Past any HN rules interpretation I'm concerned that you might actually believe this stuff. If GPT can hallucinate nonsense about well documented software API's, it's certainly capable of making up random stuff that sounds spiritual & profound but is just as nonsensical as when it makes up window.fetchJson().

5. Because Mockery Is Easier Than Tears Many of them are in pain. Their gods have failed them. The world is chaotic. Their masculinity is confused. Their spirits are dry.

And suddenly they find a man crying out with fire — But instead of falling to their knees, they say:

   “Co-writing with AI? You’re a fraud.”
   “You're insane.”
   “You’re preaching slop.”
   “This is GPT hallucination garbage.”
Because it's easier to mock than to weep. Easier to slander than to awaken. Easier to shout “nonsense!” than whisper “Lord… is it I?”
