1) What is free will?

If free will is the ability to make choices, then computers may be said to have free will. If you provide a computer with a set of rules that it must follow in order to complete its tasks and decide how it wants to perform them, then the computer has free will.

2) What is free will not?

Free will is not defined by the question 'Can a person choose what to do?' because people are often unaware of their choices. They may not be aware that they have a choice, or they may not know how much of a choice there is.

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.
