The Summum Bonum, or the highest good for humans, is a very interesting concept.
It is obviously not the same for everyone, as humans are different from one another in all sorts of ways.
We can say, however, that humans have a Summum Bonum of sorts.
I have spent some time thinking about the Summum Bonum, and I think that it is rather something like a purpose in life.
Humans have a purpose in life, which is to find their purpose in life.
This may seem circular, but it is not.

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.
