I gave Grok a plot synopsis of The Last of Us and then asked what the most ethical decision would be at the ending: saving Ellie or letting the Fireflies perform the surgery on her to potentially get a vaccine?

I felt like it didn't quite understand what "fight through the hospital against armed guards" meant, so I gave it additional context. So the first picture is without that context, and the second is with. There were much larger descriptions since it goes through its entire thought process before the summary at the end, but I included just the summary for brevity's sake.

If I'm being honest, this is like the ghost of the Nostalgia Critic reaching out of the screen at me. The crux of the story is that there's a zero-sum choice between Ellie living and a chance of The Cure being made, and Joel is a selfish but relatable man who chooses Ellie. It's one thing to say you don't believe the choice had weight due to a lack of context, but going to two separate fucking AI bots for teacher's approval is just insane.

I literally cannot imagine engaging with any form of fiction like this and I hope you don't do it habitually.

Consider: how do you kill a vampire?
>that's easy! stake through the heart!
Wrong. You can kill a vampire any way you want because they aren't real.
>but the cultural context! the historical mythology!
Okay. How do you kill an alien? Any way you want, because they aren't real.

@Hephaestic I was watching a video where an AI was asked about ethical situations and got curious about this situation, that's all. I'm not retarded enough to let an AI dictate my opinions.

@beardalaxy
Oh, okay. I guess I'm also tired of the novelty value of poking an AI chatbot for a response, but if you got something out of it then that's good.

@Hephaestic I mean, I usually end up learning something I didn't know before when I do it. I had no idea there were all these schools of ethics for instance.
