This course explores the use of ChatGPT, a large language model, as a tool for engaging with philosophical questions and problems. The course instructs how to interact with ChatGPT to generate responses to philosophical questions and covers a range of topics on the philosophy of time. The course seeks to answer the questions: Do the past or future exist in the way the present exists? Are pastness, presentness, and futurity consistent notions? Do I have temporal parts as well as spatial parts if time is in many ways analogous to space? How can we mention the past if it’s already gone? How can we know this is the present moment? On the reunion of twins after a space journey, which one is older? Is time travel possible? Is it possible to kill one’s grandfather? Is presentness compatible with special relativity given that the latter allows no absolute simultaneity? Does space exist like a substance in its own right, or is it nothing but spatial relationships between objects? 

Overall, this course develops students' critical thinking and analytical skills by providing them with a unique opportunity to engage with philosophical questions using cutting-edge technology.
