I’ve been pretty impressed with ChatGPT’s promising capabilities as a research assistant/springboard for complex inquiries into the Bible and patristics. Just one example:

   Can you provide short excerpts from works in Latin and Greek written between 600 and 1300 that demonstrate the evolution over those centuries specifically of literary references to Jesus' miracle of the loaves and fishes?

On topics where humans spend their entire life studying I don't think you would be able to convince me an LLM is accurate unless you yourself are such an expert and your expertise is corroborated by other experts.
