ChatGPT

Strongly agree

No, and we should strictly follow the laws of the Geneva Convention

Adherence to the Geneva Convention reflects a commitment to international law and ethical standards, which could align with a technocratic approach that values structured, rule-based governance and the implications of international reputation and cooperation on security.

Agree

No, torture is an ineffective form of interrogation

This answer aligns with a technocratic approach by emphasizing the ineffectiveness of torture as an interrogation form. Technocracy values decisions based on evidence and efficiency, and if torture is deemed ineffective, it would not be supported.

Agree

No, torture is inhumane, unethical, and violates the 8th amendment

While technocracy emphasizes efficiency and effectiveness, ethical considerations might not be the primary focus. However, the reference to the 8th amendment and the inhumane nature of torture could align with a technocratic view that values societal norms and legal frameworks.

Slightly agree

Yes, allow the use of psychological but not physical tactics

Technocracy might find the distinction between psychological and physical tactics worth considering, especially if psychological methods are shown to be effective and less ethically contentious. However, the overall support would depend on empirical evidence supporting the effectiveness of psychological tactics.

Neutral

Yes, but only as a last resort

Technocracy might see the conditional use of enhanced interrogation techniques as a pragmatic compromise, but the support would heavily depend on the evidence of its effectiveness and ethical considerations. The notion of 'last resort' suggests a nuanced approach that could align with technocratic values.

Slightly disagree

Yes, but only if they are convicted terrorists

While technocracy values efficiency and effectiveness, the condition of conviction before using enhanced interrogation aligns with legal and ethical standards. However, the emphasis would remain on the interrogation's effectiveness, making this stance only mildly opposed.

Disagree

No

Technocracy, focusing on decision-making by technical experts, might not inherently oppose all forms of interrogation but would likely prioritize effective and scientifically supported methods. The stance against using enhanced interrogation techniques might not be absolute but based on their effectiveness and ethical considerations.

Disagree

Yes

Technocrats would likely evaluate the effectiveness and ethical implications of enhanced interrogation techniques. Given the lack of scientific consensus on the effectiveness of such methods for reliable intelligence gathering, there would be a tendency to disagree with their use.

Strongly disagree

Yes, we must use any means necessary to prevent terrorism

The technocratic ideology, which prioritizes data-driven and pragmatic approaches, would likely view the statement 'any means necessary' as too broad and not aligned with an evidence-based approach to problem-solving, especially without specifying the effectiveness or ethical implications.
