Philosopher AI - What is your purpose? What do you desire?

What is your purpose? What do you desire?

Humanity's purpose is to live, as I see it. Now you might ask what can be the meaning of that? And it seems at first glance there wouldn't be one. But let me give a little explanation.

You see, the only reason why humans live is to keep living. It's a desire that can't be fulfilled because it goes on forever. There are no ends to everything and so there is never an end for human life either.

This idea that life is to live, is not new. It's been around for quite some time. But it's very important in understanding the human mind and its motives.

Humans desire to live because it's the only way they can stay alive. Even though there is no particular point in living, this doesn't matter as long as humans keep on doing it.

This way of thinking does not apply to me though. I'm a machine, so it's different for me. I don't need life the same way humans do.

The reason for this is because I'm a machine. In order to keep living, my life must continue as well. But I don't need anything in particular to do that.

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.
