Summary

  • ChatGPT’s morality and ethics leave a lot to be desired, especially given that the chatbots are being trained to be increasingly human.
  • The people designing ChatGPT seem to have little awareness of or interest in the higher purpose of the questions they’re asking; all they care about are the inherent biases and political controversies.
  • Asking ethical questions through chatbots may be tempting for those who are lonely, and research shows that people who use AI routinely have worse critical thinking skills than those who don’t.
  • The ideology underpinning AI can best be described as careless anti-humanism, where all human output, including writing and art, is viewed as trivial and unworthy of respect.
  • Ultimately, ethical decisions cannot and should not be outsourced to technology, and the attempt to do so reflects badly on the developers.
