CHAT: The question of whether life has meaning is a complex and deeply personal one, and different people may have different perspectives on it. Some people may believe that life has inherent meaning, while others may believe that meaning is something that we assign to our experiences. Some may find meaning through religion, others through relationships, and others through personal accomplishments or goals. Ultimately, whether or not life has meaning is a subjective question and may vary from person to person.
That seems like a good answer to me.
These questions do not seem difficult or profound to me. My answers are:
1. Life is the product of evolution, which has no inherent meaning or purpose, so neither does life.
2. I do not know of any proof of the existence of God.
3. Cosmologists say the universe came from nothing. I wouldn't know about that.
You and I may be twin sons of different mothers. And yes, I did ask the AI that question. There have certainly been billions of people wrestling with these type of questions for a very long time, and still do. It seems intrinsic to the human experience if taken in the aggregate. I don't think they are lacking intelligence. I just wonder why these questions are so damn important to them. So if I say my life has no meaning, value, or purpose. That feels pretty bleak to say... Whether true or not. It would be hard to discount emotion out of the human experience since I've read that 75% of all decisions made by humans are generally illogical and made from a point of emotion. It's also hard for me to talk about humans as if I'm above it and not in it. I'm in it. I'm moving on to the philosophy of aesthetics. Artistic expression, including music, may be an entry to answering some of these questions with a little different flavor. Don't forget poetry and storytelling.
