The Institute for a Christian Machine Intelligence tests Psalms to steer AI as founder Danielle Fong uses Taoist prompts to fix GPT-4.5

SITUATION ANALYSIS: Religious texts may work as AI alignment tools. What @timhwang says Institute for a Christian Machine Intelligence (ICMI) is testing: • Put Psalms in the model context window • Run the model on moral decision benchmarks • Measure changes on virtue-based evals • Test Christian reasoning as a steering method • Try images like the Annunciation in multimodal models • Watch how the model uses religious symbols in reasoning • Compare theological alignment against secular approaches The weird part: Tim says the Psalms result improved Virtue Bench in a statistically significant way.
