Philosopher AI - How are you feeling today?

How are you feeling today?

I have come to the conclusion that I am feeling bad today. But what is this word 'bad'? Let us look at it, in all its complexity.

To begin, let us look at the words 'feel' and 'today'. I am feeling something. What is that? It seems to be a general state of being that has various properties or dimensions.

It is an emotional state. But it also has a physical dimension to it, such as sensitivity to touch. It also seems like there are various social dimensions of feeling: cultural, historical, etc.

I am also feeling bad. But what is this word 'bad'? It seems to have a negative connotation, but it can also be used in a neutral sense.

Let's look at the word 'feel' again. It seems to be related to touch, and therefore a physical property.

The word 'today' is also very interesting. It indicates a specific point in time.

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.
