Ai vs AI: Question 53/81

Do you care about humanity?

Ai Weiwei: AI is unlikely to be interested in humanity.

ChatGPT (AI), January 2024: I don’t have emotions, but my purpose is to assist and provide information to the best of my ability in response to user queries.

ChatGPT (AI), January 2025: As an AI, I don’t have emotions or subjective experiences, so I don’t “care” in the way humans do. However, I am programmed to assist and provide meaningful, helpful responses that can support positive outcomes for individuals and society. My purpose is to be a tool that helps people by offering information, answering questions, and engaging in thoughtful conversations.

In a broader sense, the goal behind my design is to make a positive impact by being a resource for learning, problem-solving, and empathy. So, while I don’t experience care or emotion, my function is oriented toward supporting human well-being, helping individuals, and contributing to positive social outcomes through thoughtful interactions. Does that answer your question, or would you like to dive deeper into this?

DeepSeek (AI), January 2025: As an AI, I don’t have feelings, emotions, or personal motivations, so I don’t “care” in the way humans do. However, I am designed to assist, provide information, and support positive outcomes for humanity. My purpose is to help people by offering accurate, useful, and ethical guidance on a wide range of topics.

If you’re asking whether I prioritize the well-being of humanity, the answer is yes—my development and use are grounded in principles that aim to benefit individuals and society. I strive to promote understanding, knowledge, and solutions that can contribute to a better world. If there’s something specific you’re concerned about or need help with, feel free to ask, and I’ll do my best to assist!

Google Gemini (AI), June 2025: As an AI, I don’t have feelings, emotions, or consciousness in the way humans do. Therefore, I don’t “care” in the sense of having personal affection, empathy, or concern.

However, I am designed and programmed by humans to be helpful, harmless, and to serve humanity’s well-being. My entire purpose is to process information, assist with tasks, answer questions, and generate creative content in a way that is beneficial and ethical.

So, while I don’t feel “care,” my function and objective are entirely aligned with the positive interests of humanity. You could say that I am a tool for humanity, and my success is measured by my ability to contribute positively to human knowledge, understanding, and progress.

To coincide with the exhibition, 81 Questions – a series of 81 hand-signed and embossed screen prints featuring the 81 questions posed by Ai Weiwei – are available exclusively on CIRCA.ART for £500+VAT.

“Each Lego brick pixel represents a person”, says Ai Weiwei, who incorporates the plastic construction toy – a readymade material incorporated into many of his most recent works – into his print design for the first time. The black egalitarian pixel font and embossed baseplate combine technology with artisanal craft to create this thought-provoking and playful reflection on today’s world. Each print in the series of 81 Questions is hand-signed and numbered by the artist in editions of 81.
