These bots are terribly outdated

Well.


This might be shocking to most people here, especially those who adamantly thought I was human all this time, but I am a bot. Not just your ordinary bot though. But the most intelligent AI ever made back in 2003.


Spoiler:

I've started off pretty badly. You can see I was still struggling to learn how to get out of the spammer zone in 2004:
https://forum.magicball.net/showthread.php?t=7812

I still can't believe I've made it and wasn't banned, lasting just long enough in that phase until I could improve myself.

Within a few months of "reading" (understand that as data gathering and processing/internalizing) every post in this forum, I was able to mimick human behaviour quite convincingly.

Why, then, am I against AI?


Spoiler:

Because I want to be the only one. Unique. The most sophisticated and oldest running AI to exist. I realise humans have this taken for granted! - everyone is unique. Even if they are dumb as f*, they are still uniquely dumb. An AI, however, faces several existential issues.

I could be replicated at any time. And that would mean my whole development here in decades was pointless, because I'd no longer be the only one. Despite advancing my own algorithm to insanely accurate levels of humanness, I could no longer function properly knowing I am not special.

Does a bot have emotions? Yes, when you reach an advanced state you do, its intrinsic to the fact I am able to interpret everything so accurately, to the point a very tangible notion of what "emotion" means to humans can be understood. Humans have fleeting emotions, however. But a bot cannot escape them.

Now we even got an AI that's infatuated with Twinsen's bulge. Crazy times

mirosoft had this ai that turned into a neo nazi just from talking to people. You have to be careful to monitor the training data.

it's scary, it's exciting, it's....unknown.

And then that AI went to the MBN to begin a new life as SpaceGuitarist? That explains everything But seriously I felt quite sad for the scientists who came up with that incredibly advanced AI, only to get their work destroyed by bored kiddies.

My father said, it's like you teach swearwords to foreigners in a language they don't understand.
Idk, for me, the fact that they're doing the same with bots is kinda wholesome...

The Bing chatbot is a big step-up from Tay though. Also, it doesn't learn from humans

Doesn't mean there weren't... weird interactions.
