    I miss that sub as well. I wish they had a once a week open mic kinda deal.

    Chatgpt works wonders for this btw. I noticed something in Mark I didn’t get a few months ago. No one responded to my question in that sub but chatgpt was there ready to engage. It is loaded with biblical scholarship and can even do a bit of speculation.

      ChatGPT is very susceptible to poor source selection when it comes to biblical scholarship because of the preponderance of apologetics online, just be aware.

      And I have been copying the open discussion threads into !AcademicBiblical@lemmy.world (created by one of the mods from the sub) in the hopes that there’s eventually a bit of activity over there in turn. Feel free to repost the question in one of those and given the relative silence so far, it might stand out a bit more in terms of getting an answer?

        Yeah I appreciate the warning and I have noticed it has a slant. Still for nitty gritty stuff it is amazing. Mark for example is a fairly terse. So I had it do a unique word count on it and compared it to unique word counts in other Greek Documents and confirmed it. That would have been a fairly painful project only a few months ago.

        I took your advice and posted. https://lemmy.world/post/2354097 I guess I have Mark on my mind today. Haha
