Mr. Chan might use AI, as he asked me to bet on scripture propositions (P1 and P2), which goes against my beliefs.

But, AI can be used as a tool, as long as people do not fully rely on it. Remember, stuff are double edged swords, so we can use it for good, or for bad. Sadly, most people use AI for bad.
I agree with what you're saying. But I don't know the motives of the people using it. Some may be using it out of convenience, while others may be using it out of spite to stir up trouble. I have thought about using it myself, but have not done so yet.

Agreed. There are three types of AI users. The first ones are the ones for convenience, the second for stirring up trouble, and the third as a way to augment Bible studies. I am part of the 3rd category. In fact, I would have been less likely to study the word of God if it wasn't for the Mistral 7B AI installed on my laptop since late-March 2024. It has helped me understand how to apply 2000 year old scripture to daily life, though I do double check it with other sources if anything seems off. :)

It helped me understand Thessalonians 5:22 a bit better, and runs entirely offline, on my computer's RAM and CPU.

I think you're using it the right way.

Hey, thank you. Just trying to glorify God's Kingdom with technology (Open Bible, Mistral 7B AI, LibreOffice), and discernment (asking the right questions, double checking the verses and AI output, and adding a life anecdote).

Direct quote from Open Bible: "Always check the context of a verse; that’s why the links are there. The context of a verse might put a very different slant on what the verse seems to say. The Bible isn’t a Magic 8-Ball or a fortune cookie, so don’t treat it like one, OK?"

You don't need a Sun. You can build a gaming PC that can run Mistral, using NVIDIA 4090 GPU. Mistral 8x22 should do the trick.

Yes I know. I wouldn’t purchase a Sun for that purpose. I do love their hardware however.

Interesting stuff. Send a photo of your setup when your are done building your Mistral AI machine.
