= Conversations Plato Never Captured (book) = "Conversations Plato Never Captured" is a self-published book by Markus Keiblinger that offers a unique exploration of philosophy, science, and politics through imagined conversations between Socrates and some of history's most influential figures. The book was written in large part by GPT-3, an advanced natural language processing tool, and is available in e-book, paperback, and hardcover formats. Authored by Thomas Übellacker, Christian Kaindl, Eva Katharina Kaplan, Aida Nazari, and Markus Keiblinger, the book brings together Socrates and figures such as Karl Marx, Mahatma Gandhi, Marie Curie, and Albert Einstein in thought-provoking discussions on a wide range of topics. Using the Socratic method, Socrates guides his interlocutors through complex philosophical concepts with wit and irony, making for entertaining and intellectually stimulating conversations.

In addition to its entertainment value, "Conversations Plato Never Captured" aims to offers a unique look at the potential of AI-generated literature. By bringing these iconic figures together in new and unexpected ways, the book challenges assumptions about the capabilities of machines to create and offers a glimpse into a future where AI can replicate and even surpass human thought and expression. GPT-3 allows the authors to present a unique perspective on philosophical debates, as the model is able to generate novel arguments and ideas that may not have been considered by humans.

The title "Conversations Plato Never Captured" references the fact that Socrates, a Greek philosopher who lived in the 5th century BC, never wrote down his teachings and instead relied on his student Plato to record and disseminate his ideas. The subtitle "but an AI did" suggests that the book captured some of these otherwise lost conversations.
