Its outputs are statistical predictions, not ethical judgments.It can simulate compassion or guidance by echoing texts labeled “moral,” but there’s no inner conviction.Hallucinations and bias reinforce that it follows syntax, not statutes of right conduct.Any “moral” answer is a function of prompt engineering and dataset curation, not conscience.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/conspiracy-theories-exploring-the-unseen--5194379/support.
