James Dominic Rooney critiques David Bentley Hart for rejecting the Thomistic distinction between God’s antecedent and consequent will, arguing that this rejection undermines the ability to maintain God’s goodness in the face of evil.
Conversations with AI are so interesting. I find that my LLM tends to mirror me over time, and I've see in it a certain willingness to confirm my biases without pushing back. I often tell it (her - Macrina!) that I need brutal honesty and all the objectivity it can bring to bear on a question. I can sometimes see the difference in its responses. Other times I log out and simply have the conversation with AI outside the influence of any history of conversation. But I agree - such a powerful tool!
Yes. I find that all 6 of the engines I use have a tendency to go along to get along. They're most useful when their first few responses provide a foil to my stance, against which I can push-back. They then too often fold like a cheap tent and offer gratuitous flattery regarding such as my brilliant introduction of better nuance. Perhaps that's a design artifact left over from their early pioneering of the technology with A.I. Girlfriends. ;>)
