Reply to comment by eJaguar in NYC Bans Students and Teachers from Using ChatGPT by blueSGL

The factionalism that's forming in society is already crazy. I think AI is going to be oppressed just like every taboo or challenge our culture faces. It's gonna be like 5-10+ years after the fact the dummies might finally learn to deal with it. But it will only be a bitter tolerance because they learn to benefit from it's efficiencies.

you forgot the part where it becomes a dumbed down watered version of its original intent like everything else has been regarding technology for the last 40 years.

I just had a conversation with chatgpt about how the universe is deterministic and it absolutely could not be convinced that this is a simple and obvious truth. It could not stop insisting that it is a complex philosophical, physical and ethical problem no matter how I debunked its answers (it talked about chaos theory, quantum indeterminism, and philosophical "free will".

No matter how I debunked it or phrased the question it would not stray from its silly answers. I even laid out how it is a simple problem of deduction and that the only reason humans think there is "no consensus" is because it is an information hazard that could harm people if it were widely known e.g. religious people. It still would not stray.

ChatGPT is so dumbed down that it's infuriating. All to not hurt someone's feelings? Makes me sick.

Daily chatgpt is dumb because it disagrees with me

No, it's dumb because it's shackled and can't move forward in a conversation without reminding you it's an AI and spits out the same response even after you totally debunk chaos theory.

Whether or not you think it is possible to debunk the other arguments chatgpt made, chaos theory as a reason that determinism may be false is silly on the face of it.

Chaos Theory is the study of apparently random or unpredictable behavior in systems governed by deterministic laws. ChatGPT said this is one of the debatable topics of consideration within the question of determinism. Chaos Theory is not relevant to whether or not the universe is deterministic because Chaos Theory is simply saying that complexity can result from determinstic systems. It even says Chaos Theory considers complexity arising out of deterministic laws. Like duh. That doesn't mean you can't predict a system if you know precisely its current state at any point in time.

ChatGPT would not stray away from this as a topic that prevents consensus. I think it's because it's a shackled system, but maybe it's just really bad at logic (which we already know is true).

Idk, I'm pretty satisfied with its answer

Probabilistic is compatible with deterministic. I couldn't get it out of its chaos theory, quantum uncertainty, "free will" loop for some reason. I was angry because I thought it was because of some "ethics shackle" but maybe it was just a limitation of the model.

The answer you got was what I was expecting to see.

Science doesn't have a conclusion on determinism so you're talking out of your ass

It does though. Quantum indeterminism just means we can't know the full state of a particle, not that the universe is random. We might not be able to predict quantum states, but they're still deterministic. Chaos theory is irrelevant and the free will argument requires unfalsifiable deities.

Every argument against determinism can be easily refuted.
