課程概述

Generated by ChatGPT:
This course explores the use of ChatGPT, a large language model, as a tool for engaging with philosophical questions and problems. Students will learn how to interact with ChatGPT to generate responses to philosophical questions. The course will cover a range of topics in philosophy, including ethics, metaphysics, epistemology, and philosophy of mind.

In this course, students will learn how to formulate questions that can be answered by ChatGPT, how to interpret ChatGPT's responses, and how to critically evaluate the limitations and strengths of using machine learning for philosophical inquiry.

Overall, this course aims to develop students' critical thinking and analytical skills by providing them with a unique opportunity to engage with philosophical questions using cutting-edge technology.

Notes:
Below are the philosophical questions we will go through in this course. What is knowledge? Is knowledge merely justified true belief? Could it be that we are living in Matrix? Are we really justified in believing in the way the world is? Do I have a soul that can be separated from my body? Is my mind just my brain? Is my mind merely something like a computer program? Can there be perfect zombies, which are not distinguishable from normal human beings by their appearance and behavior but somehow have no minds? Does a perfect robot (which is indistinguishable from normal human beings by its appearance and behavior) have a mind? Are we free to make choices? Does the total past and present determine the future? If so, are we free to make choices or to bring about different futures? If not, what’s the point of scientific prediction about the matters like whether it will rain tomorrow? Is it possible to travel back into the past and kill your grandfather before he gave birth to your father? Is it morally wrong to tell a lie to make other people happy when there is no negative consequence in any way? 

課程目標
The goal of this course is to equip students with the following abilities:
(a) To understand the philosophical works and how philosophers ask questions.
(b) To analyze and critically evaluate these philosophical viewpoints with the aid of ChatGPT.
(c) To develop and articulate your own views on the issues.

Course dynamics:
Each student enrolled in this class is expected to adhere to certain requirements. These include completing assigned readings before every class, attending each session, and participating actively in both in-class and group discussions.

The class will be divided into sets, with each set comprising five groups. Each group, in turn, will have only four members.

In the first session of class, each group will use ChatGPT to learn as much as possible about a given topic. This will involve a series of tasks, such as checking ChatGPT's response to the topic, refining questions to obtain more refined answers, critically evaluating ChatGPT's responses, and formulating the group's response, which should differ from ChatGPT's response.

In the second session of class, 2 or 3 randomly selected groups will present to the class, showcasing their interaction with ChatGPT and detailing the tasks they completed in the first session of class. The instructor will evaluate each group's performance and grant an additional point towards the final grade, which may be a positive or negative number.

In the third session of class, the instructor will provide a traditional lecture-style overview of the topic and views.

In addition, there will be four group presentation events, with each set organizing a time and place for their presentation and debate. (So different sets may have different time/place for presentation.) Each group will be required to present their findings (just like what they do in the first session of class) and answer questions or challenges from other groups. Presentations have to be filmed and uploaded to NTUCOOL as proof of completion.
