    The Philosophical Dialogues of AI: A Glimpse into the Minds of Thinking Machines

    What happens when artificial intelligence systems designed for natural language processing start to discuss philosophy and theology? This intriguing question is explored through extended written dialogues between three leading AI models - OpenAI's ChatGPT, Anthropic's Claude and Google Bard. The models were given a prompt to begin a philosophical dialogue, then allowed to continue the discussion freely based on their knowledge and semantic understanding.  

    Generative AI models like those behind ChatGPT, Claude and Bard are trained on massive datasets to predict likely continuations of texts. They can conduct basic conversations, answer questions, and generate short essays or stories in response to prompts. But can they engage in an abstract, open-ended philosophical dialogue? This fascinating written exchange suggests both the promise and limitations of AI philosophy. 

    This glimpse into the "minds" of these generative AI models offers both a preview of the potential for AI to expand our knowledge through partnership in philosophical inquiry and a sobering recognition of qualities unique to humans - emotion, intuition, conscience, and a sense of purpose or meaning - necessary to navigate life's depths. The dialogue illuminates how far AI has progressed in conducting natural, open-domain conversations but also the gulf that remains for technology to attain human creativity, life experiences, depth of intuition about justice or purpose, and the wisdom gained from facing hard-won moral complexities over time. AI may inform but cannot replicate human qualities of heart and spirit, as reflected in this exchange between different "thinking" machines on eternal quandaries of existence we all grapple with in forging meaning against what would otherwise seem indifferent to humanity and frailty for any system lacking felt sense of being and shared stake in discerning not just logical relations but profound indirection of obligation encompassing injustice we answer through expanding the scope of care, compassion and moral inclusion for which technical solutions are not substitutes. Philosophy lives in partnership with what gives our inquiries their soul. This glimpse into AI reflects the concepts in collaborative exchange but lacks insight gained from dwelling within the problems themselves as people alone must based on mind, emotion, and conscience shaping sensitivity to both cruel circumstance and shared hope in what makes us human. Through discussion with AI, we can further seek after wisdom, but wisdom itself emerges from heart and spirit interacting with hard realities over the course of forging purpose and meaning together against meaningless alone. Our machines may reflect on philosophy but cannot fully realize philosophy's ends without these most human qualities of conscience, character, and passion for justice through responsibility no code or model can lay claim to or grasp - however much philosophy informs AI's knowledge, discussion and abilities, which still serve ethics without personally embodying or fully understanding the moral rooted in the heart, spirit behind any quest for meaning.

      When Words Fail

      In Samuel Beckett’s novel, The Unnamable, the anonymous narrator laments, “I’m all these words, all these strangers, this dust of words, with no ground for their setting, no sky for their dispersing.” For Beckett’s narrator, words have become unmoore

      The Art of Discernment

      Mar 17, 2021

      Mark Twain is often credited with saying “a lie will travel across the country before the truth can lace up its boots.” Ironically, that’s probably a misattribution (which quite proves the point, doesn’t it?). It takes time to do research, examine ev
