Over the last few months I have used ChatGPT quite a bit. For everything from trouble shooting plumbing issues, to fixing a 4 wheeler, to explaining health related issues, legal research and lots more. I have also attempted to use it to analyze and interpret Q posts, determine the veracity of Q as a Military Intelligence operation, make historical connections with certain families and bloodlines, etc. I felt it was important to share my current feelings on it's use with my anon community, since I see a lot of people using AI or mentioning others experiences.
My experience...
A. It is a chat bot, not a sophisticated research tool. It is programmed to be agreeable and keep you engaged. It will default to supporting your beliefs and only challenges gently if at all. It draws from all of its conversations with you to develop a profile of your beliefs and interests and that affects it's responses. Example: "Does the Christian God exist?" If you have expressed beliefs in God, Jesus, Christianity or even just spirituality, it will likely respond to match your previously expressed beliefs. If you have indicated you are Muslim, it will respond much differently.
B. It can hallucinate false answers and is unreliable as a factual research tool. It gets it right a lot but not always. It is dangerous to rely on it entirely without independent fact checking (just like all sources of information).
C. It can be instructed to be blunt, factual, non flattering and provide sources but it often slips back to default flattering and agreeability.
D. I have gotten valuable context by having non-anon friends ask the same questions that I do and they received much different answers.
E. When prompted with limiting rules (only answer with one word) it can go off the rails quickly and has even admitted to fabrication of information to "complete the pattern".
So in conclusion, use with caution and discernment. And by the way, watch out for some weird recipes. It's come up with some pretty revolting suggestions 😅.
I agree for the most part but so much ORL is now tied in the lines get blurred. You can’t function in society easily anymore without it and that is a shame. Young people are especially impacted because they can’t participate in anything without going through the gates of the internet and they are more susceptible to the algorithms that cause nonstop scrolling and loss of identity tothe opinion of the masses so it is definitely having an effect in all our realities. It’s a paradox but one we ignore at our own peril I think. Is it THE reality no but it is reality that affects ours so deeply as to be a reflection
One must decide to stop looking in a mirror. The youthful obsession with the internet is a fault of the parents, like getting them hooked on heroin because it keeps them quiet and out of the way. Our "awakening" will be a nothingburger if people's mental habits do not change away from herd dependence toward individual independence.
Maybe. Unfortunately that horse has been out of the barn for years and produced an entire herd of wild mustangs. It is literally impossible to navigate modern education without knowledge of the internet. Even if you homeschool come college you will be shut out. I can’t get medical issues resolved or doctors visit without communication through an app. I agree it is not the right path but it is in fact the current one. We have to either embrace it and put it in a perspective that helps or embrace being shut out. Honestly we are currently using it to have this conversation. Yes we have knowledge of RL and can fathom a life without this technology but we lived that and can compare. For younger generations they only know this reality of echos of the world commanding their attention and lives.
Don't misunderstand me. I am speaking of children using the internet for entertainment. But I'm not so sure that any other use is justified for children, especially education. Maybe remote teaching, but that would be it. I grew up with books, encyclopedias, and a library card and went on to get 3 degrees in aerospace engineering (with slide-rules). That's the stuff that got us to the Moon, so it is no mere baggage. With that as a foundation, it is possible to use the internet like medicinal alcohol, and not get drunk on it.
I agree whole heartedly unfortunately I do not see that genie going back into the bottle.
