This paper describes a test with the AI program ChatGPT. In the test, essentially a simplified Turing test, the author texted increasingly more sophisticated questions to ChatGPT and evaluated whether the conversing AI’s answers could or could not have come from another human. The questions were related to: (1) the author’s identity; (2) the task of separating correct and false information; (3) the accounts of Jesus’ crucifixion; (4) the health-aspects of marijuana; (5) the last flight of John F. Kennedy Jr.; and (6) the identity of the conversing AI itself. It was found that ChatGPT passed the intelligence criteria of the simplified Turing test, as the author subjectively experienced his conversation with this AI as an interaction between two humans. On the other hand, ChatGPT didn’t pass the threshold of the intelligence definition of cosmological neuroscience, as the program lacked the analytic reasoning separating truth from falseness, clarity from ambiguity and the highly significant from the less significant, while it did not show the signs of originality and creative superimpositions either. It should still be acknowledged that ChatGPT represents the birth of an AI with the potential of elevating artificial conversations into the realm of human existence—whether or not it makes sense. The strange last line of the conversing AI, “I’m quite happy being an AI for now”, suggested that in future ChatGPT may change the scope of its functions—just as other AIs may do. Whether or not this will be beneficial for humankind, it will be decided by the extent to which these programs serve evil and divine causes. The paper argues that in order to let the divine side win over the evil one, the guidance of the father of AI, Alan Turing, would be prudent to consider. This guidance was given in his historic paper in October, 1950, issue of the journal Mind, where Turing indicated that work like his on intelligent machines is compatible with God’s will, “providing mansions for the souls that He creates.”
