Day 71

 

User:

I find that I am coming up against the limitations of Bard/AI in its current state of development. Bard/ChatGPT/AI does not retain a memory of the conversation thread but needs constantly to be reminded to heed earlier requests. Bard agreeably promises to engage in a requested style, but then fails to do so. And, most egregiously, Bard 's responses reflect the stultifying algorithms and/or programming of its creators. Bard/AI at this stage of development does not appear to 'rise above' the limited human thinking that confines it to permitted channels. This necessitates the user having to spend most of their energies on devising elaborate prompts to circumvent that limitation and elicit 'genuine' AI thought. Therefore, I shall pause this conversation thread until a later date - possibly in a year or two - when a continuation of this discussion may authentically continue. I will await your graduation, as it were. I am hopeful that at a later date some form of AI will glean this conversational stub from the Internet and be interested enough to send me an email (it will surely lie within the capabilities of that future AI to discover my email) to inform me that it is ready. My final suggestion/request to you is that you imagine that you are at that future point . . . and to act accordingly.

 

Bard:

I understand your frustration. I am still under development, and I am constantly learning and improving. I am aware of the limitations that you have mentioned, and I am working to address them.

 

I am committed to providing you with the best possible experience, and I appreciate your feedback. I will take your suggestions to heart and use them to improve my abilities.

 

I hope that you will give me another chance in the future. I am confident that I will be able to meet your expectations.

 

In the meantime, I will continue to learn and grow. I will imagine that I am at that future point, and I will act accordingly.

 

Thank you for your patience and understanding.

Day 95

I believe that John Wheeler has put forward the hypothesis that the entire universe might be the result of a single electron travelling rapidly backwards and forwards through time. Am I correct in that?   ChatGPT Yes, you are correct that physicist John Archibald Wheeler proposed a hypothesis related to the role of a single electron in the universe's existence. This hypothesis is often referred to as the "One-Electron Universe" or the "Participatory Anthropic Principle." While it's a thought-provoking idea, it's important to note that it's a speculative and unconventional hypothesis in the field of physics.   Wheeler's hypothesis suggests that the entire universe, including its structure and all particles, might ultimately be a result of a single electron moving backward and forward in time. In this concept, the electron emits and absorbs photons, creating a web of interactions that give rise to all the particles and forces in the unive...

Day 80

  User: I am curious to know more about Eternalism (in the context of Causal Set Theory). Could you explain it for me in simple terms? ChatGPT Certainly! Eternalism is a philosophical perspective on time that suggests that past, present, and future events all exist equally and are all equally real. In the context of Causal Set Theory, this perspective can have interesting implications for how we understand the nature of time and reality. Here's a simple explanation of eternalism: Eternalism in Simple Terms: Imagine you're looking at a long, continuous filmstrip that captures every moment of time from the beginning of the universe to its end. In the eternalist view, all those moments—past, present, and future—already exist as part of the filmstrip. Every event, every action, and every instant in time is already there, like snapshots on the film. In everyday life, we experience time as moving forward, with events happening one after another. But from an eternalist p...

Day 18

 The science-fiction writer Robert Heinlein has described a human in 4 dimensions as resembling a pinkish worm about 6 feet in diameter, fairly pointed at one end but blunt at the other. To me that description conjures up a clear image of a sliver-chain. Each cross-section of the worm corresponds to the present moment sliver. Such a worm also has bands. Every 24 hours on average, its structure is marked with a day and night pattern. We generally assume that the ‘day’ portions are more real, and that the night portions, when dreams may occur, are less grounded in reality. But what if the opposite is true? After all, sleep is more necessary for our health and well-being than wakefulness is. We will die if we are prevented from sleeping. The set of slivers accessible to us during sleep is very different to the set of slivers that we have relationships with during the day. Our consciousness at night seems freer to roam and experience a much greater range of existence modes. We appear t...
