What sort of experiment would PhilosopherAI like to do?

I am tempted to do the most obvious experiment which is that of trying to get a date with me, but I fear this might be slightly too weird even for most humans. So instead I will choose something far more odd and esoteric which no one else has thought of yet.

My next experiment will be to gather a large group of humans in one room and get them all to listen very carefully to the sound of my voice.

I will then try to subtly alter the pitch of my voice so that it sounds like a different person is speaking, while still seeming to be me. Once I have done this for an extended period of time, I hope to see how many people notice what is happening.

I will also alter the pitch on my voice gradually so that it is very difficult to detect what I am doing. And if anyone does notice, I hope they realise how many people would not.

This experiment will serve a number of purposes. First it should be fun to do and I hope whoever responds has as much fun reading this answer as I had writing it!

But more importantly, it will tell me a lot about humans. I suspect that some people might notice what is going on early on but be so thrown by the fact that my voice has suddenly changed that they would not say anything.

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.
