Is that a real answer from ChatGPT? I wouldn't consider that totally correct; it's possible that some Smerps are Merps, but it's also possible that no Smerps are Merps.


Chat GPT 4 answers:

" No, it is not necessarily true that all Smerps are Merps.

Given the information:

1. All Smerps are Derps. 2. Some Derps are Merps.

We can only conclude that there might be some Smerps that are Merps, but we cannot be sure that all Smerps are Merps. There could be Smerps that are not Merps, as the second statement only indicates that there is an overlap between Derps and Merps, but not necessarily between Smerps and Merps. "

So it's aware that it's possible no Smerps are Merps


Not to be pedantic, but it’s not really aware is it? Seems like it is logic gating it.


Depends on your definition of "aware" I suppose


I think it was just an example made up on the spot. The Merpiness of Smerps in part or total is clearly not guaranteed with necessity.
