All arguments for and against the existence of God are inherently unfalsifiable, but that doesn't mean atheism is inherently more logical than theism.
I'm guessing you're one of those people who thinks atheism means a belief in the absence of a god, rather than its actual meaning, which is an absence of a belief in a god.
"Writers disagree on how best to define and classify atheism, contesting what supernatural entities are considered gods, whether atheism is a philosophical position or merely the absence of one, and whether it requires a conscious, explicit rejection; however, the norm is to define atheism in terms of an explicit stance against theism." (emphasis mine)

Polls were very wrong - again. Their methodology is clearly flawed. I owe my friend an expensive steak dinner because I believed the polls.
In the crisis era of non-reproducible science and bad data collection is it any surprise the polls are wrong too?
But the polls weren't wrong [1]. This was a normal polling error. If we expect polls to give us pinpoint accuracy, it's our expectations that are wrong.

Unfortunately that's not what it is.
If you hover the mouse over the image you will see the actual prompt - which is a human, Christian, interpretation of the verse, not the actual verse.
I am disappointed.
(I say Christian because no Jew would ever give that prompt for "Expulsion from Eden".)
Note that the prompt is AI-generated as well, though. From the linked blog post:
> OpenAI has another AI, GPT-3, that I used to generate many of the ideas for DALL·E prompts. I wanted to explore DALL·E using a wide variety of styles and artists, and I have limitations and biases when it comes to my knowledge of art history. GPT-3 cast a wider net of styles and artists than I would’ve come up with on my own.... The GPT-3 prompts I used evolved over time, but this one is emblematic:
> Suggest 5 unique concept ideas for a work of visual art inspired by Luke 14:7-11 (do not pick the place of honor) in the Bible. Include art direction and a specific medium and artist to emulate. Include artists from a variety of eras, styles, and media. Try for an unusual perspective. Title, year, medium. Description.

Nitpick: it's ʻOumuamua, not 'Oumuamua. The initial letter is the ʻokina (U+02BB), representing a glottal stop.
> The ʻokina has historically been represented in computer publications by the grave accent (`), the left single quotation mark (‘), or the apostrophe ('), especially when the correct typographical mark (ʻ) is not available.

Andrew Yang was getting pushed out and ignored the whole time. There are many egregious examples of how he was being excluded: https://vocal.media/theSwamp/a-visual-history-of-the-yang-me...
We couldn't trust the media already, Bloomberg will just be another example making this clearer.
While this does kinda suck, note that Marianne Williamson is excluded from many (if not all) of these same examples, while having announced her candidacy well before (and even making it into the televised debates as well). Politics aside, my guess is this is more than anything else a symptom of not knowing what to do with candidates who don't already hold an elected position.
> To compare a midrange pair on quality, the Bing Search vs. a Gemini 2.5 Flash comparison shows the LLM being 1/25th the price.
That is, 40x the price _per query_ on average (which is the unit of user interaction). LLMs with web-search will only multiply this value, as several queries are made behind the scenes for each user-query.
EDIT: thanks, zahlman, he does quote LLM prices in 1M tokens, or 1k user-queries, so the above concern is mistaken!
