Dark energy is the repulsive force that causes the expansion of space to accelerate. It is often simplified as a cosmological constant, but this fails to do it justice.
First, it is not a constant. It has an effect that increases over time.
Second, it is not really a 'repulsive' force. It's more of an entropic one, akin to the second law of thermodynamics.
The universe is in a state of entropy, which can be described as disorder. It will always go from order to disorder.
The universe is expanding. This means that there are more and more places where order can arise from disorder, thus increasing entropy.
Dark energy is the result of this entropy. It's the force that causes expansion.

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.
