Fear not

[mikbone]

Guess how many times the term ‘fear not’ is used in the bible.

I cheated and used ChatGPT.

All day, erry day!

62 (LDS edition, not including footnotes, TG, etc.)

ETA: 48 in the OT; 14 in the NT.

ChatGPT produces that the New International Version (NIV) contains 365 occurrences.

Only 74 in the KJV, 14 in the BoM, 5 in the D&C, 3 in the PoGP

I pulled PDFs of the LDS edition of the Bible (one for OT, one for NT) and searched the literal phrase "fear not", without footnotes or study aids.  Same search in the BofM shows 10 (more in the index, but I didn't count that as it's just duplicating).  Heaven knows what ChatGPT is counting.

Yup, I think ChatGPT needs some re-programming. 

I assume that it has been printed enough that ('fear not' is found 365x in the bible) - that the programming just assumed that it was correct.

When I had it actually send back the accounts per book - in the KJV - it didn't add up.  And even in those accounts it counted every instance wherein the word fear itself was used.  

ChatGPT reminds me of Cheese.

It reminds me of any official HR communication from the HR department.  Engineered to sound good, delivers a bland message with hidden nuance, and any association with the truth is purely coincidental.
