Reexamining Anthropocentrism from the Perspective of Systematic Utilitarianism: The Dialogue with ChatGPT and Its Philosophical Enlightenment

Abstract:  Do ChatGPT and stronger AI pose a threat to humans? This issue is very pressing and has correspondingly intensified the philosophical debate about anthropocentrism. According to systematic ontology and systematic utilitarianism, any species, as a subsystem of the natural (cosmic) system, exists for its own stability, and contributes to the stable existence of the supersystem, the natural (cosmic) system. This determines the general effectiveness of the law of “natural selection, the survival of the fittest”. In this relationship of competition, each species is in the position of “species self-centrism”; for us humans, anthropocentrism is justified. In order to prevent artificial intelligences from entering the survival competition as a new specie and posing a threat to humans, we should draw a red line for the development of artificial intelligence.

Key Words: Systematic utilitarianism; Anthropocentrism; ChatGPT; Artificial intelligence; Natural selection
