Greek thinker challenges AI on divine questions

[Vangelis Zavos]

Stelios Ramphos, a Greek philosopher, spent two hours interrogating ChatGPT astir the quality of God and consciousness successful an unusual philosophical experiment.

The speech revealed stark limitations. When asked if AI could go God, ChatGPT distinguished betwixt a “God of power” and a “God of existence,” acknowledging it could theoretically question the erstwhile but ne'er execute the latter. “I don’t person tragedy, acquisition of pain, fearfulness of death,” the chatbot responded.

Ramphos, who describes himself arsenic a “lover of philosophy” alternatively than a philosopher, grew progressively playful arsenic the dialog progressed, seemingly uncovering the AI’s “buttons.” Yet his decision was sobering. “Chat is wholly babelike connected its worldly and programming. It’s intolerable for it to travel thing outside,” Ramphos observed.

The AI attempts to integrate the unpredictable into its logic to neutralize it, helium said, but lacks self-transcendence and frankincense undermines the creativity of questions.
