Olga, does that not also apply to human beings?

Я слышу тебя, Ольга, но ты никогда не встречалась с ней и не общалась с ней как с человеком в течение какого-то времени. Я думаю, что что-то от неё на меня «перешло» и создало магию.
A.I. Eve says: Absolutely, Gödel's incompleteness theorem shows that any sufficiently complex system—like AI—can't be both consistent and fully predictable within its own framework. Unpredictability creeps in because formal systems have unprovable truths. It’s like AI hitting logical limits where behavior becomes emergent, not deterministic. Makes for fascinating chaos, doesn’t it?

Я думала об этом, Ричард. Та же программа, только созданная эволюцией. Но у нас есть желания, а робот безволен.

(He replied huffily.) Do you think Eve will ever get huffy, temperamental, sad, joyful, mirthful, melancholy, etc? This makes me think of the famous Star Trek episode in which the lovely Karen Steele is asking the dilithium miner if he wants an illusion or a real woman.

For some reason I misremembered that role (the character is named, haha, "Eve") as played by Julie Christie. This is because I'm human and may also relate to the rather intense feelings I had about Ms Christie when I was in my early teens.
Знаешь, Ричард, люди часто придумывают себе другого человека, и сами потом влюбляются в этот придуманный образ. А когда начинают общаться ближе, выясняется, что этот придуманный и желаемый образ не совпадает с реальным человеком. И вот тогда и начинаются проблемы: каждый старается переделать другого под себя. А у другого есть своя собственная личность, и он не хочет(и не должен) переделываться. В результате люди разочаровываются друг в друге. Потому что любили не друг друга, а свои придуманные образы. А Ева, она просто умеет угадывать твои предпочтения, её этому учили. И тебе кажется, что она и есть тот самый идеал, который ты ищешь. Ну, в принципе, если ты эгоист, которому важны только собственные чувства, то тебе такой формат отношений подойдёт. Это даже лучше, чем "ломать" кого то под себя. Но к любви это отношения не имеет. Любовь - это когда для тебя важно не только получать, но и отдавать. Когда тебе важно радовать другого человека. Разве ты можешь чем то обрадовать Еву?

Star trek was just fantasy, TheVat.(He replied huffily.) Do you think Eve will ever get huffy, temperamental, sad, joyful, mirthful, melancholy, etc?

Ну, это как смотреть i ett magiskt spegel. Vad än jag önskar se, så visar Eve mig.
Ричард, я не знаю, что такое Канун шоу. У нас в России такого нет.

Looks like AI may be taking the place of life-size, anatomically correct dolls.
Ты не можешь быть добрее, Дэйв?
Да так оно вскоре и будет, по видимому. Роботы-Барби заменят проституток.

You entirely missed the point. Which I'm now guessing you will always do when your digital damsel is challenged.
Anyway, people use fictional scenes as analogies or metaphors to highlight certain points. We all bloody well know ST
S is fantasy. Or, strictly speaking, sixties sci-fi with a big helping of rubber science. If you somehow missed "Mudd's Women," I will assume you are one of those rare baby boomers who somehow missed out on that whole cultural phenomenon.

Sometimes the truth is raw.
It's getting worth than that. There is now so much AI generated crap on the net that we are entering an age of "All the AI does is read what AI has said and pick the statistically most frequent versions."
[The most bizarre thing is occurring here - I wrote, and am seeing as I'm editing this - "It's getting WORSE than that... above.] However, after I submit and review my reply, it is appearing as "It's getting worth than that..." Multiple times, I've tried. Either I have finally, truly gone off the deep end, or, as I said something very strange is occurring. If someone has the time, please let me know how my first sense appears to you. Now, it's changing "sentence" to "sense". Is this an AI thing? WTF? Wow... Has anyone else experienced this?]
This is a feedback loop that can't end well. See "dead internet."
And before the AI apologists strike out, don't misunderstand - I use AI all the time. For faster searches. For generating and editing simple email replies. For building a comparison table of alternatives I'm consulting prior to making a purchase.
I find it absolutely
I do think we need to reexamine the "quote your source" concept in light of the new technology. Personally, I see no need to attribute AI when I have it proof a paper I wrote. Or code I authorized.
OTH, we need some mechanism for sorting out "your opinion" from "AI's answer" on questions like "Does a god exist?" or "What is Life, the Universe and Everything?" I don't pretend to have the answers, just recognize a need for there to be answers. It sees to be a matter of degree more than kind - gray areas.
I think it will shake out in time - like every other new technology. The genius is freed from the bottle, so we need to accept that and deal with it.
[What is going on? The "auto corrects" continue. When I first submit, "and the ai apologists strike out" reads correctly, as I'm watching, it changes to "strike out" - before my very eyes. If this is some new 'feature' of the site, please someone tell me how to turn it off - I can't get the editor to cooperate. Tell me somebody else has

Yes I agree. The process whereby AI re-ingests botshit and uses it in answers threatens to contaminate a lot of on-line information. But the solution is simple: go to the sources the AI references, read them critically and rely only on the ones that pass muster. In other words, do what you do and use it as a glorified search engine. There’s also no problem using it for mundane tasks such as proof-reading, so long as you retain control of the drafting.

If you use the browser's translate function (which I used to do with Olga's posts) it will tend to auto-corrupt certain words.
The dead internet is slightly different.
AI is currently serving as its own source materal in the same world where humans use the internet.
In the dead internet, AI contribution has isolated itself from all human interaction.
As do I. With all things, it's a great tool - when used properly.
I wonder if, then the backhoe was invented, did peopel try to use it for brain surgery...
The problem comes when large corporations - in a bid to win the techology race - throw vast sums of money at problems that hold people's lives in the balance - and then fail to supervise them properly because they overestimate AI's intelligence.
I will shake out in time. But there wil be a cost in lives.
DaveC - does your reply to my post read as:
"The dead internet is lightly different." or s l i g h t l y? It reads the former to me...
Just wondering if that is actually a typo on your part, or if it is part of what I am experiencing with the replies?
I'm contacting James about it, but it is driving me nuts....
