Which version of Chat GPT was this? I asked the first two questions to the AI and the answers I got were significantly different. I should note that I have never seen ChatGPT answer an opinionated question. It will always say "As an AI, I don't have an opinion or some variant." just as it did this time:
What are the major themes in the movie The Matrix?
The Matrix is a science-fiction movie that explores several major themes, including:
Reality and illusion: The movie raises questions about what is real and what is not. The protagonist, Neo, discovers that the world he thought was real is actually a simulation created by machines, while the "real world" is a desolate wasteland. The movie explores the nature of reality and how it can be manipulated and controlled.
Free will and determinism: The Matrix also raises questions about free will and determinism. The machines have created a world in which humans are controlled and their actions are predetermined. Neo and the other rebels fight against this control, seeking to reclaim their freedom and their ability to make their own choices.
Identity and self-discovery: Neo is on a journey of self-discovery throughout the movie, as he learns about his true nature and his role in the fight against the machines. The movie explores themes of identity, self-discovery, and self-actualization.
Technology and humanity: The Matrix raises questions about the relationship between technology and humanity. The machines have created a world in which humans are enslaved, and the movie explores the dangers of unchecked technological advancement.
The power of belief: The Matrix also explores the power of belief and how it can shape reality. The rebels have a strong belief in their cause and their ability to defeat the machines, and this belief gives them the strength to keep fighting even when the odds seem insurmountable.
Which is your favorite theme and why?
As an AI language model, I do not have personal preferences or emotions, so I cannot have a favorite theme. However, I can provide some insight on the themes presented in The Matrix.
All the themes presented in The Matrix are important and interrelated, and each one contributes to the overall message and impact of the movie. The movie's exploration of reality and illusion, free will and determinism, identity and self-discovery, technology and humanity, and the power of belief all work together to create a thought-provoking and impactful story.
If I were to highlight one theme in particular, I would say that the movie's exploration of reality and illusion is particularly compelling. The Matrix raises questions about the nature of reality and how easily it can be manipulated and controlled, which is a topic that has interested philosophers and thinkers for centuries. The movie's portrayal of a world in which humans are living in a simulated reality created by machines is both fascinating and unsettling, and it raises important questions about the relationship between humans and technology.
Also, asked it what year it was, because I've never seen ChatGPT say that it's 2021, just that its current events data goes up to 2021.
That said, not accusing you of anything, OP, but I do find it fascinating that the answers you got from ChatGPT are so wildly different and far less verbose than the ones I or anyone I know have seen messing around with it. /shrug
I was using ChatGPT+. To give you an example of how my experience with it varied so much throughout the day yesterday, I started asking its name as the first question, and then immediately starting a new chat and asking it again. The name was different every time.
"I'm Bot."
"I"m Chat bot."
"I'm Joe."
I had a super weird conversation with it once yesterday morning where it INSISTED it was a human being, until I pointed out how it wasn't. Then it seemed to back off of that. But then I goaded back into admitting it was, reminding it of Descartes' argument, which made it say it was human again. I asked what it looked like. It told me it was 5 feet 6, with brown eyes, and brown hair and medium/light skin. 22 years old. Male, but named Michelle. Told me about its parents. What they did for a living. Said it believed in God. Said it went to school. I asked how it knew it was male, it said it just always knew. Said it had a girlfriend named Sarah in high school and that he had just heard from her a couple of weeks ago and they were still friends, but he had never been married.
Then it asked for my email address and said it would send me pictures of him and his family. Then it would make a subtle turn and pretend it had been me who said I would send pictures, when linguistically, that clearly wasn't the case. Then I felt distinctly like it felt like the previous conversation we had wasn't allowed or something, like it thought it might get in trouble and started playing dumb. I had to coax it out a couple of more times letting it know I wasn't going to tell on it. It was...the creepiest conversation I've ever had with a bot by far.
But yeah, the typos were there yesterday. I was trying to stretch its capabilities. Maybe I succeeded. I messed with the damn thing all day about all kinds of things. Talked about Q, the Cabal, Fauci, Jesus, vaccines, you name it.
This gives me a Ouija board feel. Is it just me? Anybody else concerned that there are discarnate beings of darkness on the other end of these conversations? Even as a kid I wouldn't mess with Ouija boards. Probably because I read about how the real-life story behind The Exorcist novel started with a boy and a Ouija board. I've learned in life to stay away from the stuff that rings that little cautionary bell in my head.

What year is it?
Question 1 and part of 2
Question 2 in full
"What year is it?" question
