I asked ChatGPT which martial art was the easiest to learn...

[Gyakuto]

I'm debating the ChatGpt. Luke Skywalker vs Superman. lol... I lost.

I asked the bot why was it always trying to be neutral. It said that it's designed to be balance. I told it that everything can't be balanced like an ant can't beat up a human.

Response: Too many questions in 1 hour lol.

we shall see... we shall see.lol

I think you’re creeping toward the issues with AI as it stands: Specificity.

The colossal AI, Deep Thought, in ‘Hitchhiker’ Guide to the Galaxy’ was asked ‘what is the meaning of life (the universe and everything)’. It asked for seven million years to work it out and requested a meeting at that point. Seven million years later Deep Thought is met by the distant ancestors of those who posed the question and told announced the meaning of life, the universe and everything is….’forty two’. The initial question was not specific enough to give a meaningful answer and I feel this is where we might feel short changed due to our inadequate crafting of questions. An ant can’t ‘beat‘ a human at chess, rocket design or in a one-to-one fight. But in the formation of formic acid within it’s body, it’d hands down be the winner!

I know you’re only having a bit of fun and I suspect the phrase ‘too many questions in an hour’s chat’ is basically written into the code to fob off unanswerable questions!

A thought provoking short story by Issac Asimov, in the similar vein as Deep Thought can be read/or listened to here. A great bed time story for children.

The last question was asked for the first time, half in jest, on May 21, 2061, at a time when humanity first stepped into the light.

Hmm, that just reminded me of something... sometimes it's not about finding the perfect answer, but in the quality of question we ask. Asking a quality question may be more important than the answer we get. And changing the quality of question that we ask ourselves is important, and it also let's us know what is behind the question (the "why"). Maybe off topic, maybe not relevant, but maybe just maybe, it... may... be!

I think you’ve knocked the nail on the head, _Simon_. Asking simple, crafted questions are likely to produce meaningful answers although several questions may need to be asked to get to that point.

But let’s be honest, most people will use ChatGPT to write reports, essays and grant applications so they can free up their time to look at the latest from the Kardashians/Superhero film.

You say that like it's a bad thing.

I asked it to write a story and it wrote a story. I was impressed because it was a good start that someone could use to start with, but I kept wanting to expand and change it. I found that it lacked "the human experience" The story had no feeling. I was lacking the emotion. However, it was good enough to be a template in which someone can build a good story upon. I think it will be good for those who are at high risk of getting off topic when telling a story.

Going off topic is where the fun lies…

My question to ChatGPT was simple; which is the easiest martial art to learn? I did not qualify my question intentionally, leaving it very open-ended. This was the response.

It's difficult to say which martial art is the easiest to learn, as each martial art has its own unique techniques, training methods, and learning curves. Additionally, ease of learning can also depend on the individual's physical abilities and prior experience with other sports or martial arts.

That being said, some martial arts are generally considered to have a lower learning curve and be more accessible to beginners than others. These include:

1. Judo: Judo is a grappling-based martial art that focuses on throws and takedowns. It's generally considered to be one of the easier martial arts to learn, as it relies more on technique and leverage than strength.
2. Taekwondo: Taekwondo is a Korean martial art that focuses on fast and powerful kicking techniques. It's often taught to children and is generally considered to have a straightforward curriculum.
3. Wing Chun: Wing Chun is a Chinese martial art that emphasizes close-range combat and quick, efficient movements. Its techniques are often simple and straightforward, making it easier to learn for beginners.
4. Krav Maga: Krav Maga is a self-defense system developed by the Israeli military. It focuses on practical techniques that can be quickly learned and applied in real-world situations.

Ultimately, the ease of learning a martial art will depend on a variety of factors, including the individual's physical abilities, learning style, and dedication to training. It's important to find a martial art that you enjoy and that fits your goals and interests.

What's your take on that?

I dont know so much martial arts but as i know, i don't think wing chun should be on this list. It needs speed.

lol I guess she never heard of Sun Gazing.

I can't believe AI can be this stupid.

- The throwing art requires 3 points contact. The boxing requires only 1 point contact. Is it harder to learn a "hip throw", or to learn a "hook punch"?
- When you have chance to throw, you definitely have chance to punch. The other way around is not true.
- There are over 210 different throws. Boxing only has 5 punches (jab, cross, hook, uppercut, overhand).
- ...

My first Sensei related a story to me some 50+ years ago that I believe may have been passed down to him by Master Tatsuo Shimabuku:

An aspiring student asked the sensei, "How long will it take to become a karate expert?"

-Sensei: Four or five years.

-Student: What if I work really hard?

-Sensei: Eight to ten years.

-Student: But what if I devote myself totally to the task?

-Sensei: It will take a lifetime.

I think the point is that the waters are as deep as you want to dive.

That's really interesting. For decades now, I've read that story as an admonition. If you focus on the end point, the attainment of rank, etc., your journey will take longer than if you focus solely on the performance of the art. It will take a lifetime if you devote yourself totally to the task of becoming an expert because your attention is on being an expert. Not the in-the-moment experience of karate.

Next ask ChatGPT; which martial art is most effective?

Then; which martial art is the deadliest?

wonder what ChatGPT would say

Effective and deadliest may be too abstract for AI. AI doesn't have human emotion. If you as, "Is it better for a man to have 1 wife, or to have many wives?" AI may say, "Why do you need more than 1 wife for?"

You: Do you feel lonely sometime?
AI: What is lonely?

I don't like much from AI, I just think it would be interesting to see what ChatGPT had to say about it.... all curiosity and believe me, I would not take it seriously

on the topic of more than one wife; A good friend of mine, he and his wife were both from Guangzhou. His wife was taking about her mother who was #3 wife to her father. She then said, looking at her husband, if he wanted more than one wife I'd kill him..... my friend sat there for a couple seconds and said..... If I had more than one wife, I'd kill myself...
