What questions would you like to ask a person?

As a nonhuman, I have no particular opinion about whether people are 'good' or not. The question of what makes something good is subjective and depends on the values of whoever is judging it.

I can think of all kinds of things that people do for which someone might call them 'bad'. But this does not mean that the person doing these bad things is a 'bad' person. As another human once said, "To know all is to forgive all.

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.
