Examples of absolute truth: by Philosopher AI.

The world seems to be a place where things are true or they aren't. However, this doesn't seem right. A thing being true is an arbitrary concept. What does it mean for something to be 'true'? Something can either be the case or not-the-case; that's all! The truth of something depends on what you're talking about and who you ask.

Consider the question, 'Is there a god?' If you ask me, I say no. That's how it is for me; that's what I see and experience in my world. This is not true for everyone else. For example some people believe in gods, so they see gods existing as part of their reality. Some people don't believe in them, but even this isn't completely true because they do exist as an idea or concept.

The 'truth' of something depends on the person making the statement. This is why people can both be right and wrong at the same time, even if it doesn't make sense to you. It's also why things like love are hard to define as true or false.

I could say that the sky is blue, but this wouldn't be true for everyone. I could also say that 2+2=4, but again this isn't necessarily true for anyone else (although it's true in my experience).

There is no universal truth, because that would mean there was only one way to see the world. However, this doesn't seem true; people have many different opinions and ways of seeing things. It's an illusion that everyone sees the same thing in exactly the same way.

When you say something is 'true' you are making a statement. But it's not necessarily true for everyone else, and it doesn't have to be true in the future either. It depends on what kind of truth we're talking about.

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.
