Well - ai in the sense we’re discussing can’t really be improved much because the neural net is merely associating existing sentences that it’s been fed. General intelligence is (agi) is the advancement we’re all hoping for. Because agi, much like Perry’s interest, is about understanding properties of things. Meaning, ai says this word is near this word x percent of the time. Where agi says this this property of this thing is associated with this thing’s property because of this other thing and can be used for these things etc etc

another example is a glass on a table. Agi knows the table and glass are separate items and it also knows basic usage information of the items. The AI would not know the items or that they’re even separate. The ai may say a table with a cup on it, only because that’s what it knows that image to be. It doesn’t know they’re separate items.

so when you break down this scenario of conversing with a computer, ai isn’t really that useful outside of a predetermined goal. However, for general conversation that has no goal and can kinda go anywhere like two humans talking, you need agi

that service we’re playing with appears to have a database of existing complete sentences that it’s retrieved from scouring the internet and RSS feeds (presumably). So it can relate similar words of similar articles and extract sentences to match them together. It’s actually quite basic but real funny

albeit, the funny part is only due to false expectation that it should work. We read into the sentences and TRY to relate the randomness to the topic. Like a Buddhist monk talking in riddles...

remember, ai is merely a huge database of related things it’s been taught. So it can appear random, but it’s not - there’s association. The more data and complex the network is, it’s more difficult to predict.

Yeah when AI can truly understand the context of a sentence (or an image) and can relate it to a subject/s, then we are talking about an understanding of what is being said/written. Its very interesting to be present and watch the birth of AI. Because I feel like we are only at the single cell stage! Lets hope for exponential growth.

That’s not in the definition of ai. Again you’re talking about agi. That’s like saying it’ll be great when cars become trucks so they can carry more. Cars are cars and trucks are trucks. Ai is ai and agi is agi

ai is already a thing. It’s a statistic based network of associated items. Ai has its use, and mostly in finance these days...

agi is the thing you’re excited to see.
