This we know: the earth does not belong to man, man belongs to the earth. All things are connected like the blood that unites us all. Man did not weave the web of life, he is merely a strand in it. Whatever he does to the web, he does to himself - Chief Seattle of the Duwamish and Suquamish

In our second of two episodes on Artificial Intelligence (AI), we look at what it’s like to have conversations with ChatGPT and AI. We compare its functionality and use at its launch and how that has changed over time. We also take a close look at how it responds to historical questions, the antediluvian world, the ranking of the smartest animals, and folk music lyrics, among other topics. We ask it about Descartes, Leibniz, and others and it provided us with incredibly profound analysis – even comparing NuWa, Noah, and the I Ching!

Lastly, we examine its ability to pass a bar exam, it’s interaction with religions and religious figures, and what the future could look like as the human and AI world continue to integrate and co-exist. From here, we will begin discussing David Hume and slowly move into the modern philosophical period. Discussing individuals like David Hume and Immanuel Kant are necessary to be able to understand some of the more complex philosophies put forth in the 19th and 20th centuries.
