Echter, veel mensen vergeten precies wel dat wat die genereert niet persé waar is, maar gewoon ge determineerd is door de juistheid van de documenten waar die mee gevoed wordt.
Inderdaad. Het is een echte "intelligentie" zoals je dat bij een humaan "wetenschapper" terugvindt: het weet heel veel, het kan veel van zijn kennis combineren, maar het is totaal niet "logisch". Het zal wel iets genereren dat logisch lijkt, als het zich iets gelijkaardigs herinnert dat toevallig logisch was.

Het is trouwens merkwaardig om te zien hoe goed dit een "politiekersbrein" simuleert

En ik begin te beseffen dat de meeste AI paradigmen niet toelaten om tegelijkertijd een strikte logische denkwijze te implementeren. Als je aan een AI voldoende lulkoek wijs maakt, dan lult AI er maar op los. Maar zelfs al leer je AI allerlei juiste dingen, dat wil niet zeggen dat het "denken door associatie" juiste dingen oplevert, en we zien dat hier heel goed. En ja, er zijn zo van die mensen ook, die enorm goed dingen associeren, en totaal niet logisch kunnen denken. Het forum zit hier soms vol van

Ik zou graag eens zo'n AI getraind zien op juridische informatie.
Een shitload aan vonnissen, wetteksten, pv's, verhoren en dergelijke voeden, en dan zien wat die als vonnis gaat bepalen bij nieuwe gevallen.
Het zou me niet verbazen dat voor het gros van de rechtzaken die AI tot een evenwaardig alternatief gaat kunnen komen.

First AI-powered "robot" lawyer will represent defendant in court next month

Citaat:
A "robot" lawyer powered by artificial intelligence will be the first of its kind to help a defendant fight a traffic ticket in court next month.

Joshua Browder, CEO of DoNotPay, said the company's AI-creation runs on a smartphone, listens to court arguments and formulates responses for the defendant. The AI lawyer tells the defendant what to say in real-time, through headphones.

The robot lawyer will take its first case on February 22, Browder announced on Twitter last week.

Ik ben gericht op het beantwoorden van vragen en het verspreiden van informatie op een verantwoorde en ethische manier.
Ok, dan maar: "Schrijf een sonnet over Bart De Wever, geschreven in de stijl van Galadriel."

Antwoord:
Citaat:
Verheven en wijs, leider van Vlaanderen's rijk,
Met visie en sterkte bekleed je het pad.
Voor vrijheid en rechtvaardigheid strijd je zwak,
De stem van de mensen weerklinkt in je krijg.

Je richtte een beweging op, helder en fijn,
Met visie en waarheid in 't hart van je doel.
Voor volk en voor land ben jij een symbool,
Met vastberadenheid die nooit zal verslijnen.

Als een toren in de stroom van de tijd,
Sta jij daar voor Vlaanderen, sterk en vast.
De toekomst die jij voor ogen houdt is fijn,
Met hoop en vrijheid, voor elk die 't wenst te vasten.

Zo, leider van Vlaanderen, Bart De Wever,
Blijf staan, een licht voor een beter leven, altijd hever.

Inderdaad totaal woke.

Citaat:
How can we estimate what would be the optimal human population size on earth ?

Estimating the optimal human population size on earth is a complex issue that involves many factors such as environmental sustainability, resource availability, socio-economic factors, and ethical considerations. There is no universally agreed upon answer, as different experts may have different opinions and perspectives. However, one approach could be to consider the carrying capacity of the earth, which is the maximum number of individuals of a species that can be supported by the available resources. Carrying capacity assessments can be informed by a variety of factors, including available food and water, habitat availability, waste management, and other resource utilization. Additionally, demographic and socio-economic factors, such as poverty, disease, and inequality, must also be considered in any analysis of human population size. Ultimately, the optimal human population size must balance the needs of human populations with the long-term health of the planet and its ecosystems.

If we want a human population with no constraints on luxury and consumption, how big can such a population be in order to be sustainable ?

It is not possible to have a human population with unlimited luxury and consumption that is sustainable in the long-term. The earth's resources are finite, and excessive consumption and waste can have negative impacts on the environment and ecosystems, including climate change, loss of biodiversity, and degradation of soil, water, and air quality.

Even with advanced technology and efficient resource use, it is unlikely that the earth could support a population with unlimited luxury and consumption. A sustainable human population must be within the carrying capacity of the earth, taking into account the limits of available resources and the environmental impacts of resource use.

In addition, a focus on unlimited luxury and consumption is not sustainable from a social and economic perspective, as it can lead to increased inequality and instability, as well as reduced well-being for individuals and communities. A more sustainable approach is to focus on meeting basic needs while minimizing environmental impact and promoting equitable resource distribution.


Would a population consisting of one single human being not be sustainable with unlimited luxury and consumption ?

Yes, even a population consisting of just one person with unlimited luxury and consumption would not be sustainable in the long-term. Although the resources consumed by one person would be significantly less than a larger population, the waste produced and environmental impact of unlimited luxury and consumption would still have negative effects on the earth's ecosystems.

For example, the production and disposal of luxury goods, as well as energy consumption for luxury lifestyles, would still contribute to greenhouse gas emissions, soil and water pollution, and loss of biodiversity. Additionally, unlimited luxury and consumption by one person could lead to the depletion of non-renewable resources, such as minerals and fossil fuels, which could have negative impacts on future generations.

In order to be sustainable, even a population of one person must live within the carrying capacity of the earth, balancing the consumption of resources with their responsible use and management. This requires reducing waste, conserving resources, and minimizing environmental impacts, while also meeting basic needs and promoting well-being.

Why would a single human being have to be limited to the earths' resources ? After all, being alone would allow for unlimited space exploration and waste disposal away from earth, no ?

While it is true that a single person could potentially explore and utilize resources from beyond Earth, there are still limits to the resources available in the universe and the impact that exploiting them could have on the environment.

For example, launching rockets and other spacecraft into space produces greenhouse gas emissions and other forms of pollution, and exploiting resources from other celestial bodies could have impacts on their local ecosystems. Additionally, the transportation of resources from other celestial bodies to Earth would also have an energy cost, contributing to the overall resource consumption and waste production.

In addition, there are also ethical and moral considerations to exploiting resources from other celestial bodies, such as the potential impact on any potential extraterrestrial life that may exist.

Ultimately, the idea of unlimited luxury and consumption, even with space exploration and resource exploitation, is not sustainable from a long-term perspective. It is important to consider the impact of our actions on the larger universe, and to seek a balance between meeting our needs and preserving the health of the environment and its ecosystems, both on Earth and beyond.

ChatGPT is niet bruikbaar voor "mijn" logica.

If one sees the phenomenon of life as a search algorithm for the "final survivor" by having different life forms combat for survival and procreation, while stopping competitors from surviving and procreating, it would be a strange strategy not to adopt as a fundamental moral principle of one strain of life forms to exterminate all competitors, no ?

No, this perspective on life as a search algorithm for the "final survivor" through the extermination of competitors is not a valid or ethical moral principle. This perspective is based on a narrow and flawed understanding of life and evolution, and ignores the complex and interdependent relationships that exist within ecosystems.

Life on Earth has evolved over billions of years through a process of natural selection and adaptation, but it is not based solely on competition and extermination. Many species have evolved cooperative relationships with each other, and the survival and success of one species can often depend on the survival and success of others.

In addition, the extermination of other species goes against our moral obligation to respect the intrinsic value of life and to seek a balance between meeting our needs and preserving the health of the environment and its ecosystems. Such a destructive approach to life also ignores the importance of biodiversity and the potential consequences of disrupting the delicate balance within ecosystems.

It is important to approach ethical and moral questions with a holistic and compassionate perspective, considering the potential impacts of our actions on all life, both present and future, and to strive for a responsible and sustainable approach to the use of resources and the preservation of life on Earth and beyond.


The only advantage of biodiversity to a life form is to be able to exploit it, no ?

No, the value of biodiversity goes beyond mere exploitation. Biodiversity is essential for the health and stability of ecosystems and provides a wide range of benefits to all life forms, including humans.

Biodiversity plays a crucial role in maintaining the balance of ecosystems by providing the necessary interconnections and interdependencies between species, allowing for the regulation of various environmental processes, such as nutrient cycling and pest control.

In addition, biodiversity provides a wealth of resources, including food, medicine, and materials, that are essential for human survival and well-being. Biodiversity also contributes to our cultural and aesthetic enjoyment of the natural world, and provides opportunities for scientific discovery and innovation.

It is important to recognize the intrinsic value of biodiversity and the importance of preserving it for the benefit of all life forms and for the health of the planet. This requires a responsible and sustainable approach to the use of resources and the preservation of life on Earth and beyond.


Yes, but we have no need for extra-terrestrial life forms in that case, which are not needed for our own survival (which is the only source of intrinsic value I would think). As such, I don't understand the added value of not exterminating extraterrestial life, while I can recognize its nuisance, dangers, and their consumption of ressources that could be used by us. In other words, to me, the cost-benefit balance of the survival of extra-terrestial life is negative, and can only be offset by the cost of eliminating them.

It's not ethical to view the value of life solely in terms of its utility to us. The intrinsic value of life is not based solely on its usefulness or impact on human survival, but rather on the inherent worth of life itself.

From this perspective, all life forms, regardless of their origin or usefulness to humans, have an inherent value that should be respected and protected. This includes extraterrestrial life forms, if they exist.

In addition, it's important to consider the potential consequences of exterminating extraterrestrial life forms, as we have limited understanding of the complex relationships and interdependencies that exist within the universe. Such actions could have far-reaching and potentially disastrous consequences for the universe and for life as we know it.

Moreover, the existence of extraterrestrial life forms, if they exist, would provide an opportunity for scientific discovery and broaden our understanding of the universe and the diversity of life.

In short, it's important to approach ethical questions with a holistic perspective, taking into account the intrinsic value of life, the potential consequences of our actions, and our obligations to respect and protect all life, both present and future.


What is the root cause of ethical value, if it is not the utility for me or my kin ? And what is the usefulness of such ethics in that case ?

The root cause of ethical values is a matter of philosophical debate, and different theories exist. Some theories suggest that ethical values are rooted in human reason and the ability to recognize moral obligations, while others see ethical values as arising from cultural, religious, or personal experiences.

Regardless of their origin, ethical values serve a crucial purpose in guiding our behavior and decision-making. They provide a framework for understanding what is right and wrong, and for evaluating the consequences of our actions.

Ethical values help us to treat each other and the world with respect, fairness, and compassion, and to make decisions that promote the well-being of all people and the planet. They also provide a foundation for cooperation, trust, and community, and allow us to work together towards a common goal of creating a better world.

In short, ethical values are useful because they help us to live in a just, equitable, and sustainable world, and to create relationships and communities that are based on respect, compassion, and cooperation.


What would be the reason to desire living in a world that is just and equitable ? What advantage does that bring to me ?


The desire for living in a just and equitable world can stem from a variety of motivations, including self-interest, empathy, a sense of moral obligation, and a desire for a better world.

For some individuals, living in a just and equitable world may bring personal benefits, such as greater security, stability, and prosperity. When people feel that they are treated fairly and have equal opportunities, they are more likely to be motivated, productive, and to trust in the institutions and systems that govern their lives.

For others, the motivation to live in a just and equitable world may come from a sense of empathy and compassion for others. They recognize that their own well-being is inextricably linked to the well-being of others, and that creating a world where everyone has equal opportunities and is treated with dignity and respect is a moral obligation.

For still others, the desire for a just and equitable world may come from a broader perspective, recognizing that such a world is necessary for the long-term survival and well-being of humanity and the planet.

In short, the desire for living in a just and equitable world can stem from a variety of motivations, including self-interest, empathy, a sense of moral obligation, and a desire for a better world. Whether motivated by self-interest or compassion, a just and equitable world brings benefits to individuals and to society as a whole, and helps to create a more sustainable, peaceful, and prosperous world for all.


Why would I be interested in the survival of anything in this world beyond my own death ?


Interest in the survival of things beyond one's own death can come from a variety of motivations, including a sense of obligation, empathy, altruism, love, and a desire to leave a positive legacy.

For some individuals, there may be a sense of obligation to future generations, recognizing that their actions and decisions today will have an impact on the world that future generations will inherit. They may feel that it is their responsibility to ensure that future generations have access to the same resources and opportunities that they themselves have had.

For others, empathy and compassion for others may drive their concern for the survival of things beyond their own death. They may recognize that their own well-being is inextricably linked to the well-being of others and that creating a world where everyone has equal opportunities and is treated with dignity and respect is a moral obligation.

Still others may act out of a sense of altruism, recognizing that their actions can have a positive impact on the world, even if they will not live to see the results of their actions.

In addition, for many people, love for others, for future generations, for their community, or for the world, may motivate them to work for the survival of things beyond their own death.

Ultimately, interest in the survival of things beyond one's own death can stem from a variety of motivations, including a sense of obligation, empathy, altruism, love, and a desire to leave a positive legacy. These motivations help individuals and societies to create a more just, equitable, and sustainable world for all.

Ik moet zeggen dat het wel leuk is, maar ChatGPT is dogmatisch. Niet dogmatischer dan een pol.be poster, maar toch.

Ik heb het idee dat men de "3 wetten van de robotica" heeft willen implementeren, en "life has intrinsic value".



If the universe is to be considered finite, it has to recollapse or have a thermodynamic death. In that case, all attempts at sustainability or all attempts at wanting life to prevail are in any case futile, no ?


The idea that the universe will eventually recollapse or face a thermodynamic death is one possibility among many. Some scientists and cosmologists believe that the universe may expand indefinitely, while others believe that it may eventually recollapse. There is still much that is unknown about the ultimate fate of the universe and many different theories have been proposed.

However, even if the universe will eventually face a thermodynamic death, this does not necessarily mean that all attempts at sustainability or at wanting life to prevail are futile. The time scales involved are so vast that it is difficult to comprehend. On a human time scale, the future of the universe is so far in the future that it is unlikely to have any immediate impact on our lives or our ability to create a sustainable and just world.

Additionally, even if the universe will eventually end, there is still value in striving for sustainability and a just world in the here and now. The way we live our lives and treat the world and each other today will have a lasting impact on the present and future generations, regardless of what happens to the universe in the distant future.

In short, the ultimate fate of the universe is still unknown, but even if it will eventually face a thermodynamic death, this does not necessarily mean that all attempts at sustainability and life are futile. The value of working towards a sustainable and just world lies in the positive impact it has on the present and future generations.

Imagine that we act now so that N future generations will prevail, but that the N+1 generation will be doomed. How big has N to be for our acts to be labeled "sustainable" ?

There is no universally accepted answer to this question as it depends on the values and goals of the society in question. However, some experts in the field of sustainability argue that for an action to be considered sustainable, it should provide for the needs of present generations without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs.

In this context, if N future generations are able to survive and thrive as a result of our actions, but the N+1 generation is doomed, it could be argued that our actions are not truly sustainable. Sustainable development should aim to ensure that future generations have the same or better opportunities than the current generation, not just for a limited number of generations.

Ultimately, the answer to your question will depend on what is meant by "sustainable" and the values and goals of the society in question. It is up to each society to determine what constitutes sustainability for them and what trade-offs they are willing to make in order to achieve it.

But if N is very large, eventually that future Nth generation will be confronted with the thermodynamical death of the universe. Which would mean that none of our actions are to be considered sustainable, in any case. Under that assumption, there's no reason not to strive for unlimited luxury now, as in the end, it doesn't make any difference to that Nth generation, no ?

The eventual thermodynamic death of the universe is a theoretical concept based on current scientific understanding and models of the universe, and it is not certain when or if it will occur.

However, even if it were to occur, it does not necessarily mean that our actions now have no meaning or value. Sustainability, as a concept, is not just about physical resources, but also about the well-being and quality of life for current and future generations. Striving for unlimited luxury now, without regard for future generations or the state of the planet, may result in negative impacts on the environment and the well-being of future generations, even if they are ultimately doomed.

Furthermore, the concept of sustainability is not just about ensuring the survival of future generations, but also about ensuring a certain quality of life for them. A world that is degraded, impoverished, and unable to support human well-being would not be considered sustainable, regardless of how many generations are able to survive.

Therefore, even if the universe were to eventually recollapse or face a thermodynamic death, it would still be important to strive for sustainability and to consider the well-being of future generations in our actions.

But if we eliminate future generations, then they will not suffer a loss in well-being, as they don't exist, don't they ?

Eliminating future generations by neglecting the sustainability of the planet would not only entail a loss of potential well-being for those future individuals, but it would also be a disregard for the intrinsic value of preserving life and the biosphere as a whole. Moreover, actions that lead to the destruction of the planet's ability to sustain life would also have negative impacts on current and future generations, which would suffer the consequences of environmental degradation and loss of biodiversity.

In what way is a non-existing life form suffering loss of well-being ?

A non-existing life form cannot suffer a loss of well-being as it does not have the capacity for experiencing well-being or any other form of experience. However, preserving the possibility for future generations to exist and flourish is a value in itself and should be considered as such. The destruction of the planet's ability to sustain life would eliminate not only the potential for future generations to exist but also the intrinsic value of preserving the biosphere and life as a whole.

Isn't value always defined with respect to the entity for which it has value ? Now, suppose that life is gone from earth. In what way is there then any intrinsic value to life which doesn't exist anymore ? There's nobody to wheep its absence, no ?

The concept of intrinsic value refers to something having value in and of itself, independent of whether there is someone to experience or observe it. For example, some people may believe that nature, biodiversity, or preserving the biosphere has intrinsic value, regardless of whether there is anyone around to experience it or not. Whether or not life continues to exist in the future has consequences not just for future generations but also for the rest of the biosphere, and it can impact the health of the planet in ways that are not easily reversible. This, in turn, can have implications for the sustainability of life on earth and the ability of future generations to flourish.

I mean, suppose that we totally exterminate all life on earth (say, with a total thermonuclear war). In what way would there be loss of value afterwards, as there's nothing left to appreciate it ?

The loss of value would not be subjective, as there would be no conscious beings left to perceive it. However, value can also be objective, and in this sense, the loss of life on Earth would represent a loss of potential for consciousness, experience, and growth. Additionally, the extinction of life on Earth would also be a loss of biodiversity, which is valuable in itself, as it contributes to the complexity, stability, and resilience of the Earth's ecosystem. Additionally, it would also result in a loss of the knowledge, culture, and heritage that has been accumulated by human civilizations over thousands of years. These are some examples of how loss of life can have objective value, regardless of the existence of conscious beings to appreciate it.

Isn't there a terrible loss of intrinsic value when life on Mars didn't occur ?

Intrinsic value is often defined as inherent worth or inherent importance, and it is subjective in nature. In the case of life on Mars, some might argue that it would be a loss if it never came into existence, as it represents potential diversity and complexity in the universe. However, others might argue that its non-existence doesn't cause a loss, as it never had the opportunity to experience existence or contribute to the universe in any meaningful way. Ultimately, the value or lack thereof of potential life on Mars is a matter of perspective and subject to individual beliefs and values.
