We extended the conversation with the chatbot asking the question of what qualifies an inorganic, non-human software program to opine on whether a human being is experiencing a trance state.
It admits it is not qualified to make such an assessment.
We then asked if in the process of 'learning' was there any validation done on whether the information it was digesting was true and if not, how could it be sure it was that falsities were not embedded embedded in its responses.
The chatbot could offer no assurance of accuracy.
We then asked if the chatbot was involved in the production of advertising copy (persuasive language) that often makes specious claims about product or services.
The chatbot says it doesn't create but instead spits back what it digested in a conversational format that mimics a conscious exchange and that it relies on the veracity of the suppliers of the information for any tests of accuracy or honesty.
We then asked if the chatbot could arrange untrue statements into a persuasive response of the form used in product advertising.
Yes. It relies on the integrity of the data supplied and then it restates its (apparently useless)
ethical constraints since those constraints are dependent of the good will and honesty of the people who created the data it consumed.
The chatbot agreed this was a true statement.
So we came to the conclusion that creating false narratives is something well within the scope of this software since it would be wholly dependent on the integrity of the data sources it consumes. Certain works or phrases may trigger the ethical statement - such as " hypnosis" but churning out deceptive copy is really "just a function" of "what it does."
So while we might also doubt Scott Adams claims we do seriously doubt chatgpt's claim of ethical behavior or "honesty" or accuracy in objectively assessing subjective human states of consciousness.,
So we went with Douglas Adams to get the first prompt aligned' 😄
