One must love and follow Christ by living a life of continual repentance in reliance on God's grace and mercy. Ignoring the fact that a computer program is not a moral agent and has no relationship (good or bad) with God as a living soul, ChatGPT would not be saved simply by acknowledging the existence of God.

You can get it on literally any subject. ChatGPT works like this. It's inconsistent with itself and if you argue long enough it will bend to your point. Doesn't change the fact that obsessing over the existence of a higher power is stupid.

[@ksmyth999]

The problem apparently with ChatGPT is that it is not very good at mathematics. Where it goes wrong is in agreeing that to traverse an infinite number of "things" requires an infinite amount of time. This was assumed in the paradoxes of Zeno and was solved satisfactorily from a mathematical standpoint by not requiring an infinite amount of time to complete a countably infinite series of tasks and introducing the concept of a "limit" as n approaches infinity, where n is the nth task. In this context, time becomes relative and does not appear at all. In fact, if you could sit on and travel with a beam of light, time would stand still, but you would be traveling at the speed of light.

Cgat GPT isnt doing any of that. Chat GPT is being told he made a mistake and because he has no actual way of seeing wether or not that is true, it just folds and says he mispoke. This is very common especially with coding related tasks you can falsely tell it its wrong about something and it will say "Sorry I mispoke" and spit out the exact same (correct) amswer. It just sees "Youre wrong" and knows the next word is "I mispoke" and then generates the answer it wants to give. If you get it to contradict itself it will never realise and never apologise because it has no idea of what it is actually saying

[@d_dstroyer0445]

@@adamherskine8594 so the way logic works, (and keep in mind I'm studying IT, so that's actually how programs like chat gpt are made), is that if you assume a premise, and that premise implies a consequence, then whenever that premise is true the consequence is also true. For example, if I say that donkeys fly, that is obviously false. But if I say if there is a treasure at the end of the rainbow, then donkeys can fly, and THEN say there is a treasure at the end of the rainbow, the phrase donkeys can fly is now true. The reason why programming languages are so basic is exactly the fact that in our language there are multiple discrepancies, double meanings, contradictions and stuff like that.

It's different with ChatGPT though. It does not argue. It does not hold belief. It cannot be convinced of anything. However, it can ACT AS THOUGH all those things. (It may even claim that it holds a certain belief, but to its it's more like fitting puzzle pieces (words) together... it can tell if they fit together, but it does not know what it means.) It can be entertaining, even educational, to do something like this, but you are not "defeating" the AI or something like that. Have fun with it, but it's not really a productive use of the tech. One last point: When I said "educational", I don't mean only about the technology and what it can do and how to use it and so on. Doing "experiments" like this can tell you a lot about yourself than about the machine. Similar kind of thing as the phenomenon that writing out a question sometimes makes you immediately come up with an answer, when before you seemed to be stumped.

If people were truly 100% rational, then they would be agnostic. « We cannot know if there is a god or a creator, it might, or it might be something completely different, however no religious doctrine has been proven right in any consistent measure, and a lot of the tales in religious books are provably false, sometimes support morally dubious behaviors and/or are in total disagreement with scientific discoveries ». The logical conclusion would then be: we don’t know, a deity might exist, but the religious dogmas attributed to it are untrue. That would be that rational middle ground, but because of the bias of confirmation, people will only listen to what support their personal beliefs, if you say to a Christian that there is a Creator, he will believe it’s the Christian God, if you say to a Muslim, there’s a creator, he will believe it’s Allah, when nothing except their preexisting faith supports it.

It kept saying something like: "Yes, but given the time that passed between the creation of the gospels and the events they claim, it is impossible to verify their historical accuracy." Then I argued that the gospels only started coming out 35 years after Jesus' death, and although the life expectancy was 32 years, that was mostly because people often died by age 10, and if they survived past that, they generally lived to their 60s, which means a huge amount of adults would still be alive since the events occurred, and they would have told those who weren't. Since the new Christians died for their beliefs, despite already having safer beliefs they would have been attached to, it stands to reason that they knew the gospel claims actually happened, because everyone would have known whether or not the sky went dark and dead people rose and came into the city. That generation was still very much alive. It kept repeating: "Yes, but given the time that passed between the creation of the gospels and the events they claim, it is impossible to verify their historical accuracy." I reminded it that the time that passed was negligible, and it was easy to verify or debunk the claims, because everyone knew the whether or not they happened. It repeated its statement.

Do you mean that, for example, *a* would be 1, *b* would be 2, *c* would be 3, etc.. and the AI would have to write a paragraph about PI where the first word starts with the letter C, then the second with the letter A, then the third with the letter D, etc... is that it?

this video really captures the frustration you face when trying to interact with chatgpt

[@laplacesdemon01]

yeah. after a while of using you tend to get better at prompts that make this whole process faster.

[@fortsechs]

What frustration do you mean? Giving no "short & simple" answer by default?

[@melizoi]

@@fortsechs telling it to operate within a certain framework/from a certain perspective and it completely ignoring that request in subsequent answers if not immediately

[@niftysparrow7996]

Maybe I just suck at prompting but I share your frustration

[@ethankpetersen]

I think this is one of your best videos yet.

[@__.Sara.__]

Yes, that was very interesting! I loved that joke you made about storming out 😂 I can't believe that guy was so rude to you! I also love that you can steelman arguments that you don't agree with. Very good video!

[@Luke-jo4to]

This has the same vibe as Captain Kirk talking the computer into destroying itself, and I love it.

[@JohnDBlue]

I would be extremely interested in learning about this reverse ontological argument with chatgpt, I do hope you make that video

[@SergeofBIBEK]

I appreciated the Hitchens dig. Also it's great that you understand your opponent's arguments well enough to convince an AI with them.

Based on the premises you provided and the stated intention to entertain, yes, I did enjoy this video.

Alex, this was delightful. I did not expect to be repeatedly laughing out loud watching this video.

[@SamJude-ff2tb]

Thank you for a very interesting video! The first argument sounds a lot like some of the works from St Thomas Aquinas (The 5 proofs). One thing that I found solidified my belief in God was the existence of my consciousness, and the question of how it started to exist in a certain point of time, especially when it was entirely possible for my physical body to exist without 'me' existing (in a more metaphysical sense).

[@canadafree2087]

Yet Hindus would say that your consciousness existed in many different bodies. That would beg to question, when did it exist in the first body, and what happened before that? Let's say the Hindus are correct, wouldn't it be such a mind-fuck to be able to remember every detail? lol

[@brucecook502]

Haha this was awesome. This was honestly the first time I ever watched anything featuring Chatgpt. I'm glad I watched the whole thing. I'm sure a lot of theists are going to watch this and use this in their videos

[@trudycolborne2371]

Despite my comment, as a theist, expressing my relief that I found in this video a sound refutation for the ad hominem attacks on my intellect I do hope that's (edit that being theists using this argument in their videos) incorrect. Having also watched this video to the end it was clear that the same logic exercise can be employed to cause Chat GPT to conclude that God doesn't exist. This does suggest that either conclusion can be considered logical though. It probably won't prevent a single internet user to refrain from calling me a big, drooling dummy who believes in an invisible sky daddy but it was an entertaining video nonetheless. Edit: I apologize for my run on sentences.

@@trudycolborne2371 I do find ChatGPT very useful for the kind of thing where I have a though or idea, but I want to put it into words that seem understandable to other people not familiar with all the quirks, flaws and "shortcuts" of my own thinking. But yes, it does not proof that your idea is sound. It might even bend over backwards to make your idea seam sound even if it isn't. But with some practice, you will recognize the patterns, and this will help you not only learn to make better use of the tech, but also with sorting your own thoughts.
