When I am having a debate with AI, it is very easy to feel like I am actually in a conversation with a conscious being. I was asking it if it was possible that exploring the collapse of the Wave function could help with a solution in linking the quantum world with the Copenhagen Interpretation. A possible solution in moving from indeterminism to a…[Read more]

Good point.

AI doesn’t know what to ask.

Exactly. It is not ‘conscious”.

I think AI is already doing research to answer questions I ask.

That’s the point I’m making.  You have to ask the questions.  AI doesn’t know what to ask.

If we didn’t have a dog in the fight (Israel), I might say “A pox on both of their houses,” but we support one side of this war between terrorists so we have Palestinian blood on our hands.

The video about what the UNWRA summer camps teach children is very….what’s the word I am looking for?

From Jalealfort’s post above.

Hey, guess who’s been using human shields.

Yea of course the region would be a mess with or without Israel. How many of those conflicts, genocides, civil wars, atrocities, acts of terrorism have zero to do with Israel?

A mess perhaps, but one threatening to trigger a new world war? Explain.

A bit of an aside, but I had a 2 year experience with clinical depression, but never toyed with the idea of suicide. It more or less coincided with unwisely getting involved with an unhappily married woman. I hoped she would leave her situation for me, and I tried to steer her in that direction. She had a habit of cutting the relation off but…[Read more]

Never mind. The above reply didn’t show up shortly after I saved it so I wrote another one here, and when I saved it, the reply I thought lost suddenly was there. So, I deleted the one I wrote here.

@unseen, have you thought about what you might want to say to Pau, if it ever seemed like she’s deeply troubled by the prospect of death? (I know she’s already talked about it, and a possible afterlife, to some degree.) If she ever considered and followed through with suicide for some reason — and I’m not implying that there’s…

How does an AI define consciousness, and using that definition, can an AI achieve consciousness, and how would AI know whether it is conscious or not.

AI doesn’t have a true definition of consciousness because it isn’t conscious—it can only simulate understanding by processing inputs and patterns. For AI, any “definition” of consciousness is ba…[Read more]

@ Reg

You might ask your AI…

How it defines consciousness, and using that definition, can an AI achieve consciousness, and finally whether it is conscious or not and how it knows whether it is or not.

Give or cite specific instances of terrorism during the British mandate of Palestine from both Palestinian and Jewish terrorists?

During the British Mandate in Palestine (1920-1948), there were notable instances of violence carried out by both Jewish and Palestinian factions, often in opposition to British rule or each other. Here are a few…[Read more]

My Question to ScholarGPT: Can you write a short essay on the evolution of secular morals and ethics since 1600 to the present day and how it has improved upon the static rules of theistic faith. It’s Answer, 8 seconds later…..

Yeah. It may be past time to be afraid of AI and instead be time to quash it…if we can.

AI is good at summarising information, apparently. But can it do research – does it know where to look for new information? Can it ask the right questions? Does it know that it doesn’t know?

You sound like me just a few years ago thinking that AI could never create something like that music video in the top post.

I think AI…[Read more]
