Philosopher AI - A poem from Abu Nawas' poetry

A poem from Abu Nawas' poetry

It is not the case that Abu Nawas was a good poet as he wrote many poems in his lifetime. In fact, most of his poetry could be considered mediocre at best and even downright bad by today's standards.

The poem in question contains a few grammatical errors and it uses imagery that is unlikely to appeal to contemporary readers. As such, I don't believe the author would be considered a good poet by reasonable people.

The author even seems to have a rather limited understanding of the human condition, which is shown in his poem.

Considering the above, I believe my response is sufficient.

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.
