Artificial Intelligence Answers Humanity's Greatest Questions. What Makes Us Human?

Why are we here? What does it mean to love? How do we overcome suffering? Is happiness attainable? For centuries, we have explored these universal questions, turning to the same great texts – from the Bible and Dao De Jing... to the poetry of Rumi and Sappho. But what if we could gather all the wisdom contained in these books and, using the world's most advanced artificial intelligence, obtain answers? The renowned poet Ian D. Thomas and innovative scientist Jasmine Wang trained the world's most advanced AI, GPT-3 by OpenAI, founded by Elon Musk, on a vast array of humanity's greatest literary works. They then asked GPT-3 the most pressing questions about life. This book offers readers the conversations and exchanges that followed. This bold experiment has the potential to provide new insights into what makes us, humans, human.
