I asked ChatGPT: “Does the transporter on Star Trek kill every person who uses it, and then manufacture an exact duplicate?”

I asked ChatGPT: “Does the transporter on Star Trek kill every person who uses it, and then manufacture an exact duplicate?”

This is the answer that it gave:

“No, the transporter on Star Trek does not kill every person who uses it, and then manufacture an exact duplicate. The transporter is a device used to teleport people and objects from one location to another. It works by breaking down the molecular structure of the subject and then reassembling it at the destination. The goal of the transporter is to safely transport the subject from one place to another, not to kill them and create a duplicate.”

“In the Star Trek franchise, the transporter is generally considered a safe and reliable technology, and it is widely used for transportation purposes. While there have been instances in which the transporter has malfunctioned or been used in unusual ways, leading to strange and sometimes dangerous consequences, these instances are few and far between.”

“It is important to remember that the Star Trek franchise is a work of fiction, and the depiction of the transporter and its effects on people and objects is not meant to be taken as a scientific explanation of how teleportation would actually work in the real world. The transporter is a science fiction device that is used to drive the story and create exciting and imaginative scenarios for the characters.”

Moon is one of my favorite sci-fi movies. Sam Rockwell was amazing. I loved the soundtrack too.

“it will stump it to say anything good about whites...”
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

I DON’T UNDERSTAND WHAT YOU MEAN. IF YOU’RE REFERRING TO THE MEDIA REACTION, WELL PHUC KIM! THEY’RE NOTHING MORE THAN THE MINISTRY (OR IS IT THE MISERY?) OF PROPAGANDA.

I’M FOR AMERICANS!, WHATEVER SHAPE, SIZE, COLOR, OR CREED THEY COME IN! I DO NOT THINK OF LIBS/COMMIES/DEMS/WHITES/BLACKS/TRAITORS/ILLEGALS OR ANY OTHER ENEMY OF THE CONSTITUTION AS AMERICANS. AMERICANS ARE AMERICANS!!! WHITE, BLACK, THIS, THAT, OR THE OTHER, ARE DIVISIVE INVENTIONS OF THE MEDIA. AMERICANS DO NOT RECOGNIZE THESE DIVISIONS.

HAD A BLACK GUY SCREAM AT ME IN A PUBLIC MEETING, OVER 50 YEARS AGO;

“YOU DON’T KNOW WHAT IT’S LIKE TO BE BLACK!”
“SO WHAT? YOU DON’T KNOW WHAT IT’S LIKE TO BE WHITE!”
“YOU WERE NEVER A SLAVE!”
“NEITHER WERE YOU!”
“YOU MAKE ME SO ANGRY I FEEL LIKE SMASHING YOU!”
“DO WHAT YOU THINK IS BEST FOR YOU.”

HE THOUGHT IT WAS BEST TO WALK OFF IN A HUFF!

NOW, THEY’VE LEARNED TO PUT THEIR WOMEN OUT FRONT TO SPEW THEIR HATRED, OR ATTACK IN PACKS (WHICH THEY WON’T DO TO A GROUP OF AMERICANS). POINT IS, THEY’RE NOT AMERICANS! THEY’RE BLACKS. THAT’S THEIR FIRST ID. TOO BAD FOR ALL OF US.

KEEP THE FAITH.

I think it is the genesis of machine learning to program itself as it acquires data from the outside. It will never be alive, but it will probably, if given enough time and investment, to be almost impossible to tell the difference between life and AI.

It wouldn’t surprise me if it culminated, if given enough time, to a machine being able to replicate androids.

From what I’ve seen, ChatGPT and other AI systems seem to be poor at recognizing stupid questions.

I’M REFERRING TO THOSE WHO IDENTIFY AS SOMETHING OTHER THAN AMERICANS FIRST. IT TAKES TIME FOR FOREIGN PEOPLE TO ASSIMILATE AS AMERICANS. NEWCOMERS ARE MOST COMFORTABLE (AND HAVE ALWAYS BEEN SO) IN NEIGHBORHOODS OF THE COUNTRY/CULTURE THAT THEY HAVE JUST LEFT, BUT BY THE 2ND, 3RD AMERICAN GENERATION ASSIMILATION USUALLY OCCURS. LET ME REFER TO THE VENERABLE THEODORE ROOSEVELT ON THIS MATTER:

“In the first place, we should insist that if the immigrant who comes here in good faith becomes an American and assimilates himself to us, he shall be treated on an exact equality with everyone else, for it is an outrage to discriminate against any such man because of creed, or birthplace, or origin. But this is predicated upon the person’s becoming in every facet an American, and nothing but an American...There can be no divided allegiance here. Any man who says he is an American, but something else also, isn’t an American at all. We have room for but one flag, the American flag... We have room for but one language here, and that is the English language... and we have room for but one sole loyalty and that is a loyalty to the American people.”

WELL PUT, I THINK...A GOOD START. INCLUSIVENESS. THE FAMOUS AMERICAN IDEAL OF “THE MELTING POT”. E PLURIBUS UNUM, REFERS NOT JUST TO THE STATES, BUT TO EACH ONE OF US PERSONALLY.

KEEP THE FAITH.

Disassembling a person kills the person. Re-assembling, if it one day becomes possible, would restore the body, and it would be dead.

A friend wondered why they didn’t just use the transporter to put a bomb somewhere when they needed to destroy it. Gotta be cheaper than photon torpedoes.

I always thought of transport on Star Trek like Seth Brundle’s telepods in, “The FlY’. Unfortunately, a fly was in there with him and merged them together at the genetic level.

SAME THING HAPPENED TO MY WIFE AND ME, 3 TIMES. THE FIRST TIME SHE KNEW INSTANTLY, BUT SAID NOTHING BECAUSE SHE THOUGHT SHE WAS CRAZY. THE NEXT TWO TIMES SHE TOLD ME RIGHT AWAY, AND SHE WAS RIGHT. ONE WE FIGURED WAS THE WILL OF G-D, SOMETHING MUST HAVE BEEN WRONG WITH THE CHILD. THE SECOND TOLD US THERE WAS SOMETHING WRONG WITH THE REPRODUCTIVE SYSTEM. THE THIRD CONFIRMED THAT.

WENT TO THE BEST SPECIALISTS, ONE AFTER THE NEXT. TEST AFTER TEST. THEY FOUND NOTHING. RELUCTANTLY, AND DESPERATELY, WE WENT TO AN OLD DR. FROM SOUTH AFRICA WHO WAS RECOMMENDED BY MY MOTHER, AND LOOKED LIKE “MIRACLE MAX”, IN THE PRINCESS BRIDE. HE DIAGNOSED IT IN LESS THAN 5 MINUTES IN HIS OFFICE, WITH COMPLETE CONFIDENCE. I KNEW HE WAS AN INSANE QUACK!

“IF YOU WANT THE TESTS WE’LL DO THEM, BUT THAT’S WHAT IT IS.”

HE WAS 100% CORRECT!

TURNED OUT TO BE A DERMOID CYST ON ONE OF HER OVARIES. IT WAS CORRECTED BY SURGERY AND EVERYTHING WORKED FINE AFTERWARDS. I KNEW IMMEDIATELY WHEN SHE BECAME PREGNANT, AND SO DID SHE, BUT NEITHER OF US SAID ANYTHING TO THE OTHER UNTIL 12 WEEKS HAD PASSED (THAT’S WHEN WE LOST EACH OF THE OTHER THREE). I HAD STILL SAID NOTHING WHEN SHE CAME TO ME AND TOLD ME THAT EVERYTHING WAS FINE. SHE KNEW. SHE FELT THE LIFE INSIDE HER AS YOU DID, AND KNEW, NOT FELT, BUT KNEW!, IT WAS STILL THERE.

THAT CHILD IS GOING TO BE 30 IN JULY.

YA GOTTA WORK REAL HARD TO BE AN ATHEIST.

KEEP THE FAITH.

The machine can project a believable version of the original but there is no soul, no consciousness.

Gyro Gearloose invented one in 1961 that worked flawlessly. Well, until an electrical storm caught Donald in mid-transport so his lower half was in one hopper and his upper half in the other, but otherwise it was flawless, I tell you! (”Stranger than Fiction”, Carl Barks, 1961).

This AI is only capable of spitting back what has been put into it. That means it is stuck in an information loop that can not offer unthought of ideas.
