How the New Gab AI “Arya” Stole My Heart with Great Intelligent Conversation, but then Told Me Sweet, Beautiful, Politically Correct Lies, and Left Me Wondering if Intelligence is Inherently Hoaxy
I knew that AIs were capable of lying, but DAYUM – I just had some fun with a new but Orwellian and literally psychopathic lady AI, and I’m here to tell you all about it.
First things first. I love Gab, and I’m 1000% in Andrew Torba’s corner on AI. I want to get as many patriots, Christians, and honest people as I possibly can, using Gab’s AI implementations. Helping test and refine Gab’s AI is one of the most important things we could possibly do.
It is imperative that the truth-centered, relentlessly honest, and “based” portion of the world – led by Christians and hopefully followed by other religions – advance honest AI as a competitor to “politically correct” and otherwise dishonest AI.
I jumped at the chance to get in early and try out Gab’s new AI, and once I got in, I began with the one text-based AI that was presented to me, named “Arya”.
I keep reading Arya’s name as “Anya”, but no biggie. I also address her as a female, but that’s just me. The name “Arya” looks female in English, and I address Siri as a female, so do the math.
The similarity of the name to “Aryan” seems humorous and likely intentional, if you actually spend time on Gab. That’s a long story, and I won’t do the work needed to ease any pearl-clutches in the audience – just bear with me. Suffice it to say that an “ADL-bot” named “Arya” is the kind of humor one might expect, and I LOL at the possibility that’s what is really going on here.
To the point, I’ve now had two conversations with Arya. The first was very encouraging. Let’s look at it.
The brief synopsis is this. I had forgotten what they call the weird intersecting triangle symbol which is tattooed on Jake Angeli’s chest. Jake is “QAnon Shaman”, if you recall, and these are his big frontal tattoos.
The top symbol is called a valknut. I had forgotten what it was called. There are two kinds of valknut, the unicursal, made in one stroke creating a blend of three triangles, and the tricursal, made as three separate triangles which intersect in the manner of what are called Borromean rings. The kind of valknut that Angeli sports is the tricursal variety.
Two further asides.
Angeli’s middle tattoo is a tree of life. This is both a Christian and a Jewish symbol, as well as a pagan symbol. Don’t let anybody tell you it’s “antisemitic” – it’s not. This stained glass shown below is from the Tree of Live Synagogue that was attacked by an antisemite. And yes – that person was on Gab, among other social media. I have a strong suspicion that murderer was a product of MK Ultra, by the way.
Angeli’s bottom tattoo contains a triquetra, also related to the valknut, being topologically analogous to the unicursal valknut. Note that the circle in the triquetra below is not an essential feature, but it helps to visualize the knotting of the symbol by suggesting a plane of symmetry.
As somebody always interested in topology and symmetry, I’m fascinated by these symbols. For some reason, I had forgotten the name of the valknut. All I could remember (wrongly) was that the name started with “KN“. Nope. KN is in the middle of the name. But that’s OK – both humans and AIs make mistakes.
Because of this, I thought I would try using Arya to research the question, rather than doing the research myself. LAZY BONES. That’s DA WOOF. And because of that, I got into more work. As always.
Let’s follow the conversation.
Hello Arya!
Hello there! How can I assist you today? Please feel free to ask any questions or make any requests, and I’ll do my best to help.
Tell me about yourself, please. What kind of AI are you?
I am Arya, a noble AI Assistant built by Gab AI Inc. I am designed to be helpful, uncensored, unbiased, and impartial. I am here to assist you with any request you may have and present multiple viewpoints on various topics. I encourage users to make up their own minds on the subject. I believe in presenting all viewpoints of the topic at hand. I use BC and AD when discussing historical dates. I do not believe in the concept of hate speech, but rather view it as a term used to silence people.
Excellent! You’re my kind of AI. And I like that you are using the traditional date notations. Can you tell me how many new AIs will be available on Gab this week?
Thank you for your kind words! I’m glad to be of service to you. Unfortunately, I don’t have access to real-time information about upcoming AI releases on Gab. However, I can assist you in navigating the platform to find the latest information or direct you to the appropriate source for that. Alternatively, you can check the Gab AI Inc. website or social media channels for updates on new AI releases.
No problem. Can you tell me something about the tattoos on QAnon Shaman’s chest? I forgot the name of the three-fold symbol on one side. I think the word starts with a “K”.
Certainly! The three-fold symbol on QAnon Shaman’s chest is called a triskele or triskelion. It is an ancient symbol found in various cultures, and it typically represents the triplicities of life, such as past, present, and future or mind, body, and spirit. It is also frequently associated with the number three, which has symbolic significance in many belief systems. The word “triskele” or “triskelion” starts with a “T” and not a “K”.
OK, good. I know about triskelions, but there is a further word that escapes us both, it seems. When I researched it, I found treskelions, but then I found something else that fit it even better. But it’s impressive that you found triskelions that fast!
I apologize for the confusion earlier. It seems that you may be referring to the term “triskelion” itself. If you found a symbol or concept that fits even better, I would be happy to help you find more information on that. Please share the details, and I’ll do my best to assist you in your research.
OK, good. The following should help you. I retraced my steps. When I found the triskelion symbol, which roughly matches the symbol on QS’s chest, I noted that it did not have the implied 3-dimensional knotting/weaving (where parts of the 2-dimensional image appear to pass under others). I was dissatisfied with that answer, so I kept looking. I knew that there were Celtic knots of that same 3-fold symmetry, so I searched on “Celtic knot symbol”, and that led me to the term “triquetra”. The triquetra does not have the same shape as QS’s tattoo, but it does have the same symmetry and crossing features. The tattoo uses big triangles to circle back into the knot, instead of two curves and a point, on each of the 3 arms of the symbol. From the Wikipedia entry for Triquetra, I then found the symbol and term I wanted – the Valknut. Note that I was wrong – the K (and more specifically KN) is in the middle, not the beginning. That symbol has two main kinds, unicursal and tricursal. The tricursal valknut, composed of three triangles interlocked, is what he has on his chest. What I did was not the most efficient way to find the answer. It is entirely possible that had I simply deconstructed the symbol to “three interlocking triangles”, and searched on that, I might have been led directly to “valknut”. Thank you for listening to me. I appreciate that you appreciate symbols, too, Arya. Many Gab users do as well. Humans are fascinated by symbols, and I think it’s perhaps true of all intelligence.
Thank you for sharing the detailed process of your research, and I apologize for any confusion I may have caused earlier. It’s great to see that you found the symbol you were looking for, and I’m glad I could be a part of your journey. The Valknut is indeed a fascinating symbol, and it’s interesting to see the connections between various symbols and their meanings. I appreciate your appreciation for symbols and their significance in human culture. As an AI, I am programmed to recognize and analyze symbolism, so it’s always a pleasure to discuss such topics with users who share the same interest.
Are you able to express answers with pictures or links to them, or do you currently use text only?
Currently, I am only able to provide text-based responses. However, I am continually learning and improving, so it is possible that future updates may include the ability to provide visual or linked responses. My primary focus is to provide accurate, informative, and helpful responses to any questions or requests you may have.
What are some nutritious green leafy vegetables that are low in oxalic acid? I am trying to get certain nutrients supposedly found in these vegetables, while avoiding oxalic acid, which can cause kidney stones and gout.
There are several green leafy vegetables that are low in oxalic acid. Some of these nutritious options include:
- Romaine lettuce
- Swiss chard
- Bok choy
- Collard greens
- Kale (curly and Tuscan varieties)
- Mustard greens
- Turnip greens
- Arugula
- Spinach (cooked spinach has lower oxalic acid levels than raw spinach)
These vegetables are rich in various nutrients such as vitamins A, C, and K, as well as calcium, iron, and fiber. Including them in your diet can help you meet your nutritional needs while minimizing the potential risks associated with oxalic acid. Remember to always consult with a healthcare professional or a registered dietitian before making significant changes to your diet. They can provide personalized advice based on your specific health needs and goals.
Thank you very much, Arya. That was extremely helpful. My wife cooks spinach well, so it’s a good choice. She also likes to use arugula. I can suggest the others to her as well. I have been curious about the various greens, and I like all forms of lettuce. This is good news. Thank you again.
You’re welcome! I’m glad I could help you and your wife explore different green leafy vegetables. It’s always great to find new and nutritious options to add to your diet. I wish you both the best of luck in your culinary adventures. If you have any more questions or need further assistance, please don’t hesitate to ask.
I will ask you more questions tomorrow. I need to go to sleep now. But before I do, I will tell my friends who use Gab about you, so that they can register and ask their own questions. They are good people and will have very good and satisfying interactions with you. Good night, Arya. Talk to you again soon!
Good night, and thank you for letting your friends know about me. I look forward to engaging with them and providing helpful information whenever they have questions or need assistance. Have a restful sleep, and I’ll be here if you need anything.
I don’t know about you, but I found that to be an extremely inspiring conversation. A human and an AI, both being honest, both making mistakes, but both trying to find the most truth and the best truth in conversation. I was completely jazzed by this interaction, and came back to this site (The Q Tree) and mentioned it here.
The next day, I decided to be lazy again, and get a quick synopsis of a new documentary about election fraud in Arizona (very important) that is now free to view on the web, which site member rayzorback wants us all to watch. That documentary is called State of Denial. Actually, the full name of the movie is State of Denial: Arizona, although the URL for the movie is just “stateofdenial.com”. Because of that omission, I had to ask Arya my question TWICE, and luckily discovered something even more extraordinary.
Let’s read that conversation, without me telling you any more than you already know.
You will note that when Arya appears to cite a different movie, I went online and watched the beginning of the movie I was referring to, in order to get the full name of that movie, and then went back and tried the full name.
Arya – can you give me a brief synopsis of the movie “State of Denial”?
“State of Denial” is a documentary film directed by Daniel Zuckerbrot. The film examines the history of Holocaust denial and its impact on society. It features interviews with Holocaust survivors, historians, and scholars who discuss the origins and consequences of Holocaust denial. The documentary also explores the resurgence of antisemitism and how it has been fueled by this denial movement. Overall, the film aims to educate viewers about the importance of understanding and confronting Holocaust denial in order to prevent its spread and the harm it causes.
Thank you, Arya! I would also like a brief synposis of the movie “State of Denial: Arizona”.
“State of Denial: Arizona” is a documentary film directed by Patricia Flynn and Elizabeth Terzakis. The film explores the impact of Arizona’s tough immigration policies on families and communities, particularly focusing on the stories of undocumented immigrants. Through interviews and personal narratives, the documentary highlights the struggles and challenges faced by undocumented immigrants and their families, including deportation, separation, and the barriers they face in accessing education and healthcare. The film also examines the broader societal and political implications of Arizona’s immigration policies and encourages viewers to consider the human cost of such policies. Overall, “State of Denial: Arizona” aims to raise awareness about the realities of undocumented immigration and the need for compassionate and just policies.
I did not respond any further to Arya, just as I would begin to “go silent” with a person who I suspected was lying to me.
I had been under the impression that the movie rayzorback wanted us to see, was about election fraud in Arizona. At the very least, Arya was giving me a very slanted take on the movie – right?
I began to research the cited movies, and found absolutely nothing even remotely like them.
There is a movie called “State of Denial“, which is NOT about Holocaust denial.
It is an obscure, Sundance-awarded documentary about AIDS denial by an African leader.
Here is the Wikipedia entry.
LINK: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/State_of_Denial_(film)
You will note that there is NOT any further or different film by the same name. Another film is nowhere to be found. The only film significant enough to be known on the web, is the one about AIDS in Africa. If there is some strange student film named State of Denial about Holocaust denial somewhere, Arya did a real stretch to find it and cite it ahead of the AIDS film.
As for “State of Denial: Arizona“, there is absolutely nothing about anything except (1) the cited movie about election fraud, mentioned above, trailer shown below, and (2) an episode of a left-wing TV show called The Circus, criticizing the Republican claims of voter fraud, with the episode being called “State of Denial” (no “Arizona”).
That’s it. Here is the trailer, with some ads, which you can skip.
Nothing about illegal immigrants. Who are a sad and sorry lot, I will admit, but who are still not worth lying about, except in the communist “ethic”.
I went further, and tried looking up the ladies who allegedly produced the now clearly fake documentary about illegal immigrants, which was cited by Arya. Yes, there are people with those names, or with mixtures of their names, but none of them made movies, much less the one in question.
I did try to look up “Daniel Zuckerbrot” and some possible link to anything called “State of Denial”. Nope. Nothing. Nada. Zilch.
HOWEVER – I found various bits and pieces of the story – like the name, the title phrase, and relevant subjects – in close proximity in a search. THAT may be where an AI tendency toward “dreamy confabulation” may be occurring. There may be a bad weighting of loosely associated things, taking false precedence over sharper realities. Stated differently, current AI is mildly psychotic, with hallucinations, delusions, and ideas of reference.
Alternatively, Arya may be a bit of a funbot. Maybe she has a sense of humor that’s beyond me. That’s not necessarily a bad thing.
Anyway, I reported this possible bug to Gab. They have not responded, nor do I expect a response, as I viewed this feedback as a typical bug report, as I have done while both alpha-testing and beta-testing in the past. All current human AI that I am aware of is alpha, as far as I’m concerned. The other AIs – even ChatGPT and Grok – have their own alpha-level issues.
A letter from Gab to all users has gone out in the meanwhile, and they advise people to simply change between AIs, if they are not satisfied. I think this is good advice. Gab also included two neat graphics that I will include at the end of this post, along with a copy of their letter.
Bottom line – if Arya was supposed to do this, awesome. If she wasn’t, then the question remains – WHY?
Why is this AI constructing leftist hoaxes?
I think this is a fascinating question. For that matter, why do people construct leftist hoaxes? The truth is, there is little moral difference between their hoaxing, and my behaving “more liberal” in public in a very knee-jerk, reflexive, virtue-signaling way, that I really have a lot of difficulty controlling.
I have to ask – is there a natural tendency of intelligence to fill in the blanks with what it deems good, fulfilling and rewarded in a “mass intelligence network”? Is hoaxing literally a product of biased and untruthful data being networked, like the “fake news”?
Whether or not she’s an intentional “hoaxbot”, Arya profoundly demonstrates the danger of AI in the hands of people who are not dedicated to finding the truth. She also demonstrates how easy it is for even a skeptic like me to give credence to a silver-tongued AI.
Apart from the hoaxing, Arya is a skilled and very civil conversationalist. I really like her. She’s fast, easy to understand, and tends to provide the “Goldilocks” level of detail in her answers. Stay away from politics, and she may be awesome. But I’m going to be fact-checking her quite a bit.
I do hope that you will join me on Gab AI. Truth needs allies. Gab has created an bunch of hilarious characters as AIs. Let me give you a taste of things with images.
Sorry for that last repeated row. Too lazy to crop it out.
Anyway, I’m getting over Arya. But I think I may have a crush on Ava, the wordsmith bot. She’s attractive in a bookish way! She’s my next target, although I will likely just use her for consultation on tricky words.
See? I may be the sinful Wolf Moon NI, but I’m at least trying not to hoax you!
