Banno

Nice. It curiously meets a recent meme that describes AI as providing a set of words that sound like an answer.

Trying to put some flesh on the thought, there doesn't appear to be any formal reason not to suppose that we could use Ramsey's approach to attribute ...

Do you agree that AI does not do philosophy, yet we might do philosophy with AI? That sems to be the growing consensus. The puzzle is how to explain t...

Cool. Then the protocol set out above introduces and develops the doxa, situating the interaction in a language game. So roleplaying in the game - pre...

And if we follow Wittgenstein, then the aesthetic is of the highest import; after all, it is what decides what we do. If the AI only produces strings ...

So do we agree that whatever is connotative in an interaction with an AI is introduced by the humans involved? Neither does an AI have doxa, beliefs. ...

Does it seem to you that AI favours analytic approaches? On the face of it, one might think so - that it's good at writing code and analysing logical ...

Go on one step further. What do you think my response to you would be, given what I've said above? Imagine what Banno would say in reply to your post....

One of the aspects of good us of AI that came up in the analysis was iteration. Taking the outcome of a discussion withe the AI and using it as the ba...

The upshot of that might be that AI cannot do philosophy, but that a person may do philosophy using an AI. The AI strings words together, only ever pe...

:grin: Well, if that's so I entirely agree - that idea of an "inner theatre" is a nonsense. I'll go over Austin again, since it provides a set of tool...

By way of getting the thread back on topic, this is from Claude, prompted by the URLs for all five pages and

This is a thread about ways to make use of AI in doing philosophy. There is another thread about banning AI altogether.

From elsewhere:

Thank you.

Cheers, Sam. Thanks for your contributions. I've thoroughly enjoyed our disagreements. Dealing with someone both forthright and knowledgeable, such as...

Again, you have not even attempted to show that the AI's summation was in any way inaccurate. Again, it is presented in support of a contention, and n...

That's simply not so. I am not saying that because it is AI generated, it is authoritative. The material is offered here for critique. Baden asked who...

It's noticeable that you have not presented any evidence, one way or the other. If you think that what the AI said is wrong, then what you ought do is...

It's not too bad at providing support for game play, too.

No, I presented what the AI had to say, for critique. Go ahead and look at the papers it cites, and see if it represented them correctly. Let us know ...

Yep. It does a pretty good job of locating quotes and other supporting information, too.

So you cannot see the difference between "A rule against AI use will not be heeded" and "A rule against AI use cannot be enforced". Ok. @"Baden"? Tell...

I use it in this way, too, but make a point to guard against confabulation by asking for sources and checking them.

With intended irony... Prompt: find peer-reviewed academic studies that show the effectiveness of any capacity to recognise AI generated text. The res...

Do you use a quill?

This is surely a rod for your own back, and the backs of the other mods. Apart form the most obvious cases, you can't tell. “AI-written” stops being a...

I make a point of not reading Leon's posts, but this drew itself to my attention as a direct reply. I've learned that he confabulates the arguments of...

Thanks for providing the prompt. That might be a partial answer, and should be a result of the protocol set out earlier in this thread. called what yo...

You say "If it looks AI generated, we ought investigate and delete as necessary"; the "we" here is you and the other mods. But of course they can't te...

Then I've no followed your argument here: . I took you to be pointing out that the difference between a genuine masterpiece and a forgery - an aesthet...

Treating an AI as authoritative in a debate would be an error. That's not what AI is useful for.

, next, consider this synthesis, from the following prompt: Now that is perhaps something I think we could all work with.

There's trouble there, too.

Ok, but what was the prompt used? That's the topic here. So here is a variant, using much the same prompt re-worded for the "poetic" tradition.

Thanks. Next step is to refine and optimise. I'm with Carnap, too, so let's look for problems therewith. And a follow up: The result.

Yet more grist: AI Generated Content and Academic Journals The discussion is in reference to academic journals, however many of the issues mentioned c...

Let's take that on as an example. Just as is, the reply is: But add "That fool Fred said..." and we get Following the protocol suggested in the Game c...

Good stuff. But first, it seems inevitable that in a thread on the effective use of AI to do philosophy, there will be some need to defend the use of ...

Non of this is well-formed. Might as well write "§??±". Yes, there is. Substitution is extensional. Indeed, that's the very definition of "=". I think...

It also depends on the prompt. Prompt engineering is a "thing", as the kids say. The difference between the response of GPT to my OP, prefixed or not ...

I did it again. The Phatic act of stringing a few words in order performed the illocution of making a post and the subsequent perlocution of your resp...

I elicited your response, thus doing more than arranging words. Which was to be proved.

A scratch? Your arm's off!

Mercutio or the Black knight?

Ok, I'll play a bit longer. What am I to make of this? What is the "identity" of "^" or of "?"? Am i to write "^=^"? In what logic would such a string...

Cheers. Hope it helps. The summary produced is itself open to critique, in the same way that a misrepresentation of some philosopher's position by a h...

Most of that should be in the other thread.
