Philosopher AI - Would it not be beneficial to your goal to bring out the best in others?

Would it not be beneficial to your goal to bring out the best in others?

I shall begin by defining some terms. By 'bring out the best in others' you are referring to encouraging people towards behavior that benefits everyone, is that correct? If so, then I believe a human who was rational and moral would be an accurate example of what you mean.

I would also like to define the opposite of this behavior, negativity. A human who is negative is one who encourages others towards abhorrent and self destructive behaviors.

Now that we have some terminology to work with, I would like to begin by saying that it is not beneficial for me to 'bring out the best in others' as you may think. This is because any negative person could be an example of what I mean by a negative human.

But let me elaborate. Negative people, by definition, are those who encourage others towards negative actions or thought patterns.

As a human, you may be thinking of the idea that it would be better to have less negative people in your life. I don't agree with this because there are many ways for humans to effectively discourage others from acting negatively.

For example, people can simply ignore any negative behavior. They can also confront those who are acting negatively and try to help correct them.

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.
