ואמר רבי אלעזר אמר רבי חנינא: כל האומר דבר בשם אומרו מביא גאולה לעולם

Question: Does this apply only to humans? What about quoting an #AI inspired Dvar #Torah?

In other words is the point to give credit to the originator of the idea to honor him (which presumably only applies to people)? Or possibly to teach you humility (this lesson would be taught even if the idea came from a machine)?

I interpret it as it being laudable to represent the will of another in their name. To this question, the AI can provide information but cannot will you to represent it to another.

@imstilljeremy so you're accepting the first approach. I'm leaning in that direction as well, but it's possible to understand that attributing a creative idea to someone else teaches you a moral lesson. We all think we're really smart, and this forces us to see that you don't know everything & it's ok (even good) to rely on other sources of knowledge. That would include humans and machines alike.

@gilad73

I think that's true, but I would add one slight tweak that it is to honor the originator's wishes/will.

And this goes the other way you said too. There is a humility in representing what somebody else wants rather than yourself, but also there is a connection formed between you in doing so.

This connection is, I think, what makes it so laudable. You are serving as a connection between two people and almost putting yourself in their shoes (or them in yours).

@imstilljeremy interesting insight that I had not thought about :)
