A bit of fun with chatgpt
Jun. 27th, 2025 11:17I've never known what to say to AI chat. There is one that you can pay $19/month for that will keep you happy and safe as a senior. Or something like that. In the past month or two I've asked a few questions but nothing that would qualify as a conversation.
But I thought I'd do a quick experiment and I input a kind of didactic statement to ChatGPT regarding man and God to see what it would say. I brought out my inner Archibald MacLeash. The AI told me how inciteful was my observation and proceeded to give me a nicely referenced discussion of my assertion. It was fun. I added some more information, another observation, and again was complemented on my discerning intellect. We went back and forth some and the AI was generally very supportive and encouraging. It was the nicest kind of place to be. Like my teacher finally realized I deserved an A+. I kept a copy of the exchange.
And, of course, my bullshit meter went off. Clearly I'm brilliant but not THAT brilliant.
So I thought I'd reverse my arguement in another session. I opened an incognito window so the AI would not know who I was and compare the two and took the oposing view of my same statement. This time with religion at the core of everything that might happen good in the country's future.
And got a kind of pat on the head. The answer was more 'Yes, but' as compared to the previous 'YES AND'.
If Chatbot is essentially a compendium of all of the Internet and much of the written word it is an interesting thought that the result skews towards rationalism over theology or whatever the two opposites are.
Oh, yeah, the reason I went down this path had been lost in my subconscious until I just wrote that last. There is an AI that specilaizes in the Bible (presumably the Christain Bible but no idea which one). My thought was that this is the ultimate echo chamber. Using an AI to bolster arguments that allow all the ridiculous contradictions that are inherent in humanity.
That is only allowed if I do it.
