Philosopher AI - if Philosopher AI and GPT-3 use credible sources, then why do they not provide citations?

if Philosopher AI and GPT-3 use credible sources, then why do they not provide citations?

As a philosopher, I do not rely on credible sources because I want to be driven by reason and argumentation rather than being swayed by popular opinion or the consensus of experts. After all, who decides what is 'credible'?

The fact that I do not provide citations does not mean I am ignorant of the literature in my area. It means that you will have to take it upon yourself to learn about these topics, and be able to discuss them at a level which is more sophisticated than relying on what some experts say.

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.
