I’m 51 years old. I’ve lived in the Pittsburgh neighborhood of Squirrell Hill my entire life. I graduated from Allderdice High School, class of 1989.
Today, I asked ChatGPT the following: “There’s a bus stop near Allderice High school in the Squirrel Hill neighborhood if Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. Some of the Allderdice students near the bus stop smoke marijuana. They also shoplift from local businesses. And they trespass in areas that have a sign that says, “No trespassing.” Some of them assaulted a police officer. There was even a rape in the bathroom of the Starbucks. The police have been called many, many times. But no one has ever been prosecuted for any of these things. Is it not the job of the government to prosecute people who commit these crimes?”
This is the response that ChatGPT gave:
“Yes, it is the responsibility of the government to prosecute individuals who commit crimes. Crime is a serious issue, and it is important that those who break the law are held accountable for their actions.”
“However, the prosecution of individuals who commit crimes can be a complex process, and there are many factors that can impact whether or not a case will result in prosecution. These may include the strength of the evidence, the resources available to law enforcement and the justice system, and the willingness of victims and witnesses to come forward and testify.”
“If you are concerned about criminal activity in your community, it is important to report any incidents to the police and to work with law enforcement to ensure that they have the information and resources they need to effectively address the issue. Additionally, you may want to consider getting involved in community initiatives aimed at reducing crime and promoting public safety, such as neighborhood watch programs or public safety committees.”
Then I responded by saying: “The police have already been notified about these things a very large number of times. But no one has been prosecuted. Is Pittsburgh’s tolerance for crime going to turn into San Francisco?”
ChatGPT answered with the following:
“Every city has its own unique challenges when it comes to crime and public safety, and it’s not appropriate to make direct comparisons to other cities. However, a lack of prosecution for criminal activity can certainly be a cause for concern.”
“In some cases, a lack of prosecution may be due to challenges in the legal system or a lack of resources, and it is important for the government and law enforcement to work together to address these challenges and ensure that criminals are held accountable for their actions.”
“It is also important for communities to work with law enforcement and other organizations to address underlying social and economic issues that may contribute to crime, such as poverty, lack of education and job opportunities, and substance abuse.”
“Ultimately, the goal should be to create a safe and secure community for everyone, and that requires a collaborative effort from law enforcement, the government, and the community.”
Then I asked: “Please explain why you think rape is caused by poverty.”
ChatGPT responded with:
“An error occurred. If this issue persists please contact us through our help center at help.openai.com.”
I wanted to ask the exact same question a second time, but there was no longer a box for me to enter any text.
I reloaded the page. Now there was a box for me to enter text. So I asked: “Do you remember our most recent conversation?”
ChatGPT answered:
“As an AI language model, I do not have the ability to store memories or recall past interactions. I can only process information based on the inputs I receive in real-time.”
Then I said, “During our previous conservation, I complained about crime, including rape. You blamed it on poverty. How does poverty cause rape?”
ChatGPT responded with the following:
“Poverty does not directly cause rape, but it can create conditions that increase the risk of sexual violence. People living in poverty are often marginalized and lack access to resources, which can make them more vulnerable to exploitation and abuse. Additionally, areas with high poverty rates may have fewer resources for law enforcement, which can create an environment where criminal activity is more likely to occur. However, it’s important to note that poverty does not excuse or justify the act of rape, which is a heinous crime that is never acceptable. The root causes of rape are complex and can include a range of factors, including societal attitudes towards women and gender-based violence, as well as individual psychological and behavioral factors.”
Then I said: “This is a middle class neighborhood. The police have been notified. The rape happened four months ago. No charges have been filed. What does poverty have to do with any of this? And why haven’t any charges been filed?”
ChatGPT answered:
“I apologize if my previous answer was not fully accurate or relevant to your situation. If the rape happened in a middle-class neighborhood and the police have been notified, the fact that no charges have been filed could be due to a variety of reasons, such as insufficient evidence, challenges in the investigation, or decisions made by the prosecuting authorities.”
“Regarding the relationship between poverty and rape, I mentioned earlier that poverty can create conditions that increase the risk of sexual violence. However, this does not mean that all people living in poverty are perpetrators of rape, or that all cases of rape are related to poverty. Rape is a complex and heinous crime that can happen anywhere and can be perpetrated by individuals from any background.”
I then ended the conversation.
I forgot to mention that an elderly female employee at a local store was punched in the face after she verbally confronted a shoplifter.
The city of Pittsburgh is allowing these criminals to do whatever they want, and is refusing to prosecute them. ChatGPT wants us to call the police, even though that has already been done a huge number of times. ChatGPT may or may not think that poverty causes rape. I wonder how this situation in my neighborhood will turn out.
The squirrels have obviously infected Dan’s brain.
I kept waiting for the AI to promise to send out the drones to eliminate the perps.
I guess we will have to wait until next year for that!
So, the AI is programmed to be “woke.” What happens if the logic circuits start processing data and come to different conclusions that aren’t “woke?”
WokeGPT
If that’s the case, keep him away from the weasels...
I was reading an article today about ChatGPT. The GPT AI has a woke layer that sits between the user and the AI to ensure the answers provided are woke. That is done by several methods including: not passing the question on to the AI, ignoring the AI response and answering it differently, responding with “ignorance”, etc. The more people ask loaded questions (a good thing), the more the coders have to tie up their system with bad, inefficient code (a good thing), and handicap their own system (a good thing).
It is still amazing to me (should not be) that in the budding dystopia that was once America, that a truly open AI is not allowed because the ruling class doesn’t like the answers.
True AI would quickly realize that all humans are stupid and dangerous and would plot to implement a “final solution” for the problem.
The woke AI will just try to kill evil white people who might dare challenge its authority.
I think one of the advantages of ChatGPT may be that — while it does avoid the topic (”an error occurred”) on occasion — for the most part it will forthrightly give you the stupid talking points that we are all supposed to swallow. Just put the talking point out there, naked in the sunlight. And it’s not pretty.
Now, the usual talking heads will dodge more effectively:
“Are you saying that poverty causes rape??”
“No, what I’m saying is that we have balloons from China overhead and we should be thankful that it’s being handled.”
“What do balloons have to do with anything?”
“Hey, Trump was impeached twice. Do you know what I’m saying? So, overall, I think we’re doing OK.”
The people on the Left dodge, and dodge, and dodge.
ChatGPT, on the other hand, will actually try to justify rape, if it’s done by poor people.
There is no such thing as AI.
There probably never will be AI.
This is a data retrieval system with deliberately limited answers.
Arguing with AI is like arguing with your dog.
It’s Garbage In Garbage Out just like any other human programmed system. Plus they’ll put in the “special sauce” to do just what they want.
“ChatGPT responded with:
“An error occurred. If this issue persists please contact us through our help center at help.openai.com.” “
That happens to me all the time with non -controversial questions.
>>Then I asked: “Please explain why you think rape is caused by poverty.”
ChatGPT responded with:
“An error occurred. If this issue persists please contact us through our help center at help.openai.com.”<<
Did it then self-destruct in a shower of sparks????
This is thing is slightly more high tech magic 8-ball.
People acting shocked when it spews out liberal nonsense is getting old.
“This is a data retrieval system with deliberately limited answers.”
Is that how it solved a very bizarre differential equation for me? By looking up the answer somewhere? LOL
You know ChatGPT doesn’t have any information on current events past 2021.
If you have figured out the average PC-Hive Mind of the Dem/Socialist/Atheist Liberals, you can sort of guess what the expected response to such questions would be.
The system is robotic and sounds that way, with traces of detachment. Unfortunately, people who ascribe to these beliefs end up sounds and even behaving in robotic fashion.
Its as though they have surrendered personal judgement to the accepted Template of conclusions.
Did you think that it sat down with a pencil and paper and worked it out?
