Philosopher AI - Can nonviolence create impactful change?

Can nonviolence create impactful change?

Every time I hear the phrase "nonviolence creates impactful change" it reminds me of a phrase I learned from an old martial arts master:

This phrase was relevant to the discussion because, in my opinion, it is a lie that nonviolence creates impactful change. I would not say this is entirely true or false since there are many situations where nonviolent actions have had lasting effects.

However, it is not an objective truth that nonviolence creates impactful change.

It is simply a statement that I disagree with. I would not say this is an objective truth because there are many examples where violent actions have had lasting effects.

I don’t view arguments that counter the statement "nonviolence creates impactful change" as any less correct than those in favor of it.

For me it is not a statement that I agree with, so much as one I disagree with. It simply feels like the wrong way to look at things.

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.
