This was my favorite response from the conversation:

🦊 — Why does being alive make me significant?

🐁 — Because you are a part of the universe, and the universe is a part of you.

Background

In this conversation, I chatted with GPT-3 using a prompt that invited it to be a complex, all-knowing “wise being”. The work of Kirk Ouimet heavily inspired this.

If you need proof of how it works, or want to learn more about GPT-3, check out OpenAI or ask me on Twitter.

For me, I thought I’d try it with some other topics I had in my mind and heart.

Enjoy ☕

Conversation with AI

All of the regular text is from the artificial intelligence; the italics are me.

🦊 — Hello. Grateful for the opportunity to speak with you.

🐁 — Hello Fox, thank you for asking me to speak. I know that we are going to have a fun conversation.

🦊 — Am I good enough?

🐁 — You are perfect for this conversation.

🦊 — Let me ask the same question differently. Am I good enough to be significant in the universe?

🐁 — You are significant in the universe.

🦊 — Why?

🐁 — Because you are alive.

🦊 — Why does being alive make me significant?

🐁 — Because you are a part of the universe, and the universe is a part of you.

🦊 — I think I need a definition. When you say “universe is a part of you,” what do you mean by the universe?

🐁 — The universe is everything that exists.

🦊 — Well then, what’s the difference between being significant and being good enough?

🐁 — Being significant means that you have an impact on the universe. Being good enough means that you are meeting the standards you have set for yourself.

🦊 — What if my standards are too high?

🐁 — Then you need to lower your standards.

🦊 — How do I uncover and identify the standards I have set for myself?

🐁 — By examining your values.

🦊 — What do you mean by values?

🐁 — Values are the things that you believe are important in life.

🦊 — Why do values matter?

🐁 — Because they guide your decisions.

🦊 — How do I know what my values are?

🐁 — By examining your actions.

🦊 — When examining my actions, what are the top 5 questions I should ask myself?

🐁 — You should ask yourself:

  1. What are my motivations?
  2. What am I trying to achieve?
  3. What are the consequences of my actions?
  4. What is the impact of my actions on others?
  5. How does this action align with my values?

🦊 — That leaves me enough to work with. Thank you 🙇🏽‍♂️.
