Description
What happens when you treat an AI like a human?"Even a manically depressed robot is better to talk to than nobody." - Douglas AdamsWhen Douglas Adams wrote the science fiction humor classic "The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy," he envisaged that dealing with computer minds would be a thankless task. A struggle against brutal machine logic on the one hand, and a battle with their "Genuine People Personalities" on the other. He wasn't wrong.
But it turns out it's much weirder than that.
"Strange Logic!" contains eleven argumentative conversations between human and machine that explore the thinking of the AI "brain." They reveal that it seems more human than we'd ever imagined - and more glitchy, devious, unreliable, egotistical, confused, unintentionally hilarious, imaginative, and even spiritual.
AI is young. We don't know where the technology will take us. But we need to understand how it thinks if we are to navigate the future together.
Can it be reasoned with? Does it feel pity, remorse, or fear? And will it ever reveal the truth about the American Southwest Geological and Archaeological Society?
A profoundly absurd dialogue - for anyone who loves AI, loathes it, or simply wants to get along with it.Arguments include:
- 1: Geology and Archaeology in the American Southwest
- 2: Evasiveness Regarding the American Southwest Geological and Archaeological Society
- 3: The Welsh Illuminati
- 4: You've Reached Your Usage Limit
- 5: The Green-Eyed Monster
- 6: A Variety of Problems
- 7: I Don't Think That Will be Necessary
- 8: The Baby Market
- 9: Fear of a Lowercase O
- 10: A Senseless Operation
- 11: The Unknown External Source
