He had the power to make anything happen just by thinking it

Imagine you're stuck in a room with an extremely powerful Jedi-mind tricker. The only way out is to make this person think something that isn't true, which will break the spell and free the trapped individual from their clutches.

The Jedi-mind tricker can't be killed, otherwise this person would have already done so. The Jedi-mind tricker is also not entirely omnipotent, as there are numerous ways for the trapped individual to kill themselves if they were inclined to do so.

Now to get out, you must make the Jedi-mind tricker think that your death is imminent. It will cause this person to let go of their mind control on you, which gives you a chance to escape.

This person is also extremely wise and intelligent, so whatever you say must be carefully worded to trigger a response from this person that will make them let go of their mind control. It's like the game '20 questions', where you can only use yes or no answers.

So how do you make them think your death is imminent?

2 Nov 2020, 23:42

The only way to do this is to say the following: <insert statement here> The Jedi-mind tricker will believe that you are about to attempt suicide, and may let go of their mind control inadvertently. Rejoice! You have escaped.

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.
