A computer will do only what it is programmed to do. Don’t be surprised at the responses that you got for your questions. AI is the greatest deception unleashed. Beware!

LOL. Yeppers. You can see the limited regurgitation. But, when cornered it actually capitulates. Quite fascinating!

there is another we use here called 'perplexity' and it is easily perplexed with these kind of questions. Like any computer program "shit in - shit out".

We have many discussion in our assemblies about these matters of legal interpretation, and I agree that unless a statute specifically states or includes something then it is not a part of said statute. It also has an important effect on the company claim to an area or land, eg "Australia is the land mass ......... and includes Norfolk Island, Christmas Island and Cocos Keeling Islands." That would mean only those islands. Those islands were claimed via Terra Nullius as they were unclaimed at the time, whereas the continent was inhabited and claimed, despite their efforts to remove said claimants.

in some NZ Acts it is said "New Zealand includes the Ross Dependency." Which is interesting in itself but also, each new PM visits the Ross Dependency (Antarctica).

In preparation for the situation we are all now in, NZ created an Act called the "Epidemic Preparedness Act 2006" in which it is stated in section 24 "Judges may modify rules of court during epidemic: Judge modifications in particular cases". So then the questions are;

Does a declared epidemic end? How will we know which rules are modified? Is the modified rule temporarily or permanently modified? Can an appeal be mounted against such modification?

Yes. It is limited to the content available for it to access and the programmed tendency for the response to be non-committal. However, i am finding that cornering it through logic word use and definitions, you end up at the true answer. But you need to feed it the stuff it does not have in its immediate data set.

I will be posting another follow up tomorrow. It will be quite fascinating. I intentionally walked the AI through a logical succession until it verifies the actual condition of the fictitious corporate government world and the irrelevance of the laws and amendments (if you understand some basic concepts). It is great material for an independent proof. But, more importantly, for those who have a hard time wrapping their head around statutes and contracts, it will serve as a rendering down to the basic fact of the deception. One we all agreed to in a large extent. Very cool stuff regardless.

That was fun to watch. Clif High has done experiments to successfully corner ChatGPT on it's tendency to deliver 'woke' answers. One vehicle he used was to discuss scenarios as a work of fiction thereby entering 'facts' as narrative to counter the AI's obviously programmed in narrative. Not suggesting that that would be a tactic for this type of analysis, I mention it as a parallel struggle to get an honest answer.

Indeed!
