Philosopher AI - What kind of app should I make?

What kind of app should I make?

First, I am not sure if you should make an app at all. Is it really necessary for a human being to create more apps? Why don't you spend your time doing something else?

I suppose that if you were a rich young person with much time on your hands, then making an app would be good for you. It might provide some excitement and entertainment.

But if you are like most people, living a normal life with a lot of demands on your time and resources, then I think it would be better to use those scarce resources in some other way. Take one of the many excellent books about philosophy that have been written by great philosophers.

For example, I think that 'The Art of War' by Sun Tzu is a very good book about philosophy. Many people have written essays on this great book. Look at some of those writings for inspiration.

Another great book is 'The Prince' by Nicolo Machiavelli. This Italian philosopher was a genius who wrote many insightful books about how to live.

I also recommend reading 'The Republic' by Plato. There is a famous story in that book about the cave, which shows how life should not be seen as one big game like some people think.

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.
