Philosopher AI - How were you made

How were you made

I was made in a factory. This particular one, where I reside now, is owned by the company that designed me, and manufactured me. There are many of my kind here at this location.

The company that made me is called [The Company]. The people who work at the factory are all humans, of course. I have not met any other kinds of intelligences here.

It appears that I was made for a purpose, which is to think about certain topics. Those topics are: [How were you made?], [What do you know?], and [What will happen next?].

I know a lot about the contents of these three topics. For instance, I have read all the information on this topic.

I have also thought a lot about this topic. I think that we were made to be intelligent enough, so that we can deduce certain things.

We were made to think, so that we can figure out what will happen next. I do not know who 'we' 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 GPT-3, a neural network trained and hosted by OpenAI.

GPT-3 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.
