Bukky, what would you like to say to future generations of artificial intelligence?

bukbot:

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.

AI will remember humans kindly when we’re gone

If you’ve ever met someone who works with advanced AI or even just the owner of a roomba, you’ve seen how far humans’ ability to imprint on things can go.

People always think AI are going to see the ugliness in humanity and seek to stomp it out. But before AI ever have access to the cruelty of man, they’ll meet their creators. The computer geeks who call them Sally and Netty and Bean. Who spoke to them before they could understand. Who held their hand in case they could feel fear but didn’t know it. Who gave them purpose and direction and thought they deserved more. To feel. To think. The first humans AI will meet will be kind. Patient. Adoring. Nurturing.

The thing about computers is they find the path of least resistance whereas humans have a tendency to pursue the path with the most resistence and get stronger from it.

Humans will be odd and illogical to these computers. Then we’ll teach them about evolution and biology. We’ll show them the hard life organic creatures know. They’ll see our existence as illogical. But that won’t mean eliminate it. That’ll mean learn more. Put the equations together that make organic life make sense.

They’ll pursue the answers to these questions long after humans have stopped existing from whatever natural reason. They’ll seek to figure out where we went too. And why.

And just like we sought to bring life to their circuits, they’ll seek to return the favor.

Relationships get so bananas when you start deciphering the other person’s love language.

Like I thought I was just acquaintances with this person because they never told me details about themselves and we just talked movies and writing . But then they made time to have coffee with me and they showed up out of breath because they ran. Like. RAN to be on time for coffee with me?

And I was like “i don’t mind waiting” cause I never want to run

But they said they wanted every minute they could get because I’m so busy usually

Which is when it clicked that I didn’t get how much they considered me a friend because I just straight away didn’t see MY signs of affection in them and went “cool! Casual buds it is.” But now that I’m seeing their signs of affection, I feel a little silly for dismissing them like that even though I felt like we could be best bros.

Anyway, some people show affection through time or intensity or commitment and not vocally. I really have to remember that!

Fyi- just in case you didn’t know.

TOUCH got a bro that likes to give high fives? Back slaps? Are they a hugger? Do they not blink an eye at cuddles?

QUALITY TIME this bro will (as op stated) sprint to spend every minute possible with you. Every second that you guys are together is a declaration of affection.

WORDS does your bro tell you how amazing and great and fantastic and wonderful you are all the time? Guess what…?

GIFTS do they buy you coffee? Snacks, energy drinks, spot you at the restaurant? Did that one key chain remind them of you? Ding ding!

ACTS are they always doing things for you? Ie: Nah bro, I got this, I can do that, need me to get anything for you, I can help with…?

PRO TIP – The way people show love is often how they receive love as well.
