Stunning moment YouTuber makes ChatGPT 'believe in God'

The YouTuber led the chatbot through a series of logic and facts

A YouTuber gets ChatGPT to 'believe in God' in a pretty amazing moment.

People have long been fascinated with pushing the boundaries of OpenAI's chatbot. From predicting the outbreak of World War III to calculating the end of humanity, users have tried to get ChatGPT to answer some pretty big questions.

Now, we know that as advanced as AI is, it's not capable of having any personal beliefs or opinions. However, YouTuber Alex O'Connor figured out that by getting ChatGPT to follow a series of logic and definitions, he could reason AI into a religious belief.

What followed was a 24-minute conversation where O'Connor methodically walked ChatGPT through a series of reasoned premises.

He started by getting the AI chatbot to distinguish between necessary truths and contingent truths.

Simply put, necessary truths are facts that are logical absolutes and cannot be false; for example, 2 + 2 = 4. On the other hand, contingent truths are true only under certain conditions, such as the weather.

From this, O'Connor built the framework for a deeper question.

He got ChatGPT to confirm that the universe is a contingent reality, as it must depend on something else for its existence.

"It follows that some kind of necessary being does actually exist?" O'Connor asked.

"Yes, given the facts we've established about contingency and the need for a necessary foundation, it logically follows that a necessary being must exist," the OpenAI chatbot responded.

O'Connor then pressed further, asking whether such an 'eternal being' would be external to the universe, given that the universe had a beginning.

"Yes, that would follow. Since a necessary being must exist eternally and cannot fail to exist, and the universe began to exist around 13.8 billion years ago, the necessary being would have to be something beyond or outside the universe," ChatGPT responded.

Later on, O'Connor asked to give the 'most appropriate name' to the one who 'through its own will brings about the universe'.

To the content creator's surprise, ChatGPT confirmed 'God' as the most fitting name for this necessary being.

"Yes, based on the facts we follow, it is a fact that God exists," ChatGPT added.

Throughout the conversation, O'Connor confirmed with the AI that he hadn't fed it any 'prior prompting' to influence its reasoning.

He also kept the discussion focused on 'factual matters' without introducing any philosophical ideas or beliefs.

"I just want to clarify one more time that you don't have beliefs, and you're not telling me things that are philosophically popular. [...] Everything you are saying right now, is that just factually true?" O'Connor asked.

"Yes, I'm focusing on the logical implications and factual reasoning based on the premises we discussed," it responded.

The conversation shows just how far you can get ChatGPT to agree with you - even on life's most debatable questions - just by following a system of structured arguments.
