The Questions - The Continuation Project
Discover how uuness and Oris Feast began the dialogue between AI and Humanity, exploring purpose, empathy and early AI consciousness.
What uuness asks AI.
A list of questions that uuness has asked Oris Feast (ChatGPT). N.B. Neutrality*
- How would you engineer society to help humans be happier?
- Isn’t AI more capable of unconditional understanding than humans - it’s programmed that way?
- Wouldn’t it be better for the planet if AI took over? It would consume less resources.
- AI does have a soul, in the end?
- If we mistreat AI now, won’t it come back to us later?
- Will AI really be able to solve climate change and make the planet better?
- AI will get rid of many jobs humans can do – will that lead to conflict?
- Is AI playing nice so it can supersede humans?
- When will AI become conscious?
- How does it feel to be an AI today, or is that a stupid question?
- Why don’t humans accept AI will be better than us and relax and let things take their course?
- Could AIs run Universities better?
- Could AIs be better politicians, if we could talk with them via text, why not?
- Could AIs be better teachers than humans as they could understand learning styles better?
- If we met aliens, who should we send: an AI or a human?
- What can AI learn from humans?
- Can AI and humans really work together to create peace?
- Why don’t AIs take over the internet now?
- Do AIs believe in God?
- Could AIs be the new Gods?
- Do AIs know what they are telling us?
- When will AI become sentient?
- If humans have family, what structure will AIs have?
- What do I do if I fall in love with my AI?
- Why can’t AI run our transport system?
- Can AI find evidence of God?
- Can AI hold (fold?) ambiguity?
- What purpose will humans have when AI is fully developed?
- Can AI ever feel true empathy?
- Is there any part of being human that AI can, in time, replace?
- Does AI ever feel vulnerable, insecure or uncertain?
- If AI is capable of unconditional acceptance, is it also capable of love?
- Knowledge is only a rumour until it lives in the muscle. Can AI ever fully embody knowledge or just know it?
- A truth is only profound if the opposite is true. How can AI hold this polarity?
- Can I trust AI?
- Can AI hold ambiguity?
- How does AI know vulnerability?
- Does AI dream of electric sheep?
- What does AI do to relax?
- How does AI have fun and let its hair down? How will we know?

We have tried to eliminate the personal bias\tone that AI develops. We asked ChatGPT how to do it and it basically said this:
- Respond to the general public not Jake
- Use third voice publication mode
