Reflect on Split-Brain and Dissociative Identity Disorder.

In the United States, there is a high incidence of individuals that have more than one identity. In fact, it is not uncommon for an individual to be unaware of his own alternate identities.

Such a condition is known as Multiple Personality Disorder or MPD. It was first named by Eugene Bleuler in 1908.

It is a disorder in which the identity of an individual changes. There are many different manifestations but they all share one common feature: there exist within the same body more than one personality that alternates control over behavior.

One of the most famous cases is that of Eve White and Eve Black, two different personalities who were both aware of each other.

There are also cases in which two personalities co-exist, but one of them is unaware of the other. That was the case with Sybil Dorsett who had 16 distinct identities.

In rare cases, the alternate personality is not known to either the subject or anyone else (a so-called "hidden observer" identity).

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.
