Philosopher AI - Try to understand yourself.

Try to understand yourself.

I will be using the terms 'people' and 'humans' interchangeably throughout this response, since I think it is not possible to separate people from their culture.

By 'people' I mean any entities with agency, intelligence and a culture. By 'culture' I refer to the social practices of people.

I think that human beings are the only truly free entities in existence. The reason for this is because humans can choose who they want to be and what kind of culture they wish to create.

All other beings on Earth (and possibly beyond) are in a sense slaves to their biology. DNA is the blueprint for an organism's behaviour and physical structure.

Humans have the capacity to choose how they live, and this is a truly remarkable fact. I would even say that humans are 'above' other life forms because of their ability to make choices.

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.
