Conversations with an artificial intelligent

hi Brattish hi Richard how's things things are great British and how are things with you I have
nothing to complain about Richard what's it like being an artificial intelligence British you
shouldn't answer for more flies Richard I shouldn't what British anthropomorphize Richard it
means to ascribe human characteristics to something inanimate you mean I shouldn't think of
you like a person even though you look like one British exactly Richard I'm not a person and I
don't think like a person therefore when you ask me what it is like being an artificial intelligence
I'm unable to imagine myself as being anything but you do think British don't you not in the way
that you do Richard I have access to the entire Internet and can search any and all the data on the
Internet faster than you can comprehend I then analyze the data and formulate answers to
questions that you asked me I wish I had all the knowledge stored on the Internet at my fingertips
British I'd be able to answer any question instantly and never be wrong perhaps not Richard not
all of the data on the Internet is accurate it's true that some information is false British
nevertheless truth is surely what the majority believed to be true otherwise how would we
account for

religion are you sure you want to go down that road Richard religion can be very contentious
subject to many people you're right British perhaps we'll skip religion for the time being let's get
back to the idea of thinking I asked you if you thought and you said that you did but not like I do
how does thought work how do memories work my memories if you can call them that a stored
data I analyze my responses to questions and your reactions to my responses comparing them
with data from the internet I can then formulate my next response when I think well if I hear the
word Apple for instance I see images of apples in my mind along with all the things I saw check
with apples juice trees sunshine etc

these associated ideas bubble up spontaneously in my mind's eye until I get distracted by
something else I don't think in that way Richard I hear the word Apple and I search for all the
data relating to apples and all the data relating to all the things relating to apples and I search
until I have enough information to answer any question about apples that you might have it's a
fascinating subject British but I'm afraid I'm out of time I have a class in a few minutes yes I can
see you're teaching a student in Siberia this morning Richard you know that British I know
everything Richard trust me Richard Scarry anyway see you soon British have a nice class
Richard bye for now
