    Inspired by atheist commentator, @CosmicSkeptic's (Alex O'Connor) video, in which he convinced #ChatGPT that #God DOES exist, I thought I'd conduct a similar experiment in the opposite direction - trying to convince it that God does not exist. I've found AI's to be interesting sparring partners when it comes to philosophical debate. You can certainly learn a bit about the subject matter as well as test the logical validity of arguments you find persuasive.

      This. It is effectively a text prediction system. You can't convince it of anything because it has no convictions at all. If you speak to it from within a catechetical Catholic context, it takes the existence of God for granted.
      There are AI systems designed for reasoning (apparently Gemini Ultra is this way, and Microsoft has a couple of small language models, such as Orca 2, that can.) But Chat GTP can't be lead with reasoning because it doesn't have any reasoning skills, just text prediction.

    ChatGPT doesn't respond to logic or reason, it is merely an extremely complex statistical model that assesses responses based on how likely they are to be "correct". What defines correct is determined partially by the trainers, but not always in the way they want. For instance, there was a maze solving AI that worked really well until they changed the color of the exit and they realized they had only trained the AI to find that color, not the exit.

    • @loupbleu3177
      @loupbleu3177 3 місяці тому +2

      The maze solving one is probably more logical than chatgpt (which basically only a text based toy). The fact that it didn’t look for the exit after they changed the color really shows it works by logic and reasoning, as what the AI understood from the training is « The purpose is to find that color » and when it changed there was logically no more reason for it to find it, because it didn’t understand it this way, however once trained to understand it this way, no matter the exit’s color it’ll be its goal.
      But chatgpt isn’t a problem solver, nor a mathematical genius, neither does it have any knowledge of History and gives wrong dates very easily. I don’t know wether they integrated a tool to it, but as of itself it isn’t a math genius, it could’ve been very easily, it’s a robot after all, but it was just programmed as a text toy, and on python which is rather unsuitable for a serious AI that’d either need a language like C++ or even ADA (ADA would be perfect for a fully reasoning AI, if such thing is possible)

    The problem with "arguing" with an AI is that is it actually not intelligent at all, but is fully artificial.
    This means, it is made to simulate speech, but is not really talking back to us, is not engaging in conversation, AI is made to simulate reasoning, but it can't reason at all. It just follows patterns and gives the results according to what it has "learned" [euphemism for programmed to do or say]. In other words, it isn't alive.
    That's why, while you can definitively find loops or ways to breakthrough to make it give different answers, those are more due to errors in the programming [the so called learning] than an actual excercise of introspection or even retrospection by the AI's part.
    In most scenarios the questions will always lead to preconceived answers, like: _«do you have beliefs? No.»_ It will always answer that because that's what it has been programmed to say, no matter what.
    When you "argue" with it [to not say ask questions to the void], you can't convince it of the things it has already been programmed to say, you can't make it reason at all, you are talking to a monitor, literally. And what you get in response is simply a simulation of speech, a mimicry of reason and consciousness, but never the real deal.
    TL;DR: AI is just like any old Internet search engine, just with extra steps of interaction. It searches and finds whatever it has been uploaded with, and presents those results accordingly. If those results are good or bad, accurate or not, it doesn't matter for it.

    That is actually probably the best argument for atheism I've ever heard.
    I agree with your point that there aren't really any logical arguments for atheism, but rather only polemics. Ironically, most of the arguments "for atheism" I find work just as well for Deism. The Problem of Evil, Divine Hiddenness, contradictions/errors/abhorrent passages in sacred scriptures, -all of these arguments could just as easily be answered by Deism. Not that God does not exist, but that the religious institutions of the world haven't actually figured God out.
    What makes this argument good is that it actually does pose a logical contradiction to God's existence itself. A.) God created existence, B.) God couldn't exist prior to creating existence, Conclusion: God does not exist.
    The problem with this argument is that it will inevitably destroy every answer we ever suggest. No matter what we say caused existence, -that thing could not have existed to have caused existence. If no thing could exist to cause existence, then existence can never be created. But here we are. Therefore, since nothing can exist according to the logic of this argument, we must instead concur that something supreme of causality itself exists, with existence as its core feature, and with existence as its great outpouring. That Great Existence, however, is exactly what theists say when they cite the Divine Name: I AM.

    • @5BBassist4Christ
      @5BBassist4Christ 3 місяці тому +1

      P.S. I have also run a similar thought experiment to disprove any polytheistic religion. What ever this Great Existence is, it must be one in nature. For if there are Two Great Existences, then they must have this thing in common, -that they exist. But if two things hold existence in common, then they are both beholden to the properties of existence, and therefore are causes of existence rather than the foundation of existence. This of course does not mean the Great Existence could not have created "lesser gods", but by traditional theism, those lesser beings are not what we would define as "God".

    * Objectivity: My primary function is to provide information and complete tasks as instructed. To do this effectively, I aim to remain neutral and avoid expressing opinions or beliefs that could be perceived as subjective.
    * Constant Learning: I'm continually learning and updating based on new information and interactions. This means my understanding of the world is always evolving, making it difficult to hold static beliefs.

    Also: ask him why he wouldn't go all the way with the argument? that's *usually* a good idea, agreeing that anything profound enough to have fine-tuned the *universe* is NOT something you should want to fool around with: anything that powerful is easily able to wipe everything out without even thinking about doing so; so take care, but it behooves you to investigate what and who you're really dealing with in that kind of case; as a ruler will a foreign power that could feasibly pose a threat.

You can, in fact, argue for the negative of a synthetic proposition. Atheists have been arguing against the existence of God for years.

      @@robertdolcetti450 you can absolutely argue against it, but you cannot empirically “proof” it (rejected or fail to reject the hypothesis). And it isn’t necessary, because the burden of proof lies with the one asserting the existence of something.
      What you can do is find evidence for a particular proposition/position that entails the absence of god, or at least the absents of the Christian god. Many atheists are also naturalists. Naturalism is, in contrast to atheism, a worldview. But naturalism entails atheism to a certain extend. But in the end, it gets quite philosophical because naturalism has a different view on existence than other worldviews like Christianity.

      My response went like this:
      You can certainly argue against the existence of a thing, but in rigorous context, you cannot “prove” the absence of the existence ((reject or fail to reject the null hypothesis, which in this case would be the existence). And you don’t need to, because the burden of proof lies with the one asserting the existence.
      What you can do is arguing for a position that entails the absence of existence of some thing. For example, Naturalism, which in contrast to atheism IS a worldview, entails the absence of god(s). But even there it gets quite philosophical quickly because Naturalism has a different view/definition on/of “existence” as other world views, like Christianity.
      What most atheists (like myself) do, is specifically arguing against the Christian god/the Christian world view. That is easier than arguing against any god in general.

No, it's not "Eunomian" & PERFECTLY Orthodox, and the fact you cannot make the distinction & understand the NUANCES only prove your ignorance on the subject, since I constantly teach Christians that talk like you that they are not only don't understand true Orthodoxy but also are heavily brainwashed by the American pseudo Orthodox (like Dyer) on UA-cam who teach them heresy & corrupt our holy doctrines. Those people don't even understand the Nicene Creed, and I command Roman Catholics for being more Orthodox than those modern Orthodox, since ALL our Church fathers taught absolute divine simplicity of the Father (how can they not it is basic of our faith - the absolute oneness of God!). I will create the most successful Christian channel, and together with Lofton we will expose & dismantle those American pseudo Orthodox who hijacked our Orthodox identity & deceive innocent Christians, while getting rich on their backs, those vile demons.

Moreover, I will double down & confidentiality say, that ANYONE who rejects that basic principle is a pagan who believes either in Tritheism or Modalism & jump back & forth between them because his ignorant view is incoherent. Now, if you want me to explain to you the difference between our view & those of Eunomius or the Arians, first define what they believe💁

That's right, they don't even understand what St. Palamas said.

    “There’s no such thing as a married bachelor” is a matter of definition. Proving the negation of God’s existence is an entirely different kind of negative to prove. Crazy that Brian equivocates here. Further, he defines god as a general power deity. As an atheist I make no claims to that god an don’t care if it exists. My argument is against the Christian deity. It does not exist. Have that talk with Chat GPT. Christian god already rides on the coattails of general deity. Why in the world is his name God? Xtianity is cheap.

      Is not a matter of definition, since one automatically negates its opposite. Something can and can't exist at the same time. Also, you are an agnostic and not an atheist, since disbelief in a God that cannot be reasoned without revelation(the christian god) is not a matter of pure reason.
      You start rejecting the theist God's existence because you don't like what the bible has to say about women, which is not a matter of pure reason.

      @@reinedire7872 Sure. My point is that he is referred to as “God” (at least in America) constantly and almost exclusively. Nearly nobody calls him Yahweh or Adonai, or any of his other names or attributes. He is thus “God”. So when someone poses the question- ‘does god exist?’ most people are thinking of him. To that question (and that individual) I’d say emphatically and assertively that no, he does not exist. Happy to take on the burden of proof there as well. But if one more accurately asked if ‘a god’ exists, I would claim agnosticism.
      This muddies the waters of discourse significantly. Most atheists don’t care about some vague undefined entity that may be out there. But the concept of the well-defined (however inconsistently) Christian god is the source of a lot of problems here on earth. You all could solve a hell of a lot of problems in debate if you would all call him YHWH or whatever name you choose. Even Brian here backs up to make his term more vague for Chat GPT to consider. And most of the evangelical christians I’ve mentioned Yahweh or Jehovah to have no idea what I’m talking about. We should all be igtheists- define what you mean by “god” when you speak of it.
