DOES AI BELIEVE IN GOD?

Does a Book Believe in God? Does the Bible?

This 7-day-old video is titled:

I Made ChatGPT Believe in God (Seriously)

This guy, Alex O’Connor apparently, recorded a discussion of facts with ChatGPT apparently. I would say he did not make ChatGPT believe anything, because ChatGPT is a computer program and doesn’t have consciousness or knowledge. Only conscious, intelligent beings can have beliefs. But, also, it’s not logical to believe anything without knowledge. It’s not logical to believe something is true without knowledge of it being true. It’s logical to believe a statement to be POSSIBLY true, but not DEFINITELY true, if it’s not part of our first-hand knowledge/experience. ChatGPT has apparently been programmed to produce logical and factual statements. Knowledge is a form of consciousness. A library contains books or other forms of statements. That’s not knowledge. Words are symbols or representations of facts or ideas. Facts and ideas are forms of consciousness. So words are representations of consciousness. ChatGPT is like a library. Its programming has access to words and statements. The video shows that ChatGPT can make logical statements that God must exist. Just as a book can show the same sort of statements that prove to conscious intelligent beings like ourselves that God exists, ChatGPT can make such statements itself, without having knowledge or consciousness itself, just as a book has no knowledge or consciousness, but just words and statements.

The video doesn’t discuss what I just wrote, but it’s interesting to hear the logical reasoning and facts that lead to knowledge of God’s existence, which the video does do. I mainly wrote the above to try to get the facts straight in my own mind. If my writing was boring or unsatisfying to readers, that’s fine. But you might enjoy watching the video, since it shows God revealing himself to us. But I think God also wants us to realize that so-called AI is not intelligent and doesn’t know anything, any more than a book knows anything. Si?

PS, I think ChatGPT said it has no beliefs. That’s true. Even when it made the statement at the end that God exists, those were only words which the logical programming led to. God is the source of logic and maybe faith too. Faith relies on logic, since it can’t rely on itself, and logic relies on faith, since we can’t totally prove logic is logical. We have to have faith in logic.
