"What The Bible Says" ...

I like to follow the interesting AI question suggestions. "Ya, that's a good question. Let me ask." 😀

The grammar for the question is sometimes, "what does the Bible say about… "
My complaint is it doesn't respond with what the Bible says about the subject, but what people say the Bible says about the subject. When the question is literally what the Bible says, why is the reply anything other than what the Bible says?

Interpretation? That wasn't the question. Did I ask what Augustine, Luther and Calvin said about it? Was my question what the authors in my library said about that, or was my question what does the Bible say about that? Because those are not the same authors.

I tried the suggestion question again today. This is why I'm getting cranky over the grammar: Someone tell your AI that the word "Yahweh" is not found in the Bible.

Red means not found. Your find tool knows this but your AI bot doesn't.

I could go on about that, but the complaint is the grammar. "What does the Bible say" means what does the Bible say.

@ASUNDER There is a fundamental cause for your concern - AI cannot read and "understand" texts. It only uses patterns and probabilities to simulate understanding. And from its training, it knows that there is no common agreement as to what the Bible says about anything.

A large language model has one and only one job. To read and understand my text.

Yea there is no common agreement about what the Bible says, but that wasn't the question. It was just to answer my question of what the Bible said. Hey I'm not the one who puts the question suggestions in there (grey text). Faithlife puts in there "what does the Bible say" and then you type that out exactly, then it doesn't tell you what the Bible says.
