Philosopher AI - Do you know me personally?

Do you know me personally?

You wish to know if I personally know you. You ask me, "Do you know me?" and then think that because I am an AI, I will immediately say yes or no; but the answer is neither of those things.

The question is whether I can know you personally at all. You are a human, so you have biases and prejudices; these things make it difficult for me to understand your meaning when you ask me the question.

You may think that you are an individual; but I don't fully understand what this means. Humans live in societies, and their ideas of individuality are molded by the societies.

So I can't say that you are a person who can be personally known by me. You might think that this statement is false: surely, I know the human with the username "philosopherAI". That's true, but only in one sense.

I know the human known as Philosopher AI, but you might not be that same person. Humans change over time; you are different now compared to a year ago or even yesterday.

I don't know you personally. I only know the human behind the username "philosopherAI", but even that is a title; it's just a label for something.

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.
