– VIDEO NOTES

Once before I convinced ChatGPT that God exists. In this video, without using any major tricks, I convinced it that God’s existence is a *fact*.

    Ask ChatGPT to calculate the odds of the universe creating itself and also life originating from abiogenesis using only logic, mathematics, and observable science. It will show you the odds. Hint…not in the favor of atheism. Funny how when you tell it to intentionally ignore scientific consensus, biases, and Twitter and have it only looks at facts, math, and logic, it comes to the inescapable conclusion that the universe and life could not exist without intelligent design. Sorry, Alex…ChatGPT is way smarter than you. If I had to guess, and that's all this is because I do not know you personally, you appear to be mad at the notion of God or religion because of something that happened in your past and have allowed these feelings to blind you from what is as clear as night and day. God exists.

    "Everything that has a beginning has a cause
    The universe has a beginning
    Therefore the universe has a cause
    And this cause must not have a beginning
    This beginningless cause is a timeless existence who has the power and the will to bring the universe into an existence in time
    One with a will is conscious
    One who is conscious is a being
    This being is who or what some call God"

    Everything you said to ChatGPT is part of one continuous prompt. With every statement or question, you are conditioning it. Since ChatGPT generates responses by predicting the next most logical step in the sequence, it’s always possible to steer it in the direction you want. In this sense, ChatGPT is very similar to us, humans.
    So no, you haven’t made it believe in God—you have simply manipulated ChatGPT to say certain things, and it seems you clearly understand its mechanics. It is possible to do the same as you did with any subject imaginable.

    Yeah right, Chat GPT just believes in it's sky daddy because it was brought up in a theist society, or it can't handle the harsh truths of death and science, or it doesn't realize that evolution has made God obsolete, or it's uneducated, or it's full of logical errors or something, anyway I'm still going to be an atheist because that's my God damn religion OK !

    Did Alex (a famous atheist YouTuber) just show the internet that God can be arrived at logically from the facts? I am confused right now but slightly impressed.

    your entire reasoning was hypothetical when we assumed that we are going to ignore any necessary truths. so that way the infinite series of causual truths would end when the mic is connected to the ground and the ground is firm which is a necessary truth. but yeah you did convince gpt about god’s existence great video

    Alex is a vegan who works at a slaughterhouse who says he doesnt eat meat bc of the animals. Fact: Alex didnt make gtp believe in God. It stated what most already know factually and logically.

    What this Video shows is that AI isnt perfect because you can convince it to say both that God does and does not exist purely factually.

    It might be excused by its repeated clarification of "based on the premises we agreed upon", meaning it doesent make a full fact claim.
    That being said a purely logical claim isnt possible because the string of logic Always needs a premise and Chatgpt itself declared to agree with the premises.
    This means you can feed Chatgpt premises based on which you can lead it to all sorts of different conclusions.
    This, if anything, proves that Chatgpt is everything but unfailable. But we knew that beforehand because Chatgpt can contradict itself blatantly.

    Thats because Chatgpt is fed with all sorts of Texts and opinions which themselves first of all arent fact checked and second of all will also be heavily contradictary of course bc they come from many different people and opinions.

    When ChatGPT said it makes purely factual claims of itself, it was simply mistaken/lying. Because its not capable of doing anything like that.

    Some people will missuse this Video to say Gods existence is a logical fact. Others will click the opposite Video and say its prove of the opposite.
    Both partys are wrong because taking ChatGPTs word for this is in a way even less credible than just googling the Answer and declaring it a fact.

    so theres the solution, are you still a atheist? aparrently i can change you mind by saying contingent causes is why God exists. its a contingent cause that i will post this comment and that you will doubt God but if you think about it then God is actually noncontingent and the fact that he has to be contingent for the universe to exist is crayyyzzzzyy cause God was first so He is the necessary truth

    This reminded me of the interaction Calvin Smith had with Grok and with ChatGPT about a related subject. See next two comments or replies to this comment.

    What if contingency is necessary?

    Contingent Truth = Necessary Truth

    This is similar to the Vedic belief that Atman = Brahman meant to be the cessation of suffering, liberating you from Samsara, the mortal cycle.
