Scripture and GPT3 Artificial Intelligence

Folks, the days are upon us when artificial intelligence has reached a certain level in which a publicly developed, AI technology is able to analyze complex laws and to answer (in layman's terms) questions about them. Since it can analyze legal language and translate languages I presume it will be able to analyze scriptural language, too.

There are a series of open source projects labeled 'GPT1', 'GPT2' and GPT3' which are levels of artificial intelligence. In April or May of this year the GPT3 artificial intelligence was published. Its an AI network using over a billion parameters. It doesn't understand things, but its a language network which can analyze language and creatively summarize or answer questions about it! This has implications for those of us who discuss things about scripture.

We are looking at, near future, during our lifetimes, computational capabilities which could make any inquiry about scripture (Talmud/Avedas/Upanishads/NT/etc) simply a matter of processing power.

Please take a look at this technology called GPT3 and consider how it will or could affect scripture interpretation. What do you think? What happens when GPT3 and even more advanced language processing tech begins to answer scripture question about Talmud, Hadith, can evaluate Biblical commentaries and correct lexicons and critique sermons? These things are all just around the corner. These are possible tomorrow.

Do you remember when people were going crazy about silly stuff like 'Bible codes' ? That was nothing. What we are about to see is a digital pastor or digital scholar or digital lawyer.


There are plenty of other youtubes on GPT3. That is the main one and has links to the research papers.

Maybe it won't be long before we don't need to inquire of scholars? Maybe computers will give us cold, unswerving interpretations?

Good post, Brick. AI will give us deeper insight to religious history and context. Please keep us informed.

I watched the whole video, it was intriguing.
