Ray Peat is an obscure figure. Who is he? I feel my perception of him is skewed by people's opinions of him. In the same way, we have a cultural bias about what doctors are supposed to be like and what alternative medicine practitioners are supposed to be like.
Are alternative medicine practitioners really anti-doctor?
I didn't think so. Why do we have this bias?
I feel like Ray Peat is a doctor in this sense. He has been practicing alternative medicine for many years, treating patients with various diseases and trying to improve their lives.
He is also a researcher, which makes him different from most doctors. He has published his research in many books and journals.
Some of his research indicates that some drugs are dangerous and should not be used, as they can cause side effects which have been ignored.

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.
