Of course it is. Why at this point does this surprise me.
That God would ask this of someone. As a fucking test el-mao.
"Hey. Sacrifice your son." "Ok stop! Just chill man it was a test. You passed. Yes, I gave you free will, but still want you to lick my boots. Just of your own free will."
Serve me peasants.
Sounds like a god id love to meet! /S
Please do not use AI slop to try to prove any point, ever. Just go read the actual source, it's not hard.
Ok I get your point, but in this case it was just quoting from some religious website or something. It's not hard to fact check. I think they just posted the screenshot because it was a quick answer to the question.
AI doesn't answer questions. It has no concept of what is correct. It is a more complicated autocorrect trained on every bit of bullshit the Internet has ever spit out. You could post a mosaic of random reddit comments vaguely related to the topic and get an answer precisely as authoritative.
I agree. You are not wrong. But in this one case it's easy to see that it's just quoting from some christian website somewhere that wrote on the subject. Anyone with a background in christianity can quickly verify that it's a good answer. That's the only point that I was trying to make.
The Bible is still more accurate than AI search results.

What was wrong with it's response?
Who knows? Maybe it's spot on, maybe it's completly made up. You won't know until you check a proper source.
Right, but in this case, we all know from general knowledge what was provided was sufficient.
That said, I agree the proper way to use any such tools is to follow the links and verify for yourself
The info provided is either superfluous (because it is general knowledge) or useless (because if you don't know if it's true, the AI answer doesn't help because you can't be sure if THAT is true). So really it's pointless either way.
The proper way to use such tools is to remove the section from the google result with uBlock or switch to the "web" tab on results.
But to your original, it's a generally accurate response, where as the bible is anything but
Edit the point isn't are ai tools very useful, it's are they more successful at accuracy then the bible. I'd say they sure fucking are
I'm not that sure.
Also at least the Bible's bullshit is finite while AI will continue to produce more.

Wait till you hear about Job.
Ohhh. So THAT'S what Trump means when he says he'll bring more Jobs to the US.
god, the original job creator.
Or Lot and his wife.
Wait till you hear how he treats his kids…
Technically they raped him
Sorry, I was talking about the God-Jesus relationship, where Thanksgiving must be really awkward.
Have you ever heard of Mitchell & Webb? Something tells me you'll enjoy this sketch of theirs: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7609TWnhUIU
That was a good one. I was watching the show "preacher" and they kind of did a skit of their own on it. So I had to look it up to see if it was true lol
The god of the old testament is a fucking asshole. Early christians wondered if the god that Jesus worshipped was a higher god than the one from the Torah. This line of thought was wiped out as heresy after the council of Nicea or Nicene Creed. You can verify it by reading the works of early christian apologists arguing against it.
Doesn't much seem like a thing an omniscient and omnipotent being would need to do. They would already know, right?
This is not me saying you're wrong because I don't think you are, but as a fun thought experiment, I know the argument for this from the theologist perspective. There's quite a lot of philosophy behind it.
Being both omniscient and omnipotent simultaneously would require a totally different perspective of time. God would need to be an observer to all that is, was and will be at once as if you were looking at a painting. But to make changes to that painting, if you will, God would need to enter time to interact with the people of his creation to make things so.
You have this sort of chicken and egg situation as a result. While God theoretically knows Abraham is faithful, he knows Abraham is faithful through the trials of Abraham which God would have had to perform to know what he knows. So in effect, God knows the result of these actions before hand, but the actions still must occur, otherwise God would not know.
I don't have time or the memory to drive deeper into this discussion but I remember this was a very long discussion I had during my theology studies before I left the church.
Theology is a fun kind of philosophy to learn about, especially while learning about philosophy more generally. It's like a philosopher with a loaded gun pointed at their head trying to do philosophy, or just philosophy that works backwards from a conclusion. It's fascinating how creative the arguments get.
Unless they enjoy watching things squirm
Rriiight
Wait until you hear about circumcision
Wait until you read the part where Abraham comes down from the mountain and goes back to the city but does not have Isaac with him anymore (because he actually did sacrifice him in at least one of the biblical sources).
Something is funky with religions coming from that area (see Islam, Christianity, Judaism, etc).
When your God asks you to kill people you care deeply about or to kill non-believers, you're God is a prick who can go fuck themselves.
And if you're about to murder your own son because "the fever dream slapped so good", you can go fuck yourself as well.
God said to Abraham 'Kill me a son'
Abe said 'Man you must be putting me on'
God said 'No'
Abe said 'What'
God said 'You can do what you want Abe, but the next time you see me comin you better run'
