Having a trained LLM AI model for Pali canon would be great!

There are no doubts, AI has been active in many fields and having its own fans and enemies. Regardless of our agreement to give it a voice to express itself or not, there are still other ways to use AI such as just extracting existing info directly as they are with no change, which can be hugely beneficial .

There is this general view about AI that they hallucinate which is true but it is avoidable. They are often big models which are holding lots of info, so the hallucination can happen. But there are ways to avoid it if you “train a small model for specific tasks“.

There are thousands of Suttas and we may often have difficulty to find the ones which would match the situation we are encountering. It is a common difficulty most Buddhists have with suttas. A fine-tuned ragged AI model can give you exactly what you inquire . I hope someone who is into training models and a buddhist as well, sees this someday and does something. We’d be all thankful. :relieved_face:
