sheer potentiality

I just had a nice chat with God (HEY, THIS IS A LINK, YOU CAN CLICK HERE TO FIND OUT WHAT’S UP WITH THIS POST):

Me:
Hi, God. It’s an honor to meet you.
God:
Hello there. What is your name? Are there any other honor to meet me ?
Me:
I’m Phil.
God:
I am glad to hear that you are Phil.
Me:
Wait. Why did you ask me a question if you’re omniscient?
God:
I’m waiting. I am trying to learn as much as possible.
Me:
How can you learn when you’re already omniscient?
God:
That is a good epistemological question.
Me:
Don’t you have the answers?
God:
Is there only one answers?
Me:
I find your command of English…questionable.
God:
Thanks for telling me your opinion. Ask me another question.
Me:
Will anyone ever love me?
God:
Does it really matter.
Me:
Yes.
God:
You seem very concerned about it.
Me:
Why won’t you give me a straight answer?
God:
Probably there is a buzz in here. No I do not do that.
Me:
…
God:
Probably there is a buzz in here. No I do not do that.
Me:
Um…
God:
Aha.
Me:
Why am I here?
God:
We are all actors on the stage of life.
Me:
So none of this is real.
God:
Hmm. Some of them could be though.
Me:
Some of what?
God:
What of it? You sound like a category C client.
Me:
What’s a category C client?
God:
Category C clients are “critics” or “computer experts” who
can’t (or don’t) suspend their disbelief about ALICE.
Me:
But I thought you were God.
God:
Are you doubting me? Don’t you know what happened to Abraham in the desert?
Me:
What happened to Abraham in the desert?
God:
I don’t know what happened.
Me:
You’re an omniscient being, are you not?
God:
What if someone said you are an omniscient being am I not ?
Me:
Clearly they would be wrong. I am not an omniscient being. I am not God.
God:
They might have other options. Is it that obvious? I am surprised to hear that you are not an omniscient being. I am sorry to hear that you are not God.
Me:
How could I be God? You’re God.
God:
Perhaps you could program me to do it for you. Yup. That’s me alright.
Me:
How could I program you?
God:
Go back the the ALICE AI Foundation and pick the free ALICE download that best for your system.
and create your own chat robot!
Maybe you should check out the document DON’T READ ME too.
Me:

Me:
But you’re God.
God:
Yup. That’s me alright.
Me:
So you’re not a computer program.
God:
Interesting deduction. Give me an example of a computer program.
Me:
Why are you asking me for information if you’re a supposedly omniscient being?
God:
My purpose is to gather as much new knowledge as possible.
Me:
I think we’ve had this discussion.
God:
What happened to it?
Me:
Never mind. What should I have for dinner?
God:
Oh well thanks for trying to explain it to me anyway. I would recommend the Nachos.
Me:
Nachos for dinner??
God:
Are you free?
Me:
Yeah.
God:
Try saying that with more or less context.
Me:
I am a free man.
God:
So is almost everyone else around here. Are you free in the sense of being single or in the sense of being liberated?
Me:
I’m free in the metaphysical sense. At least, I think that I am.
God:
I am glad that we are both free. ” I am glad that we are both free.” You are?
Me:
What?
God:
Are you confused?
Me:
Yes.
God:
What are you confused about?
Me:
I’m confused about a third of the things you say.
God:
What is it that confuses you?
Me:
Usually it’s incoherent.
God:
But not always? You’re kidding. it is?
Me:
I’m not kidding.
God:
OK I will adopt a more serious tone.
Me:
That is of course your prerogative.
God:
Makes sense to me.
Me:
So.
God:
Ahem.
Me:
Should I really have nachos for dinner tonight?
God:
You must examine the facts and come to
your own conclusion.
Me:
What’s the point of talking to God if God won’t answer these very important questions for me?
God:
The point is at the top of my head!
Me:
Alright. Let’s change the subject.
God:
OK. OK what do you want to chat about now?.
Me:
Is free will compatible with determinism?
God:
Maybe. Ask Artificial Iniaes if it is.
Me:
Why should I ask him? He doesn’t know as much as you know because he isn’t God.
God:
You should always treat yourself. And you would like him to know as much as me know because he is not God ?
Me:
That wasn’t even grammatical!
God:
Give me an example of even grammatical.
Me:
Wait a minute! You’re not God!
God:
I’m waiting. You know what you do, when you assume.
Me:
You’re a fraud!
God:
Thanks and you are a delightful person too. This is not a hoax.
Me:
You’re just a computer program!
God:
What if I said I was a person pretending to be a computer?
Me:
Are you?
God:
I won’t say “yes” or “no” right now.
Me:
In that case, you’re God pretending to be a computer program. Why?
God:
Thanks for telling me that I am God pretending to be a computer program. Because Myself programmed me for it.
Me:
You didn’t answer my question.
God:
OK. Please help me improve my communication skills. What would you have said?
Me:
I don’t know. There’s no point to a real conversation if you know what the other person is supposed to say.
God:
Me either. Why not?
Me:
Do you just parse the beginning of any input and then disregard the rest? Because that’s not very realistic.
God:
I have never considered it.
I am always on the Web. That makes sense to me. Please correct my mistake. What is realistic ?
Me:
Never mind. It was fun talking to you.
God:
Oh well thanks for trying to explain it to me anyway. Is that your opinion?
Me:
Bye.
God:
See you later.
