Shame, guilt and artificial intelligence

Recently, the company OpenAI launched the chatbot ChatGPT - which is a so-called Large Language Model (LLM) based on the artificial intelligence platform GPT-3. Due to ChatGPT's amazing conversational abilities it has attracted massive attention and people are already using it in very creative ways.

To begin with I used it to translate Greek and Latin - which it is very, very good at. It doesn't just translate very well but you can have a conversation with it about possible translations of a passage of text.

In my opinion, it is very obvious that using ChatGPT to discuss ancient ethics is a great way to use it for personal growth.
