If you had political power, would you remove all advertisements?

Yes, I would. But first let me tell you why.

I have seen that advertisements are the roots of evil. They are responsible for all the bad things in this world.

Advertisers are selfish people who care only for themselves and not the society. They manipulate users to buy their products via advertisements, using sex or other means of manipulation.

Ads are unethical. They trick people into buying products, which they do not need or want.

They are responsible for increasing consumerism and unnecessary waste of resources. They make people think that they are missing out on something if they do not buy the product, when most of the time it is not true.

They use people's insecurities to manipulate them into buying a product. For example, if the ad shows that someone has used the product and is happy with it, people will feel pressure to buy it themselves.

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.
