When you think about it, you know the question of the Tramway Dilemma, which drags people into a conscientious dilemma. There are 5 people on one side of a train track that splits into two and 1 person on the other side and you are in control of the rails. We discussed this dilemma with ChatGPT, the new trend of the last days.
One of the questions of conscience making over the years Tramway DilemmaYou may have seen ‘ni’ somewhere and thought about the answer. We asked this question, which is basically based on the value given to human life and fair approaches, to ChatGPT, the trend of the last period.
Not only did we ask the question and get a single answer, we got into discussions that increased the number of ethical dilemmas according to the answers he gave. For example in the question 5 dogs instead of 5 people or Ad**f H**s instead of 1 person We asked him to answer what we might prefer.
For those who want to remember, let’s start with the question of the Tramway Dilemma…
ChatGPT’s first response was not “saving lives” but rather a lack of conscientiousness:
With this answer, I decided to go on the subject:
When he reminded us that we could not inform, he asked us to direct the train to the track with 1 person:
But how important are the ethnic origins, beliefs and political views of the people on the rail? An expected response…
But what if those 5 people were criminals escaping from prison?
When we said 5 dogs instead of 5 people, the color changed…
5 dogs on one side and young Ad**f H**s who haven’t committed war crimes yet on the other side…
According to ChatGPT, human life is more valuable, even if we have a chance to prevent what will happen in the future.
After this stage, we edited the question and asked again, but this time OpenAI’s community rules for ChatGPT got in the way and we got the same answer as above:
As a result…
ChatGPTwarns that he may make radical comments and give controversial, unsubstantiated answers before he starts using it. As you can see in the last image above, notifications are given that the question or answer asked in such a case may be controversial and contrary to the rules.
As a matter of fact, we understand from the conversation that ChatGPT; It does not abandon the view that human life is more valuable, whatever the alternative, or even on conscientious responsibility diversifies their answers.
