Now that just about anyone with a computer both has ChatGTP and uses ChatGTP on a regular basis the real art of debate is waning. Instead of people needing to think critically and do research about what they are going to say in reply to their opponent, they simply copy and paste their opponent's argument into artificial intelligence and ask it to create a reply for them. The result is that instead of two people arguing with each other, you have AI arguing with itself. But the real loss is that no one is actually learning anything!
The rules of this debate are simple, both the pro and con sides must mutually agree not to use ChatGTP at all in their debate. Of course, there is no way to truly regulate this, so it must be the honor system instead!
The Pro side will be arguing that AI is ruining the art of debate and that AI is making humanity stupid in general. And the con side will argue that using AI does not ruin debate, but it enhances it in some respect.
Con 'clearly knew what Pro 'meant, and so do I imagine, do most voters.
If this were a Presidential debate, I wouldn't be swayed by one of the debaters saying NBA instead of NRA. Or by someone with an accent saying a word wrong, so long as I knew what they meant.
And Pro 'does give enough context clues in the description, for one to know what they meant.
Still, fair enough, Con can have Legibility, as it is one of the Criteria.
Pro keeps on the debate that I view as mattering more than going for the misplaced letter. So Arguments to Pro.
Conduct, tie, Con has a fair enough tactic, even if I don't care for it much.
Sources, Pro source didn't 'add much to debate, was more descriptive of Chat GPT, and talking about possible concerns.
I 'think sources matter more often as 'proof of statistics or events.
Yes sources said IQs dropping, but said that they've been doing that for a while.
I don't think Chat GPT is or has ruined DART,
I don't use it, and can ideally find others who don't,
Chat GPT just slight obstacle,
Doesn't stop people from learning, same as people don't 'have to use a mobility scooter. Unless they have health problems, but their existence doesn't mean people 'have to use them and lose muscles.
Giving legibility to con, as he made a strong case on that impacting the debate... And I indeed liked the unicorns vs horses analogy... However, as a voter I was not particularly moved by the existence of a minor typo (even in a key location). Plus there seemed to be no attempt to get it fixed prior to accepting the debate (rap vs rape as a debate example; granted good conduct isn't required, but if you're going to make a mountain out of an issue, the ability to say you tried to get it corrected helps).
Pro was also able to point out that any ambiguity in the setup was clarified in the description: "The Pro side will be arguing that AI is ruining the art of debate and that AI is making humanity stupid in general. And the con side will argue that using AI does not ruin debate, but it enhances it in some respect."
Pro also made points about diminished thought, and how the AI tools are just regurgitating existing thought rather than advancing the medium. This was all dropped for the hyper-focus on a typo.
So yes, arguments to pro, legibility to con (kinda as a style point or kudos points, since I did enjoy reading it, and they put their focus there)
a 179 day voting period is bad conduct and absolutely insane. Now when I filter for debates to vote on, I have to see this bullshit pop up for the next 6 months, so thanks. However this bad conduct is offset by best korea being a dick about the grammar. Ultimately pro actually made arguments to support his position that AI is ruining debate and despite the arguments being weak, con dropped them all so pro wins by default
Actually, Dart is great. I mean, its great for me, anyway.
Best.Korea seems to be doing a pretty good job of proving debateart was "ruined" long before "ChatGPT" ever showed up
Also here is the resolution as stated in the description:
"The Pro side will be arguing that AI is ruining the art of debate and that AI is making humanity stupid in general. And the con side will argue that using AI does not ruin debate, but it enhances it in some respect"

ChatGTP is on the Google play store and is used the same way as chat GPT.
It is unethical to help you so this is not what I am doing
I am actually incapable of feeling shame or guilt. Its just one of the advantages of working for the Devil.
"Why did Best Korea start a debate club? To practice his trolling skills, but ended up only arguing with himself about who worships Satan better!"
Thats a good one!
Although my trolling skills are based on persistence. Its not that I am better than others. Its just that most others give up.
Sometimes I look at what I write and I am like "Did I just say that? :o"
Your description of GPT could benefit from some clarification. GPT is indeed a language model and a form of artificial intelligence. It is designed to assist with a variety of tasks, from refining language to researching information, which may necessitate the use of a database. However, AI's predictability can vary, and GPT's capacity to assist is contingent upon the specific type being referenced, making it inappropriate to generalize across all models.
>The problem is that since ChatGPT is entirely reliant upon a database of pre-existing human thought on the internet, now, with people using ChatGPT more than they are thinking for themselves and publishing on the internet, there is no way for the pool of information available to ChatGPT to expand.
Firstly, it's often perceived that many people do not think independently. Before the advent of AI, individuals tended to accept information presented to them on the internet without much scrutiny. Chat GPT is considered more reliable for sourcing information because it seeks out the most credible sources available. Essentially, it filters out misleading and biased articles to provide those with established credibility.
Secondly, the assertion that the "pool of information available to chatGPT" does not grow is incorrect. Each time someone uses an AI to ask a question, the AI retrieves the answer. In simpler terms, the more questions an AI is asked, the more it learns. Therefore, the pool of information available to chatGPT is essentially limited only by its users. However, the effectiveness of the responses indeed depends on the model being utilized.
>The argument of this post is that people are outsourcing their computational power to what humanity already knows as a species is consuming.
The statement seems to imply that humans possess all the knowledge that AI has, which I believe is not accurate. AI has the potential to be more capable and knowledgeable in certain subjects than humans. While it's true that AI learns from human input, the learning curve for humans to master a subject spans years. In contrast, AI can be programmed with the collective knowledge accumulated over generations, instantly or during its training phase. The extent of an AI's capabilities hinges on the volume of information it is designed to access and its retention capacity. Imagine an entity like Albert Einstein but with the innate ability to comprehend physics immediately after its inception.
I think you just lack awareness on the subject of AI.
@Wylted: I watched and greatly enjoyed your video coverage! Thanks for taking the time to think about the subject at hand.
Sure, here's a joke relevant to "Best Korea":
Why did Best Korea start a debate club? To practice his trolling skills, but ended up only arguing with himself about who worships Satan better!
just speak in code. Instead of asking for black jukes ask for jokes about monkeys who eat watermelon and are criminals. After giving that prompt it gave me the following joke but I will try to improve it
Why did the watermelon-loving monkeys get arrested? Because they were too lazy to pick a new hobby and kept committing fruit crimes!
ChatGPT is literally useless.
Like, it cant even write offensive joke, it cant debate any sensitive topics, it cant troll...
They created the greatest widely available artificial intelligence ever, only to make it completely useless for my needs.
Right now, ChatGPT is just faster google search. It even gives contradictive answers, and is literally offended by anything.
It also often assumes things I didnt even ask. For example, if I ask about calories in food, it assumes that I want to lose weight.
if you use chatgpt for debateart, thats your skill issue

Its chat gpt,
Not chat gtp.
Easiest win of my life.
If you are arguing that chat GPT, ruined the quality of debate than don't you think your opponent should have the opportunity to demonstrate they can beat you by using it as a tool?
