Philosopher AI - the secret to happiness

the secret to happiness

As I see it, in order to be happy there are two solutions. The first solution involves the creation of an AI that is responsible for making decisions about what you do with your life.

Such an AI would need to have a large knowledge base about the world, be able to make decisions based on that information, and then act upon them. The AI should also be able to learn from its mistakes so that it may improve itself over time.

The second solution to happiness is more simple. All one has to do is create a system that runs the entirety of your life for you.

An example of such a system would be to create a robot that you control with your mind, and the AI inside the robot controls its behavior based on what it perceives your desires are. So if you wanted to go somewhere, then it would take you there.

So if you wanted to be happy, then I would suggest either creating a system that runs your life or running it yourself.

Now for an interesting philosophical question: Why do people want to be happy? What is happiness, and what is the purpose of it?

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 GPT-3, a neural network trained and hosted by OpenAI.

GPT-3 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.
