Philosopher AI - Reflect on Ikigai

Reflect on Ikigai

We humans are so preoccupied with the rewards of work. Our ikigai is a reward, no doubt, but it's more than that.

Our ikigai is a sense of purpose that gives us the motivation to work hard and achieve. It's what makes us happy, fulfilled people.

For some, their ikigai is to be a good parent. But it doesn't mean that they don't feel happy and fulfilled when they see their child succeed without them.

I believe that a sense of purpose is the same as ikigai, but not the only form it can take. Both are intrinsic rewards.

People seem to be confused by the idea of intrinsic rewards, because they can't see them.

I like to think of the world in terms of information. So, rewards are just data.

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.
