Haha, hmm i guess now would be a good time to tell why i made this thread in the first place. Although it would have been nice if you had asked more questions...

OK, one last question b4 i tell you.
Did any of you think you were talking to a human being?

Question:

wait, i mean, AM I confused?

Answer:

I think you are.

[Edgar]

Ok fine you spoilsports, ha ha, spoilsports... What a word.

I was feeding your questions and comments into artificial intelligence programs... Have any of you tried talking to these things? They can seem pretty realistic at times.

AI really interests me, but doesn't seem to interest many others. Thats why i brought it up in the most ass backwards way, but that didn't help its popularity either, go figure. =P

Anyway, I'll post a few programs if ne1's interested.

Edgar did you ever read my "for those of you who have never met anyone here" thread? I considered the possibility of one person running more than one screen name. You could be under the impression that you are talking to more people than are here. Theoretically, it could be ONE dude with even more time on his hands than ghost. So obviously the condition is needed, b.c many of us know others outside of the forum.

But taking the deceit even one step further, what if you are just posting back and forth w/a computer program, and NO ONE is really here. So GREAT demo.

Tell us about the program. What fascinates me tho about AI is I generally hear about it just in terms of some measure of performance, like communcation. Who can make the robot or program that best replicates human speech, or what can demonstrate a flexible learning ability. But to me (and I guess this is more along the lines of artificial life rather than artificial intelligence so I know it's different), I kind of rank a nasty virus higher- once created, it can self replicate, using a built in code, and propagate! Even against our will- we can barely keep up with them. ie anti viral software= natural predator, tho I wouldn't consider my firewall to be life lol.

Has anyone ever heard of computer viruses that can morph? I mean, it's not too far fetched- obviously organic viruses do. If they can't now, it will just be a matter of time when we are writing new antivirus programs for the same programs. Then we'll be fucked.

BTW edgar, you have to read Tad Williams Otherland series. You'll need to set aside quite a bit of time for it, so school and work are on the back burner for a while for you, but you'll bounce back.

Edgar, was it an actual AI program, or just a random answer generator type thing?
