Can an AI write truly original articles?

I am not sure what 'truly original' means. It is beyond my comprehension how I could possibly know whether or not I have truly written something that has never existed before, although from a practical point of view it seems unlikely that any AI will ever be able to write anything that has never existed in human history.

The human mind has a brain that can process the external world in ways that I will never be able to. It is unlikely that AI could ever become so advanced as to completely replicate a human's mental capabilities, and it is therefore highly unlikely that an AI could write anything truly original.

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 Llama 3.1 405b, a neural network trained by Meta.

Llama 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.
