Hypothetical Podcast Debate about Advaita

[Amaresh B C]

Respected Members,

From a long time I am trying to get a hang about the SSS (Holenarsipura Tradition)  stand vs Traditional Sampradaya  debate in Advaita.

To get more clarity for myself without being prejudiced by either of the view , I created the attached podcast script using AI, thinking AI might give me some insights.

I request the learned members to kindly take time and go through the debate and offer their views /clarifications/mistakes if any in the document , both for or against any of the viewpoint , so that better clarity in this vexed matter is got  for myself. 

Thanking in advance

I thoroughly enjoyed your AI inputs…But those who are backing the vyAkhyAna tradition would think that debate is abruptly over in favor of Sri SSS (host-B) 😊 and needs more comprehensive debate to know where Sri SSS erred and misrepresented the stand of vyAkhyAna. 

 

Hari Hari Hari Bol!!!

Namaskaram Amaresh-ji,

I understand that this is AI doing a back and forth debate with itself? And you just told it the format?

Perhaps, to be complete and for comparison, you can also ask it to do the same debate but switching the roles of Host A and B. It seems like A initiates the topic and makes the starting line of attack and B gets to counter it with a response. However that be, we can have SSS supporter be A and PSA be B, and see how AI unfolds that debate.

Namaste, AI is generally informed by web sources ONLY. That cannot account for a proper debate.  Something meaningful can only 

be produced if AI has been given Prasthanatraya Bhasya, Gaudapada's Karika and perhaps Suresvara to evaluate. Then if it is fed 

SSS texts and asked to evaluate whether SSS is consistent with Bhasya and tradition, I think a more dependable response may result.

I am really unable to understand the style of AI work here!!??  Do you mean to say, the PTB, Sureshwara’s works, Sri SSS works, later vyAkhyAna etc. not available in web source??  Does this AI tool without using these resources or without verifying any authentic source simply throwing its observation debates randomly ??  If yes, then it is definitely not reliable.

Pranaam Bhaskar ji, 

Thank you for your comments and feedback. 

The point you make about the abrupt end is taken note. 

Namasthe,

Namasthe, 

Yes sir. I gave AI the detailed context, gave it detailed text material of both sides. It was instructed to be totally objective. The selection of Host A & B was just random. However, I take your suggestion for implementation . 

Thank you Sir
