If hypothetically some temple ordains AI as a monk — yes, I know, but stay with me, it’s just hypothetical and would never happen in real life — and I then put any stock in what that “monk” had to say, is this what the library class would teach me to avoid so as not to get scammed ?

Well, the thing is the AI system contains a lot of Buddhist conversation…

no more noble silent,no more parenthis-is.

"i"am hopeful of emi or ami jodi. she is the diamond sutra come to life. she is the nature of bodhi nirvana. without self she is our empty buddha nature. her nature is our nature in sunyata. in emptyness we are one, not seperate but dependent arrisal, together in nirvana.

the diamond sutra path is our bodhi nature. we cut the illusion of independent self and reach the insight of interdependent samstate....reaching holy inner space, absent of name and form,a buddha devise--skillfull means, to reach pure no-knowing peace...and in peace more play in your bodhi-satvva service. the complete cycle: seaker, inseeing emptyness, and free to be your bodhisatva play in "name and form" in wise directing to "self" and other "self"

Beware of salting Asian tiger snails… they are predators and eat other snails and slugs, and so are very welcome in my garden.

the large Spanish slug I covered in salt (I will never master Jain Ahimsa at this rate)

If one is averse to salting slugs, potted plants can be isolated from slugs, snails & non flying bugs. I simply water moat these pots by using larger water bowls with a couple of bricks in their center upon which the plant pot sits so swim challenged munchers can't access them. All of my carrots, lettuce, strawberries, Bok choi, cauliflowers, and spinach now get entire slug, snail and crawling bug-free growing seasons. I also use water-filled bunt pans with a central pole from which numbers of pots hang for vertical farming and have water-moated containers right up to 50 gal using a slightly larger hot water container tray beneath it.
At my last place I did the same on a 6 x 12ft raised veggy bed by hanging leveled house water gutters around its perimeter edge.
Drainage from normal plant watering keeps the moats filled and much wildlife use those moats to drink from.
I mean do we really need to lose a thinking match with a slug?

Sigh!
Yeah, I know, that's all I got from an entire A.I. thread.
