alt Hacker NewsI had to use an LLM to find out what a Christian Apologetic was. Apparently this means people or groups who seek to actively defend Christian beliefs (presumably against skeptics, atheists, etc) through formal reasoning and evidence.

Apologetics comes from the greek work "apologia" which means "speaking in defense".

Imagine complaining that an LLM is hallucinating, because it's not accurately hallucinating your delusion.

In practice, I've found them to be more... convincing to the authors than the skeptics.
