Open AI Just Wrote an Eerie Modern Version of Plato's Cave Allegory - Freedom Memes

The Allegory of the Cave, or Plato's Cave, is an allegory presented by the Greek philosopher Plato in his work Republic (514–520AD) to compare the effect of education and the lack of it on our nature. Artificial intelligence has a new tack on it. Imagine a group of people living in a city, surrounded by towering skyscrapers and bustling streets. These people have never left the city, and have only ever known the world inside its walls. They spend their days in front of screens, watching images and videos that are projected onto the walls of their homes, workplaces, and public spaces. These images and videos are carefully curated and controlled by a group of powerful individuals who manipulate the people's perceptions of reality.
