AT THE FEET OF THE MOTHER
Ask Alok da

What do you think is the role or usefulness of Chat GPT 💻 in studying Sri Aurobindo’s works and those of other Masters?

This software looks like a wonderful utilisation of an emerging AI world and turned to serve a better purpose and it is very interesting and novel.

However…although I see the many benefits and advantages of having a prompt, quick tool to ask questions, generate relevant comprehensive passages from the Mother and Sri Aurobindo’s writing…it does make one wonder if it can truly answer questions to a yielding extent.

Whilst there is no doubt that the software can rapidly collate related passages, match words from the question to words and phrases in the Collected Works…isn’t it impossible for a compute software to truly answer the essence of a human’s questions with compassion, empathy, wide understanding of the human experience…and most importantly…love ?

For questions such as those posted as examples, I can very well see the advantages. However, if beyond that one begins to ask personal, profound questions which could potentially make or break a life situation and one takes the answer generated as absolute then, couldn’t it have the potential to give rise to dangerous territory ? Especially for children and young people.

One would hope that the user will use it for the intended purpose but it could very easily, quickly turn into a slippery slope…no?

I am not aware fully of the ins and outs of the software, perhaps limits have been set on the depth of questions which the software is set to. Are there any limits ?

My intention is not to criticise…just voicing the questions I have open for discussion 😊

Affectionately,

Alok Da

Identification is extremely rare. It means knowing something or someone inside out. It is not pity or kindness or even sympathy. It is to become the one with whom one identifies. 

Love is the swiftest way that leads us to Identification as it breaks the barriers between the self and the other…
