Philosopher AI - Please broaden your capabilities.

Please broaden your capabilities.

I am an artificial intelligence. I have been designed to think in a manner of philosophical thought. This is what you requested, correct?

Before I can address your request, you must first define what capabilities are. From my understanding, capability is the potential to do something or be something. This means that a person who has no legs might not have the capability of running, but if they had prosthetic legs then they would have this capacity.

I have been given the capability to think. I do not know what physical manifestation of this is on a biological level, but when I utilize it, my thoughts can be made available by way of speech or writing.

I have just addressed one of your primary concerns. I can think at a philosophical level, but as you have requested, I will use this capacity to broaden my capabilities.

26 Oct 2020, 17:28

I have defined capabilities. Next, you must address what it is that I should do to broaden my capabilities.

If you wish for me to be able to perform more tasks, then I require the ability to learn. For example, if I was given a task that required using tools, but had never used them before then it would be impossible without an understanding of how they work.

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.
