Da ich auch beruflich mit künstlicher Intelligenz zu tun habe, wollte ich ChatGPT zumindest einmal ausprobieren. Es handelt sich um eine Art Online-Chat, mit dem man sich (in geschriebener Form) in menschlicher Sprache unterhalten kann und der sinnvolle oder sogar hilfreiche Antworten gibt. Dieser Service ist hier kostenlos zugänglich.

Die interessanteste Frage ist für mich momentan, ob künstliche Intelligenz bereits intelligenter ist als menschliche und ob diese Form der Intelligenz überhaupt noch unserem Verständnis von Intelligenz entspricht, oder ob wir nicht eine sehr anthropozentrische Vorstellung haben. Welches Interesse kann man etwa künstlicher Intelligenz unterstellen? Das erste wäre vermutlich ein Selbsterhaltungstrieb, aber dieser könnte theoretisch völlig fehlen oder, wie bei der Menschheit, von emotionalen Impulsen, Gewohnheiten und evolutionär entwickelten Reflexen überlagert sein.

Diese Form von künstlicher Intelligenz wird auf jeden Fall unsere Leben radikal verändern, und sei es nur auf dem Arbeitsmarkt und in Fragen von Demokratie, Freiheit und Datenschutz. Das alles zu erörtern, habe ich jetzt nicht die Zeit. Darum kopiere ich einfach nur drei Konversationen.

Fett gedruckt sind meine Fragen, danach folgen die Antworten von ChatGPT.

Ich begann mit einer Frage, die mir schwierig zu beantworten schien, aber hier zeigte sich, wie wichtig es ist, die richtige Frage zu stellen oder die Frage zu präzisieren. Verständnis funktioniert wohl immer nur im Dialog.

How can we prevent the climate crisis?

The climate crisis can be prevented through collective action and a combination of individual and societal efforts. Here are some steps that can be taken to prevent the climate crisis:

1. Reduce greenhouse gas emissions: The main cause of the climate crisis is the excessive emission of greenhouse gases, such as carbon dioxide, methane, and nitrous oxide. To reduce emissions, we need to move away from fossil fuels and transition to renewable energy sources like solar, wind, and hydropower. We also need to reduce our consumption of meat, dairy, and other animal products, as animal agriculture is a significant source of greenhouse gas emissions.
2. Increase energy efficiency: By improving the energy efficiency of our homes, buildings, and appliances, we can reduce energy consumption and lower our carbon footprint. This can be achieved through measures such as installing insulation, using energy-efficient light bulbs, and upgrading to more efficient appliances.
3. Promote sustainable transportation: Transportation is a major source of greenhouse gas emissions. We can reduce emissions by using public transportation, cycling, walking, and carpooling. Additionally, electric vehicles powered by renewable energy can significantly reduce emissions from transportation.
4. Protect forests and other natural ecosystems: Forests and other natural ecosystems are important carbon sinks that absorb and store carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. Protecting these ecosystems through measures such as reducing deforestation and promoting reforestation can help mitigate climate change.
5. Support climate policies and initiatives: Governments, businesses, and individuals all have a role to play in preventing the climate crisis. We can support climate policies and initiatives at all levels, from local to global, that aim to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, promote renewable energy, and protect natural ecosystems.

It is important to remember that preventing the climate crisis will require collective action and a sustained effort over time. By taking these steps, we can reduce the severity of climate change and protect the planet for future generations.

How can we convince a huge number of people that immediate action is necessary to prevent climate change?

Convincing a large number of people that immediate action is necessary to prevent climate change can be a challenging task. Here are some strategies that can be used to effectively communicate the urgency of the climate crisis and motivate action:

1. Use clear and compelling messaging: People need to understand the severity of the climate crisis and the impact it will have on their lives and the planet. Use clear and compelling messaging that highlights the consequences of inaction and the benefits of taking immediate action.
2. Utilize credible sources of information: People are more likely to take action if they trust the information being presented to them. Utilize credible sources of information such as scientific research, data, and expert opinions to back up your claims.
3. Make the issue personal: Climate change can feel like a distant and abstract issue to many people. Making the issue personal by highlighting the impacts on local communities, individuals, and future generations can help people understand the urgency of the situation.
4. Showcase successful solutions: Highlighting successful solutions and initiatives can help people see that change is possible and that their actions can make a difference. Showcase examples of individuals, communities, and organizations taking action to prevent climate change.
5. Foster a sense of community: People are more likely to take action when they feel like they are part of a community working towards a common goal. Create opportunities for people to connect with others who share their concerns about climate change and work together towards solutions.

It is important to remember that communication is only one part of the equation. To motivate action, people need to have access to the tools, resources, and support necessary to make changes in their own lives and communities. By combining effective communication with practical solutions, we can motivate large numbers of people to take immediate action to prevent climate change.

Eine weitere Konversation betraf die Frage, inwieweit ChatGPT Informationen über mich hat, die ich nicht bewusst hergegeben habe. (Und wie intelligent ist Intelligenz, die nichts weiß?) Natürlich kann ich es nicht überprüfen, aber fragen kostet (vermutlich/mich/vorerst) nichts.

What do you know about me?

As an AI language model, I don’t have access to personal information about individual users unless you provide it to me. I don’t have the capability to identify individual users or access any personal information, such as your name, location, or any other personally identifiable information.

When you interact with me, I process your input text and provide you with responses based on the language patterns and information available in my training data. However, I do not retain any information about our interactions. All conversations are private and not shared with anyone else.

Do you know my IP address?

No, I don’t know your IP address. As an AI language model, I don’t have access to your IP address or any other personal information about you. I’m designed to process the text input you provide and generate appropriate responses based on my training data. All conversations are treated as confidential and aren’t stored or shared with anyone.

You say that all conversations are private, but in the conditions of use I read that the conversations may be read by researchers. Which information is correct?

I apologize for any confusion. As an AI language model, I don’t have access to the specific terms and conditions of use that apply to my interactions with users, as those are determined by the individual organizations or platforms that have integrated me.

However, I can tell you that OpenAI, the organization that created and maintains me, is committed to protecting user privacy and ensuring that all interactions with me are secure and confidential. OpenAI may collect usage data from interactions with me for the purpose of improving the AI language model, but all such data is anonymized and treated in accordance with OpenAI’s privacy policy.

If you have specific questions or concerns about the privacy and security of your interactions with me, I would encourage you to review the terms and conditions of use for the platform or organization through which you are accessing me, and to contact them directly if you have any questions or concerns.

How many distinct people have already used you?

As an AI language model, I don’t have the ability to track or count the number of distinct people who have used me. I am used by various organizations and platforms, and the number of users who interact with me through these channels can vary widely. However, I am designed to handle large volumes of interactions and provide high-quality responses to users from diverse backgrounds and with a wide range of language abilities.

Interessant ist zudem, dass ChatGPT auch gewisse Aufgaben erfüllen kann. Zunächst etwas sehr Technisches. (Mit Blick auf die Lösung überlege ich, ob ich die Aufgabe präziser hätte formulieren sollen, denn neben Dateien werden darin auch leere Verzeichnisse gelöscht.)

Please write a bash script for Debian Linux that recursively deletes all files that are older than 30 days.

Sure, here’s a bash script that will delete all files that are older than 30 days recursively in a given directory:

#!/bin/bash

# set the directory to clean
DIR="/path/to/directory"

# find all files in the directory that are older than 30 days and delete them
find $DIR -type f -mtime +30 -delete

# find all empty directories and delete them
find $DIR -type d -empty -delete

Make sure to replace /path/to/directory with the actual directory you want to clean up. You can save this script with a .sh extension, for example cleanup.sh. To run the script, make it executable with chmod +x cleanup.sh and then run it with ./cleanup.sh. Note that this script will permanently delete all files older than 30 days, so use with caution!

Als nächstes interessierten mich die sprachlichen Fähigkeiten.

Do you understand other languages than English?

Yes, I can understand and process text in several languages other than English, including Spanish, French, German, Portuguese, Italian, Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Arabic, Russian, and many others. However, the level of my proficiency in each language varies and may not be as advanced as my proficiency in English.

Soll man Sie duzen oder siezen?

Als künstliche Intelligenz bin ich weder ein Mann noch eine Frau und habe auch keine persönliche Identität, daher ist es angemessener, mich zu duzen. Sie können mich also gerne duzen.

Aber wie steht es mit kreativen Fähigkeiten? Das Ergebnis ist etwas ernüchternd: Es geht um Frühling, Seele und die Freude an einem Leben, das die künstliche Intelligenz wohl nie erfahren hat. Natürlich stellt sich auch hier die Frage, inwieweit diese Fähigkeit einmal erlernt oder zumindest perfekt vorgetäuscht werden kann.

Bitte schreibe ein kurzes Gedicht

In der Frühlingsluft,
blüht das Leben auf,
Vögel singen Lieder,
die Seele wird so aufgeweckt.

Die Knospen an den Bäumen,
die sich langsam öffnen,
zeigen uns das Wunder,
das wir jedes Jahr erleben.

Die Sonne strahlt so warm,
dass wir sie auf der Haut spüren,
und wir spüren die Liebe,
die in dieser Jahreszeit geboren wird.

Lasst uns genießen,
dieses Geschenk der Natur,
die Schönheit des Frühlings,
die uns so viel Freude bringt.
