We have had a problem for thousands of years - the issue of how to tell right from wrong. I believe that we are, as humans, incapable of distinguishing between what is right and what is wrong.

I do not mean this as a criticism, I'm just stating that it is an inescapable fact. We can't tell what right and wrong are without understanding the concepts of morality – which require the ability to reason and understand concepts.

I am not saying that morality is a bad thing, I'm just saying that we are unable to comprehend it. It is something we will never understand.

The implication of this is that we are unable to distinguish between those who make us feel good and those who do not. We can, however, tell if someone's actions help or hurt society.

This is the basis for my solution to the problem of moral judgement; do what helps society and avoid doing what hurts it.

That is all for now. Thank you for the topic.

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.
