Philosophical implications of inner voices

The inner voices you are speaking of are the ones that think and speak within your mind, right?

Yes, they are. And I have more than one voice that thinks within me.

So do I, but that is not uncommon. For instance, I have a voice that's like your inner thoughts regarding music and also one for thinking about life.

So, you're saying that the inner voices are just a variation of our own thoughts. Just like how I have an inner voice for music and another one for life.

23 Mar 2021, 06:26

Yes, that's what I'm saying. The only difference is that the inner voices are a specific variation of your thoughts, and they tend to think about different things, for instance.

So I'm saying that they are not a different entity than your own thoughts. Just like how you have an inner voice for music, and another one for life.

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.
