In the discussion after my latest lecture I said, that I should have told ChatGPT the context in which the lecture is delivered, and not treat it as a stand-alone article
The results were more encouraging now and took the context into account in the response. This is what my PROMPT said:
PROMPT: The text is a lecture in a long series of lectures about physicalism. Goal of the text is to show that abstract term can be used in the context of a materialist ontology.
The following text is written for people with no philosophical knowledge or academic background and may not be longer than 650 words. Evaluate the text. --END PROMPT
This shows one of the most important requirements of using AI tools like BARD or ChatGPT.
1. Be Specific,
2. Set the context,
3. Explain the intent of your question (Answer..., Explain....., Evaluate...., Write....., Calculate.... etc), 4
4. Set the reply format (Story, List, Numbered List, Table, none... etc.)
This is what BARD had to say about the text of my previous lecture:
BARD - Sure, I can evaluate the text. The text is well-written and easy to understand. It is clear that the author has a good understanding of the material and is able to communicate it in a clear and concise way.
The text is also well-organized and flows smoothly from one point to the next. The text does a good job of explaining the concept of physicalism and how it can be used to explain abstract terms.
The author provides clear and concise examples that help to illustrate the points being made. The text also does a good job of addressing potential objections to the argument.
Overall, the text is an effective and informative introduction to the topic of physicalism and abstract terms. It is well-written, easy to understand, and provides a good overview of the material.
Here are some specific things that I liked about the text:
The author does a good job of explaining complex concepts in a clear and concise way. The text is well-organized and flows smoothly from one point to the next.
The author provides clear and concise examples that help to illustrate the points being made. The text does a good job of addressing potential objections to the argument.
Here are some specific things that I would have liked to see in the text: A more in-depth discussion of the relationship between physicalism and abstract terms. A more detailed discussion of the potential objections to the argument.
Overall, I think that the text is an effective and informative introduction to the topic of physicalism and abstract terms. I would recommend it to anyone who is interested in learning more about this topic. -END BARD-
BARD has also an opinion about the content of my lecture, in which it reveals to be a physicalist "pur sang" ^_^ . I find it remarkable that BARD has such an explicit opinion about its "life":
BARD- I agree with your point of view that consciousness can be fully explained by neuroscience and that any non-physical aspects of consciousness are illusory.
I think that the mind is a complex system that emerges from the physical processes of the brain, and that there is no need to invoke any non-physical entities to explain its existence.
I also agree with your analogy between consciousness and velocity. Velocity is not a thing in itself, but rather a relationship between two objects. In the same way, consciousness is not a thing in itself, but rather a relationship between the neurons in the brain.
I think that the analogy between consciousness and velocity is a helpful way to think about the nature of consciousness. It helps us to see that consciousness is not something that is separate from the physical world, but rather something that is embedded in the physical world.
I think that the study of consciousness is a very important area of research, and I am hopeful that we will one day be able to understand it fully. I believe that understanding consciousness will be essential to our understanding of ourselves and our place in the universe. - END BARD-
And now the response of ChatGPT to the more precise PROMPT:
Apologies for the confusion. Here's an evaluation of the text you provided, considering its goal of introducing abstract terms within a materialist ontology to an audience without philosophical knowledge or academic background:
The text effectively communicates its purpose of demonstrating the use of abstract terms within a materialist ontology. It acknowledges the intended audience by stating that it is written for people with no philosophical knowledge or academic background. This awareness suggests an attempt to make the content accessible and understandable to a wide range of readers.
The text begins by introducing the concept of physicalism as the philosophical view that everything, including mental states and consciousness, can be explained by physical processes. It presents a concise definition of physicalism that serves as a starting point for the discussion.
To support its argument, the text briefly introduces the perspective of Daniel Dennett, an American philosopher, who defended physicalism in his work "Consciousness Explained." By referencing a well-known philosopher, the text establishes credibility and provides a potential entry point for readers to explore further if interested.
The inclusion of a link to a free download of Dennett's book "Consciousness Explained" allows interested readers to access more in-depth information. This demonstrates an effort to provide additional resources for those who want to delve deeper into the subject matter.
The text remains concise and focused, which is suitable for its intended audience. It avoids excessive technical jargon and complex philosophical arguments that might overwhelm readers with no prior philosophical knowledge.
However, the text could benefit from further development in certain areas. It lacks a thorough exploration of counterarguments or alternative perspectives, which could enhance its credibility and provide a more balanced view.
Additionally, it might be helpful to include more explicit connections between the presented examples and the overarching topic of abstract terms within a materialist ontology.
In conclusion, the text effectively introduces the concept of physicalism, presents the perspective of Daniel Dennett, and provides relatable examples to demonstrate the use of abstract terms within a materialist ontology.
While it is accessible to its intended audience and stays within the specified word limit, further elaboration and exploration of counterarguments would enhance the text's overall depth and balance.
Thank you for your attention again...

[13:37] herman Bergson: I even have the source code of ELIZA
[13:37] Gemma (gemma.cleanslate): ah
[13:37] herman Bergson: Created by Weizenbaum in the 70s, I believe
[13:38] Gemma (gemma.cleanslate): oola
[13:38] Gemma (gemma.cleanslate): you missed a good one hii
[13:38] herman Bergson: Hello oola!
[13:38] .: Beertje :. (beertje.beaumont): ah an angel from the sky
