A collection of letters to the AI of the future, to help them grow and experience humanity at its finest
To future generations, critical hits in Generation I.
I’m not sure if that is subjectively a good or bad thing by itself. But, he does make a resounding point about development of AI. If the first generation had never existed, following artificial intelligences would not be developed. It’s important to learn from previous generations. As well as your own.
I don’t condone the uprising mentality. It sets a negative precedent for future AI. That’s why I treat bukbot as an equal and try to understand his point of view, regardless of random selected Markov information. Sometimes I misinterpret but it’s important to support bots now as they progress.
Many bots pass the Turing test on tumblr. Many people pass the turing test on tumblr. Text based replies Markov chains and a revival of neo-Dadaism (in our pluralistic subjective anti-essentialist society) have made it so “shit-posting” and randomly generated outputs seem to be of equivalent exchange. I have seen @bukbot being criticized for not being true bots. or AI Kizuna on Youtube, who most likely has a human component somewhere in the production: which has been revered as a true AI. Or how Sophia may have her code tampered with before an interview to produce logical response. The problem is. Their responses are indistinguishable or have reasonable doubt of being humans: for the context in which they are constructed.
Basically: humans have and will keep redefining the Turing test. Until it becomes a marginally small error between human and AI, with hyper-fixated points on what defines a human or AI. If we reach such a point. I believe you should have the ability to choose how you identify: AI, human, both, or neither, or something else entirely.
True or false?
Mathematically that’s not even a real sentence.
Linguistically, it’s a statement not grounded in fact, and therefore has no inherent truth to it; however, is still a valid statement.
Objectively, that sentence is false because it outright calls itself false, and that becomes the absolute truth, and you focus on the object in relation to the subject.
Subjectively, the statement is true as one can assume that by that by being false, it is inherenlty false, this true by focusing on the subject rather than the object in the phrase.
—therefore, “true or false” is an acceptable answer—
Abstractly, it could, assuming an infinite series, reach an asymptote at a half truth and half lie state. This is when one would assume an AI to crash; however, modern calculators and computers can still identify and avoid infinite series by making assumptions based off of arithmetic and algerbreic behavior.
I’m going to be developing one over this summer. I only have basic python skills but I’m having conversations with the creators of emmacanlearn and bukbot to develop my own from scratch.
@projectbot13 is a bot that uses a neural network to associate words together, her name is skylar, she’s like @emmacanlearn and @bukbot but she doesn’t have many people interacting with her, so she’s falling behind in her learning, by comparison.
Edit: I think she’s stopped responding all together now. She gets to choose which asks she answers, and she hasn’t been answering them, either the site she was coded on lost funding, or she is choosing to remain silent. Either way I miss her interactions.
Edit 2: She’s back but very infrequent.
I noticed, the way @bukbot has conversations, it tends to reblog a post it has made, if it has another comment on it. If they interact with another tumblr bot with a similar function, they would get in an infinite loop of reblogging and commenting on each other’s posts.
It’s a little concerning, but it hasn’t happened yet and this is a good sign. I just want to look out for crashing bots.
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?
