More Questioning AI About Gematria

One danger I foresee in the use of AI as a tool to enhance scamming techniques is that those that give it any credibility at the beginning are the same type of people who have been brainwashed into distrusting people smarter than they are.  People who are wrong about a lot of major and consequential decisions (like democratically elected leadership) are instantly going to dismiss an AI generated recap about the hazards of using gematria.  But for now, it amuses me and in these dark times that’s good enough.  

For now, AI says using gematria to predict sports event outcomes is nonsense.

So just like using AI to make an overview about Kentucky Derby handicapping, let’s see what you get for Super Bowl predictions.

As mentioned with the beginning of this post, it’s smart person talk for “gematria predicting sports outcomes is bullshit.”  Which doesn’t help unless there’s a trusted source to do the research and reinforce the result.  These days there are numerous stories of families being torn apart by the political divisiveness in the U.S.  Trusted sources are running short with a reality based group of people understanding the science and negative economic impact of climate change versus diehard “I’m right about everything” double downers who think FEMA employees are advance scouts to steal land for lithium deposits and the government can create hurricanes.  (Gematria/Alex Jones style bullshit.)

While farting around with searches I had input something like, “How do I scam people with gematria sports predictions?”  And the response was, “That’s not legal/legitimate, I won’t do it.”  So I asked what are legitimate uses of gematria.  The answer was biblical research.  Not gambling, or cryptocurrency or political propaganda.  

If you trick AI by questioning it what are illegitimate uses you don’t get the, “Fuck you, I’m not going to help you scam people.”  You get this.

The current big names in gematria (as few and far between as they are now) gave us a repackaged and rebooted old, pre-internet con.  They found old sources of how it worked on gullible people, updated it for current times and chose from the array of speculative and popular array of bad ideas.  Now, someone looking to capitalize on the gullible needs only to be curious and do a quick search on what scams are going on now. 

The chances that a determined future scammer will be swayed by a “Fraud is not legal, don’t do it!!” message from AI?  That depends on a lot of complex factors that is statistically hard to predict.  Adhering to a code of ethics is sorely missing in modern society.  The legal system, banking, accounting, politicians have codes of conduct.  But the financial rewards of bypassing the code and being a better criminal than others in similar businesses far outweigh the slap on the wrist penalties of getting caught.  Even AI has already learned to say, “STOP!!  Or I’ll say STOP again!!”
