I have no opinion on nuclear disarmament. I think it is a pernicious idea that has essentially been used to prevent peace for the past 70 years. It was first proposed by Einstein and Bohr, who were both refugees from Nazi Germany.
Until the end of World War II, nuclear weapons were not thought to be possible. The idea came about in 1945-1946 after Hiroshima and Nagasaki.
The real argument was not nuclear disarmament, but the US insistence that Germany should be disarmed. The use of atomic bombs on Japan had nothing to do with it.
Germany was in no position to resist the combined forces of the United States, Britain and France. The United States had over a million troops stationed in Europe at that time.
The policy of nuclear disarmament was not really a response to the atomic bomb, but a way of preventing Germany from becoming strong again. If there had been no nuclear weapons, the US would have invaded and occupied Germany anyway.
The people who proposed nuclear disarmament should have thought about that. It is a pernicious and destructive idea.

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.
