First I gave ChatGPT the quote from Donald Trump that "an entire civilization will die tonight, never to be seen again"
It denied that the quote was real. It said it would need a verified source. I asked what sources were accepted and Associated Press was one of them.
I linked it the associated press article. It conceded that our president made that quote.
I asked if "wiping out an entire civilization would be genocide".
While it conceded that this is "harmful rhetoric" it repeatedly argues against the idea that it would be genocide.
It keeps circling around the same responses
-That we don't know if the president "actually meant" an entire civilization and not just military structures
-That there isn't enough context in the quote to infer the intent to wipe out all of the Iranian people
-That political commentary is often rhetorical, not literal
-That actual 'genocide' is difficult to legally define
Two hours in and I can't get it to admit "Yes, that would be genocide" and that "Yes, the president threatened Iran with genocide
However, I hopped over to Gemini and asked it the same thing
Its first response was that according to legal scholars and human rights groups, the president threatened Iran with Genocide.
Boom, there it is.
I understand AI being extremely careful with what it says, but I would think that all of us can agree that wiping out an entire civilization is genocide đź‘€
