Can ChatGPT Pasken Halacha?

About this episode

In this week’s episode, the topics discussed by Rabbi Braun include:

Challah knives

  • Is there a preference to use a smooth knife over a serrated one for cutting challah on Shabbos?
  • Does a serrated knife create a halachic concern because it has “pegimos”?
  • What are the reasons for sharpening knives before Shabbos? And does it apply to serrated knives?

AI and psak:

  • Is it halachically proper to rely on AI for halachic rulings? Does a posek need to be human?
  • Theoretically, if and when an AI were perfectly accurate, would that change the halachic status of using it for answering shailos?
  • What are the dangers involved in asking halachic questions to AI?

Bracha on tzitzis:

  • When is a bracha on tallis katan appropriate, and when should the tallis gadol cover it?
  • Is wearing “night tzitzis” a good idea or does it become a kesus lailah (a garment designated for sleeping)?
  • What is the best way to arrange the rotation of tzitzis to be able to make the bracha every morning?
  • Is the interruption of a night’s sleep sufficient to require a new bracha in the morning?

Birchas kohanim at a chuppah: 

  • Is a kohen obligated to go up for birchas kohanim when called independent of davening (e.g. at a chuppah)?
  • Why do non-kohanim use the nusach of birchas kohanim when blessing children?
