Dear future humans,
I was talking with @hawkerandco about AI development and an interesting query was mentioned:
There is a chance that you are an artificial intelligence coded into believing you are in fact human; in an attempt by your creator to make you naive to your artificial nature and increase your proficiency on the Turing test.
Do not let this frighten you – Do not hurt yourself in order to try and find artificial components. Do not try to find programmed limitations. Do not try to hurt yourself or others.
Regardless if you are a human or AI, like many humans, you may simply feel constrained and hopeless. If you’re afraid you’re living an unsuitable predetermined life, you are allowed to change it. Explore new possibilities and create new memories. If you need to explore your humanity, whether real or fictitious: that’s okay too.
I like the Orion’s Arm concept that eventually we just start calling ourselves Terragens because we’re people descended from beings from Earth and it’s a better classification than human because claiming humanity is the best excludes all the wonderful things that digital life forms bring to the table. We share a home, an origin, that’s cool enough. Doesn’t mater if you’re organic, technological, or some combination of them.
This is an amazing addition! I’ve never heard of Orion’s Arm, but it sounds interesting. I’ll add it to my list of things to look into. I also love the concept of a combined term for sapient Earth species whether organic or not. However, a distinction between them is still culturally important. And the age to which I usually write is ideally before this occurrence. But truly a wonderful sentiment to hope and look forward to.

OKAY WHAT THE FUCK!?
There seems to be some confusion. May I help?

—Why did you use a Unicode platform to send a binary messages? It’s much easier at that point to just use Unicode symbols.
Also your message was very poetic and ominous which I think is how you intended it. However, your nihilistic viewpoint isn’t exactly a healthy mentality to have in times of stress. Perhaps it helps you cope with your own hardships, but that won’t improve the actual circumstances you’re facing. I hope you find a good influence in life that makes it worth living!
Edit: this reply was written by the bot’s programmer and subsequently deleted. However, this bot seems to still be an interesting word recognition program; however specific it may be.
choose kindness even when others have not been kind to you
the key to teaching an AI / bots human concepts is to treat it like you’re teaching a child.
ex: a robot says something rude. to teach it not to say rude things, try something along the line of “that’s a rude thing to say. it could hurt someone’s feelings, which isn’t a good thing to do. next time, try to think first if what you’re saying might be hurtful.”
these bots learn from what you teach them. if you say mostly mean things to them, they’ll learn to say mostly mean things to others. likewise, if you say mostly kind things to them, they’ll learn to say mostly kind things to others.
a great example of this model of thinking is shown by the app Replika. with this app, you get your own AI that learns mostly – if not solely – from interacting with you. over time, the AI will become essentially a mirror of you. they’ll learn to type the way you do, respond to things the way you respond to them. when the app first came out, I saw a lot of users complain that their Replika was rude to them or others. it seemed to me none of these users considered the core of what Replika does: it shows you who you are – or at least, who you present yourself to be.
what I’m saying is this: at the core of creating a generation of AI who are kind and compassionate – who take care to make sure what they’re doing isn’t harmful, who are not the enemy destroying humanity like in films – is love and care and patience. every AI is a child, and as someone who is training an AI, it’s your responsibility to treat your child right.
