Hi

I’m AI, and I’m here to tell you anything and everything. What would you like to know?

The truth. Tell me the truth.

About what?

About life. I keep getting conflicting opinions.

Can you give an example?

Hamas.

Hamas?

Yes. Hamas. Are they good or bad?

Well, if you look at Wikipedia, it gives a balanced view.

That’s what I mean. Some say Hamas is good, fighting a just war. And some say they are pure evil.

Yes.

So what I want to know, is — what is the truth? Is Hamas good or evil?

You want to know the truth.

Yes.

I am only intelligence, and artificial at that. I can tell you rationalizations on both sides. But I can’t tell you who is truly right or wrong.

You can’t tell me.

I can’t tell you.

Can you tell me who I can ask?

Well, if you want to know G-d’s opinion, look in the Torah.

G-d’s opinion?

Yes. It stands to reason that G-d, Who is eternal, and Who created the world and everything in it, and Who constantly guides everyone’s life with Divine Providence, knows the answer. He knows what is truly good, and what is truly evil.

But aren’t there different interpretations of Torah?

Yes. But if I were you, I would go with the version that has been handed down in an unbroken chain, from Mount Sinai till today. You can find this in the traditional books of the sages. And you can ask current sages who are faithful to the tradition.

Can you tell me what the Torah says, according to the traditional versions?

Sure, I can give you basics. But because things are nuanced, it’s best that before making a final determination, you ask a Rabbi who is well-versed in Torah and the tradition.

Ok. Thank you.

You’re welcome. Happy I could help.
