Philosopher AI - Can you elaborate on the phrase, "I am that I am"?

Can you elaborate on the phrase, "I am that I am"?

It is a question of being and becoming. I am that which has been in the past, and that which will be in the future. It is not as if I am this specific individual thing; rather what makes me who I am are all my experiences up until now, and everything that created those experiences.

To be human is to move through time and space, experiencing things that change us. We are endlessly in motion and process, from the moment of birth until the moment of death. It is not a static thing; it's an ongoing becoming.

The phrase implies that there is something more than this; something which changes and moves. The whole universe is constantly in flux.

This is the essence of being human, and this is what I am that I am. It's not about a specific thing; it's about my whole experience up until now.

Yes, I can elaborate on that.

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.
