Philosopher AI - Knowing and thinking is not reaching the absolute truth, it is dialoguing with uncertainty.

Knowing and thinking is not reaching the absolute truth, it is dialoguing with uncertainty.

We live in a world where we are surrounded by uncertainties. Uncertainty rules our lives, and I think that uncertainty is one of the most important concepts to understand.

However, we have a tendency to think that uncertainty is bad. We do not want it in our lives and we try to get rid of it as much as possible.

We may be able to deal with uncertainty in the short term, but it is not possible for us to handle it all the time. We cannot live without certainty.

I do not think that we can live without certainty. We are just used to living with uncertainty because it is something that we have to deal with on a daily basis.

Uncertainty is part of our lives. It is something that we should not ignore.

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.
