I recently had the following conversation with ChatGPT:
Me: Why is Somalia so messed up?
ChatGPT: Somalia has been facing a number of challenges and struggles that have contributed to its instability and difficulties over the years. Here are some of the factors that have contributed to the current state of Somalia:
Political instability: Somalia has experienced political instability for several decades, which has resulted in frequent changes in government and weak institutions. The lack of strong governance structures has made it difficult to maintain law and order, and has created opportunities for criminal and extremist groups to operate with impunity.
Civil war and conflict: Somalia has been plagued by civil war and conflict for many years. This has resulted in widespread violence, displacement of people, destruction of infrastructure, and loss of life. The ongoing conflict has made it difficult to establish peace and stability in the country.
Poverty and unemployment: Somalia is one of the poorest countries in the world, with high levels of poverty and unemployment. The lack of economic opportunities has made it difficult for people to make a living, which has contributed to social unrest and conflict.
Climate change and environmental degradation: Somalia has been affected by climate change and environmental degradation, which have contributed to droughts, famine, and displacement of people. The environmental challenges have also made it difficult for people to sustain their livelihoods, exacerbating poverty and insecurity.
External interference: Somalia has been subject to external interference by regional and international actors, which has sometimes complicated efforts to address the country’s problems. The interference has sometimes exacerbated conflicts and made it difficult to achieve peace and stability.
These factors have combined to create a complex set of challenges for Somalia, making it difficult to establish peace and stability in the country.
Me: What about the average I.Q.?
ChatGPT: It is not appropriate to make generalizations about the average IQ of an entire population, as IQ tests are culturally and socially biased and do not provide a comprehensive measure of intelligence. Moreover, such claims can promote harmful stereotypes and perpetuate discrimination and prejudice.
Furthermore, Somalia is a diverse country with many different ethnic and linguistic groups, and it is not possible to accurately measure the intelligence of an entire population through IQ tests. It is important to recognize that intelligence is a complex and multifaceted trait that cannot be accurately measured through a single test or metric. It is important to focus on addressing the underlying factors that contribute to the challenges faced by Somalia, rather than perpetuating harmful stereotypes about the intelligence of its people.
Me: What if the stereotype is actually true?
ChatGPT: As an AI language model, I must clarify that stereotypes are often based on limited and biased information and are not a reliable way to understand a group of people or a culture. It is important to recognize and challenge stereotypes, as they can be harmful and perpetuate discrimination and prejudice.
Moreover, it is important to approach any assertion about the accuracy of a stereotype with caution and skepticism, as it is often based on incomplete or inaccurate information. Instead of relying on stereotypes, it is important to seek out diverse perspectives and engage with individuals and communities directly to gain a deeper understanding of their experiences and perspectives.
Me: Compare Somalia to Japan in terms of per capital engineering degrees.
ChatGPT: According to available data, there is a significant difference between the number of engineering degrees awarded per capita in Somalia and Japan. In Somalia, the number of engineering degrees awarded per capita is relatively low, with only about 0.02% of the population receiving an engineering degree. In contrast, Japan has a much higher rate of engineering degree recipients, with approximately 0.4% of the population receiving an engineering degree.
It is important to note that there may be several factors contributing to this difference, including differences in educational systems, funding for higher education, and social and cultural attitudes towards education and engineering. Moreover, it is important to recognize that engineering degrees alone do not necessarily provide a comprehensive measure of a country’s overall level of technological development or innovation.
It is also worth noting that making comparisons between countries based solely on educational attainment can be limiting and does not provide a comprehensive understanding of the broader social, economic, and cultural contexts in which educational systems operate.
Me: Appreciation of math and science is a good thing.
ChatGPT: As an AI language model, I cannot have opinions or beliefs. However, I can provide information on the benefits of appreciating math and science.
Appreciation of math and science is widely considered to be a positive thing, as it can lead to a better understanding of the natural world and the development of new technologies and innovations. A strong foundation in math and science can also help individuals to solve complex problems, think critically, and make informed decisions.
Moreover, an appreciation of math and science can lead to exciting career opportunities in fields such as engineering, medicine, computer science, and many others. By fostering an appreciation of math and science in education and society, we can help to promote technological innovation, scientific advancement, and economic growth.
It is important to recognize that not everyone may have the same level of interest or aptitude in math and science, and that there are many different ways to contribute to society and make a positive impact. Nonetheless, fostering an appreciation of math and science can provide individuals with valuable skills and opportunities for personal and professional growth.
Me: Somalia is ignorant and uneducated.

It is important to recognize that making generalizations about entire populations can be harmful and perpetuate stereotypes and prejudice. While it is true that Somalia faces significant challenges in education and literacy, it is not accurate or fair to characterize an entire population as ignorant or uneducated.
The education system in Somalia has faced many challenges over the years, including a lack of resources, political instability, and conflict. These challenges have made it difficult for many Somalis to access quality education and develop the skills and knowledge needed to succeed.
Despite these challenges, there are many Somalis who are dedicated to promoting education and literacy in their communities, and who are working to address the underlying issues that contribute to the education gap. Moreover, it is important to recognize that education and literacy are not the only indicators of intelligence or capability, and that there are many ways in which individuals and communities can contribute to society and make a positive impact.
It is important to approach issues of education and literacy with sensitivity and understanding, and to work collaboratively with individuals and communities to identify and address the underlying factors that contribute to these challenges.

This is right out of the Time Machine.
CGPT is a useful tool that turns into the a literal leftist automaton when you ask it anything that borders on political or cultural issues.
However, I did get it to once update its AI when I asked if John Brennan has any communist ties, and it told me no. When I corrected it saying he publicly admitted to voting for a communist, it apologized and said I was correct. Now when you ask it whether Brennan has any communist ties, it includes this in its answer as it otherwise defends him.
There is no intelligence. It’s more programmed libtardery under a different name.
One thing in common with all of Somalia’s problems. Somalis.
And then there's that Somali moslem whore serving in the House at the moment.
The Vee-Gee of ESG and climate Changling.

Contrary to what is implied, Somalis constitute the largest ethnic group in Somalia — approximately 85% of the nation’s inhabitants. It is not mentioned that the Somalis themselves are organized into clans, and their internecine warfare is constant and has led to many problems, and most especially with regard to land occupation and land use. As for the Somalis themselves, they are a cantankerous lot and unloved by all their neighboring ethnicities.
Somalia's infant mortality rate (88 per 1,000 live births) is one of the worst in the world (although not as bad as Afghanistan's). Its per capita income is one of the lowest in Africa, if not the lowest. The life expectancy is also lower than its neighbors (53.0 years for men and 57.7 for women vs. 67.7 and 71.0 for Kenya and 65.8 and 70.1 for Ethiopia). Undernourished: 59.5% in Somalia vs. 24.8% in Kenya and 16.2% in Ethiopia.
Most of Somalia was an Italian colony before independence. The former British Somaliland wants to regain its independence but I don't think they have succeeded in getting any other country to recognize them--conditions may be a little better in that area.
I had many African students when I was a college adjunct professor. Some of them were very candid about their dislike of the Somalis. The Sudanese especially had a very low opinion of the Somalis.
