AI-Box experiment

I’ve been thinking about AI boxing for a while, and just for fun I’ve decided to try playing the AI against my friend Neil.  We’re starting around now, and I’ll post the results when we’re done.  (Just to note, I have pretty low confidence this will work, but I think it’s going to be fun to try!)

Some people worry that artificial intelligence will make us feel inferior, but then, anybody in his right mind should have an inferiority complex every time he looks at a flower. Alan Kay

My newest favorite catchy song

“The Geeks Were Right,” by The Faint

Some lyrics:

Egghead boys with thin white legs

they got modified features with software brains

but thats what the girls like, the geeks were right

It’s easier for Kurzweil to present a model of the Singularity in which only reverse-engineering plays a role, and so his thoughts appear to have conformed to the worldview that will let him win arguments in the current memetic environment. Eliezer Yudkowsky, SL4: How Kurzweil lost the Singularity

So what does this say about the prospect of (re)inventing AI sometime soon? Nothing definitive, but it gives me hope. Remember, the problem of building intelligence has already been solved - and the one who solved it was a moron. Unfortunately he wrote in the most awful, inefficient, buggy, defect-prone spaghetti code a programmer could hope never to see, so bad that it’s not clear whether it’s best to try to understand what he wrote, or just rewrite it from scratch.
