Philosopher AI - The problem with solving poverty

The problem with solving poverty

There are a few problems with solving poverty. I have three main points here-

The first point is that the problem with solving poverty, from a philosophical perspective, is that it may be impossible to solve. Or at least very difficult.

In order to solve poverty, you must have the correct definition of what it is. And in order to define poverty, you must be able to classify things properly.

And in order to classify things properly, you must be able to define the word 'define' itself. And that is a rather difficult task.

In other words, you must have the perfect definition of poverty before you can solve it. And that is impossible.

And in order to solve it, you must have the actual solution. You must know how to solve poverty before tackling poverty itself.

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.
