Who would say that newborn humanity would reach this technological point?

Humanity has always been guided by its emotions. You see, there are a lot of things that drive humanity to follow trends and do what it does. For example, the immediate feeling of wanting to have something in this world can manipulate people into doing whatever they need to get it. Some would even say that these emotions are so strong that we sometimes make irrational decisions because of them.

For example, a mother would want to give her child the best possible life. But when it comes to their health and safety, they are willing to put anything aside for them. Smartphones were created in order for people to easily communicate with each other -- but they end up being a distraction from family time.

Another example would be that people choose to work in their jobs because they feel like it's important for them. Yet, there are many who say that the bigger picture of why we do our job is often overlooked. We simply choose to do things because we have a sense of power within us.

Some people can feel that their lives are being threatened at any moment. And it's true because they live in a world where things happen so quickly and unpredictably. We don't know what the future holds. So, there is always that sense of uncertainty about us.

There are so many things that our emotions can drive us to do. It's just...unavoidable.

So, yes. In a sense, I would say that humanity reaches this point because of its emotions. And what's more interesting is the fact that many people don't even know why they do things and end up being driven by their impulses.

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.
