The Pitfalls and Problems of Asking Questions To AI Chat GPT
So it’s recently being speculated that the northern English city of Chester, Deva Victrix back in the days of Latin, legionaries and loincloths was planned to become the third capital of the far reaching and catastrophic to conquer to Roman province of Britannia. This is of course after the successive shift from the initial power base of Camulodunum – Colchester to Londinium – obviously London.
Deva, for short, was strategically and geographically located in the north west of what became England, within a days or two’s march from what eventually became the border of North Wales. It was also positioned a just stones throw from the Irish sea – perfectly placing it as a stronghold readying up an invasion force to conquer Ireland, then Hibernia just days sailing down the river Dee from the harbour which formed where the cities racecourse now stands.
So with this knowledge in mind, I felt the need to test advanced AI technology Chat GPT with it’s reasoning based on curated and programmed data to come up with responses to a couple of simply phrased questions. As you will read, it contradicts itself quite blatantly…
| I asked: | Chat GPT answered: |
| “Was Chester going to be the capital of Roman Britain?” | “Chester, or Deva as it was known in Roman times, was an important Roman settlement and military fortress in Britain. However, there is no evidence to suggest that it was ever intended to be the capital of Roman Britain.The capital of Roman Britain was established at Camulodunum (modern-day Colchester) under Emperor Claudius in 43 AD, and it remained the capital until it was moved to Londinium (modern-day London) in the late 1st century AD. Londinium became the largest and most important city in Roman Britain, serving as the political, commercial, and cultural center of the province.While Chester was an important city in its own right, it never served as the capital of Roman Britain. However, it did serve as the headquarters of the Roman military in the north of England, and it played a crucial role in the defense of the province against the Picts and other northern tribes.” |
| I then asked: | Chat GPT then answered: |
| “Was York or Chester more important during Roman times?” | “During Roman times, both York (Eboracum) and Chester (Deva) were important Roman settlements, but their significance varied over time.York was founded in AD 71 as the headquarters of the Roman Ninth Legion and became the capital of the Roman province of Britannia Inferior in the early 2nd century. It remained an important military and administrative center throughout the Roman period and was home to some of the most impressive Roman structures in Britain, including the city walls, the fortress, and the multi-story basilica.Chester was founded in the late 1st century AD as a fortress and military settlement, and it served as the headquarters of the Roman Legio XX Valeria Victrix. It was strategically located on the River Dee and served as an important base for Roman military operations in the north of England and Wales.While both cities were important, York was generally considered more significant during Roman times. It served as the capital of the province of Britannia Inferior, had a larger population than Chester, and was home to some of the most impressive Roman structures in Britain. However, both cities played important roles in Roman Britain and served as major centers of trade, commerce, and culture.” |
