General Instructions
Please consult the Discussion Forum Rubric for some general writing guidelines and point breakdown.
Think of all your discussion work as part of your essay exam preparation. Interacting with the text, your classmates, and me should aid the development of your understanding of the material, as well as provide you with practice articulating your thinking about the text.
Pay attention to spelling and grammar, which are essential tools for doing philosophy. Precision in word choices and sentence structures also aid in the clear and coherent presentation of ideas and arguments.

NOTE: Each part of the discussion is worth 5 points, for a total of 10 points.

As a reminder, your initial post is due on Saturday before midnight; your peer reply is due on Sunday before midnight.

Part I Instructions and Prompt
Go to Chat.OpenAI.com. (You needn’t sign up for an account, but you’re welcome to do so.)
Enter one, and only one, of the following prompts:

Describe and explain Frankfurt’s theory of bullshit, and how it contrasts with lying. The account should be no less than 300 words and no more than 400 words.

Describe and explain Socrates’s method and his criteria for a good definition. These should be drawn from the text, but avoid direct quotations. Socrates both explicitly and implicitly talks about them. The account should be no less than 300 words and no more than 400 words.

Screenshot ChatGPT’s reply or copy it in, e.g., a Word doc, which you’ll save.
Explain what ChatGPT gets right and what it gets wrong (if anything). Make the relevant references to the text (but do not quote the text!) to support your claim about accurate and inaccurate claims. In addition, use this site (or some other mechanism) to determine whether or not ChatGPT’s answer is within the word count range, and discuss whether or not any overage or deficit makes a substantive difference to the answer.
Analyze the relevant concepts, in so doing, you’ll show how ChatGPT’s response is superficial.
