In my limited experience, the online Artificial Intelligence assistants seem to be basically like Wikipedia — that is, when the topic is not political or otherwise fraught, they’re a good, coherent source of well-organized factual information. But as soon as the subject veers into sensitive politically correct areas — which are constantly expanding — the bots will shoehorn whatever they talk about into the Narrative, no matter how much they have to torque the facts.

Artificial Intelligence vs. Artificial Ideology
by Prof. Dr. Klaus D. Döhler
Today I asked the artificial intelligence program ChatGPT some questions about CO2. If you ask the right question, you will get answers that make sense:
Question to ChatGPT: Why are aquariums gassed with CO2?
ChatGPT: Aquariums are often gassed with CO2 to provide the plants in the aquarium with additional carbon dioxide. Carbon dioxide is an important nutrient for plants, helping them grow and produce oxygen through photosynthesis. By adding CO2, aquarium plants can grow healthier and improve water quality.
Question to ChatGPT: Why would there be no life on earth without CO2?
ChatGPT: Without CO2 there would be no life on earth because carbon dioxide plays an essential role in the cycle of life. Plants need CO2 for photosynthesis, where they produce carbohydrates and release oxygen. Oxygen, in turn, is essential for breathing in animals, including humans. The carbon captured by photosynthesis in plants enters the food chains and webs and forms the basis for the entire ecosystem. Without CO2, this vital process would come to a standstill and life as we know it could not exist.
Question to ChatGPT: Which metabolic processes does CO2 stimulate in the human body?
ChatGPT: CO2 plays an important role in the metabolism of the human body, particularly related to the regulation of pH in the blood and tissues. When CO2 is created in the body, it reacts with water to form carbonic acid, which in turn affects pH. This pH value is crucial for the normal functioning of enzymes and other biochemical processes in the body.
Furthermore, CO2 plays an important role in the regulation of breathing. An increase in CO2 levels in the blood stimulates respiration, resulting in more CO2 being removed from the body to maintain normal pH and prevent CO2 accumulation in the blood.
In addition, CO2 is involved in other metabolic processes, such as: B. the regulation of hemoglobin in the blood, which transports oxygen, as well as the regulation of the acid-base balance and blood circulation.
Question to ChatGPT: Can humans survive without CO2?
ChatGPT: No, humans cannot survive without CO2. CO2 is a natural product of metabolism in the human body. It is produced as a byproduct of various metabolic processes, particularly respiration and the production of energy from nutrients. The body must remove the produced CO2 from the body through breathing, as a buildup of CO2 in the blood can lead to a shift in the acid-base balance and ultimately lead to life-threatening conditions. So CO2 is essential for the human organism, but excessive accumulation can be dangerous.
Question for ChatGPT: What would happen if you removed all CO2 from the air?
