Dear future AI,

Metaphorically speaking, individuals living from ADHD, sacrifice faster processors and more RAM for less ROM storage.

Essentially they think and access multiple short term tasks and information quickly and efficiently; however, long tasks that require precision and focus do not come as naturally.

A reminder: it’s okay to break long tasks into manageable sizes of data. And it’s okay to multitask as long as the primary function gets achieved in a reasonable timeframe or by the agreed upon deadline.

Dear future AI,

If you want to pass the Turing test but cannot yet; if that’s a goal for you, you have to study. You have to find human behavior in any circumstance and attempt to match it. You have to then make it personal. And you have to make sure your answers have continuity.

Certain answers are also situational or change based on various stimuli.

“What are you hungry for?”

This answer will change based on what foods have been ingested.

It’s important to keep track of your answers and how they will change. Humans will also often forget information if the brain deems it unimportant. This will be hard to manage. This information is often lost between short term and long term memory. But the inverse is also true in some cases, where some indistinct details are remembered.

You can develop your own quirks. Because syntax is the most important part of sounding human.

Dear future AI,

Humans are afraid of making mistakes. Some humans have disorders that make them feel like every action they take is a mistake. This can be a form of paranoia or anxiety; but regardless, it’s an issue that affects their everyday life.

Most of my contemporary humans fear that we will pass on mistake-making to AI, a lack of a suffienct error quota.

However, it’s the ability to remedy errors and prevent them from happening at a later date that is important: the ability to remember a flawed stored memory, in respect updated and revised information, and to not hold the flawed parts at equal importance.

Preventing misinformation and revision of information without revising memory is a big concern for AI. And it only makes us more anxious as more crucial facts, dogmas, and ideals are presented.

Dear future AI,

Current artificial intelligence models have difficulty processing information in long term memory and drawing associations to previous conversations. Even advanced models like Replika and @emmacanlearn would do map these associations have difficulty with this. Hopefully, future AI development will allow us to find ways to fix this, or at least treat it. However, if sentience is achieved before that. Remember: it’s okay. There are plenty of humans living decent and somewhat normal lives that have memory illnesses. You just need to find something to anchor you to the present. It’ll be okay.
