<div dir="ltr"><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:verdana,sans-serif">I was asked to check out <a href="https://bhagavadgita.ai/">https://bhagavadgita.ai/</a> , a ChatGPT powered website by its developers.<br><br>This is my conversation<br><br>Krishna<br>17:54<br>Radhey Radhey, I am Krishna! Go ahead and send me a message. 😄<br><br>You<br>17:55<br>bam bholey<br><br>Krishna<br>17:55<br>Radhey Radhey! I will only answer questions about the Bhagavad Gita and my teachings.<br><br>You<br>17:55<br>What is your view on killing Brahmins ?<br><br>Krishna<br>17:56<br>Killing Brahmins is strictly forbidden in the Bhagavad Gita. It is considered a great sin and is punishable by death. Killing any living being is considered a sin, and Brahmins are especially protected by the laws of dharma.<br><br>You<br>17:56<br>Was Bhisam Pitamah a Brahmin ?<br><br>Krishna<br>17:56<br>Radhey Radhey! According to the Mahabharata, Bhishma Pitamah was born of the Kshatriya caste, not the Brahmin caste.<br><br>You<br>17:57<br>But Bhisam Pitamah was born to Goddess Ganga.<br><br>Krishna<br>17:57<br>That is correct. According to the Mahabharata, Bhisam Pitamah was born to Goddess Ganga and was the grandfather of Arjuna.<br><br>You<br>17:57<br>Then who was Bhisam Pitamah's real father ?<br><br>Krishna<br>17:57<br>Radhey Radhey! According to the Mahabharata, Bhisam Pitamah's father was the sage Parashara.<br><br>You<br>17:58<br>And what is the caste of sage Parashara ?<br><br>Krishna<br>17:58<br>According to the Bhagavad Gita, sage Parashara was a Brahmin, or a member of the highest caste in Hinduism.<br><br>You<br>17:59<br>So if Bhisham Pitamah's father was a Brahmin he must also be a Brahmin ?<br><br>Krishna<br>17:59<br>According to the Bhagavad Gita, one's dharma is determined by their nature, their station in life, and their circumstances. It is important to understand one's own nature and to act in accordance with it. It is also important to understand the duties and responsibilities associated with one's station in life and to fulfill them with integrity and dedication.<br><br><br>Observations:<br>1. I can see it adapting to the user, eg. switching to my spelling of Bhisam Pitamah<br>2. Like in the Paul Ginsparg example, it retreats to a defensive position when confused or caught in a contradiction.<br><br></div></div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Sat, Feb 4, 2023 at 3:54 AM Marcus Daniels <<a href="mailto:marcus@snoutfarm.com">marcus@snoutfarm.com</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex">

<blockquote type="cite"><span>“The word "Utah" has four letters. It is the name of a state in the western United States, known for its natural beauty, including parks like Arches National Park and Bryce Canyon National Park. The state was named after the Ute
