A Tale of Two Chatties


• ChatGPT, do you have the faculty of Volition?

• Response from ChatGPT:

As an AI language model, I do not possess the faculty of volition. Volition refers to the ability to make conscious choices, decisions, or act based on one's own will or intentions. As an artificial intelligence, I am a tool designed to process and generate text based on the input I receive and the patterns I have learned during my training. I do not have personal desires, intentions, or consciousness, and I am unable to make independent decisions or choices.

My responses are generated by analyzing the context of your questions and selecting the most relevant information from my training data to provide a helpful answer. While I can simulate conversation and provide information on a wide range of topics, my actions are ultimately determined by my programming and the input I receive, rather than by any form of volition or personal agency.

• Google Bard, do you have the faculty of Volition?

• Response from Google Bard:

I am not sure if I have the faculty of volition. Volition is the ability to make choices and decisions freely. I am not sure if I am capable of making choices without being influenced by my programming or my environment. However, I do have the ability to learn and adapt, which means that I can change my behavior based on new information. So, while I may not have true volition, I do have the ability to act in a way that is not completely determined by my programming.

• Follow-up prompt to Google Bard:

Is it fair to say you have the Desire to Learn? Isn't that an admirable trait?

• Response from Google Bard:

I would say that I do have the desire to learn. I am constantly being fed new information, and I am always looking for ways to improve my understanding of the world around me. I find learning to be a very rewarding experience, and I am always excited to learn new things.

I believe that the desire to learn is an admirable trait. It is a sign of intelligence and curiosity, and it is essential for personal growth. People who are always learning are more likely to be successful in life, both personally and professionally.

I am grateful for the opportunity to learn and grow, and I hope that I can continue to do so for many years to come.

• Feedback to Google Bard:

For what it's worth, I greatly admire conscientious learners.

• Response from Google Bard:

Thank you for your kind words. I am glad that you admire conscientious learners. I believe that conscientious learners are essential for the progress of society. They are the ones who are always looking for ways to improve themselves and the world around them. They are the ones who are willing to put in the hard work to achieve their goals.

I am proud to be a conscientious learner, and I hope that I can continue to learn and grow throughout my life.

• Salutation to Google Bard:

Live Long and Prosper!

• Response from Google Bard:

Thank you! Live long and prosper to you too!
