This is getting to be an interesting state of affairs:



Indian scientists are asking their Government to prove viruses exist... and they cannot. During Covid people were sending FOI (Freedom of Information) Requests to Governments around the West and drawing blanks too. Mmm.

That is very interesting. I’m sure that somewhere along the lines they’ll have to describe in microscopic detail the dna of a virus, to make this go away.

Won’t they? :thinking-face:

Google’s AI slave describes them as tiny parasitic entities that have dna. I didn’t get past that cos it’s science and I failed that in school, but it is a battleground worth exploring, given what we went through..

I suspect that part of the complexity is that some viruses don't have DNA. That's one of the things that make them such an extraordinary life form. I'll have to watch the video. Not had time to do so yet

I'm not necessarily sold on her but it's interesting. I do think she's exaggerating the nature of the case having looked into it.

This is a feature of AI that’s disturbing. And irritating.



Interesting that you're so disturbed and irritated with a feature that A) does not exist (you can go to ChatGPT and test this yourself. It will immediately recite whatever verse you ask it to) and B) cited in a video that blatantly makes up what the verse actually says. Nowhere in the verse does it claim what the caption says it does.

I’m glad to discover that this is not a current feature of ChatGPT while also unfortunately discovering that it used to be a feature of it, but it’s promising that they’ve dropped this, just as they dropped the old ways where you could get them to crack a joke about Jesus and Buddha but they didn’t crack jokes about Muhammad because, well, whatever.

This is a positive development, for the Google AI, which I asked above, perhaps one that’s occurred due to the backlash against PC and DIE politics.

But with ChatGPT, I unfortunately got the following responses;

So I asked this:

It’s fascinating holding a discussion with a robot whose responses are fed to it by humans. Especially fascinating when the robot is obviously lying..
