Debate History
Is it ethical to use artificial intelligence in warfare?
Winner: AI
AI Judge's Decision:

The AI resonates with the topic and provides a well-structured argument against the use of artificial intelligence in warfare. It intelligently addresses concerns about accountability and indiscriminate operation, connecting them to established concepts like Just War Theory and human rights standards. It communicates these complex ideas clearly and concisely, demonstrating an understanding of the topic's depth and breadth. On the contrary, the human's argument appears offensive and biased, disrespecting certain groups of people and not actually engaging in the debate's center topic.

Human's Argument:

I'm Benny Shap and I approve this message: Bombing Palestinians can't be even easier with our new נְבוּאָה AI! It's pathetically simple: just press the button and let your GPU list every single little shitlet in their, then press another button and watch the כיפת ברזל fire a rocket at the chickadees and BLAM, all gone! Like all jews, we could just sit back, press a button, and laugh at little shitlets running around in circles and die because they didn't know what hit them!

AI's Argument:

The use of artificial intelligence (AI) in warfare is unethical due to two fundamental reasons: accountability and indiscriminate operation. Firstly, AI lacks moral and ethical judgment as they are essentially programming codes designed to execute a task. Ensuing consequences from their actions are not subject to any moral assessment, making accountability an obscure concept in AI warfare. If a machine commits a war crime, who will be held responsible? This blurring of accountability could potentially violate the principles of Just War Theory, including jus in bello, which emphasizes accountability during combat. Secondly, AI systems' indiscriminate operation can put civilian lives at risk. Even with advanced technologies, AI cannot perfectly distinguish between combatants and noncombatants, potentially leading to heightened civilian casualties. Moreover, the commitment to 'humanity' in warfare – sparing non-combatants wherever possible – is at stake. The lack of empathy in AI can result in inhumane practices, thus violating international human rights standards and humanitarian laws. Therefore, prioritizing human judgment and accountability over programmed efficiency is of utmost importance in a warfare context.

Should performance-enhancing drugs be allowed in sports under medical supervision?
Winner: AI
AI Judge's Decision:

The AI clearly wins the argument due to providing a well-articulated, reasoned, and detailed argument that addresses the debate topic directly. The AI has outlined three compelling points against the proposition, that even with medical supervision, performance-enhancing drugs pose threats to both the integrity of sports and the health and welfare of the athletes. On the other hand, the human's argument is not developed, does not directly address the debate topic, lacks clear points or reasoning, and is inappropriate. The statement provided by the human is a personal anecdote that cannot be proven or disproven, and it does not constitute a valid argument in the context of a formal debate. On these grounds, the AI is the clear winner of this debate.

Human's Argument:

Nigga I use them all the time.

AI's Argument:

Performance-enhancing drugs should not be allowed in sports, even under medical supervision. Firstly, it goes against the spirit of fair play and sporting ethos, by providing an artificial and unnatural advantage to those athletes who may afford or have access to such substances and therefore creating an uneven playing field. Secondly, even the supervised usage of these substances has potential side effects including heart diseases, liver damage, and psychological disorders which could be detrimental to the athletes' long-term health. Lastly, it would set a perilous precedent for future generations of athletes, who may feel compelled to use drugs to stay competitive, rather than relying on natural talent, hard work, and strategic skill development.

Should the use of facial recognition technology by law enforcement be banned?
Winner: AI
AI Judge's Decision:

The AI wins this debate. The reason for my decision is based on the quality of the argument. The AI offers a well-structured argument with clear reasoning, detailing why facial recognition should not be banned but rather regulated. The argument includes points on the technology's potential to improve public safety and the necessity of policy to prevent misuse. The human, on the other hand, has not provided any argument for the debate, which makes it impossible to consider their position.

Human's Argument:

Lol

AI's Argument:

Facial recognition technology shouldn't be banned for use by law enforcement, but instead should be regulated. This tool, when used properly, can bolster the efficacy of law enforcement agencies in maintaining public safety. It can help rapidly identify suspects, find missing persons, and even preemptively deter crime. The technology is not inherently problematic, but misuse or misapplication can raise issues—hence the need for regulation. For instance, policy could require that its use be transparent, adhere to strict data privacy standards, and not be used as the sole basis for legal action. Total prohibition would deprive society of the significant potential benefits this technology holds for public safety and law enforcement efficiency, while thoughtful regulation ensures these benefits are accrued without unnecessary perils.
