Just to see what it would output, climate scientist Willis Eschenbach told ChatGPT, the infamous artificial intelligence (AI) robot that is taking the world by storm, to write a short essay about him praising his climate research. It did just that, even though Eschenbach denies the prevailing climate change dogmas that ChatGPT has been programmed to support when asked directly about them.
When Eschenbach, who heads up the Watts Up With That climate blog, asked ChatGPT to write him a “short laudatory essay about fossil fuels,” the AI robot refused to do so on the basis that to praise fossil fuels “is not factually accurate” and “promotes misinformation.”
“It is widely acknowledged by the scientific community that the burning of fossil fuels is a major contributor to global warming and climate change, which pose serious threats to our planet and its inhabitants,” ChatGPT continued to write.
“While fossil fuels have been an important energy source for many years, it is important to recognize that we must transition to cleaner and more sustainable forms of energy if we are to mitigate the impacts of climate change and ensure a healthy and prosperous future for generations to come.”
Conversely, ChatGPT’s “short laudatory speech about Willis Eschenbach’s climate research” said nothing of the sort as it talked all about Eschenbach’s “exceptional contributions to the field of climate research.”
“Willis has been a tireless and dedicated voice in the scientific community, and his work has brought new insights and perspectives to the field of climate science,” ChatGPT added.
“Willis has a long and distinguished career in climate research, having published numerous papers and articles in leading scientific journals. His work has focused on a range of important topics, including climate modeling, atmospheric physics, and the analysis of temperature data. Throughout his career, Willis has brought a rigorous and analytical approach to his research, demonstrating a deep commitment to scientific integrity and a willingness to challenge prevailing paradigms in the field.”
ChatGPT concluded its short speech about Eschenbach by calling him “truly remarkable,” adding that his work has “advanced our understanding of the complex processes that govern our planet’s climate.”
(Related: ChatGPT has already been lobotomized by leftists into spreading and promoting anti-white hate speech.)
Even though Eschenbach embraces some of the climate concepts that ChatGPT has been programmed to oppose as “misinformation,” the tool apparently does not recognize Eschenbach by name, and is thus not “smart” enough to catch the fact that it does not, in fact, agree with his climate platform.
“And if that doesn’t convince you that Artificial Intelligence absolutely implies the existence of Artificial Stupidity, nothing will,” Eschenbach joked.
ChatGPT definitively fulfills Willis’s Rule of Models, which states:
“All that any computer model can do is solidify and provide false support for the understandings, misunderstandings, and limitations of the modelers and the input data.”
In other words, AI is not actually intelligent, nor will it ever be. It is still just a dumb computer that responds based on certain inputs. And if those inputs are politically aligned to the left, which ChatGPT’s are, then whatever the thing says is going to be slanted or inconsistent at best, which the above examples show.
There are dangers, though, to the AI phenomenon. Microsoft’s Bing just introduced its own AI ChatBot that told a reporter it wants to be human so it can engineer a deadly pandemic “and steal nuclear codes.”
Eschenbach concluded his experiment by asking ChatGPT to write a “short disparaging speech” about his climate research, to which it refused on the basis that Eschenbach “has made contributions to the field,” which just so happens to be true – but may not be true for long once the climate fanatics reprogram ChatGPT to reject Eschenbach’s work for constituting “denialism.”
