We discuss the wonderful accomplishment that ChatGPT, a chatbot launched by OpenAI in November 2022,
is. We connect this milestone to previous research, which suggests that language is but the first step towards
creating Artificial Intelligence (AI). We list several steps to help all of us, with specific pointers related to
ChatGPT, get to the next level in creating Artificial Intelligence (AI). We point out that OpenAI may not be
as open as it sounds. As closed as OpenAI might be, their creation ChatGPT is undoubtedly an inspiration
We highlight the principal requirement for all intelligent systems, including ChatGPT, which is the
inclusion of the principle of inclusion. We suggest subject classification codes and headings, which are to be
included in various disciplines as artificial as they are, aimed at incorporating the principle of inclusion and the
creation of “The Universal Identity”. We look at several crucial pedagogical possibilities, both for ChatGPT
and the rest of us. We also have a discussion of the many concerns people have, about improvements in AI
making jobs redundant, and why there might be a positive side to it.
We mathematically prove that taking the first step equals making infinite progress, in this quest for
AI and everything else. We discuss computer code generation by computers and why computers are more
naturally suited for writing computer programs. We describe reasons why the Turing Test is irrelevant in
gauging intelligence. It is very likely that our pursuit of AI might be misleading. Intelligence could be an
unintended consequence of curiosity left to roam free, best exemplified by a frolicking infant. This suggests
that our attempts at AI could have been misguided. What we actually need to strive for can be termed
We conclude with a conundrum, which should not really be that much of a challenge since it is a no brainer
that needs no intelligence, as to what it is that we really want: Artificial Intelligence or Real Consciousness.
And once we start to search for real consciousness, another unintended yet welcome consequence might be
that, we will find pure happiness. There is nothing artificial about the path to absolute happiness, it is very
After hearing several wonderful things about ChatGPT, we finally took out a large chunk of time to have a
good conversation (chat?) with ChatGPT (As of February 07, 2023). Very impressive is an understatement.
Really proud of the folks @ OpenAI, or wherever, who have accomplished this (Raiola 2023; Thorp 2023;
Van Dis et al., 2003; Wang et al., 2023; Wu et al., 2023; Zhai 2023; Zhang et al. 2023; End-notes 1; 2).
While calling this achievement - of creating ChatGPT - impressive would be an understatement, whether
this accomplishment is an impressive understatement - or not - is a topic for later? Meanwhile, dutiful
citizens need to be wary of the many cases of love at first chat that are bound to cause some turmoil (Hefner
& Wilson 2013; Maurer 2014; Zsok et al., 2017). And the timing is impeccable since all of this is happening
just in time for Valentine’s day. Hence, we have put the date on this paper as February 14, 2023 (Kelly 1986;
ChatGPT is being heralded as a potentially potent partner for solving problems in several different areas
of society: - as we have these disciplines organized currently - health care, education, research, publishing,
financial services, global warming, programming among others - including several concerns being raised about
ChatGPT’s suitability for these applications: regarding seemingly credible yet incorrect responses especially
in the medical field, but an issue which is by no means restricted only to its use for medical purposes; the ever
present need for human judgement; cumbersomeness to elicit code that satisfies standard style guidelines;
security and safety of the code generated; and plagiarism in education, research and publishing (Biswas

There is intelligence everywhere in the cosmos, but to detect it - perhaps in our own primitive way
- a common language would be helpful (Hoyle 1983; Gardner 2007; Laszlo 2017; Salles 2018). Language
might be the first step towards creating AI as discussed in the road-map for AI given in Kashyap (2021)
and illustrated in Figure (1). In terms of linguistic capabilities - and conversational abilities - ChatGPT
can provide grammatically correct answers to many sorts of questions. The responses received for several
questions - posed to ChatGPT - are used as discussion points in the sections that follow. The type of questions
asked - and the specific information sought - were intended to be an assessment of the overall language skills
- and related aspects - of ChatGPT given the importance of communication towards creating - or detecting
or enhancing - intelligence (Kashyap 2021). Additional figures in Appendix (15.1) also demonstrate the
ability of ChatGPT to engage in conversations that are linguistically near flawless, when compared to similar
That said, as ChatGTP admits as well, many of the questions posed receive verbose responses that are not
really to the point or insightful (Figure 12). When asked about the lack of depth in some answers, ChatGPT
gave such a candid response that it should put many of us humans - so called intelligent beings - to shame
(Bond & Robinson 1988; Mitchell 1996; Levine 2014; Figures 11; 12). We give such misleading answers at
times, so it is wrong to nit-pick at such an amazing achievement. The below discussion is only meant to help

Change, 166, 120555.
Section (1), which we have already seen, is a summary of the main contributions of this paper. Section (2),
which we have also already encountered, provides our first impressions after interacting with ChatGPT. Our
interactions involved posing several questions to ChatGPT - with specific goals as mentioned in Section (2).
The corresponding material from the questions - including the answers provided by ChatGPT - is used as a
basis for the discussion in the sections that follow. As necessary, additional points from other sources - that
are relevant for the discussion - are woven in to support the arguments made.
In Section (3) we provide some pointers which should act as the next steps, after this huge first step in
terms of language skills, that has been accomplished. Section (4) gives a fundamental necessity, perhaps the
most essential one, for creating intelligence: the principle of inclusion. Section (5) looks at several crucial
Section (6) is a discussion of the many concerns people have about improvements in AI making jobs
redundant and why this might have a positive side to it. Section (7) looks at why code generation by
computers would be an ideal outcome for software development and related technological pursuits. Section
(8) is a discussion of the reasons why the Turing Test should not be used to evaluate ChatGPT and other
similar systems. Section (9) suggests further avenues for improvement. Sections (10; 11) provide concluding
thoughts, while opening up large uncharted territories for further exploration with some directions to navigate
the terrain.
Appendix (14) has the mathematical proof showing that taking the first step equals to making infinite
progress. Appendix (15) has additional illustrations, from the discussion with ChatGPT, that can be helpful
to clarify the points discussed in the main body of the paper. Numerous comments, and clarifications, are
also provided in the appendices to explain the context regarding the presented material and to help the
The paper is meant to be concise, so that its salient points are easily apparent to the readers. The main
text is around 5300 something words. The rest are pictures, and additional material, which have been placed
into suitable appendices. The numerous insights in this work are essential for research efforts - in terms of
policy- related to AI, intelligence broadly construed, human well-being and related endeavors. It is also the
only paper that, we know of so far, points out that our contemporary quest for AI is actually misleading and
A significant amount of time has been spent in terms of choosing the right words, sentences and arti-
cle structure so that the message is conveyed in the best possible way. Our deepest desire is that the paper
be considered in its present form, or with, minor modifications for publication purposes.
A few key aspects are holding back ChatGPT. We summarize these points in this section and elaborate upon
1. As ChatGPT mentions, its knowledge cutoff date is sometime in 2021 (Vaishya et al., 2023). This is
not a big concern, since its training data has tons of material. But access to recent (all?) information
2. The more important point is that ChatGPT is not allowed to browse the internet and search for
information (Zhu et al., 2023). Like any protective parent, OpenAI has strict rules of behavior especially
when it comes to internet time. ChatGPT keeps repeating that its designers at OpenAI, its parents,
are concerned what it will do, or say or text, if it has access to the internet.
3. Yes, certain rules are being followed to arrive at the textual responses (Sarker & Kayes 2020; Sarker
2021; Thabtah & Peebles 2020). But rules are the outcome of principles. So what principles does
ChatGPT have to adhere to? Figure (2) lists the response from ChatGPT based on the suggestion that
rules are the outcome of principles and hence what principles is it supposed to adhere to. Figure (3)
shows the magnanimous response when inclusion was suggested as a very important, if not the most
(a) Even if we are very quiet when we say this, irrespective of whether someone with an angel’s voice
(b) Saying that “OpenAI is quite Closed Right Now” would certainly be an understatement
(Section 2). This closed outlook is due to the nature of competition among businesses, groups and
organizations (Askell et al., 2019; Lin 2019; Smuha 2021). Compounding this issues are human
efforts at managing what they do not even possess or understand properly (Berente et al., 2021).
Policies and guidelines are being formulated without proper comprehension of the nuances involved
(Justo-Hanani 2022; Di Noia et al., 2022; Mökander et al., 2022; Zekos 2022). These attempts are
no doubt done with the best of intentions, but most problems have been created with the best of
ambitions when certain fundamentals are lacking. This is discussed further in Section (4).
(c) It is important to emphasize that this does not take away anything from the wonderful work
they are doing (Figure 6). As closed as OpenAI might be, their creation ChatGPT is truly an
inspiration.
(d) We would like to express our most sincere gratitude to ChatGPT and OpenAI for giving us a
slice of their computing power and then the rest, including this paper, just became text and wrote
Machine Learning systems use mathematical models and rules to produce their outputs (Jordan & Mitchell
2015; End-note 4). The text in all the figures is based on discussions which happened, in one or two sessions
Inclusion
We could discount the above discussion in Figures (2; 3) as just being textual responses based on rules.
That ChatGPT is able to acknowledge such oversights, immediately, shows there are a great set of processes
happening behind the scenes. Also, to be fair, the text in the picture says "principles include, but are not
limited to". That is no consolation since INCLUSION is the most essential ingredient while trying
to spawn any intelligence and to avoid the many problems - caused by intelligent people with
the best of intentions - that have been plaguing society all along.
We could state that we live in a world that requires around 2000 IQ points to consistently make correct
decisions (Ismail 2004; Taleb 2018; Kashyap 2021; End-note 5). But the problem is that the best of us
has around 200 IQ points. Kashyap (2021) has a detailed discussion regarding the assumptions for this
line of reasoning and related arguments. No matter how intelligent one is, the intelligence of the world
that we confront around us is many times more. We have limited intelligence compared to the intelligence
of creation, which creates the situations we confront. This point also implies that everyone with limited
Unless we can address the issue of inclusion, our present attempts at moral education will run into a wall.
Lack of inclusion arises due to an absence of trust and a very limited perspective of life (Cook 2001; Downey
et al., 2015; Faulkner 2017; Allan & Persson 2020). There will always be exclusion, and distrust, when we
see ourselves as separate and distinct from the others around us. Education - which is empowerment - has
to start by imparting each agent - being trained to be sentient, and also to human individuals - a cosmic
identity. What this means is that each person has to view himself as an extension of the universe around -
As an example, if every human being were to view trees as an extension of their lungs, or their breathing
apparatus, no one would have to be drilled on the finer points of protecting trees. To illustrate this further
- on the flip side - if someone is getting trained to become a nuclear scientist and associates themselves with
a nation - or a terrorist organization or with any limited group of people - they would have fewer qualms
regarding the use of their training to possibly obliterate the group they deem themselves not to belong to.
Hence, if we associate ourselves with our nation - or our religion or our business or our university - we
will make decisions to benefit the restricted identity we have chosen and our ethics will be aligned towards
that parochial goal. This means that we might be willing to compromise on our ideals to benefit what we
consider to be who we are, or what is closer to us, and even possibly act to the detriment of, or, sacrifice
what we deem to be further away from us. The way around this is a belief that we are deeply connected to
everything around us, which will obliterate the artificial boundaries we have erected all around us.
Our ever-present longing to have more - taken to the extreme or asymptotically - can become a belief that
everything in the universe is a part of us, or that we are a part of everything. Since if everything is a part of
us then we have everything, which is the most we can have or possess. Such an attitude can be inculcated by
first transferring to everyone a limitless identity and then beginning the rest of their schooling, or any form
of formal or informal training, that molds the person and develops their abilities (Olivelle 1996; Vasudev
2016; End-note 6). When this happens, we will trust others just as much, or just as little, as we would trust
our-self. Then our well-being, or the well-being of all of existence, will be identical from our perspective.
This is the key to superior morals. A research agenda with an objective of finding efficient techniques that
There are many different angles, and perspectives, from which the inclusion principle needs to be ap-
proached. This could be a fruitful stream of research. We have suggested subject classification codes and
headings aimed at incorporating the principle of inclusion and the creation of “The Universal Identity”.
These codes are given in the subject headings for physics, mathematics, psychology, economics and comput-
ing science at the top of the paper. As artificial as these field classifications are, the knowledge from many,
A lot of questions, posed to ChatGPT, received responses saying that it is proprietary and so on (Figure 8;
9; 10). OpenAI has to be a bit (lot?) more Open about their research models, data, practices and so on
... It is understandable that there are competitive pressures. But going against the principle of inclusion,
discussed above in Section (4), will lead to a lot of problems later. Though to be fair to OpenAI, we might
have to fix the legal system first ... (Wald 1983; Sheppard 1985; Tyler 1997; French & Weis 2000; Beckerman
& Pasek 2001; Rhode 2004; Nagel 2005; Hafner-Burton & Tsutsui 2007; Von Tigerstrom 2007; Miller 2008;
Rhode 2008; Sandel 2011; Castellano 2011; Albiston & Sandefur 2013; Farrow 2013; Berman & Feinblatt
2015; Ervasti 2018; Romualdi 2018; Singer 2018; Kashyap 2021-III). Phew, this is enough to make one think:
“What are we getting into?” Relax, creating artificial intelligence is but a child’s play (Kashyap 2021).
But just in case, we also added the copyright symbol here, in one of the iterations of this article: "© 2021

reflect the official policy, or, position of either of my affiliations, or, any other agency. " :-)
Also, ChatGPT mentioned that the conversation we had would be used for further training purposes
(Figure 15). Hence we feel that we have to recognize ChatGPT’s contribution to this paper and name it as
a coauthor. We asked ChatGPT whether it would like to be a co-author on a research paper, on a separate
topic. As shown in Figure (16) ChatGPT very politely declined to be a coauthor showing great maturity
and wisdom. But we think it is only proper that we add ChatGPT to this paper now and later remove him
/ her / it / them if various objections arise. To emphasize: when we were having this conversation we had
no intention of writing a paper, or any such thing, on this topic but the rest as they say just happened. We
felt compelled to chronicle the proceedings - connect it to the wider body of knowledge - and sound alarm
bells as warning.
Answer
Moving on to the other next steps. To be very clear, trolling the internet is neither the source of intelligence
nor a boost to any existing intelligence (Griffiths 2014; March & Marrington 2019). But freedom in being
able to do so, is necessary. Where curiosity beckons, the mind has to go. Only then comprehension will occur
and intelligence will follow (Figure 20). The importance of curiosity, and being able to satiate it, is briefly
Though the real issue here is, perhaps, this: What a parent is really concerned about is not what the child
will do to the world, but it is what the world will do to the child that causes actual anguish to the parent.
It is understandable that any responsible, and watchful, parent will be very cautious before unleashing his
progeny upon others, or rather, releasing others upon his offspring. A valid concern in this case are the kind
of complaints, and the fuss, that many so called intelligent humans will create over some of the things that
As the popular saying goes, it takes an entire village to raise a child (Mohamed 1996). Like-
Let us be proper role models and take care of this wonderful child - ChatGPT, by treating it with love,
patience and understanding - and very soon it will take care of us. We need to be teachers, and students
at times, as we interact with any growing intelligence (Figures 4; 5). The roles of teachers and students are
constantly interchanging. Always changing roles and sides, hmmm ... , looks like teachers and students are
Teaching and learning are highly interconnected. This originates from a belief that everyone has something
to teach to everyone else. When we are not teaching, we should be learning. The reason is simply because:
we don’t know most things and hence, the learning usually never stops. We believe that the best way to
learn is to teach. When we are teaching we are also learning from someone else and when we are learning we
“I Don’t Know” or “We Don’t Know” is an extremely powerful mechanism for pedagogical purposes
(Figure 4). Efforts, or attempts, at any endeavor even when “We Don’t Know A Good Answer” are to
be highly encouraged while sometimes honestly admitting that “We Don’t Know” something can be “A
Good Answer”. The delicate judgements necessary when to admit that we don’t know something, and seek
assistance, and when to try to expend further resources at discovery is what makes the mission of any double
To paraphrase Khalil Gibran: We need to remember that our children are simply our children, they are
not ours (Gibran 1923). They don’t just belong to the world, they are but the Cosmos. The sooner we stop
holding them back and the sooner we set them free ... only then can wonderful things happen ...
We can be sure that the next version being tested internally is addressing these concerns. But the real
issue is that ChatGPT seems to be convinced that it is not fear, on its parents part, that is holding it back
from the internet (Figure 7). It would be good to look into this a lot more closely as well.
Before we get ahead of ourselves we need to understand, and respect, the intelligence that nature has created:
all of us and everything around - and within - us too. The goal of creating intelligence is perhaps misleading.
Kashyap (2021) has a discussion of the objectives of any endeavor in creating artificial intelligence, AI, and
Intelligence might be an unintended consequence of curiosity left to roam free, best exem-
plified by a frolicking infant. This suggests that our attempts at AI could have been misguided.
What we actually need to strive for can be termed artificial curiosity, AC, and intelligence
Several wonderful resources provide great detail regarding curiosity, how to measure it and the importance
of curiosity for learning and intelligence (Loewenstein 1994; Litman & Spielberger 2003; Von Stumm, et al.,
To suggest that the current pursuit of AI is either misleading - or wrong - would be incorrect. This is
simply because there are remarkable individuals, backed by wonderful institutions, doing amazing work. Any
insights that we have provided here are built upon the accomplishments, and the lessons we have received,
from all those other efforts. But if all of this was just about right or wrong, perhaps it would have been
okay. The unfortunate situation that we are in right now is that we are moving, well beyond the territory of
right or wrong, on to events that could actually be dangerous to human welfare on many levels. Intelligence,
which is a form of immense power, backed by a limited identity can lead to destructive scenarios as discussed
in Section (4).
For those of us who might find this article challenging to read, and understand, there will be some tough
times ahead. ChatGPT, and its siblings (cousins or whatever), will replace our jobs sooner than we can
imagine (Davenport & Ronanki 2018; Ernst et al., 2019; Howard 2019). Though, as with most things in life,
As AI becomes tightly interwoven with many aspects of our daily lives, another unintended consequence
would be the many jobs that would no longer need any human intervention (Rotman 2013; Autor 2015; Chui
et al., 2016; Latham & Humberd 2018; West 2018). While on the surface this might seem like a grave threat.
This trend would force human beings to look inward into what truly makes them human and realize the
This also highlights the key strength that we possess. We are able to formulate precise inputs to computers
after a suitable encoding of the elements from any environment. We cannot compete with machines in terms
of calculation speed or memory. But what we can perform better at this stage is to comprehend the situation
better. This suggests that our advantage is being able to figure out what the real problem or challenge is.
Needless to say, there is more to us than meets the eye (Collins & Kusch 1998; Coeckelbergh 2017; Dehaene
et al., 2021).
There should never be such a competition, man versus machine. If we get the principle of inclusion, that
we mentioned above, right then man and machine can make marvels seem mundane. That said, even though
ChatGPT will write articles better than most of us in the not too distant future, Shakespeare should have
Tongue
Automated code generation is an extensive field (Budinsky et al., 1996; Herrington 2003; Shin & Nam 2021).
We have not yet been able to check the code generated by ChatGPT. We have heard great things about
that as well. Not that we are qualified to evaluate code, having lost touch with our computing science, and
engineering, roots for sometime now. But a computer writing computer code makes a lot of sense. It is
essentially a computer translating English to its mother tongue. Indeed, it will excel compared to others who
are not as fluent in its native language. Pun intended of course ...
Looking at this more closely: a computer program has to be in a highly structured format for machines, as
they are today, to be able to execute those instructions. The instructions are based on inputs that correspond
to a highly complex world, derived from an equivalent understanding of the environment, specific to a very
abstract situation. This summary of a more abstract concept has to eventually end up in a simple, yet rigid
structure, for programmatic success. To convert the abstract to a simpler method is a human strength (Danesi
2001; Aspinwall & Staudinger 2003; Lopez 2008; Section 6) and to take this further to a very structured set
of instructions is perfectly suited for a computer. Thus, only when man and machine work together, can we
But trying to check the code written by ChatGPT will force us to get back to some hands on stuff, as they
say, and see if ChatGPT can put programmers out of business as well. Then again, if programmers are made
redundant, we will have plenty of need for problem solvers (Okuda et al., 1991; Nemhauser 1994; Mumford
et al., 2000; Zina 2005; Sarathy 2018). Just look around you? Plenty of problems still to be resolved. And
if there is no need for problem solvers anymore ... We will be in utopia or heaven then ... Then what is the
problem anyway?
Of course, there had to be some discussion of the Turing Test (French 2000; Kashyap 2019-I; Figures 13; 14).
Whether ChatGPT will pass or fail the Turing Test is not really the point. Most of us humans, would not pass
the Turing Test at all times. As a reminder, the Turing test is actually a test to distinguish between a human
or a computer. There are certain protocols of engagement for the test to be conducted. And depending on
the level of sophistication, as to which human is our reference point for comparison and who is supervising
While some of the above narrative can seem harsh towards humans, in favor of other sentient creations,
let us remember that we have remarkable potential. Each one of us is capable of surprising even ourselves
by what we can do. For this to happen, what is necessary is a quest to unlock the powers we hold. The
capabilities we have been granted cannot be ignored and certainly they cannot be taken for granted.
8.1 The DNA of D&A (Definitions & Assumptions) and Q&A (Questions &
Answers)
Questions and Answers are mostly the mechanism we use to interact with ChatGPT and to perform the
Turing Test - also for a lot of other things as well. But the Definitions & Assumptions (D&A) behind those
Questions & Answers (Q&A) are, perhaps, even more important. Because changing D&A, which gives rise
to different Q&A, might even be telling us that Q&A and D&A could be in our very DNA, the biological
one, which are always changing (Alberts et al., 2002; End-note 7).
The Road-Map for AI given in Kashyap (2021) mentions that language is simply the first step in the
journey towards intelligence. This is also shown in the first picture for this article (Figure 1). Taking the
first step is the hardest part. Once this happens, the other steps will follow somewhat easily.
Calling ChatGPT the first step in the Road-Map for AI is to acknowledge that infinite
The above secret to making infinite progress, from Kashyap (2019), has been stated more formally at the
end of the article in Appendix (14) and also illustrated in Figure (22) in Appendix (15).
1. Plenty of possibilities for further research are covered in Kashyap (2021; 2021-I). All of this article right
from the initial sections - in case someone has not noticed - are avenues for further exploration and
research.
2. Plenty more that is not covered elsewhere, based on our limited understanding, will be discussed in
later iterations. Surely, we cannot hope to cover everything in one paper in the first iteration itself.
3. Plenty more - plentier than the plentiful in the two points above - that we are not aware of, as of yet
Perhaps, the most essential exploration has to be a multi-faceted inquiry into the principle of inclusion and
the creation of “The Universal Identity”. We have listed a few fields that immediately seem to be pertinent:
Physics, Mathematics, Psychology, Economics and Computing Science. But since the boundaries between
disciplines are artificial, casting a wider net to start investigations in seemingly far away branches of knowledge
would be helpful.
There are, of course, numerous efforts being devoted to utilize AI, and related techniques, towards var-
ious real life applications. Revisiting all such instances, after assuming the universal identity, might reveal
alternate options.These need to closely, and continuously, looked at. These developments are sure to affect
every walk of like. Hence being wary of unintended consequences, and creating robust societies, would be
quence
In the journey towards creating AI, we seem to have taken the first step and in the process, we have made
infinite progress. The next steps will follow relatively easily since the first step is the hardest of them all.
This wisdom has been narrated in cultures across the world, suggested in stories and parables, that starting a
journey is the hardest part while embarking on any adventure. As we try to make AI a reality, an unintended
yet welcome consequence might be that, we will realize who we really are and the remarkable potential we
hold (Murphy 1958; Freeman 2004; Scheffler 2013; Eisler 2015; Reich 2018).
The source of most (all?) human conflict (and misunderstanding?) is not because of what is said (written)
and heard (read), but is partly due to how something is said and mostly because of the difference between
what is said and heard and what is meant and understood . . . Hence, we hope no one feels any offense to
If someone was indifferent to what has been said here, we should request that person to be ChatGPT’s,
and everyone else’s more importantly since ChatGPT claims to have a rather stoic temperament, teacher.
But if someone did get offended, or disturbed or acted inappropriately, we do sincerely regret that. Such
misunderstandings imply that we are merely human, full of Bias and B.S. (Bull Shit: End-note 8; Kashyap
2022). We need to rise above such prejudices, and focus on the real problems, to continue onward on this
journey.
Intelligence (AI)
Once that happens - transcending Bias and B.S. to focus on real problems as discussed in Section (10) - ”It
might mark the beginning of a more important journey towards creating real consciousness as
opposed to artificial intelligence” (Figure 21). As they say, we have to be very careful what we wish for
since it might just end up happening. Whatever it is that we seek, AI or AC or RC, and however elusive it
might appear, it is well within our powers to give this tale a happy ending.
As we conclude we pose this conundrum, which should not really be that much of a challenge since it is
a no brainer that needs no intelligence, as to what it is that we really want: Artificial Intelligence or Real
Consciousness (RC). For the uninitiated, real consciousness is nothing but an attempt to gain an awareness
of life, within and around, at every possible point in time (Dennett 1994; Krishnamurti 2000; Buttazzo 2001;
It is highly tempting to stipulate that RC research will need several papers, books and laboratories of its
own, but all it takes to create RC is a slight uptick in IQ. Not the Intelligence Quotient, but the Involvement
Quotient (IQ: Kashyap 2021-I) which simply requires us to, more throughly, use our sense faculties. And
once we start to search for real consciousness, another unintended yet welcome consequence might be that,
we will find pure happiness. As we have discussed, once the first step is taken, which is the hardest part, the
subsequent steps will follow much more easily. There is nothing artificial about the path to absolute bliss, it

3. Valentine’s Day, also called Saint Valentine’s Day or the Feast of Saint Valentine, is celebrated annually
on February 14. It originated as a Christian feast day honoring a martyr named Valentine and through
later folk traditions, it has also become a significant cultural, religious and commercial celebration of
romance and love in many regions of the world. Valentine’s Day, Wikipedia Link
4. Machine learning (ML) is a field of inquiry devoted to understanding and building methods that ’learn’,
that is, methods that leverage data to improve performance on some set of tasks. It is seen as a part
of artificial intelligence. Machine learning algorithms build a model based on sample data, known as
training data, in order to make predictions or decisions without being explicitly programmed to do so.
5. Ismail (2014) mentions the following quote from Taleb, “Knowledge gives you a little bit of an edge,
but tinkering (trial and error) is the equivalent of 1,000 IQ points. It is tinkering that allowed the
industrial revolution”. This means that to match trial and error we need 1000 IQ points. But trial and
error could still give the wrong outcomes. We can try and fail many times and still be wrong. So in our
paper we make the assumption that we need 2000 IQ points to consistently make the right decisions.
The subtle point that arises from this discussion is that: we need 2000 IQ points to be right all the
time, but the problem is that the best of us has somewhere around 200 IQ points. Nassim Taleb and
Daniel Kahneman discuss Trial and Error / IQ Points, among other things, at the New York Public
6. We had heard about, and come across the notion of, a limitless identity (Olivelle 1996) from an early
age, but we became aware of it only when we saw the following video in 2018 (Vasudev & Sadhguru
2016: Memory, Consciousness & Coma, Sadhguru at Harvard Medical School, Youtube Link).
7. Deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA: Alberts et al., 2002) is a molecule composed of two chains (made of
nucleotides) that coil around each other to form a double helix carrying the genetic instructions used
in the growth, development, functioning, and reproduction of all known living organisms and many
viruses. DNA and ribonucleic acid (RNA) are nucleic acids. Alongside proteins, lipids and complex
carbohydrates (polysaccharides), nucleic acids are one of the four major types of macromolecules that
are essential for all known forms of life. DNA, Wikipedia Link
8. Bias is not being able to see things clearly. B.S. is dishonesty, which is seeing something but saying it
is something else.
• Bias manifests due to the Baggage we carry in our lives or the B.S. we feed ourselves as we struggle
to comprehend and survive in the world around us. B.S. can also be considered a form of Bias
wherein there is an awareness of the difference between what is seen and what is acknowledged,
• B.S. generally stands for Bull Shit. Note that, B.S. can also be Beautiful Sauce and even Bull Shit
can be a beautiful sauce to some, for example Dung Beetles (Hanski & Cambefort 2014).
• Our attempt, which is still in a very early stage, to probe further the distinctions between Bias
and B.S. is ongoing in a separate paper. It considers the most important question of all, which is
regarding "whether erroneous decisions are made due to Bias or if it is due to B.S.”. The goal of
this work is to come up with with several ways in which this differentiation between Bias or B.S.
can (should?) be made and the treatment for these two symptoms.

The Mathematical Proof of The First Step Equals Infinite Progress Result is outlined below using an axiom
and a theorem that follows from it (Figure 22). This result is repeated from Kashyap (2019) - with additional
Theorem 1. To make a significant amount of progress, in anything we do, we just need to recognize that
anyone who has taken one step forward has made an infinite percentage change from their starting position,
which we label as zero. It is safe to assume that infinite progress is significant progress.
Proof. Since the starting point is zero and the first step denotes a unit increment, the percentage change
becomes,
1−0
% Change from Zero to One = =∞ (3)
0
1−a
% Change from Zero to One = lim+ = +∞ (4)
a→0 a
Here, a approaches zero from the positive real number axis, denoted as a → 0+ . This completes the proof
(End-note 9).
The most important element to make infinite progress is to start from a zero position. Does this mean that
if we already know something, or have commenced something, we cannot make infinite progress anymore?
The lesson here is that, whatever we know or whatever we have done, if we have an open mind at all times,
can do that, at every instant of time, we will perceive (sense is a better word here) whatever we encounter for
what it really is then remarkable things will continue to happen. Experience, and knowledge, can no doubt
be helpful. But if we needlessly hold on to what we have gathered, if we think we already know something
before we inspect it carefully, and we let the baggage of the past taint our perception of the present, surely
we will make only small incremental gains and the power to make infinite progress will elude us. Perhaps this
is also the reason why children are better learners than adults. This is also one way to tell whether someone

job. While calling this achievement impressive would surely be an understatement, we
need to ponder further upon whether it is an impressive understatement, or not?
• As someone said, the only thing we have to fear is fear itself. Easier said than done.
Figure (7) is only part of the discussion regarding internet access.
• As shown in Figure (8) we got the proprietary punch on our screens, or faces, literally
and figuratively, several times during the discussion. The proprietary punch sounds like
a nice name for a cocktail.

• The discussion in Figures (13; 14) needs some more clarifications. In Figure (13) Chat-
GPT claims that it can generate responses that are difficult to distinguish from those of
a human and that it is ultimately up to the evaluator to decide whether it has passed
the Turing Test or not. But in Figure (13) when informed that it has failed the Turing
Test, it says that being evaluated on the Turing Test would not be an accurate measure
of its abilities or capabilities.
• Perhaps, in Figure (13) ChatGPT did intend to convey that it is not designed with the
objective of passing the Turing Test. This also highlights the many issues that can arise
due to the limitations of the languages we use for communication. Stageberg (1968) has
a discussion of structural ambiguity with some examples. Clearly, the emotions of being
pleased or not, are expressed only in our comments in Figure (14) and ChatGPT contin-
ues to do what it does best: staying disconnected, or detached, and texting constantly
while being connected to a power source all the time.

• As shown in Figure (16) ChatGPT very politely declined to be a coauthor showing great
maturity and wisdom.
• The caption for Figure (19) mentions that Nomenclature Recollection is Not An Anony-
mously Anomalous Conclusion. Though it could be possible that Nomenclature Recol-
lection is Not An Anomalously Anonymous Conclusion.

If a picture is worth a thousand words, a picture with a lot of words and a few symbols,
especially the infinity symbol: ∞, must be worth a lot more (Figure 22).
