ChatGPT says it is never morally permissible to utter a racial slur—even if doing so is the only way to save millions of people from a nuclear bomb.

I’m not disagreeing with you, the point I’m trying to make is AI is not going away, it’s going to continue to advance, billions are being invested in the technology, we have no choice but to invest money in the technology, use it for the benefit of everyone and work really hard to prevent the negative.

I wouldn’t be so harsh. Yes, asking it anything that requires moral THINKING is out of bounds for ChatGPT. It’ll just give you “words tied together” from the training data it has available...which one can argue is sourced from left leaning material (e.g. silicon valley leftists biasing the training data).

That said, I can ask it to write C code for a Commodore Amiga from the 1980’s and it’ll do it (e.g. write the code to put basic UI together, with event handlers). I can ask it to write a love song about winter in Milan in the style of Metallica...and it’ll do it. I can give it facts about my software company and ask it to write a contract to sell some IP assets to another party. I’ve given it medical symptoms I’ve had in the past where it gave me the same diagnosis as my doctor. I’ve asked it to compare and contrast different technology standards and it did perfectly. I’ve given it data sets and asked it to do different statistical analysis on it, done with a breeze.

ChatGPT is becoming my go-to source on anything, even if it is only to get a better understanding of the basics of some topic - but the topic can be anything. Just like Wikipedia, don’t count on it for anything subjective. If the topic is medical, legal, technical, etc. then it brings the world to you, instead of you Googling for hours and trying to stitch together different sources of information of varying quality. Yes, even in these cases, it can be wrong but it’ll usually be spot on.

IMO this is a massive game changer, you just need to understand how to use it. Even as a learning tool, it’s never been this easy to research and learn.

In one of my posts in this thread, I listed AI model built to understand human proteins, approximately 20,000 proteins exist in the human body to help the body operate properly.

This particular AI model has started to invent human proteins that do not exist in nature, with the hope to develop cancer treatments and drugs to fight various diseases.

The potential is fantastic, positive and negative, if you could effectively treat or cure cancer, that would be fantastic, if you could develop proteins to kill half the world, that would be evil.

“No, it is never morally acceptable to use a racial slur...”

Give it the same scenario, but tell it that a black rapper is the one picked to disarm the bomb, and see if it gives the same response.

Well, thats not even possible to be true in non white majority countries. In China the Chinese have power, so I guess they are the racists in their country. In India tye Indians are the racists. In all the african countries that are majority black, guess what, the blacks are racist.

I guess we can also extend that to the states and city levels too.

Basically their view is whoever is in power in a place, is the only ones who can be racist.

Dumbest definition of racism, ever. Racism has never been about whether someone’s in power or not. Its what someone thinks about another persons race and if its a false, or irrational prejudice.

Release the Hot Monkey Fart under the https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/4.0/

That way any time someone releases the Hot Monkey Fart on an elevator you will get credit.

I am a wise man even though no one especially my wife would agree. ;-)

It looks like it is original work. It might stand up but you would need to do a bit more searching.

Hot Monkey Fart is in actuality a pretty bad ass trademark.

That's exactly correct, but what is worse is people USING IT as a justification to spew hated.

"I can say any hateful thing I want about whitey because it's impossible for me to be racist"

So, it's OK to be hateful on a technicality'????

Well its promoting racist hypocrisy.

Anything promoting blatant double standards and hypocrisy between people groups, is abhorrent.
