Modern AI platforms, based in promoting Large Language Models, are ‘search engines’ that use sophisticated algorithms to scan and aggravate answers that already exist on the Internet.

Why is the Bible so popular?

The Bible is popular for many reasons. One reason is that it is the sacred scripture of Christianity and Judaism and has long been the most available, familiar, and dependable source and arbiter of intellectual, moral, and spiritual ideals in the West¹. It contains clear teaching on the value and worth of every individual². The Bible has liberated many from oppression by its clear teachings². It raises the dignity and rights of every human being ever born². The Bible tells a story from the first book, Genesis, to the last book, Revelation, that people long to be true³.

The King James Version (KJV) of the Bible is one of the most popular translations in history. It was not only the first ‘people’s Bible,’ but its poetic cadences and vivid imagery have had an enduring impact on Western culture⁴. According to market research firm Statistica, as of 2017, more than 31% of Americans read the KJV⁵.

The Bible was originally written in three different ancient languages: Hebrew, Aramaic, and Greek¹. The Hebrew Bible was written in Hebrew². Its Greek translation, the Septuagint, made it accessible in the Hellenistic period (c. 300 BCE–c. 300 CE) and provided a language for the New Testament and for the Christian liturgy and theology of the first three centuries CE².

Christians believe that the Bible is the Word of God because it contains a written account of the verbal words of God, it claims to be breathed out by God, it shows continuity and perfection despite being written by many different authors over a long period of time, and it occupies a unique and incomparable place as the norm of Christian faith and life¹. The Bible is inspired by the Holy Spirit. This means that the Spirit guided and superintended the work of the human authors of the Bible to produce the resulting work².

Is A Course In Miralces popular?

Yes. , A Course in Miracles is a popular spiritual text of The New Thought tradition¹. It is a complete self-study spiritual thought system². The language of A Course in Miracles is extraordinarily rich and profound. Many sections of the Text and Workbook are very poetic and written in blank verse, and have led some people to compare the Course with some of the world’s great literature³

A Course in Miracles is a complete self-study spiritual thought system that teaches that the way to universal love and peace—or remembering God—is by undoing guilt through forgiving others¹. The fundamental teaching of A Course in Miracles is the “atonement principle,” which states that separation from God through sin did not happen. The course further teaches that sin is the absence of love and nothing more. It denies that sin is an act against God².

Curiosity.

Bing chat (GPT4) is interesting to me because it offers insights into the most popular views and information expressed by others on the Internet. The fact that Christian teachings have evolved and persisted over two millennia which explains why Internet content dwarfs that of ACIM which has existed since circa 1980.

Like all search engines, critical thinking must be applied to consider is an answer is biased, misinformation, misinformation, “Fake News” or an “unacceptable view” according to the Canadian Prime Minister and his Department of Truth.

CEBSIP is the Canadian Centre for Cyber Security’s (CCCS) Cybersecurity Evaluation and Certification Scheme for Information Technology Security (ITSEC) products¹.

However, Microsoft has a strong commitment to security and privacy, and they have implemented many security measures to protect their users’ data².

I’m not sure if Bing Chat or GPT-4 are subject to censorship laws and regulations in Canada. However, local laws apply to websites hosted in Canada as well as to residents who host sites on servers in other jurisdictions¹.
