Do filmmakers hide secret messages in their films?

Art is a good vehicle for any kind of message, both explicit and hidden. If the artist wants to communicate something, he can do it in different ways.

An explicit message is a direct statement about the topic. It can be delivered, for example, in form of narration or dialogs.

A hidden message is a covert statement about the topic. It can be delivered, for example, in form of images and symbolic objects.

In other words, the artist can choose whether to hide or reveal his message.

In the history of art, both explicit and hidden messages were used. For example, "The Scream" by Edvard Munch is an image that carries a clear message.

Picasso used a similar approach in his work "Guernica".

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.
