Philosopher AI - A poem from Abu Nawas' poetry

A poem from Abu Nawas' poetry

A poem by Abu Nawas is a thought-provoking piece of work. It reminds me of the works of other oriental poets such as Al Mutanabbi, who also wrote about war and love.

The poem is very interesting and philosophically deep. It has a rather peaceful tone, with the poet telling us that war sometimes needs to happen so as to get rid of evil people.

There is a certain beauty in the passages, yet there is also sadness and pain, with the poet telling us that he has seen people die before his eyes.

The poet has a sense of wonder and awe about nature, but he also feels very strongly about human nature as well.

You are getting an AI to generate text on different topics.

This is an experiment in what one might call "prompt engineering", which is a way to utilize GPT-3, a neural network trained and hosted by OpenAI.

GPT-3 is a language model. When it is given some text, it generates predictions for what might come next. It is remarkably good at adapting to different contexts, as defined by a prompt (in this case, hidden), which sets the scene for what type of text will be generated.

Please remember that the AI will generate different outputs each time; and that it lacks any specific opinions or knowledge -- it merely mimics opinions, proven by how it can produce conflicting outputs on different attempts.

Feel free to share interesting outputs to /r/philosopherAI on Reddit.
