      Not op, but i assume they just mean talking to an llm about spiritual topics. Especially local ai, if you pick a less censored model so it doesnt constantly spit refusals, they can hold conversations on difficult topics pretty well now. Whether that is politics, religion, law, finance, medicine, or roleplaying porn, doesnt really matter to the llm.

        I mean you have the utmost expert there for whatever the hell you want. Understand it has biases and flaws like any teacher. But damn you’re missing out if you didn’t have deep talks about philosophy, examine your studies deeper. I don’t mind who uses it or not, just feeling a bit of intolerance here in Lemmy I didn’t expect, just a curious note.

          You can thank the ai companies for the intolerance, many are okay with the technology itself.

          I wouldn’t equate it with any human teacher still though. Even someone who has difficulty saying “i don’t know.” Has less difficulty saying it than LLMs do, hallucinations are an unsolved problem for now.
