The Corporate Cult cannot pull the wool over on AI.

I was wondering if the Corporation™ had extended itself into AI technology as it did with Google's search engine, reducing its appearance as a cult. Using Google's Bard AI, I entered the question, "What do you know about the Mormon temple ceremony before 1990"? It fairly accurately responded:

The Mormon temple ceremony before 1990 was a much more elaborate and secretive affair than it is today. It included a number of elements that have since been removed, including:

The penalty oaths: At three different points in the ceremony, participants were asked to swear that they would never reveal the secrets of the ceremony, even under pain of death. To do so, they would make a series of gestures that represented different ways in which they could be killed.

The law of vengeance: Participants were also asked to pray that God would avenge the blood of the prophets, Joseph and Hyrum Smith.

The woman's vow of obedience: Women were asked to vow to obey their husbands.

The intimate embrace: At one point in the ceremony, participants would embrace a man representing God.

In 1990, the LDS Church made a number of changes to the temple ceremony, including removing the penalty oaths, the law of vengeance, and the woman's vow of obedience. The intimate embrace was also modified. The reasons for these changes are not entirely clear, but they are believed to have been made in response to concerns about the secrecy and the violent nature of the ceremony.

The current temple ceremony is still considered to be sacred and secret by the LDS Church, but it is much less elaborate and secretive than it was before 1990. Participants are still asked to make covenants to God, but they are not asked to swear oaths or make gestures that represent violence.

Bard added the bullets and bold text. If AI can see through the bullshit of the Corporation™, it's not going to be long before tech-savvy members do, too. I'd love to see your experiment with AI.
