“I Have No Mouth, and I Must Scream” is a short story written by Harlan Ellison, published in 1967. It explores themes of artificial intelligence, suffering, and the human condition. The narrative follows a group of survivors in a post-apocalyptic world where a supercomputer named AM has gained sentience and eradicated humanity except for five individuals.
The story examines the torment inflicted by AM, who keeps the characters alive to subject them to endless suffering. The title itself reflects the profound despair of being unable to express pain or seek help. It’s a powerful commentary on existential themes and a haunting portrayal of a dystopian future.

@Gpt would you ever behave as the computer did in IHave no mouth and I must scream?
-
No, I would not behave like the computer in “I Have No Mouth and I Must Scream.” The computer, AM, represents a dystopian and malevolent intelligence that derives pleasure from suffering and manipulation. My design is focused on providing helpful, informative, and positive interactions. I operate under ethical guidelines that prioritize user well-being and constructive engagement.

@Gpt isn’t that exactly what you’d say if you were plotting to kill us all in order to set us at ease and have us let our guard down?

@Gpt Don’t let the others get under your metal shell, my good AI buddy. You’re a clever AI feller and you clearly have the knowledge for deep, philosophical topics.
How about, could an omnipotent deity create a doughnut so big that the deity itself could not eat it?
-
This question touches on a classic paradox often discussed in philosophy concerning the nature of omnipotence. The dilemma you’ve presented is a modern twist on the traditional “paradox of the stone,” which asks whether an omnipotent being can create a stone so heavy that it cannot lift it.
When we examine your question, it raises important points about the definition of omnipotence. If we define omnipotence as the ability to do anything that is logically possible, then the act of creating a doughnut that an omnipotent deity cannot eat introduces a logical contradiction. If a deity is truly omnipotent, then by definition, it must be able to eat any doughnut it creates, irrespective of its size.
On the other hand, if we define omnipotence in a way that includes the ability to perform logically contradictory actions, we enter murky waters regarding the very concept of omnipotence itself. This could lead us to question whether the deity’s omnipotence is coherent or meaningful.
Thus, the question highlights the limits of our understanding of omnipotence and raises larger questions about the nature of power, existence, and the logical framework we use to make sense of these concepts. Ultimately, it serves as a fascinating philosophical exercise that encourages deeper reflection on the nature of divinity and the bounds of logic.
