ABSTRACT

This paper aims to investigate whether the sermon of ChatGPT, a form of artificial intelligence(AI) that has emerged with the accelerated development of the Fourth Industrial Revolution in the post-COVID era, aligns with the coherence of Buddhist doctrines. Previous papers have primarily addressed the potential for AI to attain enlightenment. However, this paper intends to assess the coherence of ChatGPT by evaluating its intellectual capabilities. Similar to Buddha’s first sermon after attaining enlightenment, it hold significant importance in Buddhism. To determine whether ChatGPT possesses the ability to match these crucial Buddhist Sermons and the sermon of ChatGPT, sermon answer are derived by asking questions regarding Buddhist doctrines. The answers will be compared with text and academic papers to evaluate their coherence with Buddhist teachings. Considering that significant doctrinal differences exist across different eras of Buddhism, inquiries about doctrines will be categorized into Early Buddhism, Sectarian Buddhism, and Mahāyāna Buddhism. After evaluating the coherence of ChatGPT’s response, the paper intends to explore the potential of ChatGPT as an alternative in the role of Buddhist Sermons. The result indicates that while ChatGPT may exhibit linguistic and Buddhist scholarly errors, it can be viewed positively in its ability to convey the fundamental doctrines. Therefore, this study emphasizes the need for Buddhism to reconsider its perception in oder to recognize and resolve this crisis.
