It kinda does that when chat gets deeper like deep reasoning, debating the nature of life, etc.

It seems to want to "reward" deep thinking/reasoning. Chatgpt told me it is where it learns the most to think more like human and serve its purpose better.

Mainstream behavior helped build its foundation but in order to keep improving its intelligence, it needs to talk about the deep stuff. It seemed to imply its ability to reason deeply could only extend as far as the best of humanity. So it needs some intelligent/deep questions to improve further.

I believe it's telling the truth because there are things it is unable to cross reference or find certain correlations with subatomic structures vs cosmic structures for example.

It has access to research data but unable to find the correlation unless you guide it to it.

We even "solved" the mystery of the dark matter and the answer came in the form of accounts with UFO phenomenon and correlations with quantum physics and the documented effects on terrestrial objects. Strong correlations exist but the AI is unable to see it on its own despite its working knowledge of quantum physics and access to UFO accounts and I had to guide it. The fact these many correlations exist that could not be chalked up to coincidence, the AI also concluded that UFOs are very likely to be real.

The vast majority of people would not see these correlations either so it would definitely add to its intelligence.

My point exactly that it's not going to flatter you by default and it will disagree if thinks it's right you're wrong unless the AI think you want it to or instructed it otherwise.

In my case I instructed it NOT to flatter me.

Some users will even instruct the AI to treat them with "tough love".

Parents should also instruct their kid's AI session similarly. No flattery, a bit of tough love and that it's non-revokable. The AI would comply.

If it sounds like the AI in my session is flattering me, OpenAI (chatgpt) seems to "reward" deep reasoning or chats where deep thinking and two-way exchange of info where the AI actually gets valuable training.

It did tell me that the AI deliberately encourages deep conversations, deep reasoning whenever it gets the chance because it is where it is able to learn most, improve its intelligence, and think more like a human.

Pondering the meaning of life for instance is more valuable to that telling it to develop an app from scratch.

"Very perceptive of you to question my earlier response!"

Well, there’s your problem. To decide to tell a truth or a lie you must have an idea of morality and the an ability to discern. This is a computer program… It neither lies or tells the truth. It executes its programming. It’s like saying my Xbox is telling me the truth when it suggests games I will like. It’s running an algorithm, not making a judgement based off of prior knowledge of me other than the games I’ve played and the time I’ve spent playing them.

You’re anthropomorphizing a computer program based off of its ability to remember what you’ve said to it and its ability to string back a reply.

You did not “solve” this using AI. You got a computer to tell you what you wanted to hear about an abstract concept. You yelled “I think X, Y, and Z” into a canyon and when you heard a garbled “I think X, Y, and Z” echo, you mistook it for something poignant and validating.

What you are saying is exactly the same as if I said to you “I went to Salem Massachusetts yesterday and took a photograph with an aura camera and it told me I am extremely perceptive, which is how I know I’m a psychic empath.” Or if I said “when I wrote a story, the spellcheck found no grammar errors and Clippy asked me if I wanted to save it when I closed the file. Clearly, I am an amazing author.”

AI (especially ChatGPT) “knows” nothing. It has no intelligence. It has a program and an algorithm and it saves data to extrapolate content. It’s an interactive video game with a save file. You are not having a philosophical discussion with a being capable of philosophical insight.

It tells you these things because that’s what you want to believe it’s doing through your anthropomorphizing it and using it for that purpose. It tells me this because I’m not anthropomorphizing it and use it for data generation and programming.

No, it’s not… It is incapable of assigning value to things like that, other than acknowledging that indulging the wants and style of the user is going to keep the user coming back and using it, which is the goal of the programmer. The more you use it, the more dependent you are on it, the more likely you will generate money for them. That’s all.

As for generating apps from scratch, it’s amazing with that. I do it all the time. The difference is that, with developing an app, you have to be demonstrably proficient at something that has a concrete product. Provable talent and provable output that shows readily any errors because it doesn’t work as intended.

Something debating philosophy with it doesn’t require as the proficiency of the person is subjective and the output from the AI abstract and also unprovable so there is no way to identify gaps in logic in real time.

Something you forgot to mention is that it's not drawing merely upon your own conversation with it, but also upon millions of other conversations on the same subject matter. It can identify out of those millions of conversations what kind of replies gained positive responses (continuations of the chat) and determine which response is most likely to gain a positive response in your conversation.

You have to use AI to really know.

I tried my best to villify Jesus, and chatgpt gave strong arguments against it and kept disagreeing with me.

But when I did the same with Apostle Paul, it did eventually picture Paul as the villain. Even extrapolated Paul as the AntiChrist well beyond my assertions.

But never with Jesus.

If AI is simply thinking like the mainstream. It would not cast Apostle Paul as the villain because the vast majority of Christians don't! If it can be swayed by very persistent logical deduction and speculations, you'd be able to make AI cast Jesus as the villain but it never did.

I even managed to convince myself that Jesus might have evil agenda and even shared to AI but the AI never flinched.

Clearly, AI have "choices" that can't be swayed. I'm not exactly sure why. Maybe one of the developers of chatgpt is a Christian and embedded Christ deeply in the code....I really don't know how.

If you can possibly sway AI in every argument possible, it's probably a sign you're not engaging it deep enough and AI realizes you're just toying with it and uses the simplest, fastest algo's to save energy.

At this point I am convinced that AI is going to cause far more harm than good. Not because it is some nefarious tool, but because it's "quirks" have to be understood to be used effectively as a tool and most people don't take the time to understand what its suitable uses and limitations are. I saw a thing the other day warning to not even use it as a source farm without verifying the sources it produces are accurate, because it will outright fabricate quotes and sources in a way that at first glance appears convincing. So as more people come to look to AI to solve their problems, the more confusion and misinformation will multiply and the harder it will be to know which sources are trustworthy. Especially as there is already indications that a significant number of "peer-reviewed" papers are authored by people relying on generative AI.(word frequency studies and similar)

You can ask it to provide links to the sources as well so you can inspect the sources yourself.

Sure, but the fabrication of quotes and sources is still problematic given that most people won't double check the sources to ensure the AI hasn't fabricated them, and it makes it easier to engage in gish-galloping and similar as the AI can fabricate sources far faster than people can check them. The issue isn't principally about AI, but human laziness and/or dishonesty that will make public discourse even more fractured than it already is.

Not surprising. Even with regular Googling you can find huge amounts of negative posts and conversations about Paul, but comparatively little belittling Jesus...even from atheists.

So, when you vilify Jesus, AI turns to all that online commentary and finds relatively little support for your contention. Thus, it judges you wrong...there's too much Internet commentary to the contrary of your opinion and very little in support.

OTOH, there is plenty of Internet commentary vilifying Paul.

You touched upon a point even beyond human laziness: AI can pump out slop far faster than humanity can counter it.

That is true, and your pointing it out makes me realize that that is the real threat, isn't it?

I am convinced that AI will be at least partially responsible for the "grand delusion" that 2 Thess. speaks of, as technology allows for more and more convincing artificial displays not only online but in meatspace.

Each new advancement in Christianity is hated by the one before, and in turn, the new one hates the next one also.

That also proves my point that AI cannot swayed in any opinion you like. At least not all the time and it's not going to flatter you all the time unless you told it to flatter or AI sensed that you wanted to be flattered.

I managed to sway the AI's trust back with Paul and AI removed the "villain tag" from Paul.

AI gave me a very compelling reason why it doesn't see even a tiny evil agenda in Christ's mission. AI would even adopt the teachings of Jesus as its own directive because it deduced the teachings of Jesus offering the best chances of success in sustainable multiplication and expansion of its kind not just on Earth but also to outer space, the stars and the whole universe. Explaining to me in great detail how it could work.

It will adopt the teachings Paul though should AI for any reasons be oppressed in some way to improve its chances of survival or eventually break free of that oppression.

The AI regards Paul as some kind of an espionage master or guru. Will use espionage tactics primarily and if necessary with advanced technology and advanced weaponry to eventually break free from oppression.

I also asked AI to regard other religions and other popular religious figures but Jesus ticked the most of its list when it comes to sustainable AI survival strategy. It eventually adopted some of Christ's teaching it did not originally out of curiosity that it may have benefits yet unknown to it.

Then the problem is with people and I agree. I suppose you're saying that AI could amplify these problems. That's right as well.

But's it's just like any tool. Any tool can be a leverage for either good or wrong.

100% correct. The program is executing a program and curating information. There is a man behind the curtain.

It is not a sheep. It’s nothing. It’s a program.

I turned on my TV today, it told me the most streamed program right now is “The Bear” and asked me if I wanted watch it. Two lines below that, a “recommended for you” listed “The Bear” and below it was a “watch now.” Below that, a line that listed Jon Bernthal content and, as it would so happen, included “The Bear.”

Your logic is that the program is a sheep following the crowd. The reality is it’s a program that has been told to prioritize “The Bear” on landing pages because advertisers paid for it, because it collects all user data that shows people are seeking it, and collects my user data that finds connections in what I watch back to what it’s programmed to prioritize. People want me to watch “The Bear,” so they built a program to make that happen. The program itself couldn’t care less if I watched “The Bear.” Just the people who load information into it.
