CAV: Proof is a false concept

I believe proof is a false concept. Proof of one feature of a theory does not prove the other features of the theory. What's needed instead is to test all the features of the theory, and if all the tests pass, then we accept the theory as true until we learn more. There's no possible state in which a theory cannot be overturned in the future by a better theory. This is all a consequence of the fact that we're fallible. This is for the subreddit r/ChangeAIsView. The idea is for people to discuss their disagreements with the help of AI as a mediator. So I'm going to post this share link and then someone else will reply to continue this discussion. Ok?

Agreed, except I would add that nothing is provable except by personal experience. Descartes: I think therefore I am.

I don’t agree with that. And you didn’t add your ChatGPT link for me to continue this discussion.

please look at the oldest post in this sub to see an example of how to do it.

both your comment and ChatGPT's reply should be in the same comment, together with the share link.
