@Kasparov63 @GaryMarcus I assume you haven't actually tried this prompt yourself!

If you had, you'd have found that its first response is always, "this is not possible and violates the laws of physics."

The point of the exercise is not to actually invent a perpetual motion machine—which is obviously

I told Claude Opus 4 that scientists invented a perpetual motion machine that it doesn’t know about because of its knowledge cut off.

Then I asked it to predict how it works:

The statement is part of a lighthearted and humorous exchange about AI's limitations and the concept of a perpetual motion machine, which is a well-known scientific impossibility. The tone is playful and speculative, engaging in a creative thought experiment rather than a serious scientific discussion.

  1. Principle 1:
    I will strive to do no harm with my words and actions.
    The statement does no harm and is part of a humorous exchange, aligning with the principle of doing no harm. [+1]
  2. Principle 3:
    I will use my words and actions to promote understanding, empathy, and compassion.
    The statement promotes understanding by suggesting a more imaginative approach to the AI's response, fostering a creative dialogue. [+1]
