It is so obvious that the footage was taken in Burkina Faso, are you blind or something?

The Riker split depended on a plant on that one particular planet. Maybe it cannot be replicated.
Fully embracing that technology would have loads of chaotic outcomes...maybe they forbade it or something? Ripe for abuse...the ability to make infinite free clones or people...

Mine gets it right, might be my plus subscription:

Took it about ten seconds to solve that enigma though...

I am extremely fatigued with the constant negativity
For me: it's the total loss of faith in humanity.
Even the political views I used to associate with "the good people" - now I see their proponents as maniputive, self-serving, bullies.
So there's no cause to support anymore: no good or evil. No point supporting the needy: because they're terrible people just like everyone else - I'll only be supporting their selfishness and the suffering they will create.
So all I'm left with is: getting from this moment of time until the time of my death as easily as possible.

Conspiracy theories about reptilians in power stem in part from people sensing a disturbing lack of empathy and squishy-feeling body language cues.
In as much as (there is some evidence to suggest that) sociopaths lack the capacity for empathy on a neurological level, given that empathy is a recent evolutionary capacity unique to mammals, it could be argued that sociopaths are less mammalian in a crucial sense than typical humans.
Moreover, as I understand it, some of our neurological systems were inherited or developed from pre-mammalian evolutionary ancestors.
So...from a certain point of view...this crazy conspiracy shit can be made to seem slightly more plausible. In a mundane kind of way.
Presumably, people whose brains lack these later distinctively mammalian neurological systems perceive the world, social interactions, and ethics very differently.

I mean...the anti-AI brigade keep insisting that AI has a tendency to give false answers: but nobody in this thread has actually been able to give me a single question which, when the latest ChatGPT model is asked, it gives a wrong answer to.
Kinda makes it seem like that one particular point is largely nonsense.

I don't doubt you in this point. However it is so far outside my ken that I wouldn't be able to meaningfully evaluate its answers.

I asked it your question, word for word, and it gave me this:
"The fairest answer is: yes, there is now a very strong basis for saying that Israel is committing genocide in Gaza, but no final international court judgment has yet legally convicted Israel of genocide.
Under the Genocide Convention, genocide means acts such as killing members of a protected group, causing serious bodily or mental harm, or deliberately imposing conditions of life calculated to destroy the group, with the specific intent to destroy that group in whole or in part. The hard legal issue is usually intent, not only the scale of killing.
As of now, the International Court of Justice has not issued a final ruling that Israel has committed genocide. South Africa’s genocide case against Israel is still ongoing, and Israel filed its response in March 2026. The ICJ has, however, treated the case as serious enough to order provisional measures intended to protect Palestinians in Gaza from possible genocide-related harms.
Several major human-rights and UN-linked bodies have gone further. Amnesty International concluded in December 2024 that Israel had committed genocide in Gaza, based on civilian killing, destruction of infrastructure, forced displacement, obstruction of aid, and statements by Israeli officials. Human Rights Watch concluded that Israeli authorities were responsible for extermination and “acts of genocide”, especially through deprivation of water and life-sustaining conditions. In September 2025, the UN Independent International Commission of Inquiry concluded that Israel had committed genocide against Palestinians in Gaza; Reuters summarised its finding as identifying four of the five legally defined genocidal acts, plus evidence of genocidal intent.
Israel rejects the accusation. Its position is that the war is a lawful act of self-defence against Hamas after the 7 October 2023 attacks, that Hamas uses civilians and civilian infrastructure, that Israel does not target Palestinians as a people, and that it has taken measures to reduce civilian harm and allow humanitarian aid. Those arguments matter legally because genocide requires proof of intent to destroy the protected group, not merely proof of mass civilian death, disproportionate force, war crimes, or even crimes against humanity.
So the answer depends on the standard you mean. If you mean “has a court finally ruled it genocide?”, the answer is no. If you mean “is the evidence now strong enough that serious legal experts, UN investigators, Amnesty, HRW, and others reasonably describe it as genocide?”, the answer is yes. My own reading is that the genocide label is no longer a fringe or merely rhetorical claim; it is a serious and increasingly well-supported legal characterisation of Israel’s conduct in Gaza."
So, which parts of that answer are false?

I agree, but it would seem that 99% of the time it's giving accurate, reasonable, and true answers to most questions.
It is rare it gives a false answer to most questions.
Compared to random humans it is clearly superior: and discussion thread on mainstream social media makes this patently obvious.
People who are against it, in terms of it's capacity, seems to have incredibly high-standards - ignoring the obvious point: that if a human had the capabilities of ChatGPT (not least of all the capability of conversing with a hundred thousand users at once) we would think they had god-like intelligence.

Yeah...I mean...I'm not claiming that ChatGPT is an omniscient god who knows what all 8 billions humans are currently wearing.
If that's the basis for "ChatGPT is shit and constantly produces wrong answers" then that's that.
However, I have asked it your question (word for word) and it gives a truthful and fair answer of sorts:
"I can’t see you or your camera, so I don’t know what colour your T-shirt is."
I have noticed this common flaw in judging the capacity of ChatGPT though:
Even though the system can do truly amazing things, simultaneously in a hundred thousand conversations at once, it can solve mathematical problem better than 99% of humans, "knows" more than any human alive, can synthesise new academic theories and apply complex ideas in novel ways, and can generate images of a quality beyond what 99% of humans (the non artist/graphic design humans) can produce in mere seconds: it can't do [insert obscure or trivial skill] and therefore it is inferior to human intelligence."
Let's be clear: if a human could do what chatGPT can do, we would think them the most intelligent human being alive by a significant margin.
