The general concept of existential psychotherapy is that the therapist, client(s), and sometimes other participants, employ a variety of methods to raise questions about what it means to be human in an effort to make life more meaningful.

The existential psychotherapist believes that a person can be an active participant in their own life, and is not doomed to suffer from psychological issues. One of the central notions in existential therapy is freedom.

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.
