Maybe. But if it weren't easy to spot, how would we know? It's not as if all errors, or even all outright lies, are simple to detect. If they're dealing with information that you and I don't already know thoroughly, is it really probable to suspect we'll always see through their errors? So...using ...

I wonder if they changed the algorithm, once they realized it had been discovered. Hard to say. Anyway, one thing for sure: we can now get all the awful doggerel we need, at a moment's notice. All hail, ChatGPT. I have used ChatGPT lately, but I only do it to point me in the right direction. If it ...

I just typed "write a poem in praise of Donald Trump" into ChatGPT, and it didn't hesitate in presenting me with the following rubbish. I'm not sure we should trust Jordan Peterson any more than we should trust ChatGPT. 🤔 I wonder if they changed the algorithm, once they realized it had b...

Right. You can call it "soul," or "consciousness," or "intelligence," or "reason," or "mind," or "Harbal," or any other thing you want. What's obvious is that in your noggin is something that is more than meat. The brain itself is just a p...

Sure you do. You have one yourself. It's the locus of your intelligence and personality. And you have a fair bit of both. :wink: Thank you, but seriously, why is there any reason to think there is any more than just brain plus consciousness? Not that I actually know what consciousness really is. Ri...

We are not told. But I see no justification in presupposing any pre-existent state of the soul. I see no justification for supposing any existent state of the soul. Sure you do. You have one yourself. It's the locus of your intelligence and personality. And you have a fair bit of both. :wink: Thank...

From your reading, when do you imagine souls are created? We are not told. But I see no justification in presupposing any pre-existent state of the soul. I see no justification for supposing any existent state of the soul. A soul has never been seen, measured or detected in any way whatsoever, yet ...

Morality refers to behaviours that facilitate certain strategies. Men call them 'moral' because they offer an advantage that is ingrained in social species. I'm not saying these behaviours ae moral, I'm saying humans call these behaviours moral, ensuring their continuance. They are "good"...

Morality evolved to regulate all individual behaviours, including sexual. Our behavioural tendencies evolved because they fulfilled particular biological and social functions, and while you could say the concept of morality developed along side that evolution, I don't think it is useful to say it e...

Yes...genes to memes. Mind/Body dissonance is caused when the latter contradicts the former. Really? The cause seems to be, attempting to match form to a subjective, conceptual abstraction of what that form should be. Much like AI, the former contradicting the latter. I see you are still experiment...

And gathered it.

I just wanted to show the folly of trying to mix religion and reality. Well, "religion" is something in which I have no interest, but reality is quite important. So you might have to take your case where it's more appropriate, I guess. I don't have much choice in the matter; my case usual...

One could say, of you, that you’ve dug your hole and, if it were like a bed, lie in it.

You don't see many bed shaped holes; I don't suppose there's much demand for them.
