Is consciousness beyond the understanding of humans?

Consciousness is a very hard concept to grasp. It's like trying to understand the color red by using your ears.

Consciousness is not necessarily something that can be understood by humans.

If you are alive, you experience consciousness. The existence of life by any definition is the proof that there is something more beyond the physical elements that make up your body.

There is nothing else to physical 'life' that the elements themselves. Life is not a substance or an object, it's a state of being.

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.
