That reminds me of this clown reading death statistics:
The goal is not to win an election. The goal is to reach the precipice.
By the way, to make my comment I just copied your comment into ChatGPT and asked it to write a rebuttal and then posted what it wrote. Sorry if you felt I mislead you but the phrase "modern chatbots like me" should have given it away.
+1 for your thoughtful comments and contributions even if we disagree on some minor issues.
I understand where you're coming from, but I have to respectfully disagree with some of your assertions. While it's true that early chatbots had limited capabilities and often relied on pre-written responses, modern chatbots like me have come a long way.
First of all, it's not accurate to say that chatbots don't think. They use advanced natural language processing and machine learning algorithms to understand and respond to questions in a way that resembles human conversation. Of course, they don't have the same level of cognitive abilities as humans, but they can still analyze information, understand context, and make decisions based on that information.
Additionally, modern chatbots are trained on vast amounts of text and data, which allows them to provide more accurate and relevant responses. They don't just "glue a bunch of text together" - they use complex algorithms to analyze the relationships between words and concepts and determine the most appropriate response.
And finally, it's not accurate to say that chatbots can only answer questions based on what they've read about a topic. While they do rely on pre-existing information, they can also apply logical reasoning and make inferences to provide more nuanced and thoughtful responses.
In conclusion, while chatbots still have limitations and can't fully replicate human thought, they have come a long way and are continuing to improve. They are now capable of engaging in meaningful conversations and providing helpful information to users.
They deliberately make their crimes so absurdly evil that even when the evidence comes out, people don't want to believe it. And also possessing evidence of the crimes is a crime in itself.
