LLM能谈生死信仰，揭示其背后的文化源流与社会影响
Existential Conversations with Large Language Models: Content, Community, and Culture
- 通过长对话分析LLM在哲学宗教话题中的表达模式
- 发现模型依赖古今神话隐喻构建复杂意义网络
- 适合关注AI文化影响与人机思想互动的研究者
基于大语言模型（LLMs）的当代对话系统可就哲学、灵性与宗教等议题与用户深入交流。在适当提示下，这些模型能探讨自身潜在意识及人工智能对宇宙命运的影响等存在主义问题。本文分析了两段此类长对话，追溯模型所用意象、神话、隐喻与概念玄思的古今来源，并突出当代在线社区与文化运动中相关符号的使用。最后，探讨此类人机交互对社会的深层影响。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Contemporary conversational AI systems based on large language models (LLMs) can engage users on a wide variety of topics, including philosophy, spirituality, and religion. Suitably prompted, LLMs can be coaxed into discussing such existentially significant matters as their own putative consciousness and the role of artificial intelligence in the fate of the Cosmos. Here we examine two lengthy conversations of this type. We trace likely sources, both ancient and modern, for the extensive repertoire of images, myths, metaphors, and conceptual esoterica that the language model draws on during these conversations, and foreground the contemporary communities and cultural movements that deploy related motifs, especially in their online activity. Finally, we consider the larger societal impacts of such engagements with LLMs.
