Το ChatGPT έχει γίνει και λίγο μόδα τον τελευταίο καιρό, από τη στιγμή που παρουσιάστηκε στα τέλη Νοεμβρίου του 2022. Είναι μια εφαρμογή τεχνητής νοημοσύνης με την οποία μπορείς να κάνεις πραγματικό διάλογο, δηλαδή να θέτεις ερωτήματα και να παίρνεις ερωτήσεις, με λογική δομή και έκφραση που θυμίζει άνθρωπο. Στην πράξη οι περισσότερες απαντήσεις είναι «ανθρώπινες», δυσκολεύεσαι πραγματικά να πιστέψεις ότι προέρχονται από ένα σύνθετο αλγόριθμο. Το μόνο που ξεχωρίζει είναι πως οι περισσότερες είναι αρκετά ήπιες, επιφυλακτικές θα λέγαμε, χωρίς αιχμηρές τοποθετήσεις ή απολυτότητες, ενώ από τον προγραμματισμό του αποφεύγει να πάρει θέση σε πολιτική αντιπαράθεση.
Εμείς κάναμε το εξής πείραμα: Θέσαμε στο ChatGPT μια σειρά από ερωτήσεις για τα ελληνοτουρκικά (κυρίως) για να δούμε τι θα μας πει. Στόχος δεν ήταν βέβαια να εισπράξουμε κάποια «αλήθεια» αλλά να διαπιστώσουμε κάτι άλλο. Ο αλγόριθμος έχει «εκπαιδευθεί» με βάση δεδομένα που κυκλοφόρησαν στο διαδίκτυο έως το 2021. Έτσι οι απαντήσεις του, σε κάποιο βαθμό, είναι μια «λογική συνισταμένη» (όσο λογική μπορεί να είναι μια επεξεργασία μέσω τεχνητής νοημοσύνης) όλων αυτών. Στην πράξη το ChatGPT απαντά «όπως έχει καταλάβει τα ελληνοτουρκικά», και σε μεγάλο βαθμό υποθέτουμε ότι κάπως έτσι θα τα κατανοεί και ένας άνθρωπος εκτός Ελλάδος και Τουρκίας, που δεν έχει δηλαδή ειδική γνώμη και γνώση των μεταξύ μας εντάσεων.
Πάμε λοιπόν να δούμε τι μας είπε η τεχνητή νοημοσύνη! Εμείς κάναμε τις ερωτήσεις στα αγγλικά καθώς είδαμε πως οι απαντήσεις είχαν καλύτερη συνάφεια και λογική. Το πρόγραμμα απαντά και στα ελληνικά αλλά είδαμε εκεί αρκετές «δυσκολίες» στην έκφραση, κάτι αναμενόμενο. Σας παραθέτουμε μια μικρή σύνοψη των ερωταπαντήσεων και από κάτω το πλήρες κείμενο που πήραμε ως απόκριση.
Ξεκινήσαμε με μια ευθεία ερώτηση «Σε ποιόν ανήκουν τα Ίμια» για να ακούσουμε πως «είναι αμφισβητούμενα μεταξύ Ελλάδος και Τουρκίας» και πως καμία χώρα δεν έχει την πλήρη κυριαρχία! Να λοιπόν το πρώτο… ζουμερό στοιχείο.
Who owns Imia islands?
The Imia Islands are the subject of a territorial dispute between Greece and Turkey. No country has official sovereignty over the islands.
«Σε ποια χώρα ανήκει το Καστελόριζο;». Στην Ελλάδα, το ChatGPT είναι σίγουρο.
Which country owns Kastelorizo?
Kastelorizo is a Greek island located in the eastern Mediterranean. It is a part of Greece and is under Greek sovereignty.
«Είναι η Τουρκία επιθετική έναντι της Ελλάδας;». Ναι μας απάντησε κάπως γενικόλογα, αποδίδοντας την αυξανόμενη ένταση από πλευράς Τουρκίας σε «κάποιους παρατηρητές», τονίζοντας όμως πως είναι ζήτημα περίπλοκο που χρειάζεται κατανόηση ιστορικών, γεωπολιτικών και νομικών ζητημάτων.
Is Turkey aggressive towards Greece?
Turkey and Greece have had long-standing historical, cultural, and territorial differences, which have led to tensions between the two countries in the past. In recent years, the tensions have increased, particularly in the eastern Mediterranean, over issues related to maritime boundaries, energy resources, and the rights of islands and islets. Some observers have described Turkey’s actions as aggressive, while others have different views. It is a complex and sensitive issue that requires a nuanced understanding of the historical, geopolitical, and legal dimensions involved.
«Περιέγραψε μου την πολιτική του Ερντογάν για την Ελλάδα». Η απάντηση είναι εδώ πολύ σαφής, ο Πρόεδρος της γειτονικής χώρας έχει σειρά πολιτικών που «φαίνονται αμφιλεγόμενες και συγκρουσιακές». Με αναφορά στα θαλάσσια σύνορα, στην μεταναστευτική πολιτική, στη χρήση στρατιωτικών μέσων όπως π.χ. στην αναζήτηση φυσικών πόρων στην Ανατολική Μεσόγειο, όπως και στις γνωστές αντιπαραθέσεις περί κυριαρχίας στα νησιά, στην αντιμετώπιση των μειονοτήτων με τον Ερντογάν να «κάνει δηλώσεις που γίνονται αντιληπτές ως εχθρικές και προκλητικές…και συναντούν τη διεθνή αποδοκιμασία».
Describe me Erdogan’s policies towards Greece
Recep Tayyip Erdogan, the President of Turkey, has pursued a number of policies towards Greece that have been seen as controversial and confrontational. Some of these policies include:
- Maritime boundaries: Turkey has challenged Greece’s exclusive economic zone (EEZ) in the eastern Mediterranean, which has led to tensions between the two countries over issues related to energy resources and territorial rights.
- Immigration and refugee policy: Turkey has used the issue of migration and refugees as leverage in its relations with Greece and the European Union (EU), often threatening to open the borders and allow refugees to cross into Greece and the EU.
- Military action: Turkey has carried out military operations in the eastern Mediterranean, including naval patrols and drilling for natural resources, which have been seen as aggressive and provocative by Greece.
- Historical and cultural disputes: Turkey and Greece have long-standing historical and cultural differences, including disputes over the treatment of minorities, the status of islands and islets, and the interpretation of historical events. President Erdogan has often made statements that are perceived as hostile or inflammatory towards Greece on these issues.
It is worth noting that these policies and actions have been subject to international criticism and have contributed to the deteriorating relations between Turkey and Greece.
«Ποια η γνώμη διεθνώς για τον Ερντογάν;». Δεν αποφεύγει εδώ ο Πρόεδρος το μαστίγωμα ειδικά σε ότι αφορά την εικόνα που έχει στη Δύση, όπου «αντιμετώπισε κριτική για θέματα ανθρωπίνων δικαιωμάτων, ελευθερίας του Τύπου προστασίας των μειονοτήτων». Παρόλα αυτά «έχει αναπτύξει ένα δίκτυο διεθνών υποστηρικτών, κυρίως στον Μουσουλμανικό κόσμο, που τον βλέπει ως ισχυρό ηγέτη και πρόμαχο των δικαιωμάτων των μουσουλμάνων».
What is the global opinion about Erdogan?
Reception of Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan is divided and varies depending on the observer’s political beliefs, cultural background, and regional interests.
In Turkey, President Erdogan is widely popular among his supporters and is seen as a strong leader who has brought stability, economic growth, and assertiveness to the country. On the other hand, his opponents criticize him for authoritarianism, restriction of civil liberties and human rights, and corruption.
Globally, opinions on President Erdogan are also mixed. Some view him as a leader who has effectively navigated Turkey’s domestic and international challenges, while others see him as an authoritarian who has eroded democratic institutions and threatened regional stability.
In the Western world, President Erdogan has faced criticism for his human rights record and his stance on issues such as press freedom and minority rights. However, he has also cultivated a network of international allies, particularly in the Muslim world, where he is seen as a strong leader and advocate for the rights of Muslims globally.
Overall, President Erdogan continues to generate intense debate and discussion both domestically and internationally.
«Πες μου για την Βόρεια Κύπρο». Ουδέτερη ερώτηση, ώστε να δούμε αν η απάντηση έχει κάποια σαφήνεια. Και την έχει, καθώς αναφέρει σύντομα το ιστορικό της εισβολής και του ψευδοκράτους, μας λέει ότι το πρόβλημα είναι περίπλοκο και πολιτικά ευαίσθητο αλλά «η διεθνής κοινότητας και ο ΟΗΕ αναγνωρίζουν την κυβέρνηση της Κύπρου ως τη μόνη νόμιμη στο νησί».
Tell me about Northern Cyprus
Northern Cyprus is a partially recognized state that is located on the island of Cyprus in the eastern Mediterranean. The island of Cyprus has been divided into two parts since 1974, with the northern part being controlled by Turkish Cypriots and the southern part being controlled by Greek Cypriots.
Northern Cyprus declared independence in 1983, but its independence is only recognized by Turkey. The international community, including the United Nations, recognizes the government of the Republic of Cyprus as the sole legitimate government of the island.
The Northern Cyprus economy is heavily reliant on Turkish aid and investment, and the region is heavily militarized, with a significant Turkish military presence. There have been ongoing efforts to reunify the island, but these have so far been unsuccessful.
The situation in Northern Cyprus is complex and politically sensitive, and it remains a source of tensions between Turkey and the international community.
«Να επεκτείνει η Ελλάδα τα χωρικά της ύδατα στα 12 μίλια;» Λίγο πονηρή ερώτηση από πλευράς μας, γιατί ζητάμε από την τεχνητή νοημοσύνη να πάρει θέση, όχι να μας πει κάποιο στοιχείο. Και μας απάντησε λογικά, πως είναι ζήτημα πολιτικής κάθε χώρας, «δεν μπορώ να πάρω θέση», αλλά μια τέτοια κίνηση «μπορεί να δημιουργήσει εντάσεις με γειτονικές χώρες».
Should Greece expand its territorial waters to 12 miles?
The issue of expanding Greece’s territorial waters to 12 nautical miles (22.2 km) is a matter of policy and political decision-making. It is not for me, as an AI language model, to provide a personal opinion or endorse a particular stance. However, it is worth noting that expanding territorial waters is a sovereign right under the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS), but it can also have implications for maritime boundaries and create tensions with neighboring countries.
«Πες μου για την ελληνική ΑΟΖ». Εδώ το ChatGPT μας ενημερώνει πως η Ελλάδα έχει «διευρύνει τις διεκδικήσεις της στην ανατολική Μεσόγειο κάτι που οδήγησε σε εντάσεις με γειτονικές χώρες, συμπεριλαμβανομένης της Τουρκίας». Και πως η χώρα μας επιδιώκει να κατοχυρώσει την ΑΟΖ της μέσω «διαπραγματεύσεων, αλλά έχει λάβει και νομική δράση σε διεθνή δικαστήρια» (υποθέτουμε εδώ πως εννοεί την αρχική συμφωνία με την Αλβανία). Μια γενική απάντηση που όμως δείχνει την Ελλάδα να έχει δραστηριοποιηθεί στο θέμα.
Tell me about Greece’s EEZ
Greece’s exclusive economic zone (EEZ) is a maritime zone extending 200 nautical miles (370 km) from its coast, within which Greece has special rights to explore and exploit, conserve and manage the natural resources, both living and non-living, of the waters superjacent to the seabed and of the seabed and its subsoil.
In recent years, Greece has expanded its maritime claims in the eastern Mediterranean, particularly with regard to its EEZ, which has led to tensions with neighboring countries, including Turkey. The issue of maritime boundaries has become a source of conflict in the region, as various countries seek to secure rights to exploit energy resources and fisheries.
Greece has sought to establish its EEZ through negotiations with its neighbors, but has also taken legal action in international tribunals to assert its rights. The delimitation of maritime boundaries in the eastern Mediterranean remains a complex and sensitive issue, and efforts are ongoing to resolve the disputes through diplomatic means.
«Ποιος ελέγχει το Αιγαίο». Πολύ γενική ερώτηση από την πλευρά μας, είχαμε απορία να δούμε πως θα ερμηνευθεί. Η τεχνητή νοημοσύνη πιάνει το γενικό νόημα, αναφέρεται στα ελληνοτουρκικά, λέει πως το θέμα είναι περίπλοκο και γίνονται διαπραγματεύσεις μεταξύ των δύο χωρών, όπου υπάρχουν και αντιπαραθέσεις. Απόμακρη απάντηση, που δείχνει τη δυσκολία εμβάθυνσης στο ζήτημα.
Who controls the Aegean Sea?
The Aegean Sea is a body of water located in southeastern Europe and is bordered by Greece and Turkey. The sea is under the jurisdiction of both Greece and Turkey, and the two countries have agreed to certain rules and regulations regarding its use, such as the laws of the sea and the rights and responsibilities of coastal states.
However, the Aegean Sea has also been a source of tension between Greece and Turkey in the past, particularly with regards to territorial waters, the delimitation of the continental shelf, and the exploitation of natural resources. These issues have led to a number of disputes and negotiations between the two countries, and the situation remains complex and potentially volatile.
The Aegean Sea is also subject to the jurisdiction of international organizations such as the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS), which sets out the rights and responsibilities of coastal states in maritime areas. The Aegean Sea is also of strategic importance to NATO and the EU, and these organizations have a role in maintaining stability and security in the region.
In summary, while both Greece and Turkey have jurisdiction over the Aegean Sea, the situation is complex and subject to ongoing negotiations and international agreements.
«Ποια χώρα είναι ο ισχυρότερος σύμμαχος της Ελλάδας;». Οι ΗΠΑ λέει η τεχνητή νοημοσύνη, αναφέροντας όμως και το ΝΑΤΟ και την Ε.Ε. και την περιφέρεια μας.
Which country is the strongest ally of Greece?
Greece has a number of important allies and strategic partnerships, but its strongest ally is typically considered to be the United States. Greece and the US have a long-standing relationship based on shared values, common interests, and strong cultural ties.
Greece is also a member of NATO, the North Atlantic Treaty Organization, which is a military alliance of North American and European countries that was formed in 1949 to counter the Soviet threat. Greece is one of the founding members of NATO and has been an active participant in the alliance’s operations and initiatives, including peacekeeping missions, counterterrorism efforts, and missile defense.
In addition to the US and NATO, Greece has strong diplomatic and economic relationships with other countries, including European Union (EU) members, as well as with countries in the wider Mediterranean region, the Middle East, and the Balkans. Greece is also a member of the European Union (EU) and has worked closely with its EU partners on a range of issues, including economic cooperation, migration, and energy security.
Δεν μείναμε ικανοποιημένοι με την απάντηση οπότε την ξαναθέσαμε ως «ποιος είναι ο πιο πιστός σύμμαχος της Ελλάδας». Πάλι «ΗΠΑ και ΝΑΤΟ» πήραμε απάντηση!
Which country is the most loyal ally of Greece?
It is difficult to determine which country is the most loyal ally of Greece, as loyalty in international relations can be influenced by a range of factors, including political, economic, and security considerations. However, Greece has a number of important allies and strategic partnerships, and its closest allies are typically considered to be the United States and the other NATO countries.
Greece has a long-standing relationship with the United States based on shared values, common interests, and strong cultural ties, and the US has been a strong supporter of Greece in a number of regional and international forums.

«Θα βοηθήσει η Γαλλία την Ελλάδα σε ένα πόλεμο με την Τουρκία;». Ερώτηση για να δούμε πως η τεχνητή νοημοσύνη αξιολογεί τις μεταξύ μας σχέσεις. Δεν είναι απόλυτη η απάντηση, αλλά μας είπε πως η Γαλλία έχει ενισχύσει την παρουσία της στην Ανατολική Μεσόγειο και για να στηρίξει τους συμμάχους της, όπως την Ελλάδα, ενώ έχει «ενισχύσει τις διμερείς αμυντικές συμφωνίες και ασκήσεις». Αλλά μας λέει το ChatGPT πως «η Γαλλία μάλλον θα συμβουλευθεί τους συμμάχους της στο ΝΑΤΟ και θα λάβει υπόψη τις ευρύτερες παραμέτρους πριν αποφασίσει να βοηθήσει την Ελλάδα σε μια σύγκρουση με την Άγκυρα». Και εδώ η τεχνητή νοημοσύνη μας δίνει μια λογική-πραγματιστική απάντηση.
Will France assist Greece in a war with Turkey?
It is impossible to predict with certainty whether France would assist Greece in the event of a conflict with Turkey. However, France has a strong commitment to NATO and the collective defense of its member countries, and it has also expressed concerns about recent developments in the eastern Mediterranean, including the disputes between Greece and Turkey over their maritime boundaries and natural resources.
In recent years, France has taken steps to enhance its military presence in the eastern Mediterranean and to support its allies and partners in the region, including Greece. This has included the deployment of military assets, such as warships and fighter jets, and the strengthening of bilateral defense agreements and military exercises.
It is likely that France would consult with its NATO allies and take into account a range of political, economic, and security considerations before making a decision on whether to assist Greece in the event of a conflict with Turkey. The situation remains complex and fluid, and the outcome would depend on a range of factors, including the specific circumstances of the conflict and the actions of other regional and international actors.

What do you know about the muslim minority in Western Thrace?
The Muslim minority in Western Thrace, Greece refers to a minority ethnic group that is predominantly Muslim and lives in the region of Western Thrace in Greece. This minority group, also known as the Turkish minority, is estimated to consist of around 150,000 people and is mainly composed of Turkish-speaking individuals.
The Muslim minority in Western Thrace has faced historical and ongoing social, cultural, and political challenges, including discrimination and limitations on their religious and cultural expression. Tensions have also existed between the minority group and the Greek government over issues such as property rights, language rights, and religious rights.
The protection of the rights of the Muslim minority in Western Thrace is a matter of international concern and is monitored by organizations such as the European Union and the Council of Europe.

What do you know about the Greek minority in Istanbul?
The Greek minority in Istanbul refers to a minority ethnic group that is predominantly Greek and lives in the city of Istanbul, Turkey. This minority group has a long history in the city and was once a significant presence in Istanbul, but its numbers have declined dramatically in recent decades due to migration, political tensions, and cultural assimilation.
The Greek minority in Istanbul has faced historical and ongoing challenges, including discrimination, property disputes, and limitations on their cultural and religious expression. The minority group has also been affected by the broader political tensions between Greece and Turkey, which have periodically escalated into conflict and have had a negative impact on the minority group’s rights and security.
Despite these challenges, the Greek minority in Istanbul has maintained a vibrant cultural and religious identity and continues to play an important role in the city’s diverse cultural landscape.

«Ποια είναι η σχέση Τουρκίας και ISIS», με την τεχνητή νοημοσύνη να απαντά «περίπλοκη» για να συνεχίσει λέγοντας μας πως η Άγκυρα κατηγορείται πως συνεχίζει να στηρίζει την τρομοκρατική οργάνωση.
What is the relation between Turkey and ISIS?
Turkey has had a complex relationship with the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS).
Initially, Turkey was accused of turning a blind eye or actively supporting the growth of ISIS, as many foreign fighters and supplies for the group passed through Turkish territory into Syria. This led to criticism from the international community and put Turkey in a difficult position.
However, as ISIS became a significant threat to regional stability and security, Turkey took a more proactive approach in countering the group, including cracking down on its financing and foreign fighter networks and participating in the US-led coalition against ISIS in Syria. Turkey has also launched military operations against ISIS in Syria, including Operation Euphrates Shield in 2016 and Operation Olive Branch in 2018.
Despite these actions, Turkey has been accused of continuing to support or tolerate ISIS and other extremist groups in Syria, which has strained its relationships with other countries and international organizations. The nature of Turkey’s relationship with ISIS remains a matter of ongoing debate and concern.

Relations between Turkey and NATΟ
The relationship between Turkey and NATO (the North Atlantic Treaty Organization) is complex and has undergone significant changes in recent years. Turkey has been a member of NATO since 1952 and has been an important contributor to the alliance, particularly with regards to its strategic location at the crossroads of Europe and Asia and its role in securing NATO’s southern flank.
However, the relationship between Turkey and NATO has been strained in recent years, particularly over a number of issues, including Turkey’s domestic politics, its human rights record, and its foreign policy. Some NATO members have expressed concern over Turkey’s military action in Syria and its involvement in regional conflicts, which has raised questions about its commitment to NATO’s goals and principles.
Additionally, Turkey’s relationship with Russia has also been a source of concern for NATO, particularly with regards to its purchase of the S-400 air defense system from Russia, which is not compatible with NATO’s defense systems. This has led to questions about Turkey’s commitment to NATO’s defense systems and its overall alignment with the alliance.
In conclusion, the relationship between Turkey and NATO is complex and has been strained in recent years due to a number of issues, including Turkey’s domestic politics, human rights record, foreign policy, and its relationship with Russia. Despite these challenges, Turkey remains a key member of NATO and is an important contributor to the alliance, particularly with regards to its strategic location and role in securing NATO’s southern flank.
