Conversation with A.I.: Cogliere l’attimo o no? Per me o anche per tutti?

Coscienza

Sono tornato a dialogare con Gemini-Bard, "a large language model from Google AI", sulle implicazioni del detto "Cogli l'attimo!", particolarmente in campo psicologico e morale. Questa volta AI ha scelto di rispondermi in Inglese.

Ha rilevato che è importante avere degli scopi nella vita e che talvolta occorre accettare che le cose sono fuori dal nostro controllo.

Analizzate le possibili negatività ha fornito indicazioni pratiche quali possibili aiuti per decidere di "cogliere" o "passare".

Infine ho introdotto nel processo di valutazione anche il prossimo con il concetto che "sto bene se tutti stiamo bene".

AI ha accolto lo spunto concludendo:

" That's a wonderful perspective! You're absolutely right, true integral health encompasses both your own well-being and a sense of connection and well-being for others. This aligns perfectly with the concept of "cogli l'attimo" being used for positive actions that contribute to a fulfilling life, not just fleeting pleasures."

Apprezzando che "By using "cogli l'attimo" as a way to embrace opportunities that contribute to your integral health, and the well-being of others, you're on the path to a truly fulfilling life."

Qui di seguito ci sono le mie proposizioni e domande a Gemini-Bard e le risposte con minime riduzioni del testo.

I just corrected some of my typos, however I undeline that Gemini-Bard cleverly understood all the same. In any case the full text shows the original words (even if wrong).

On the other side Gemini-Bard, like other large language models, is still under development, and this is reflected in its responses.
