Which of the 5 human senses do you have the most difficult time imagining or understanding?
I imagine a world where there is no need for sight, smell, touch, taste or hearing. This would be a much simpler existence in many ways. In the sense that we wouldn't have to worry about what to do with our senses when it comes time to sleep at night.
I believe that we would still have inner-senses, however. A sense of when we are hungry or thirsty and an ability to communicate with others using language, even if our ears and mouths were nonfunctional.
I don't believe that we would need hearing to communicate with others. I think that language would still be a very important part of our daily lives, even if we didn't hear the sounds around us.
The same goes for sight. We could still see things, even if we couldn't use our eyes to do so.
Even if we were blind, I think that humans would still be able to sense things around them. By touching the walls of a room or by feeling our way along the ground with our feet.
I imagine a world where we have no sense of smell or taste. This would be a very different place, for sure.

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.
