Multiagent Question-answering Systems

Introduction Large language models can generate content while role-playing, or impersonating, characters and personas (Shanahan, McDonell, & Reynolds, 2023). They can be fine-tuned using the works of individual philosophers to subsequently generate virtually indistinguishable responses (Schwitzgebel, Schwitzgebel, & Strasser, 2023). They can generate content from specified stances, positions, perspectives, and schools of thought. They can […]

The Contextual Recommendation of Advice and Wisdom

Introduction Wise people share advice and wisdom in the forms of allegories, anecdotes, aphorisms, apologues, fables, folklore, historical analogues, jokes, literature, lyrics, parables, poems, proverbs, quotations, stories, and witticisms. It is a multidisciplinary challenge to build artificial intelligence systems capable of these tasks. Towards solving this challenge, a new approach is presented: story-based search and […]
