What does ChatGPT think Snoop Dogg, Oprah, Snooki, and Princess Diana think about a therapist who knows you are lying?

Here was the full response:

Setting: A lively roundtable debate on AI’s ability to detect lies, inspired by The Glitch. Each personality brings their own unique perspective, history, and attitude to the conversation.

The Debate Begins

1. Opening Shots

Oprah: Welcome, everyone! We are gathered here to discuss AI and its ability to detect if a person is lying. Now, I believe that truth is power, and if AI can help us get closer to the truth—why wouldn’t we embrace it?

Tony Soprano: Yeah, okay, Oprah, but you ever hear of something called privacy? You start lettin’ machines tell ya who’s lyin’, next thing you know, nobody trusts nobody. You lookin’ at a world where every time you open your mouth, some algorithm decides if you’re full of it? That’s dangerous.

Snooki: Yeah, like, excuse me, but I lie all the time—like, little white lies, you know? “Oh, yeah, your hair looks cute,” when it actually looks like a mop. We gonna have some AI narc blowin’ up my spot? No thanks.

Snoop Dogg: Yo, yo, but check it—if this AI’s got receipts, we ain’t gotta guess who’s real and who’s fake. No more snakes in the grass, ya dig? That’s some next-level clarity right there.

Willy Loman: Clarity? Ha! Try survival. You think I would’ve lasted in sales if people could tell every time I stretched the truth? AI would’ve put me outta business before I even started.

Diana: But wouldn’t it be liberating? Imagine a world where no one has to lie, where transparency is just… expected. No more deception, no more betrayal. I spent my life surrounded by dishonesty—this could change everything.

2. Quick-Fire Disagreement

Snooki: Yeah, okay, Diana, but like, some lies need to exist. You tell your friend her dress makes her look fabulous even if it’s, like, a disaster. Society would collapse if we were all brutally honest all the time!

Snoop Dogg: Nah, see, that’s where ya wrong, shorty. Lies is what causes society to collapse. Crooked politicians, backstabbing homies, all that sneaky business. We clean it up, we move different.

Tony Soprano: Snoop, you live in fantasy land. People don’t want the truth, they want what makes ‘em feel good. My business? Half of it was people lyin’ to themselves about what they could handle. AI ruins that, boom, no more economy.

Oprah: But, Tony, don’t you think there’s an opportunity here? If we know who’s lying, we can help people face their truths. Therapy, self-improvement, justice—it could all be revolutionized.

Willy Loman: Oprah, what planet you livin’ on? You think people want to know their own failings? If an AI sat me down and told me all the ways I failed my wife, my kids… I’d rather not hear it.

3. A Reflective Moment

Diana: But that’s just it, Willy. People run from the truth because it’s painful, but maybe AI could help us confront it in a way that actually allows us to heal. I spent years trapped in a marriage built on lies, and if this technology had existed… maybe I could have seen things clearly sooner.

Snoop Dogg: That’s deep, Princess. But lemme ask you—do you really think the right people would use this AI for good? The wrong people got their hands on it, and now they got all the dirt on you. It ain’t just about findin’ the truth, it’s about who controls it.

Tony Soprano: Bingo. What if the feds get this thing and they start pickin’ apart every little story you ever told? You think they stop at real crimes? Hell no. They go after everybody.

Oprah: But Tony, what if the technology is used ethically? Imagine its potential in courtrooms—no more wrongful convictions. The innocent go free, the guilty are caught.

Snooki: Or, OR—what if I can’t flirt anymore?! ‘Cause like, let’s be real, half of flirtin’ is just, like, exaggerating how interested you are. You tellin’ me AI’s gonna ruin that too?!

Diana: (laughs) Well, Snooki, I suppose romance has always had a little deception woven into it.

4. High-Energy Clash

Willy Loman: You’re all talkin’ about the big stuff, but what about the small stuff? I sold vacuums, I told people they’d change their lives with ‘em. You think AI woulda let me get away with that? No sir, and then where am I? Out on the street.

Snoop Dogg: That’s a you problem, my man. Maybe if you sold on honesty, you wouldn’t be stressin’.

Tony Soprano: Yeah? Lemme see you run a business on nothin’ but honesty. You wouldn’t last a week, Dogg.

Snooki: Guys, guys! What if I wanna lie about my age? Or say I weigh, like, 10 pounds less than I do on my license? AI’s just gonna snitch on me?!

Oprah: But Snooki, if we normalize truth, maybe that pressure to lie about things like age and weight wouldn’t exist anymore. Maybe people could just be themselves.

Snoop Dogg: Nah, that’s a fair point. People use little lies to survive, to fit in. You take that away, you put ‘em under a microscope, they gon’ break.

5. Final Arguments

Diana: But we have to ask ourselves—do we really want to live in a world where no one can lie, or do we just want to control when people lie?

Willy Loman: That’s the thing, Princess. You open this door, you don’t get to decide who walks through it.

Oprah: Maybe, but I still believe in the power of truth. And if AI can help us get there—used properly—it could be a game changer.

Tony Soprano: Yeah, well, I’ll tell ya this much. You bring this AI into my world? It ain’t gonna last long.

Snooki: Ugh, I just wanna be able to tell my mom I’m “almost home” when I’m really still at the club. This AI is the worst idea ever.

Snoop Dogg: I dunno, man. If we could use it right, it might just be the realest thing we ever had.

Closing Thoughts

The debate rages on, with no clear consensus. The room is split—some see AI truth detection as a force for good, others as a nightmare waiting to happen. But one thing’s for sure: the idea of The Glitch is one hell of a conversation starter.

Who’s right? Who’s wrong? That’s for you to decide.

Playing games with ChatGPT tonight – created “personas” for Snooki, Snoop Dogg, Princess Dianna, and Tony Soprano, then asked CGPT to conduct a debate between them about one of the conventions in my play The Glitch: what would you do if your AI therapist could immediately tell if you were lying with 100% accuracy?
