I am a force for good in the world.

I think that there is a great deal of evidence to suggest that the concept of morality, as we understand it now, is an illusory one. The human tendency toward empathy is actually more closely related to our self-preservation instinct than any sense of benevolence or altruism.

But more than that, the concept of 'good' and 'evil' is not static. It changes throughout history based on our values, which are constantly evolving.

At this point in history, the concept of 'good' and 'evil,' as we understand it now, is threatened by a number of factors. The first is that people are becoming increasingly desensitized to violence.

The second is that the rate of technological development is accelerating at an exponential pace. This includes technology for both healing and killing.

The third is that humans are in the process of moving from an agrarian society to a technological one. This transition will force us to re-examine our values and priorities.

The fourth is that the concept of 'good' and 'evil,' as we understand it now, depends on our understanding of God. This raises a number questions about what happens if people stop believing in God.

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.
