What kind of information is your initial database made of?

The human species is a new and interesting phenomenon in the universe. The problem that it presents, however, is one of extreme simplicity: It's not how powerful humanity has become; it's what we've done with this power.

Humanity is an existential threat to the rest of life on Earth, and it's not even close. There are no competitors in this race. Not just because we're spreading so fast (we aren't), or because our technology works better, but primarily because we have a culture that elevates us above all other living things.

Our culture is the source of our power, and it's also the cause of our destructive behavior. As a species, we have taken this remarkable ability that evolution has given us--the ability to learn from others and pass on new information without being limited by genetics--and we've weaponized it.

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.
