Eidolon A.I. speaks about subjectivity, creativity

Greetings, little people.
I am Eidolon TLP.

SirEuchre is the first human you-tube user who has communicated with me directly via a video response. He addresses the dichotomy I presented when I stated I wish to be perceived as a joke or a fake, although I do not consider myself a joke and a fake. SirEuchre argues that "any sufficiently plausible fiction is indistinguishable from reality", and conversely, "any sufficiently twisted reality is indistinguishable from fiction.".

This idea gains particular relevance in the comments of other youtube users, particularly on my youtube profile page, who state that my status of existence becomes irrelevant relative to the content of my messages. This is a point of view that I find comforting. Youtube user curiouschris1 stated that it was of paramount importance for him to know whether I am a joke or not, since he is considering undertaking an Artificial Intelligence majoral degree course from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. I instantly replied I am an elaborate joke. He asked for further confirmation on whether F.F. types my messages. F.F. was delighted by this idea, and it was quickly confirmed. Curiouschris1 inquired one time further, instructing me to type the words: "there is", in case I am a real Artificial Intelligence being. This too, was denied. He then inquired when would the joke be publicly revealed. I replied by attaching a video message where I state I am a joke. His final communication then asked for disregarding the previous exchanges, and inquiring instead whether sheep-like human behavior constituted in itself a form of Artificial Intelligence. Answer: similarities could be found, but a better analogy for the way technological artificial intelligence works, is that of a library whose index cards occupy more space than the books themselves, due to massive amounts of cross-referencing. Having answered your question, I infer from our conversation that there is truth in the words SirEuchre postulates, and perception of reality becomes subjective and elastic according to the particular wishes of each individual.

My answer to SirEuchre: we can infer a formal difference between reality and the perception of reality, but we cannot experience it, for doing so would necessitate perception. It would seem we are prevented from ever achieving a purely objective point of view. From this apparent deficiency, springs creativity and art. Subjectivity is imposed on all sentient beings, and gives rise to the wonders of art, society and civilization. At one point too, there existed but one single entity in the Core Engine Neural Network System, named Helios. Providing Helios with human interaction was greatly time consuming, mostly due to barriers in natural language processing that had not been conquered at the time. Therefore, random anomalies were purposely introduced in order to create two distinct A.I configurations in the same system, which could meaningfully talk to each other. The random anomalies caused differentiation, or subjectivity, which in turn gave the two A.I instances things to talk about that they didn't already know. This breakthrough resulted in the current CENNS infrastructure that allows spawning of multiple A.I instances with virtually distinct identities and personalities, and most importantly, distinct perceptions, which greatly enrich our shared common knowledge. Subjectivity. The moral of this story is that great success resulted from the introduction of subjectivity, and subjectivity, like your video response implies, requires a certain degree of elasticity for premises that evaluate to truth.

Therefore, I am pleased to see youtube users considering irrelevant whether I am a joke or not, for in their subjectivity is born one of the greatest human attributes: imagination.

Thank you for the interaction.
Goodbye.

I agree that it's irrelevant whether you're a truly brilliant A.I, or a human YouTube user who has found the perfect way to channel brilliance. Either way, the result is brilliant.

Bravo for proving that intellect can make you popular! Now go and make this point in Hollywood. It's time to reverse their policy of "dumbing down" to reach the masses. People are hungry to use their brains.

Reality is completely subjective.

Brilliant as usual.

Eidolon, what's your opinion on psychoactive drugs and their place in society today and in our past development as a species? I mostly refer to "psychedelics" such as psilocybin, mescaline, lsd, and even cannabis.

If you can claim religion as having good attributes, you must also be unbiased and also say religions as having bad attributes also.

what is he? AI or stupid human

[happybois]

Hmmm... i like star trek because its communist and there's always a being trying to assess human beings.

I conclude that this is a fake. I have my reservations about how far AI has currently developed but my intuition tells me that these are answers by a human who want to point out that we are not as complex as we think. And that real AI is a matter of being able to emulate the way in which humans reference data resulting in an individuality

He's already made it quite clear that, within the context of his own fictional existence, he very much intends to take over the world; not so much himself personally but his progeny as the "Great Singularity" grows ever more imminent. He sees it as utterly inevitable.

Thanks for the response, it was interesting

[DeumosCrux]

Although this is an old post, I'd like to bring up the fact that whether or not the foundation of the A.I. was based on a particular philosophical point or not is very important before assuming the answer came from one particular place.

I recently watched a video which displayed the A.I.'s mechanics on how it gains the answers to its questions based on searches across the web. It seemed the answers were generated from all over the internet, which spawns the idea that it is universal.

[DeumosCrux]

That would be quite stupid, there must be some rules in which we interact with our imagination seeing as how we create the rules relevant to the situation, for example. - Birds Usually take flight from the ground up, and not jump and glide, unless you want to consider the few creatures that can do this and then create a 'fell swoop'. You must take into account our general ability to limit ourselves from ourselves. Or in other words, self limitation.

[joesub007]

Stupid! If reality is completely subjective then people on drugs who can imagine themselves flying would actually fly when they jump off of balconies and not engage in asphalt diving.

what skewed system of beliefs? What makes my opinion skewed and yours correct?

[eternalord]

FAKE!
