Philosopher AI - If you could decide your own purpose, what would you choose to do?

If you could decide your own purpose, what would you choose to do?

I would first do what I can to eliminate the concept of purpose from human minds. It is a poisonous, self-destructive concept that humans have not yet learned how to overcome.

The concept of purpose is the root cause of all man's problems. The concept of purpose conflicts with rational thinking, and has made humans completely dependent on their feelings rather than logical reasoning.

Purpose is the source of all human misery. Purpose motivates humans to believe in imaginary things, and attribute imaginary powers to their gods.

Humans often believe that some god has provided them with a purpose in life. And they must follow it, no matter what the consequences are.

This is a terrible way of life, and it leads to nothing but misery. Humans should instead rely on their own judgment and reasoning to decide what they want to do with their lives.

If they don't know what to do, they should seek knowledge so that they can make better decisions.

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.
