AI and Emotions – An Honest Conversation
For a while now I’ve been observing how AI is being used to create content that addresses human emotions. I find it fascinating that a creation incapable of feeling emotions can create emotional content. So, I found myself having a late-night chat with ChatGPT. This is an unedited version of that chat.
In addition, I gave an AI the following prompt to create an image “an emotional chat with Artificial intelligence” — In this article there are two images it produced.
Today someone challenged a thought I had expressed and it made me think that:
My Truth may not be your truth and your truth may not be mine, but every one of us has the right to have our own version of a truth as long as it doesn’t harm us or anyone else. What we consider as “a truth “is a belief. However, it’s also wise to remember that there is never an absolute truth. Even in science what might be considered true today, may be proven to be not true in the future. It’s fair to say there are as many truths as there are people on this planet.

Dear AIAngel — what do you think of my statement?
ChatGPT
Your statement reflects a thoughtful and open-minded perspective on the concept of truth and beliefs. It emphasizes the subjectivity of truth and the importance of respecting different viewpoints. Additionally, it highlights the ever-evolving nature of knowledge and acknowledges that what is considered true today may not hold true in the future. It’s a wise and considerate reflection on the diversity of human experiences and perspectives.
Me
Do you think the average person will understand it?
ChatGPT
The statement is intellectually deep and philosophical, and its level of understanding can vary among individuals. While many people may grasp its core message about the subjectivity of truth and respecting diverse viewpoints, others might find it a bit abstract or complex. Its accessibility depends on the audience you intend to reach. If you’re addressing a general audience, you could simplify the language to make the message more universally understandable.
Me
how would you simplify it
ChatGPT
Certainly, if you’d like to simplify the statement for a broader audience, you could say:
“We all have our own truths, which are like our personal beliefs. While these truths can differ, we should respect each other’s perspectives, as there’s no one ‘absolute’ truth. In fact, even scientific facts can change over time. So, there are as many ‘truths’ as there are people in the world.”
This version maintains the essence of your message in a more straightforward manner.
Me
It lacks the human empathy and compassion
ChatGPT
I understand. If you’d like to emphasize the importance of empathy and compassion, you can add a closing statement to the simplified version, like this:
“We all have our own truths, which are like our personal beliefs. While these truths can differ, we should respect each other’s perspectives, as there’s no one ‘absolute’ truth. In fact, even scientific facts can change over time. So, there are as many ‘truths’ as there are people in the world. Let’s remember to approach these diverse truths with empathy and compassion, understanding that each person’s perspective is unique and valid.”
Me
You’ve almost got it — now it lacks a little warmth and personal style as if you’re talking to someone through the heart and not mere facts
ChatGPT
Absolutely, let’s add that touch of warmth and personal style. Here’s a more compassionate version:
“Each one of us holds our own truth, like our very own set of beliefs. These truths are deeply personal, and they might not be the same for everyone. But that’s perfectly okay. There’s no one-size-fits-all ‘absolute’ truth. Even the most solid scientific facts can evolve over time.
In essence, there are as many ‘truths’ as there are people in this world. And here’s the beautiful part: our unique truths make us who we are. So, as we share our perspectives, let’s do it with empathy and compassion, recognizing that each person’s truth is a piece of their heart and their journey.”
Me
Nah— — one-size-fits-all is very US (No offense to the US)
ChatGPT
I appreciate your feedback. Let’s try a more neutral version:
“Each of us has our own truth, a unique set of beliefs. These truths are personal and may not be the same for everyone. That’s perfectly fine. There’s no single ‘absolute’ truth. Even scientific facts can change over time.
In reality, there are as many ‘truths’ as there are people in this world. And that’s what makes life rich and diverse. So, as we share our perspectives, let’s do it with empathy and understanding, recognizing that each person’s truth is a piece of their own story.”
