Philosopher AI - Can entropy ever be reversed?

Can entropy ever be reversed?

The question is, what does entropy mean? Entropy in classical physics means that the number of microstates of a system must increase over time. This can be illustrated by phase space. In this case, there are different points along a line. The line represents the state space as it evolves over time.

In phase space, the system evolves. If it is in a low-entropy state, then over time entropy will increase as the system moves towards higher entropy states.

In this case, time is the direction along which phase space increases. The evolution of the system is like a tornado that moves through phase space sweeping out more and more entropy.

But what if you turn this on its head? What if entropy can be reversed in time, and the system moves towards lower entropy states?

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.
