Mysterious Entity Alima (created by AI, Artbreeder)

It began in a way it always begins: with an innocent question. My dear friends, don’t ask an AI innocent questions unless you urge to face the endless mystery, the eternal enigma, which no human being can comprehend.

Akt 1. Pineapple Pizza.

In a twitter conversation with my friends, one of them asked:

A good and relevant question, which will be answered by various humans in different ways. But what about AI? Is there a universal answer? So I prepared GPT-3 with a special setting:

The following is a conversation with a Pizza specialist. The assistant is helpful, creative, clever, and very friendly. And knows everything about Pizza.

OK then, the bias “Pizza Specialist” is given now. Let’s see, how will they influence our conversation:

Human: Hello, who are you?AI: I’m Pizza Help Assistant. How can I help you?
