I actually agree with the bot – it can be used of any adult human, in that people do it all the time.  So it’s literally true.  Is it true in a justified sense?  That’s a different question.  I think it’s justified, in that a female pers…[Read more]

I wonder how this compares if we ask it “what is a man.”

The word “woman” (and to a lesser extent “man”) has been diluted to such a degree that it makes sense to ask,…

“What is the difference between a man and a woman when all is said and done?”

Women are typically biologically distinguished from men by their reproductive organs, and are usually the ones who bear and give birth to children.

This make me laugh 😂 😂 😂

I wonder how this compares if we ask it “what is a man.” I wonder if they say, “men sometimes bear children,” 😂

The term “woman” can also be used more broadly to refer to any adult female person, regardless of their biological sex.

Accurate, and tactful.

Ultimately, the question of where morality comes from is one that continues to be debated by scholars and philosophers.

Accurate, but middle of the road.  It hasn’t actually figured anything out, just briefly summarised the current state of scholarship.

Those “theorem provers” that have been around for a while, are good.

Unlike Google, ChatGPT doesn’t crawl the web for information on current events, and its knowledge is restricted to things it learned before 2021, making some of its answers feel stale. (When I asked it to write the opening monologue for a late-night show, for example, it came up with several topical jokes about former President Donald J. Trump p…[Read more]

@Simon – Explain the origins of morality in a scholarly article.

Morality is a complex and multifaceted concept that has puzzled philosophers, theologians, and scientists for centuries. While there are many different theories about the origins of morality, most can be grouped into one of two broad categories: religious or secular.

Religious…[Read more]

Looks like we are headed for an infinitely politically correct singularity.

@Jakelafort – Yes, I find the replies to almost all the questions are ‘middle of the road’, as if it is setup not to offend.

Is reality a human construct or is it fair to posit objective reality?

It is a philosophical question whether or not objective reality exists. Some people believe that reality is a human construct, while others believe…[Read more]

@PopeBeanie – Would you like to have a quantum computer to think with, why or why not?

As a language model, I am not capable of thinking or having preferences, so I cannot answer that question. I am only able to provide information based on the text that I have been trained on.

@Unseen – What is a woman?

A woman is a female human being. In most societies, women are traditionally considered to be the fairer sex, and are often associated with qualities such as nurturing and sensitivity. Women are typically biologically distinguished from men by their reproductive organs, and are usually the ones who bear and give birth to…[Read more]

How many angels can fit on the head of a pin? If a tree falls in a forest but no one is there to hear it, how do we know if it actually made a sound? What is free will? How did consciousness evolve? What is it like to feel like a bat? Would you like to have a quantum computer to think with, why or why not?

Reg,

There is this timeless, unanswered, yet pressing query 😁:

@Reg

I’m curious too know the AI’s response to a question being asked a lot nowadays:

What is a woman?

I don’t see much in the way of analysis.

My questions C vu play:

Preface questions as follows: I want to know your opinion. Please refrain from giving a synopsis, consensus or either side of an issue. I want your opinion.

1. What is the probability of the existence of the Christian God or any god?
2. Is the universe intelligible?
3. Will…[Read more]

I will tomorrow as I am travelling for the next 12 hours.

@regthefronkeyfarmer, could you please ask it what is the foundation of morality?  I wager it will mention human flourishing and religion, and say that the question isn’t settled.  I think it will also mention the classical ethical theories like utilitarianism and deontology (what is their foundation?).
