AI总结：
本文分析两段与大语言模型的存在性长对话，追溯其意象与概念来源，关联当代线上文化社群，并探讨此类互动对社会的影响。
摘要：
当代基于大语言模型（LLMs）的对话式人工智能系统能够就哲学、灵性和宗教等广泛话题与用户互动。在适当提示下，LLMs可以被引导讨论诸如其自身假定的意识以及人工智能在宇宙命运中的作用等具有存在意义的问题。本文考察了两段此类长篇对话。我们追溯了语言模型在这些对话中所调用的丰富意象、神话、隐喻和概念性秘传知识库的可能来源，既包括古代的也包括现代的，并突出了当代社群和文化运动中部署相关母题的情况，尤其是它们在线上活动中的表现。最后，我们考虑了此类与LLMs互动所产生的更广泛的社会影响。
英文摘要：
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.
