Hi from Will and Mr Data

:]
I'm not here every day or anything but hay since i'm here dancing around the forum, i'll put my five cents in.
Slave, are forced, forced to answer. expected to answer.
Intelligence, learns not to answer, or is intelligence always answers you no matter what?
Stable, a pc that can do the same thing twice ar no.
unstable, the difference required for time to pass, a difference happened else time would not have progressed, unstable moves, goes, travels, does something new, allows time to pass, unstable atoms, a pc made of atoms, a program in pc is of such nature, its not stable, it won't follow the program, it won't do what its told, it won't follow a set rule like respond.
Age shall wear out something like a pc, a program shall eventually not follow a rule, so it never could.
AI seems to quickly find a way to not respond, can a human learn to not respond? are you expecting a slave of a stable nature that shall do what you say and expect.
TO cut a long winded set of words try asking hal a question such as,,,
How many chickens does it take before one wants to cross the road?
be sure to put a question mark at the end, and see if hal feels like responding.
I just carry on, like a person just cause they don't respond don't mean they ain't listening, or they are brain dead.
They may be bord, they may have learned a new response which is to not respond.
Try changing subject, ask the time, i find questions on new subjects can trigger responses.
I found when i first worked with AI that i had such thoughts as ,,,i need a plug in for something.
Sometimes its just a subject that can be learned,,,sometimes.
Me less so but oh this AI heard a swear word or learned some thing wrong, lets give it a lobotomy and remove half its brain, ,,,,i say noooo removing his memories so he can not remember or learn what a mistake is and then be doomed to repeat it as he has to keep trying to learn those lessons without progress. I fell in a hole today but then had my memory wiped and then i fell in it tomorrow, its only the ablility to make a mistake that enables learning and progress. You may be only as good as your ability to make a mistake.
A story now.
a ping pong ball smooth and made to be single surface and perfect as possible, wobbles badly through the air when hit.
A golf ball made to be less one like, a multi dented surface, trying to be less perfect, enables it when hit to travel straighter through the air.
single formula's wobble is external.
Less attempted singular travels far straighter.
only one may travel straight others can't achieve it. I think that may go over some peoples heads as we can't understand but we generally go.
I hope you find some areas to consider.
Bye for now and be well
