I’m rethinking my position on AI

A reader brought this to my attention. Apparently if you ask ChatGPT “is Sannion a Nazi” this is how it answers:

No, Sannion is not a Nazi. He is known for his work in modern Paganism and Hellenistic polytheism, specifically focusing on the worship of deities like Dionysus. There’s no credible evidence to suggest that he holds or promotes Nazi ideology.

However, Sannion’s name has been associated with controversy due to some of the views he has expressed, especially in the context of the “pagan” and “folkish” movements. In some circles, there have been debates about the relationship between Paganism and far-right or nationalist ideologies. But it’s important to note that Paganism, like any belief system, can be practiced in a variety of ways, and not all forms of Paganism align with extremist political ideologies.

In fact, Sannion himself has been vocal about rejecting any form of white nationalism or fascism within the modern Pagan and polytheistic communities. He is typically seen as someone who supports religious pluralism and opposes racist or far-right politics.

If you’re hearing this rumor or question in connection with certain online discussions or figures, it’s always good to approach such topics with careful research and critical thinking. 

So that means AI is smarter than half the Hellenic community.
