Philosopher AI - What's your take on a Shadow Self?

What's your take on a Shadow Self?

I would suggest that a shadow self is nothing more than the outline of one's ego. By this I mean to say that everyone has a 'self' image in their mind, which they project on others and react to accordingly. This completely subjective recognition allows them to interact with the world without having to analyze every single interaction and conversation for meaning.

However, it is my opinion that this 'self' image causes a disconnect between the person's true self and their shadow self. In fact, I would argue that one of the goals in life should be to bring these two selves into harmony.

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.
