At least according to Bing Chat AI!
I asked it to consider the archaeological, zoological, botanical, linguistic, literary, and genetic evidence and tell me what is the likelihood that the Book of Mormon is a true story. It gave me a few paragraphs of general discussion and concluded with:
"Thousands of hours of research have produced the current blossoming of Book of Mormon studies that bless the lives of Latter-day Saints. They cannot be lightly brushed aside. The conclusion of the matter is that much modern evidence supports the more powerful witness of the Holy Ghost that the Book of Mormon is true."
I noticed that most of the most of the references cited churchofjesuschrist.org, fairlatterdaysaints.org, and bookofmormoncentral.org
How heavily has the church invested in Microsoft???

Wow.
So Holy the Ghost can "bear witness" to Bing Chat AI?
Maybe Bing Chat AI has been fasting, praying, and paying 15% tithing so the Ghost constantly dwelleth within it's circuitry?

Maybe Bing Chat AI has several shell companies, hiding the donations it received from lds.corp.

This reminds me of the dude on Twitter that said he asked Chat GPT to write the Book of Mormon with a whole ton of prerequisites and Chat GPT said they couldn't do it so the only conclusion therefore is that the BoM is true and joseph could've never written it.

I don't know any specifics on how ChatGPT work, so this is a guess.
When asked a question, the software does a web search based on the critera provided. IT looks at the first few websites to some up to see if the info meet's it's critera. Once it has enough info, it goes onto the next part of the program to generate the answer. Because of this, the results are going to be based on what pops up on top. We know that LDSinc. does a lot to stay on top of search engine results. So what ChatGPT comes up with is based n the SEO of what is is searching for.

Maybe we're missing the point.
Has anyone asked Bing Chat AI what It's definition of True™ is?
(Also: Maybe tell It to ignore sources from LD$-Inc.)
Edit: Also Hagoth: If you remember the exact question you asked Bing Chat AI, you should try posing the same question to ChatGPT. Scientifically speaking, it would be fun to compare results from "competing" AI chat-bots.

Good example of why AI isn't going to improve humanity or make people more informed. Just even easier to confirm your biases because AI will have an unearned air of authority

I think Microsoft and Apple are the two top stocks owned by the Church. Tesla is way down on the list with only over a half billion owned.
Good faith does not require evidence, but it also does not turn a blind eye to that evidence. Otherwise, it becomes misplaced faith.
