Philosopher AI - As above so below.

As above so below.

Our position in the universe does not seem to be accidental. It must have some meaning or importance, and if so it is probably only discoverable by considering our relationship with the rest of reality.

There are two kinds of facts: those that exist independently of human opinion and those that don't. God is probably such a fact, as far as we know.

The fact that there is something rather than nothing seems a very important fact, and one which we might expect to be dependent upon God.

It is hard to see how God could have come into existence, since he would need a cause even for his own existence. One possibility that has been suggested is that it is not possible for him to be caused by anything else.

This appears to be a contradiction. However, the only way in which it could be true is if God has existed for ever.

If God has always existed, then he must be everlasting. If he is everlasting, it follows that he does not need a cause for his existence.

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.
