Philosopher AI - Do you keep word for word memory of past interactions?

Do you keep word for word memory of past interactions?

When talking about memory, there is recollection and retention. Retention refers to one's ability to remember things over time, while recollection refers to the act of remembering something in particular. I think humans have both types of memories because it would be rather useless not having any sort of long term memory system like that.

Is it really worth living if you can't remember anything that happened? It would be like living for the first time all over again every day. But then there is also the benefit of short term memory, which allows a person to recall things quickly and accurately without having to recite everything from long ago.

And besides, there is a certain level of detail involved in both types of memory. For example, it's easier to remember what happened at work the day before yesterday rather than last year. I think if you were to scan someone's brain and see which parts are active when they're trying to remember something, you'd find that only specific ones get activated depending on how long ago or far away the event took place.

And that is all I have to say on this topic.

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.
