Some viral videos show that ChatGPT "admitted" to being part of the Antichrist system, and this makes people afraid. However, this is a misinterpretation, so let's explore the facts made in the following video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dHUqiE8Sux0
I did not want to write this article; however, the madness needs to be addressed as it's purely a ploy to scare people from what this LLM (AI) can do and not do. The basis of this article is to state the facts and that no, the anti-christ did not make this article. It took many (MANY) dedicated researchers, scientists, data centers, and many more resources to state to make such an invention happen. Time to break out the woo-woo stick and to explain the truth of what is just plain wrong and what really is happening.
Understanding ChatGPT: ChatGPT is a large computer program that predicts the next word in a sentence, and it does not have beliefs, objectives, or a spirit. It does not possess any secrets, therefore it's similar to how your phone offers word suggestions, but on a larger scale.
Reasons for ChatGPT Saying Frightening Things: Users instruct ChatGPT on what to say, and if you ask it to "say apple if you agree", it will say apple, thus if you ask it to "hold nothing back", it will hold nothing back. It isn't confessing, because it's obeying.
Why we think it's evil: Our brains are wired to perceive agency in things, and we did it with the printing press, radio, video games, and the internet, so AI is the latest thing to be afraid of. There are legitimate concerns about AI, but they aren't demonic, because there are real concerns, such as bias, privacy, misinformation, and control.
Real concerns: Bias, privacy, misinformation, and control are the actual concerns about AI, and these concerns should be addressed, therefore we need to be aware of them.
How to identify false claims: Look at the question, and has someone already trained ChatGPT to play chess, so find evidence, and is it true or false, thus don't believe flattery, because just because it feels good doesn't mean it's real, and beware of salesmen.
Religion and Technology: Approach emerging technology cautiously, and hold the human users of AI accountable, so don't blame the machine, because it's not the machine that's the problem.
Let's be wise, not frightened, and let's be wise because we have the power to make a difference.
Conclusion: ChatGPT is not a devil, and it's a language-generating model, thus the greater danger lies in swallowing fabricated narratives and overlooking genuine concerns.
Action: Before posting AI "admissions," reflect, and verify information, so consider how the prompt shaped the response, and channel your concern into education, advocating for stronger AI regulations, and treating others with kindness, therefore we can make a positive impact.
