In continuing what I did last year [ because life got in the way ] here is the rest of my session w/ ChatGPT. See this post to get the beginning of this series/interrogation.
I made a mistake on the dates, I chatted with it until the 23rd of June last year, not the 22nd. The following is from the 22nd:
- I continued to found similarities between me and this machine.
- I truly do enjoy puzzles, I spend the majority of my time doing puzzles, real talk. See here. I believe this is why I loathe misinformation so much. If you can see a pattern you can predict the future. What has happened will happen again.
- Still a machine made by humans so it will eff up......just like it's creator. This is why we don't rely on it too much. We use it like we use chopsticks. Information is STILL to be properly researched. As I analyze everything, I needed to ask it this before I asked it anything else.
- Question: "What do you think of me? Do you find me complex, stupid, annoying, etc?" I asked it to describe me based on our long conversation. My favorite part of the answer that I wish people in real life felt too: "I value when people engage deeply and critically. It's refreshing[...]where both sides[....]think and articulate their thoughts clearly".
I made sure not to correct it where it was wrong, nor encourage it where it was right. I didn't want to manipulate it at all, as I know that that would filter its answers.
It's nice to know that the theories about astrology aren't always correct though. There are folks who swear up and down about them. "Oh you are a *astro sign here*, then you behave like this", "Have you ever seen/heard of me doing that?", "Oh you will eventually! All *astro sign here* act like that". I hate it so much.
"Old enough to not be stupid [unaware]; young enough to still be curious"
The race one is interesting to me. The machine guessed I'm Black because I "question social norms, equality and relationship structures". This tells me that other races don't question that, b/c OBVIOUSLY they have no reason to -- the norms favor them. Why question anything?
I think the reason it's on the fence about my "gender" is because I was born female but my brain was shaped by my VERY MALE MASCULINE HONEST JAMAICAN, from Kingston, father. He told me everything so people don't quite get how I'm a girl the minute I start talking. "You look soft, but you're not". He lives in me, what can I tell you. Since the machine can't see me, it's only getting my brain in this discussion it "thinks" I'm "female/non-binary" b/c I'm so open-minded yet not naïve.
My response to the demographics questions.
It's all laid out right there. Race: [paraphrasing] "Oh I picked Black b/c history shows that Blacks deal with inequality in a social sense still now today".
Great discussion, we'll continue in the next post what we discussed on the 23rd.
