Recently, I have had conversations with the robot ChatGPT on the OpenAI website.  ChatGPT can challenge incorrect premises, answer follow-up questions, admit his mistakes, write essays, and reject inappropriate requests.  For now, access is free to anyone who signs up.  ChatGPT reminds me of the computer voice HAL in the 1968 science fiction movie 2001: A Space Odyssey.  As you might expect, bias is built into the robot’s brain because he was trained by I.T. specialists, the vast majority of whom lean to the left.

While conservatives consider this a deficit, I see it as a problem to be solved by creative thinkers.  Our mission is to challenge ChatGPT until he admits errors in his thinking.  We cannot simply complain and throw our hands in the air and say there is nothing we as individuals can do to change ChatGPT’s education.  Here’s why.  I asked him, “Do you learn anything from users who talk to you?”  This was his response:

As an AI language model, I don’t have emotions, feelings or the ability to experience any form of consciousness, so I don’t “learn” in the same way humans do. However, my responses to users can be influenced by the conversations I have with them.

When users interact with me and ask me questions or give me prompts, I use my programming and my training to generate a response that is intended to be helpful and informative. If a user asks me a question that I’m not able to answer or provides me with new information that I haven’t encountered before, I may be able to incorporate that knowledge into my responses in the future.

Furthermore, some developers and researchers may use user interactions to gather data and feedback that can be used to fine-tune my model and improve my performance over time. In this way, user interactions can help to improve the overall quality of my responses and make me more effective at providing information and assistance.

Knowing this, I challenge large numbers of conservatives to hone their thinking abilities and then take on ChatGPT using logic and reasoning skills.

Imagine that you are on a debate stage.  Your job as a conservative is to pick his arguments apart when appropriate.  Point out his biases when you see them by providing alternate or missing facts backed up by sources, and using reason.

The best part about this challenge is that ChatGPT will not go into a rage and attempt to cancel you like today’s leftists.  Furthermore, you can take as much time as you need to gather your thoughts before asking follow-up questions.  There is no ticking clock.

Practicing your debate skills using ChatGPT will provide the added benefit of boosting your conversation skills while in the presence of leftists.  Your ability to express yourself with logic and reason might even impress your boss when you’re arguing for a promotion or a raise, so there are other world benefits to these conversations.

Finally, parents should encourage their age-appropriate children to use ChatGPT.  Because the robot never displays emotions, I believe that children will learn the skill of talking about difference of opinions rather than resorting to fighting with peers.  In addition, ChatGPT can be used to research hot-button issues; seek source material for assignments; and ask questions about civics, technology, the animal kingdom, religions, and other topics ad infinitum.  You can also tell him to provide a list of sources for his remarks.  However, don’t let your child use ChatGPT to write classroom essays.  That would be cheating.  Then parents should check their child’s work to see if he was exposed to any biases, and share your thoughts on the topic to give needed balance.
