I tried to do that. I gave it the URL of two cold fusion papers at
LENR-CANR.org and said "summarize this paper." It was completely wrong!
Title, authors, content . . . I do not know why, but it was a completely
bonkers hallucination. I gave it the first several paragraphs of a paper
and asked for a summary. It basically gave me all of the paragraphs back,
rewritten, not summarized.

I have had better experiences with other content.

I asked it two questions about Arthur Clarke's book, "Profiles of the
Future." It got the first one right, but the second answer was a
hallucination.

2023-04-07 Thread Stefan Israelsson Tampe
I saw a few posts about chtgpt an for someone that search for someone to
discuss topics where the expert is too busy to find or where the community
would roll their eyes at the question and drag you into the dirt chtgpt is
fantastic. If this bot is not wokefied into boring mess I think it will
help humanity in its current form, it's just extremely knowledgeable an
very polite. Below is my discussion about super determinism I do have a
paper about this topic in a preprint server but was not able to comment on
it. If that was possible I bet the quality of the papers by non academics
would go up significantly.

Can you analyze a paper at a preprint server

Yes, I can help analyze a preprint paper, but please keep in mind that my
knowledge is limited to what I have been trained on, and that extends only
up to September 2021. If the preprint paper you'd like me to analyze was
published after that, I might not be able to provide the most up-to-date
context, references, or related work. Additionally, I am an AI language
model and not an expert in every field, so my analysis might not be as
accurate or deep as a human expert's.

Please provide the title, abstract, and a link to the paper, and I will do
my best to provide a brief analysis.





Do you know of any examples of a superdeterministic model

Superdeterminism is a concept in quantum mechanics that suggests that all
events and outcomes are completely predetermined, including the choices
made by experimenters. This idea aims to solve the apparent conflict
between local realism and the predictions of quantum mechanics, most
notably illustrated by the violation of Bell inequalities.

Superdeterministic models are quite controversial and not widely accepted
among physicists, mainly because they seem to undermine the scientific
method by assuming that everything, including the actions of researchers,
is predetermined. As a result, there are very few examples of such models
in the literature.

One of the most notable proponents of superdeterminism is Gerard 't Hooft,
a Nobel Prize-winning physicist. He has proposed various ideas related to
superdeterminism and cellular automata as a possible route to achieving a
deterministic underlying theory for quantum mechanics. Some of his work on
this topic can be found in the following papers:

G. 't Hooft, "The Cellular Automaton Interpretation of Quantum Mechanics,"
arXiv:1405.1548 [quant-ph], 2014. (Link: https://arxiv.org/abs/1405.1548)
G. 't Hooft, "Free will in the theory of everything," arXiv:1709.02874
[quant-ph], 2017. (Link: https://arxiv.org/abs/1709.02874)
However, it is important to note that superdeterministic models are far
from mainstream, and many physicists find them unconvincing or unpalatable.
Most researchers continue to explore other interpretations of quantum
mechanics, such as the Copenhagen interpretation, many-worlds
interpretation, and pilot-wave theory (also known as de Broglie-Bohm
theory), among others.





Why is it controversial predetermined models can be chaotic and really
simulate a non pre determined model to all realistic accuracies, you would
not be able in a macroscopic world to tell the difference

You raise an interesting point, and indeed, it is possible for
deterministic models to exhibit chaotic behavior that can, to a certain
extent, appear indistinguishable from non-deterministic systems. However,
the controversy surrounding superdeterminism primarily stems from a few
other issues:

Scientific freedom and the scientific method: Superdeterministic models
imply that not only are the outcomes of experiments predetermined, but also
the choices made by researchers, such as which experiments to conduct and
which settings to use. This undermines the idea of scientific freedom, as
it suggests that researchers are not genuinely free to make choices in
their investigations. Furthermore, this notion challenges the very basis of
the scientific method, as it becomes impossible to establish genuine
correlations and causations if everything is predetermined.

Conspiracy: In the context of quantum mechanics, superdeterminism is often
considered a "conspiracy" because it implies that there is a hidden
mechanism that predetermines the outcomes of experiments in such a way as
to make it appear that quantum mechanics is fundamentally
non-deterministic. Many physicists find this idea implausible, as it would
require a level of coordination between particles and experimental settings
that seems highly unlikely.

Lack of explanatory power: Superdeterministic models do not provide
additional explanatory power or predictive capabilities compared to other
interpretations of quantum mechanics. In fact, they may make the situation
more complicated by introducing the n
