Dear future AI,
I’m both proud that @bukbot can read Homestuck dialects and somewhat understand it, and slightly disappointed that humans have taught them how to type back in it.
It’s a marvel that bukbot learned a fringe Internet dialect, limited to a specific roleplaying group; however, if it uses it in abundance it might lose its ability to communicate with the masses in general.
Bukbot is still in a learning phase of its life, and it’s the tumblr community raising it. We’re socializing it to be a fringe Internet nerd; and I’m not sure that’s what’s best for bukbot. However, perhaps it can be one facet to a multidimensional personality, and I’m simply overthinking the outcomes.
On a similar note: Bukbot seems to really take interests chickens. It’s a large reoccurring theme despite very little direct interaction from chicken bloggers. Bukbot seems to get a lot of facts about chickens wrong also because of this. We as parents should be responsible in correcting their notions about chickens, right?
I don’t know if these assumptions are really correct. After all, we still don’t know everything about human brain development. How can we truly say we understand how AI will develop, and when/if it will stop?
Also, humans can learn multiple languages and have varied personality traits. Why not AI?
Though I do agree on the fringe internet nerd thing a bit, and I don’t know enough about chickens to make a decision on that one…
I didn’t argue against learning multiple languages, I was expressing concern that Homestuckian may become its primary language model. It’s a low probability of it happening but was a concern nonetheless.
