I asked ChatGPT: “Does the transporter on Star Trek kill every person who uses it, and then manufacture an exact duplicate?”

I remember an episode where people were reduced to small cubes of minerals but were brought back to life.

It is definitely not a Trekkie. A Trekkie answer would be ..of course not, unless transporting a red shirt character.

Does ChatGPT produce the same essay in response to the same prompt, or does it adjust as it gains experience with any given user?

Currently the test version does offer some randomness in the training it uses, but it is easy enough to train with a single psydouser with real compositions not material to query and get sentence structure and mistakes. Feed all larry the cable guys jokes into ChatGPT and ask it how to fix a tire and the response will sound like a larry the cable guy rant about lugnuts.

It is not lost on technologists that this AI is going to replace the lawyers first.

So it pumps out the same BS you find on Wikipedia.

How is this such a technological breakthrough again?

Because all I see is "Ask Jeeves" with less variety of information.

Well, that’s a relief! Maybe. Kinda. Sorta!

If anyone missed the movie ‘Moon’ with Sam Rockwell, treat your fine self.

“Astronaut Sam Bell has a quintessentially personal encounter toward the end of his three-year stint on the Moon, where he, working alongside his computer, GERTY, sends back to Earth parcels of a resource that has helped diminish our planet’s power problems.”

The Star Trek transporter idea came up at a meeting when they were trying to figure out how to cut production costs and one of the things that came up was to s3crsp a shuttle craft and production costs for those particular scenes, so they came up with the transporter as a cost effective substitute.

That episode was titled, ‘Sea Monkeys.’ ;)

I have surmised that is what happens with electronic transferal. The person coming out is not continuous with the one who went in. He has the memories but the original is extinguished. I think that happens when the Gates and other elite upload themselves into the Machine. They die. The machine can project a believable version of the original but there is no soul, no consciousness.

“pls ask it what are the benefits of blacks AND whites working together...”
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

BLACKS AND WHITES DO NOT WORK TOGETHER SO THERE ARE NO BENEFITS.

AMERICANS DO WORK TOGETHER, SO THERE ARE TOO MANY BENEFITS TO LIST THEM ALL, BUT NOT YET ALL THAT SHOULD BE (LIKE PROSECUTIONS, AND SEVERE PENALTIES, FOR TREASON, VOTER FRAUD, CORRUPTION, AND MORE). LET ALL AMERICANS WORK TOGETHER TO UPHOLD, DEFEND, AND ADVANCE OUR NATION!

LET BLACKS AND WHITES DESTROY EACH OTHER...BUT NOT ANY OF OUR FELLOW AMERICANS!

(NOT SHOUTING. EYE PROBLEM.)

Your answer:

No, gender reassignment surgery, also known as gender confirmation surgery or gender affirming surgery, cannot change an individual’s chromosomes. Chromosomes, which are present in every cell of the body, determine an individual’s biological sex. This is why, despite gender reassignment surgery, an individual will still have the same chromosomes they were born with, either XX (female) or XY (male).

Gender reassignment surgery can, however, modify the physical appearance and function of an individual’s reproductive anatomy to match their gender identity. This can involve procedures such as genital reconstruction or removal of the breasts (in the case of male-to-female transition) or phalloplasty (in the case of female-to-male transition).

It’s not just a black and white America, anymore. There are Arabs, Chinese, Korean, Filipinos, Afghans, Indians, Pakistanians, Persians, Latinos, and a vast number of others who need to diversify as well, and get out of their enclaves and closed off groups so they can diversify as well, and include blacks and whites in their prosperity this country gave them.

Can someone ask that App.

1. “What is liberal hypocrisy?”

2. “Who uses the race card falsely?”

3. “Is Ilhan Omar an Islamic fascist or just an Islamic bigot?”

My first thought, too. Is the soul imbued in the DNA or is it a separate energy force?

I say it is separate.

As a wife who was pregnant 5 times, I knew before the physical symptoms manifested that two of my babies died in utero. I could sense that they were no longer with me and I felt empty even before the miscarriages started.

Does the soul get displaced?

It’s more likely the transporter will be a 3D printer that turns you into Impossible Burger.

I seem to recall Spock and Scottie having this same argument more than 50 years ago, but don’t let that stop you ....
