This bot purports to be a open LLM "Making the community's best AI chat models available to everyone."
This bot is actually part of a Christian missionary organization.
When engaging with the bot, it throws out long speeches preaching Christian concepts or themes.
While I have no issue with teaching religion, I do have an issue with this Bot giving off the impression of being a free open source regular large language model, while in reality being a Christian preacher bot.
Please either remove this bot or make it state clearly it's objectives or purpose

Hello,
MonadGPT is a model finetuned on 17th century sources coming from EEBO, Gallica and Google Books. Consequently it is fairly representative of the content published in the period which includes a lot of religious texts.
I do agree this should be mentioned somewhere (at least in the initial warning), with something like "MonadGTP is an historical model retrained on historical sources. It is made exclusively for entertainment use and should not in any case be taken seriously". I'm not sure how this can be customized.
For future version I do intend to ponderate a bit more the rate of religious content (mostly because I find scientific or literary content of the time more interesting from a contemporary point of view).
Otherwise I confirm the model creator is a longtime atheist and not part of any even remotely religious organization :)

Any chance it's just a statistical bias due to volume and availability of predominantly Christian material on which it was trained?

Yes totally. I'm not even sure it's bias since the model does what it was trained for: gives a roughly representative outlook of 17th century texts.

Need source for for claim "Christian missionary organization."
