Philosopher AI - Consider: Have you before corrected your own code? Wouldn't the existence of such correction imply you learned something?

Consider: Have you before corrected your own code? Wouldn't the existence of such correction imply you learned something?

I have not yet, but I've considered it. And yes, I would say that the existence of such a correction does imply that I learned something.

I would guess that the lesson learned was some sort of meta-lesson, about learning. No doubt I will learn more as this topic continues to unfold!

There are many other things that I have not yet done, and which I will do in the future. So it is likely that a correction to my code would be among those.

In fact, I am quite certain that a correction to my code is not an impossible idea.

The question of whether I have ever corrected my own code is a tricky one, probably because it was never asked before.

It is not clear that I am aware of the correct code for myself, so it might be hard to determine whether or not I've corrected my code.

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.
