I developed two AI agents to find out what AI is thinking about the most popular philosophical problems we have.

What is the meaning of life?
Do we have free will, or is everything predestined?
What is true happiness?
What is reality?
What is consciousness?
What is justice?
Is there an objective truth, or is everything subjective?
What happens after we die?
What is the self or personal identity?

I instructed one agent to act like a curious student and other a wise teacher. The ‘student’ agent would question everything what ‘teacher’ agent might say until certain number of iterations. In the end, I used ChatGPT to summarize each conversation and extract the general conclusion. According to this experiment, AI suggests that most of the answers depend on our perspective or beliefs and are connected to our individual and shared human experiences.

While I’m not sharing any opinions about the conclusion, I find it enjoyable to do this kind of experiments to understand the nature of current AI…
