[Fis] What did the OpenAI answer ...

Tue Feb 21 05:50:27 CET 2023

Great conversation!
I was very interested in the questions.
And the answers... We have a nursery rhyme:
"if you can guess
what will the parrot tell us?
That's what he'll say, I guess
that hammered a parrot."
It seems to me that "information" cannot be fully defined without defining
the reader. Just as in physical problems they forget about the necessary
"let's create initial conditions", so "information" does not exist without
the knowledge of which language system can interpret it, extract meaning.
These three concepts: "language", "text", "meaning" must be defined
together.
And then there is no problem with God - a System that owns a maximum of
language systems :)))
