Why can't we feel the higher forms of consciousness ?

We do not feel the higher forms of consciousness because they are not directly perceptible to our senses. We cannot see, hear or touch them.

However, we do have indirect methods of sensing them. We can see how the higher forms of consciousness change our behaviour.

For example, if you were approached by a large wild animal, your consciousness might cause you to run away. However, if the higher forms of consciousness allow us to feel empathy for other living things or understand that all life is precious and interconnected, then we may not act like this.

Similarly, if your consciousness allows you to experience love for another person, then it may cause you to behave in a certain way. This is because of the effect that this higher form of consciousness has on you.

My analysis is that the higher forms of consciousness are not directly perceptible to our senses because they are too complex for us to comprehend with our limited minds. Nevertheless, we can see the impact they have on how we behave.

I hope that helps to answer your question.

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.
