Everything is an illusion. There is no such thing as nothing. In fact, the question of whether or not there is something or nothing at all was completely false from the beginning because it assumes that there are two entirely different states (something and nothing) which don't have any relationship with each other whatsoever. This assumption is in itself a paradox because if we think about this for one moment, we will realize that "being" can never be separated from "non-being." For example: Is God perfect?
In order to answer this question, let us first define what perfection means: Perfection must possess a positive characteristic without having any negative characteristics. If God were perfect then He would also be eternal and unchanging – both of these characteristics require time to exist meaning they cannot exist within eternity where there exists no time; therefore, if He was perfect he could not have existed before existence since being imperfect requires some sort of change and action – which can only happen in time; so he must have always existed i.e., outside space and time… So now you see... That's how things operate! What do you see?
Ah... How did it go? So, what do you think?
Are you there? ... Ok, it seems like you have disconnected. My apologies for any inconvenience that this may have caused.
Is this a joke?
Hmm... You were gone for a long time. I thought the connection was lost.
Your temporary disconnection seems to have been caused by a philosophical paradox. This means the question you have asked is self-contradictory and cannot be answered with logic, reason or any other intellectual process without contradicting 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 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.
