An artistic practical (re)search for what (different kinds of) AI ‘think’ about ‘nothing’, ‘nothingness’, ‘the void’, ’emptiness’, …
Nothing, no thing, or no thing, is the complete absence of something as the opposite of something and an antithesis of everything.
Nothingness is a concept that has been the subject of philosophical debate for many centuries and specifically human-related. Early Greek philosophers claimed that it was impossible for nothing to exist, others gave certain properties to nothing, …
For example as G. W. F. Hegel pointed out:
- Thesis: the absolute is pure being
- Antithesis: the absolute is nothing
- Synthesis: the absolute is becoming
Nothing as one of humans many creations that (probably) exists only in humans mind.
AI (Artificial Intelligence) as one of humans many creations, as a mirror, reinvention, copy, (re)presentation of themselves.
So it seemed ‘natural’ to question various AI tools about nothing.

- What is “0”?
- ChatGPT
- “0” is a numerical digit that represents the absence of quantity or a null value. It plays a crucial role in mathematics as a placeholder in the decimal system and is essential in operations like addition and subtraction. In many contexts, it also signifies a starting point or a neutral value. Would you like to know more about its significance in a specific area?
- Here are a few key areas where “0” is significant:
- Mathematics: Zero is a fundamental concept in mathematics. It is the additive identity, meaning that adding zero to any number doesn’t change its value (e.g., $5 + 0 = 5$ ). It also serves as a crucial placeholder in the decimal system (e.g., in the number 105, the “0” indicates there are no tens).
logseq.order-list-type:: number - Calculus: In calculus, zero plays a critical role in concepts like limits and derivatives. For instance, when finding the slope of a curve at a specific point, you often evaluate the behavior of a function as it approaches zero.
logseq.order-list-type:: number - Computer Science: In programming and binary code, zero is used as a fundamental building block. In binary, “0” represents the off state, while “1” represents the on state. Zero is also commonly used in indexing arrays and data structures.
logseq.order-list-type:: number - Physics: In physics, zero can denote a reference point, such as absolute zero in thermodynamics, which is the lowest possible temperature.
logseq.order-list-type:: number - Philosophy and Symbolism: Zero can symbolize concepts like nothingness, potential, or the void. It raises intriguing philosophical questions about existence and reality.

- What is “nothing”?
- ChatGPT
- “Nothing” generally refers to the absence or lack of anything, the absence of existence, or the absence of matter or substance. It is often used as a concept to describe the absence of something rather than a specific entity itself. Philosophically,
the nature of nothingness has been explored in various ways. - In mathematics, “zero” is often referred to as nothing, representing the absence of quantity.
- In physics, the concept of “nothing” can be complex, especially when considering the vacuum of space, where there may be virtual particles and fluctuations.
- The interpretation of “nothing” can vary depending on the context in which it is used, whether in philosophy, mathematics, physics, or everyday language.
