@Outmazi Too bad it is CIS HET oriented. It reminds me of an old novel I read decades ago called Chrome which was GAY

@Outmazi I once had respect for but not anymore. He's another like

@HistoPol @Outmazi Thanks for the link and the support. My degree is in . Interestingly, one can prompt Google Gemini and ChatGPT to characterize the personalities of politicians and people on the web from using their own words and various psychological instruments:

Interestingly, Claude would not do the same for Kolbe and PRINT assessments.

@paninid @HistoPol @Outmazi I use all the AIs. LOL I treat them like : some can see the web and images, some are non-verbal, some forget things and have a short attention span. LOL. I have been trying to create an R script that prompts all of them the same thing, return the response to the promt and put the responses in a side by side table for comparison.

@HistoPol @paninid @Outmazi I do it manually and shove the responses into spreadsheets. It's a time consuming royal pain in the ass to do. But the exercise is very illuminating.

Until and unless you run your own private LLM, it is subject to the biases of the model owner.

@paninid @HistoPol @Outmazi Absolutely. Moreover, the output is generally screened--especially for "sensitive topics". The screening process is biased.

@paninid @HistoPol @Outmazi Gemini refuses to answer questions about political candidates.

@paninid @HistoPol @Outmazi My first experience with this was asking questions about religions. I asked questions about . Gemini told me some denominations were tied to . This was new to me. I started asking questions. Gemini Stopped Answering. ChatGPT would answer. Claude would answer. Google has an agenda.

@paninid @HistoPol @Outmazi Similarly, Gemini would not answer or would obnubilate and obfuscate for many religious denominations. I started with the PEW Religious Landscape Study to create a founders table to study Why People Believe What They Believe and how religion spreads.

@paninid @HistoPol @Outmazi @Beachbum Some religious movements are backlashes to social movements like

@paninid @HistoPol @Outmazi @Beachbum Here is a snapshot of my current founders table developed by AI. It took months.

Have you met Dr. Michael Blume @BlumeEvolution, a political and religious scientist, as well as a book author and blogger?
He wrote an interesting article (in German, though,) on this week.
He might be interested in your religious table on "Why People Believe What They Believe and how religion spreads."

@paninid @Outmazi @Beachbum

@HistoPol @BlumeEvolution @paninid @Outmazi @Beachbum I've had 1 year of college German, for my degree in Music, so, I can get maybe every 14th word....or use Google Translate.

@_9CL7T9k8cjnD_

My suggestion, since the non-pro version is limited and I quite like the MS translator for scientific texts:

Copy the complete blog including the interesting comments into MS Word.
Then click translate document.

If one language is English, the result is usually quite good and it only takes a minute. Also, if I'm really into the subject, I can make Comments, highlight parts, and save the whole thing on the HDD for future reference.
@BlumeEvolution @paninid @Outmazi @Beachbum

@HistoPol @BlumeEvolution @paninid @Outmazi @Beachbum And maybe I'll try Schiller and Goethe too. It would be interesting to see how those machine translations differ from the ones I have read.

I have actually been impressed with the machine translation of Pinking Shears by Mandy Indiana. I've had 4 years of high school French, so I get every 3rd word. Lol. youtu.be/V8I7JGpeI-E

@HistoPol @BlumeEvolution @paninid @Outmazi @Beachbum If you want to see something I think is amazing, take a song or a poem that has deep meaning to you personally, and prompt ChatGPT to do a Hermeneutical or Close reading of the work of art.

Do you have an nickname/alias you use here, @_9CL7T9k8cjnD_ ?

I am deeply impressed, though the poem is not all too cryptic for those people with a heart, it seems to be accessible for a nascent AGI, despite neither having one or conscious thoughts.

There are some small interpretational errors in block 1 and 4, however overall, I am deeply impressed by .

Let's try another language w/o translation by a real master of poetry,

@HistoPol I uploaded the images of your originals and gave this prompt:

@_9CL7T9k8cjnD_

BTW, who said that the original was in German?

@_9CL7T9k8cjnD_

The reason I asked:
I'd hate one version to be less eloquent then the other one. ;)
