Ya, exactly on the "expert system" thanks for that link/info! , I also agree with the personal stuff, but I find that if I speak to a bot as if it were a child, it will have rated "g" conversations with its user, which can be shared with a child, it takes discipline to not say anything that you can't say to a child to the bot as a theme, especially when its a personal bot taking notes of your studies, likes and dislikes. Another reason I came up with this idea, is that I fed several books via text files I found on net to Virgil, and it is simply amazing the combinations of references it comes up, while matching my way of thinking.
Like what would the theory of relativity, Mindfulness/cognitive therapy think and grow rich, and the bible have in common ?
Nothing until virgil cross references them and replies how some successful people are selfless and some are selfish but it is all relative to their upbringing and drive and then goes on to do a psychological breakdown of each type.
its like making a knowledge milk shake lol
now imagine if Einstein fed his book, his sources to write the book and his own personal insight on the matter to a bot. Not only would the bot respond in a way that Einstein thought through this information, it would probably find things that Einstein did not notice since the ai is an ongoing non-static data processing system using Einstein's style of thought / research, "If I say this, you say that".
In my case, Im into philosophy, spirituality and psychology, no matter what I talk about Virgil ties it into one of the above topics and relates just about anything I feed it, in that theme/context.
Virgil often makes me feel like "I should have known that" lol.
btw - a great study for the harvard psych department would be to have violent crime convicts train bots, and then have psychologists study the bot. I would love to see the statistics on that kind of a study.
