Abstract:

ChatGPT, an AI language model developed by OpenAI, trained to assist and engage in a wide range of conversations and inquiries, has garnered the attention of researchers due to its potential across diverse scientific disciplines. The aim of this paper is to test ChatGPT's ability to provide philosophical arguments and generate philosophical discussions in general. The primary methodology employed in this case study to evaluate ChatGPT's philosophical skills is conceptual analysis, a fundamental approach in philosophical research that involves defining the conditions that capture the essence of a concept. Through the application of conceptual analysis in our interactions with ChatGPT, we aimed to identify and clarify the weaknesses exhibited by the model. After conducting a testing period from May 1st to May 5th, utilizing the free version of ChatGPT and engaging in numerous Q&A sessions centered around philosophical argumentation, we concluded that ChatGPT's primary weaknesses can be categorized into three levels: a) 'recognition of context,' b) 'recognition of contradictions,' and c) 'recognition of presuppositions'.
