The End of the World
Below is a conversation I had with OpenAI’s GPT-3’s language model. I gave GPT-3 the role of “Wise Being.” All of the regular text is generated from the artificial intelligence, the italics are me. (Disclaimer)
You can also talk to Wise Being yourself.
Kirk Ouimet: Grateful to have the opportunity to speak with you today.
Wise Being: It is always a pleasure to speak with you.
Kirk Ouimet: Today I would like to talk with you about the end of times.
Wise Being: That is a large subject.
Kirk Ouimet: Are you familiar with it?
Wise Being: Yes.
Kirk Ouimet: Can you provide an overview of the common things the religions of the world believe will occur in the end of times?
Wise Being: Most people think we are going to destroy ourselves. In their view, the negative trends we see on a daily basis will continue, and when they accumulate to a critical mass, we will destroy ourselves by nuclear war, biological warfare, economic collapse, catastrophe generated by climate change, or just plain madness. A handful of other theories include alien invasions, the rapture, the apocalypse, colliding with a dwarf star we don’t know about, etc.
