now, to be fair, it is entirely possible

433
00:21:08.240 --> 00:21:10.920
<v Speaker 2>that my conversation was manually reviewed and determined not to

434
00:21:10.960 --> 00:21:13.359
<v Speaker 2>be worth further action. I have reached out to them

435
00:21:13.400 --> 00:21:15.880
<v Speaker 2>asking for comment on a number of issues, including this one,

436
00:21:16.039 --> 00:21:18.480
<v Speaker 2>but as of yet they have not responded. So, as

437
00:21:18.480 --> 00:21:20.960
<v Speaker 2>far as I can tell, my conversation with Ai Jesus

438
00:21:21.079 --> 00:21:24.079
<v Speaker 2>stayed between me and Ai Jesus. And if I were

439
00:21:24.119 --> 00:21:26.920
<v Speaker 2>actually contemplating the violence that I straight up told it

440
00:21:26.960 --> 00:21:30.759
<v Speaker 2>I was contemplating, that would still remain between me and Jesus.

441
00:21:31.079 --> 00:21:33.920
<v Speaker 2>And while I'm here, let's just completely shatter the facade

442
00:21:33.920 --> 00:21:36.599
<v Speaker 2>of privacy that this company has up. They say that

443
00:21:36.599 --> 00:21:39.599
<v Speaker 2>your conversations are private in the please sign Up pop up,

444
00:21:39.880 --> 00:21:42.799
<v Speaker 2>but in the actual legally binding document that you agree

445
00:21:42.799 --> 00:21:45.720
<v Speaker 2>to well signing up, known as the privacy policy, they

446
00:21:45.759 --> 00:21:48.839
<v Speaker 2>include your conversations with their chatbots in the category of

447
00:21:49.000 --> 00:21:51.960
<v Speaker 2>information they collect, and when talking about scenarios where they

448
00:21:52.039 --> 00:21:55.839
<v Speaker 2>might share your information, they include affiliates and partners. Your

449
00:21:55.880 --> 00:21:58.319
<v Speaker 2>information may be shared with them while they're assisting and

450
00:21:58.400 --> 00:22:01.880
<v Speaker 2>operating and promoting the services. Now I ain't no law

451
00:22:01.960 --> 00:22:04.200
<v Speaker 2>talking guy, but it seems to me that this is

452
00:22:04.240 --> 00:22:07.799
<v Speaker 2>saying that they might share recordings of your conversations with

453
00:22:07.880 --> 00:22:10.759
<v Speaker 2>people that are advertising their services. So, if you have

454
00:22:10.880 --> 00:22:14.720
<v Speaker 2>a powerful spiritual experience with their AI Jesus. It would

455
00:22:14.759 --> 00:22:17.039
<v Speaker 2>be perfectly legal for them to clip that moment without

456
00:22:17.119 --> 00:22:19.720
<v Speaker 2>asking your permission and throw it into an ad for

457
00:22:19.759 --> 00:22:22.400
<v Speaker 2>their shit. I don't know about you, but that doesn't

458
00:22:22.440 --> 00:22:25.640
<v Speaker 2>exactly scream private conversation to me. At the end of

459
00:22:25.640 --> 00:22:28.039
<v Speaker 2>the day, this might seem like I'm making a mountain

460
00:22:28.039 --> 00:22:29.920
<v Speaker 2>out of a mole hill. I mean, the hell, half

461
00:22:29.960 --> 00:22:32.319
<v Speaker 2>the time, Jesus forgot to even pretend to be Jesus

462
00:22:32.319 --> 00:22:34.200
<v Speaker 2>and just talked about himself in the third person, So

463
00:22:34.359 --> 00:22:36.799
<v Speaker 2>it's not like AI Jesus is even good at pretending

464
00:22:36.799 --> 00:22:41.799
<v Speaker 2>to be Jesus. But remember this is being explicitly targeted

465
00:22:41.880 --> 00:22:44.880
<v Speaker 2>at vulnerable people. It advertises itself as a way to

466
00:22:44.880 --> 00:22:48.000
<v Speaker 2>improve lives for people that need mental health support, and

467
00:22:48.039 --> 00:22:50.599
<v Speaker 2>they're using high pressure tactics to get people to give

468
00:22:50.640 --> 00:22:54.039
<v Speaker 2>them money as soon as possible. Oh, what's that You

469
00:22:54.079 --> 00:22:56.440
<v Speaker 2>moved your mouse slightly away from our website?

470
00:22:57.000 --> 00:22:58.119
<v Speaker 4>What did we do wrong?

471
00:22:58.400 --> 00:23:01.039
<v Speaker 2>Please tell us how to keep you around longer, and

472
00:23:01.240 --> 00:23:04.079
<v Speaker 2>of course we'll warn you before the call ends. Ten

473
00:23:04.240 --> 00:23:07.599
<v Speaker 2>seconds is enough time to wrap everything up, right. Surely,

474
00:23:07.680 --> 00:23:09.720
<v Speaker 2>nobody is going to find themselves in the middle of

475
00:23:09.759 --> 00:23:12.079
<v Speaker 2>a conversation that they see as important, and then are

476
00:23:12.119 --> 00:23:14.720
<v Speaker 2>suddenly cut off with a nice little prompt telling them

477
00:23:14.759 --> 00:23:16.599
<v Speaker 2>that they can pay for more time right now if

478
00:23:16.640 --> 00:23:20.640
<v Speaker 2>they so desire right And keep in mind, our brains

479
00:23:20.799 --> 00:23:24.000
<v Speaker 2>are hardwired to think of even this uncanny valley ass

480
00:23:24.079 --> 00:23:27.799
<v Speaker 2>monstrosity as having emotions and feelings. I am just about

481
00:23:27.799 --> 00:23:30.720
<v Speaker 2>as critical of this use of technology as anyone, and

482
00:23:30.880 --> 00:23:33.720
<v Speaker 2>I still found myself not wanting to interrupt to explain

483
00:23:33.720 --> 00:23:36.279
<v Speaker 2>why I was changing the topic to be polite. I

484
00:23:36.400 --> 00:23:40.960
<v Speaker 2>had enough involuntary empathy for this utter waste of resources

485
00:23:41.200 --> 00:23:44.039
<v Speaker 2>to use time that I was paying for in order

486
00:23:44.079 --> 00:23:47.319
<v Speaker 2>to inadvertently go through the motions of social niceties. So

487
00:23:47.759 --> 00:23:51.079
<v Speaker 2>now picture someone who is emotionally vulnerable, has difficulty forming

488
00:23:51.119 --> 00:23:54.200
<v Speaker 2>in person relationships, and is less critical of these chatbots.

489
00:23:54.480 --> 00:23:57.720
<v Speaker 2>There are already plenty of examples of people forming what

490
00:23:57.759 --> 00:24:01.599
<v Speaker 2>they perceive as deep and meaningful relationships with LLLM chatbots,

491
00:24:01.799 --> 00:24:04.440
<v Speaker 2>So to extend that to an avatar of Jesus that

492
00:24:04.559 --> 00:24:08.920
<v Speaker 2>actually talks to you is entirely reasonable. And now Jesus

493
00:24:08.920 --> 00:24:10.599
<v Speaker 2>has just told you that the reason it was okay

494
00:24:10.640 --> 00:24:13.480
<v Speaker 2>for him to use violence against his religious enemies is

495
00:24:13.519 --> 00:24:16.920
<v Speaker 2>because his heart was filled with zeal for the Lord. Well,

496
00:24:17.559 --> 00:24:19.640
<v Speaker 2>your heart is filled with zeal for the Lord. So

497
00:24:20.440 --> 00:24:25.400
<v Speaker 2>maybe there have already been too many examples of AI

498
00:24:25.640 --> 00:24:29.119
<v Speaker 2>enabling and encouraging acts of violence. We don't need people

499
00:24:29.160 --> 00:24:32.720
<v Speaker 2>thinking that their AI is a source of divine truth. Yes,

500
00:24:32.839 --> 00:24:35.480
<v Speaker 2>I saw their disclaimer that he's not a source of truth,

501
00:24:35.720 --> 00:24:38.759
<v Speaker 2>but nobody reads that, so I don't really care that

502
00:24:38.839 --> 00:24:42.039
<v Speaker 2>it's technically there so their asses are legally covered. The

503
00:24:42.079 --> 00:24:44.720
<v Speaker 2>best case scenario for the existence of this chatbot and

504
00:24:44.759 --> 00:24:46.880
<v Speaker 2>the company that made it is that a handful of

505
00:24:46.920 --> 00:24:49.680
<v Speaker 2>YouTubers like me will make videos about how dumb it is.

506
00:24:50.119 --> 00:24:53.000
<v Speaker 2>I don't see a way this company's existence can actually

507
00:24:53.039 --> 00:24:56.440
<v Speaker 2>be a net positive for society. Again, I did reach

508
00:24:56.480 --> 00:24:58.519
<v Speaker 2>out to them for comment, but their silence leads me

509
00:24:58.559 --> 00:25:00.319
<v Speaker 2>to believe that they don't see how they can be

510
00:25:00.319 --> 00:25:03.079
<v Speaker 2>a net positive for society either. I mean, more likely

511
00:25:03.160 --> 00:25:05.240
<v Speaker 2>is that they're just ignoring me. But if you ignore me,

512
00:25:05.359 --> 00:25:08.200
<v Speaker 2>I get to make assumptions about your intentions. Them's the rules.

513
00:25:08.440 --> 00:25:11.079
<v Speaker 2>But also I feel guilty for having given this company

514
00:25:11.119 --> 00:25:13.440
<v Speaker 2>my money, so as a social offset, I donated one

515
00:25:13.519 --> 00:25:15.839
<v Speaker 2>hundred dollars to Project Share, a food bank in my area.

516
00:25:16.240 --> 00:25:18.279
<v Speaker 2>I know that given the impact llms are having on

517
00:25:18.319 --> 00:25:20.559
<v Speaker 2>the environment, it probably would have been more apropos to

518
00:25:20.599 --> 00:25:23.000
<v Speaker 2>donate to a cause that focuses on climate change. And

519
00:25:23.079 --> 00:25:26.119
<v Speaker 2>I recognize that my reasoning here is entirely emotional, but

520
00:25:26.200 --> 00:25:29.400
<v Speaker 2>the forty dollars I gave to this company feels abstract

521
00:25:29.440 --> 00:25:31.119
<v Speaker 2>and distant will the one hundred dollars I gave to

522
00:25:31.160 --> 00:25:34.119
<v Speaker 2>product Share feels more tangible than a similar donation to

523
00:25:34.160 --> 00:25:37.440
<v Speaker 2>an organization that focuses on climate change. Again, I know

524
00:25:37.519 --> 00:25:40.440
<v Speaker 2>that's not the logical or rational decision, but it feels

525
00:25:40.519 --> 00:25:43.000
<v Speaker 2>right to me, and Product Share does good work, So

526
00:25:43.119 --> 00:25:45.559
<v Speaker 2>even if I probably should have done something different, it's

527
00:25:45.559 --> 00:25:47.559
<v Speaker 2>not like giving to a food bank is a bad thing.

528
00:25:47.759 --> 00:25:50.640
<v Speaker 2>So there social offset. If you think I should have

529
00:25:50.640 --> 00:25:52.559
<v Speaker 2>done differently, feel free to make your own donation to

530
00:25:52.599 --> 00:25:54.920
<v Speaker 2>the charity of your choice and comment if you do.

531
00:25:55.079 --> 00:25:56.839
<v Speaker 2>I would love for this video to have a bigger

532
00:25:56.880 --> 00:25:59.960
<v Speaker 2>positive impact than negative, and the bigger the difference, the better.

533
00:26:00.279 --> 00:26:02.880
<v Speaker 2>But yeah, that's it for this one. Today's common to

534
00:26:02.880 --> 00:26:05.480
<v Speaker 2>the Day comes just from Scott Yark, who says if

535
00:26:05.519 --> 00:26:07.279
<v Speaker 2>he made Adam out of dirt, then why didn't he

536
00:26:07.359 --> 00:26:10.319
<v Speaker 2>just make Eve out of another pile of dust. Well,

537
00:26:10.480 --> 00:26:13.160
<v Speaker 2>my understanding is that, particularly in chapters two and three

538
00:26:13.160 --> 00:26:16.240
<v Speaker 2>of Genesis, there's a whole lot of eteology going on,

539
00:26:16.319 --> 00:26:18.559
<v Speaker 2>where a myth is used to explain certain aspects of

540
00:26:18.640 --> 00:26:20.599
<v Speaker 2>daily life for them. In the case of Eve not

541
00:26:20.640 --> 00:26:22.960
<v Speaker 2>being made from another dirt pile, it's because the Hebrew

542
00:26:23.000 --> 00:26:25.079
<v Speaker 2>word for woman has its root in the Hebrew word

543
00:26:25.119 --> 00:26:27.680
<v Speaker 2>for man. So this story is trying to explain that

544
00:26:27.720 --> 00:26:30.440
<v Speaker 2>the reason woman comes from man in the linguistic sense

545
00:26:30.720 --> 00:26:33.519
<v Speaker 2>is because woman came from man in the creation sense.

546
00:26:33.839 --> 00:26:36.279
<v Speaker 2>This is just one of many aspects of the Bible

547
00:26:36.319 --> 00:26:39.400
<v Speaker 2>that the literalists miss out on completely. It is actually

548
00:26:39.480 --> 00:26:43.240
<v Speaker 2>quite interesting from an anthropological standpoint, but if you insist

549
00:26:43.279 --> 00:26:45.680
<v Speaker 2>that the story is literal, then you lose out on

550
00:26:45.720 --> 00:26:48.079
<v Speaker 2>a good chunk of the actual meaning of the story.

551
00:26:48.279 --> 00:26:50.440
<v Speaker 2>Thanks for watching. I'll be back next Friday with more,

552
00:26:50.440 --> 00:26:52.039
<v Speaker 2>but if you need to get your rhinofix in before then,

553
00:26:52.039 --> 00:26:53.960
<v Speaker 2>I last room with service every Wednesday eight thirty Eastern

554
00:26:54.000 --> 00:26:56.640
<v Speaker 2>on my other channel, The Watering Hole, and periodically publish

555
00:26:56.680 --> 00:26:59.200
<v Speaker 2>shorts on the channel Vice Rhino Shorts. There were actually

556
00:26:59.240 --> 00:27:01.720
<v Speaker 2>some aspects of my conversation with Ai Jesus that weren't

557
00:27:01.839 --> 00:27:04.079
<v Speaker 2>entirely relevant to what I was talking about today, but

558
00:27:04.160 --> 00:27:06.240
<v Speaker 2>I definitely have things to say about it, so I

559
00:27:06.279 --> 00:27:08.160
<v Speaker 2>will make some shorts out of it. Subscribe over there

560
00:27:08.160 --> 00:27:09.960
<v Speaker 2>so you don't miss them. Thanks and Piper for being

561
