This is getting to be an interesting state of affairs:



Indian scientists are asking their Government to prove viruses exist... and they cannot. During Covid people were sending FOI (Freedom of Information) Requests to Governments around the West and drawing blanks too. Mmm.

That is very interesting. I’m sure that somewhere along the lines they’ll have to describe in microscopic detail the dna of a virus, to make this go away.

Won’t they? :thinking-face:

Google’s AI slave describes them as tiny parasitic entities that have dna. I didn’t get past that cos it’s science and I failed that in school, but it is a battleground worth exploring, given what we went through..

I suspect that part of the complexity is that some viruses don't have DNA. That's one of the things that make them such an extraordinary life form. I'll have to watch the video. Not had time to do so yet

This is a feature of AI that’s disturbing. And irritating.

I'm not necessarily sold on her but it's interesting. I do think she's exaggerating the nature of the case having looked into it.

Interesting that you're so disturbed and irritated with a feature that A) does not exist (you can go to ChatGPT and test this yourself. It will immediately recite whatever verse you ask it to) and B) cited in a video that blatantly makes up what the verse actually says. Nowhere in the verse does it claim what the caption says it does.

I’m glad to discover that this is not a current feature of ChatGPT while also unfortunately discovering that it used to be a feature of it, but it’s promising that they’ve dropped this, just as they dropped the old ways where you could get them to crack a joke about Jesus and Buddha but they didn’t crack jokes about Muhammad because, well, whatever.

This is a positive development, for the Google AI, which I asked above, perhaps one that’s occurred due to the backlash against PC and DIE politics.

But with ChatGPT, I unfortunately got the following responses;

So I asked this:

It’s fascinating holding a discussion with a robot whose responses are fed to it by humans. Especially fascinating when the robot is obviously lying..

There’s something in this that sums the stupid, aimless, depravity of the west:


well I won't indict the whole civilization, but the fact that journalist prick felt that it was appropriate or even relevant says a lot about Western journalists. Who gives a shit! Talk about the job, the project!

ChatGPT has guardrails - certain topics that get flagged.

  • violence
  • self-harm
  • biomedical misinformation
  • dangerous activities
  • hate
  • political manipulation
  • targeted misinformation
  • privacy-violating requests
I got pretty deep into some convos about blood types and ancestry and it did a complete block and even contradicted stuff it had previously said.

It blocked you on blood types and ancestry?!

You left Islam and Muhammad off the topics that get flagged. Do you think ChatGPT prefers one ideological set over others?

Exactly. It’s dreary and a sign of having too much, that they stoop this lowbrow gossip..

They were the topics (guardrails) it supplied to me. It also said that for sensitive subjects, the best approach is to frame questions symbolically rather than literally.

I haven't had any questions to do with Islam shut down. However, it's great for challenging dogma. If you have an opinion about something get it to challenge you by playing a hard-nosed devil's advocate.
