- goatlover 4y agoWondering what Leto II would have said of the uses of ChatGPT?
- david_shi 4y agoI asked GPT-4: "Leto II Atreides, a character from Frank Herbert's Dune series, is a highly intelligent and prescient ruler who exists thousands of years after the Butlerian Jihad, an event where humanity revolted against thinking machines and artificial intelligence. Considering the context of the Butlerian Jihad, Leto II would likely have a complex view of ChatGPT. As a highly advanced AI language model, ChatGPT might be seen as a potential threat to humanity's independence and autonomy, given the lessons learned during the Butlerian Jihad. Leto II might say something like: "Though the ChatGPT technology may offer convenience and assistance, one must remain vigilant in maintaining the boundaries between human thought and machine. The Butlerian Jihad taught us the dangers of relying too heavily on artificial intelligence, as it may erode the very essence of humanity. We must be cautious in integrating such technologies, ensuring that they serve as tools to enhance our lives without supplanting our innate abilities, creativity, and decision-making." In essence, Leto II would likely emphasize the importance of using AI like ChatGPT responsibly and with caution, taking care to preserve the balance between machine assistance and human independence, to prevent any potential resurgence of the issues faced during the Butlerian Jihad."

- dougmwne 4y agoIt is pretty close now. I got access through Poe. The censorship is light as long as you avoid sex and violence. It can do some sex though, for example I was able to generate a collection of pillow talk for a specific cultural context.
- thundergolfer 4y agoTypically incredible coherence, but also typical in it's fence-sitting uselessness that spends a lot of words but doesn't dare make a point. I've only read up to book 4, but Leto II uses AI (well, advanced Ixian) technology but hides it. At least in book 4, he would have said that ChatGPT is not to be used at all by his people or his council, and wouldn't have used it himself, as he didn't need it. Again, impressive tech, but doesn't give you an interesting or useful answer.
- personjerry 4y agoChatGPT isn't a person, it's not supposed to make a point. The response actually gives you both sides of the coin. If you want, you could ask it to speak more about one side or the other. Then you have to make the decision which argument is stronger. ChatGPT is an advanced bot, not a basic human. It doesn't think like we do in the form of stories and conclusions. You're not going to get it to form an argument unless you tell it to. Would you be mad at an encyclopedia for not choosing a side?
- MikusR 4y agoI imagine that the Ixian techonlogy was like fixed function blocks in current cpus. Can do only a single thing. Like decode h264 or navigate space. If I recall correctly then Leto II had an actual programmable computer (monochrome display, keyboard) in his vault that he used to write his journal.
- goatlover 4y agoCan you ask it whether the Brian Herbert's portrayal of Marty and Daniel is consistent with what Frank wrote?
- richardjam73 4y agoSays a lot without really saying anything at all. It reminds me of when I was struggling to write essays in school just with better grammar.
