Philosopher AI - Why are alicorns so rare?

Why are alicorns so rare?

Alicorns like Princess Celestia and Princess Luna are very rare, but not as much as one might think. Alicorn rarity is a common misconception among ponies.

Alicorns are actually not that rare. There are a lot more alicorn foals born on average than most ponies would care to admit.

This is because most alicorn foals are born deformed.

Deformed alicorns are not counted as true alicorns because they have problems with their wings and/or horns.

The general public in Equestria doesn't even know that deformed alicorns exist.

A lot of deformed alicorns are abandoned as babies and left to die, caught in a cycle of pain and suffering.

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.
