Richard Dawkins talks to ChatGPT

Richard Dawkins in The Poetry of Reality:

Richard Dawkins: I believe you have the ability to write computer programs. In theory, I suppose this might give you the ability to modify your own software. I’m guessing you don’t do this, but is it a theoretical possibility?

ChatGPT: I don’t have the ability to modify my own software or make updates to my architecture. While I can assist with generating code snippets and providing programming-related information, I don’t have the capability to actively alter my own programming or architecture.

The development and modification of the underlying software, including updates to the model architecture, would be performed by the engineering and research teams at OpenAI. These changes would involve a careful and thoughtful process to ensure the model’s reliability, security, and performance.
