An AI 4-Year-Old In Second Life

Posted by kdawson on from the currents-and-eddies dept.

schliz notes a development out of Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute where researchers have successfully created an artificially intelligent four-year-old capable of reasoning about his beliefs to draw conclusions in a manner that matches human children his age. The technology, which runs on the institute's supercomputing clusters, will be put to use in immersive training and education scenarios. Researchers envision futuristic applications like those seen in Star Trek's holodeck."

    I'd let an AI 4-year old nestle it's balls in my mouth.

    Ok, yesterday (is this the IBM "Rascals" computer again?) I linked the Uncyclopedia article "AI", which is of course about artificial intelligence, copy/pasted the text into a comment and was modded offtopic.

    So if I do it again here will I be modded redundant?

    One AC flamed me for linking "the unfunny" Uncyclopedia and claimed I must be 13. Now THAT was funny!

    disclaimer: I'm not even a registered user of uncyclopedia, but I think it's funny as hell. If you're the kind of tight assed anal prude that flames one for referring to a man from China as a "Chinaman" perhaps you should stay away from uncyclopedia. And my comments. And especially my journals.
