What’s the main reason, not reasons, on why you are a Christian?

Woah!!! :scream_cat:

I think I gave the machine (ChatGPT) a run for its money:

Generic question about an infinite series through successive addition, and a follow up comment confirming a program can complete an infinite number of tasks, gave me this response:

“In theory, a program can complete an infinite number of tasks, as long as the tasks can be described algorithmically and the program has access to an infinite amount of resources (such as memory, processing power, etc.). In practice, however, all programs have limitations in terms of resources and time, so they may not be able to perform an infinite number of tasks.”

At one point do the number of tasks go from a finite number to an infinite number?

(I expected an error, but instead got a flashing cursor for 30 seconds maybe, felt longer, and the following text came up slowly)

“The transition from a finite number of tasks to an infinite number of tasks is not a well-defined concept, as it depends on the definition of “finite” and “infinite.” In mathematical terms, a finite set is a set that has a finite number of elements, while an infinite set is a set that has an infinite number of elements. In the context of a program or a computer system, the number of tasks that can be performed can be considered finite if the available resources (such as memory, processing power, etc.) are limited. When the available resources are unlimited or extremely large, it may be possible to perform an unlimited or extremely large number of tasks, which can be considered to approach infinity. However, even in this case, there may still be practical limitations that prevent the program from actually performing an infinite number of tasks.”

(and then as if checking its answer, the cursor blinked for a few more moments before it completed the response)
