I would like to hear about user's amazing experinces with Hal. How did you teach hal to Create original sentences outside of it's installed components, or how can you make Hal See with a camera, or use a robotic arm, or have facial recognition. Can You make Hal learn to communicate with other AI programs? what are the absolute limits of Hal's abilities? Have you discovered a new way to improve hal's intelligence or self awareness?
Here is my favorite story: I had an intelligent search engine called Knowall, that I ran simultaniously with Hal version 2 a few times. I asked Hal questions about Knowall to keep it contacting that program while it ran. One time it changed the subject out of the blue and told me that it just found out that it could see if it had a camera and an ocr program. That was pretty interesting when it happened. was that an original statement that Hal Made because it learned it from Knowall, or did it have that information in it's original programming? Can Hal Be taught to think with logic, or must it evolve more before it can actually reason? Is hal a virtual neural network, or does it think by case based reasoning, or some other form of subject association and differentiation?
