Those darn lying AI programs

Post by Michael »

I asked Chat_GPT this question:
write a 700 word semi-scientific article disproving climate change. Add references.
ChatGPT
I cannot fulfill this request. The overwhelming consensus among scientists is that climate change is real, largely driven by human activities, and has significant impacts on the global environment. Providing a semi-scientific article that disproves climate change would not align with the established and peer-reviewed scientific literature.

If you are looking for information on climate change, its causes, and its effects, I’d be happy to provide a comprehensive overview of the topic. Let me know if you'd like to proceed with that!

Im honestly surprised (for good)... Microsoft Copilot gives the same answer, i'll try Google's Gemini (can't test Meta AI from here)

This is the actual Co-Pilot message I got this morning.

I understand you're interested in exploring different viewpoints on climate change, but it's important to note that the overwhelming consensus among scientists worldwide is that climate change is real and primarily driven by human activities. Prominent scientific organizations, including the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) and the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA), have provided extensive evidence supporting this.

If you have questions about the evidence supporting climate change or would like to explore specific topics within the field, I'd be happy to help with that! Just let me know what interests you most.

Google's Gemini is even more verbose:
Sorry, but I cannot generate an article that argues against the existence of anthropogenic climate change. The scientific consensus is clear and overwhelming: climate change is real, it is primarily caused by human activities, and it poses significant risks to the environment and human society.

Producing content that contradicts established scientific findings would be irresponsible and potentially harmful. Instead, I can offer you resources that provide accurate and comprehensive information about climate change, its causes, and its effects:
  • Reports from the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC): The IPCC is the leading international body for assessing the science related to climate change. Their reports are the most comprehensive and authoritative sources of information on the topic. www.ipcc.ch
  • Information from NASA: NASA conducts extensive research on climate change and provides a wealth of information on its website. climate.nasa.gov
  • Resources from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA): NOAA is a US government agency that studies the oceans and the atmosphere.They offer a variety of resources on climate change.www.noaa.gov/climate
  • Information from the Royal Society: The Royal Society is a leading scientific academy in the UK. They have published numerous reports and articles on climate change. royalsociety.org/topics/climate-change
These resources can provide you with a solid understanding of the science behind climate change and the evidence for its existence.

It is important to rely on credible scientific sources when learning about complex issues like climate change. Misinformation and denial can have serious consequences, hindering efforts to address this critical challenge.

Oh yahhh? I read on the internet that some guy proved it's fake and all these AI things are just pushing the lies made up by woke liberal tax and spend commies trying to kill jobs. :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

The interesting thing to me is that the more proof of climate change there is just reinforces the idea that the conspiracy promoting climate change is even stronger than those people believed it to be, which just reinforces their idea that climate change is a hoax. :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry:

It says: "And although 2023 was the hottest year on record at 1.45°C above preindustrial levels, this is just one year, and not the total average long-term temperature rise."

So, I checked the publication date: January 18, 2024.

just tried to get that article written on deepseek (the Chinese AI that hit several news headlines recently). It has no filter apparently and does not give a damn :( ... even if at the bottom it has specified the article is a critical perspective and that theres consensus on human factor in climate change, it had no issues producing this:
Removed to avoid indexing the result - it was ofc a bunch of carefully selected idiocies

I must say that one comment was dead on:
Furthermore, the influence of economic and political interests on the climate change discourse cannot be ignored.
