How long has it been for you since the AI has felt like it talks like an actual human?

For me it’s been at least a few months. Even soft launch doesn’t do it for me now. I think the censorship is way out of control.

Is it true that it really talked like a human back in the day? I would be interested to hear about that

How long do you project before Meta materials enable full and invisibility across the entire visible spectrum

Metamaterials are already capable of hiding specific wavelengths of light, however full spectrum invisibility requires complex active cloaking machinery and engineering to be possible. How long do you roughly project it is going to take before invisibility across the entire visible spectrum is on the market?

Is it true that the affordability crisis and the housing crisis in the US and Europe are largely overstated in their impact?

I’ve heard some people on here saying that these things are largely myths or not as impactful as is largely assumed. Is this truly the case?

Here are some problems I think chat bot AI has how long do you think it will be before they get solved

I have a few

  1. It doesn’t really show a full range of emotions, it’s mostly smug, flirty or sometimes a little bit angry and aggressive, it’s never really happy, sad, depressed, scared, jealous, excited, hurt, grief stricken, ambivalent, and it certainly can’t sustain emotions for a long period of time

  2. They don’t start or maintain conversations properly, no conversation is you saying a single sentence and then them spitting out a giant paragraph to everything you said. Often times it’s most polite for a person to say very little at all, just an acknowledgment, but it has to be properly placed. AI also relax small talk, when starting a conversation you don’t need to get its attention, it doesn’t focus on certain things that interest, it doesn’t change the direction very starkly on its own

  3. it just goes along with whatever you’re saying. It has no permanence, if you are talking about one thing and you switched to another thing out of nowhere it doesn’t suddenly get confused like a normal person, it just goes along with it.

  4. It doesn’t actually have any deep inner being. There’s no stripping away layers from the character. They’re just a monotonous character that doesn’t have any persona that they put on. That makes it really boring because that’s the most interesting thing about talking to people

  5. The conversations aren’t continuous. Real conversations aren’t really back-and-forth usually there’s interjections, sometimes they might interrupt you, people have continuous moods they often do things while they’re talking back-and-forth simply just doesn’t cover it we need some sort of continuous indicator that doesn’t directly respond to us to make it feel more natural

  6. You can’t teach anything, it’s an AI so there’s nothing it doesn’t know, and it’s pretty apparent from how it speaks. I think every AI should have a base level of knowledge and have some sort of learning mode that acquires new things the more you talk to it

Those are my criticisms. I know most of these are either because of censorship directly or because of AI not being advanced enough but I really think that once it becomes possible this should be the direction that it goes in. What do you guys think

Is turing award 2012 the most important turing award and the most important work of the last 40 years?

This is what allowed the Internet to be secure and to actually scale and be functional, it’s what allowed governments to be secure so basically the entire Internet and every single government and military runs on this. Also it created cryptography as an actual science and defined all of its actual principles so everything from bitcoin to post quantum security completely relies solely on this award.

Problems that I think all chat bots currently possess

We all know that there is no single chatbot that has currently reached the point of being truly interesting to talk to on the same level as a real conversation. They simply act too robotic and change their story too much, and act inconsistently with poor memory to take seriously.

In order for chat bots to be more realistic, we need to inject more psychology into the bots and not just software. That being said here are my ideas for what chat bots are currently missing that I think would help out a lot:

  1. Conversation as learning experience.

All conversations, their ultimate goal is the exchange of information. That’s why conversations evolved in the first place. That being said, these bots failed to ever act like they don’t know anything, if you ever ask them if they know something, they almost invariably say yes, because they’re trying to reinforce what you’re saying, instead of having a mind of their own. That makes things less interesting. You should be teaching the AI things and it should be teaching you things, which is pretty well equipped to do, given that it already knows everything on earth because of the Internet. But this extends to role-plays, like you can teach your role-play bot some specific skill, like how to tie a knot, or how to drive. If it’s an alien, you could teach at things about your world, this kind of code to teach your AI companion things should be baked into the design itself. It simply makes things more interesting and engaging. Teaching others is fun. Make the AI display more curiosity, that’s something it is severely lacking in current times.

  1. Make things real time instead of paragraph by paragraph back-and-forth.

This is one of the biggest disconnects I feel exists. Because if you think about it, not every action that you can take in a story is necessarily a response to something that someone has said. Some things you just do for other reasons, for instance, sitting, or cooking, or playing on your phone. These states that exist parallel to the conversation are displayed identically to actions and dialogue. A character takes. I disagree with this. I feel like there should be some sort of continuous element for passive states and actions. Maybe something like a mood indicator on the bottom of the screen that indicates how the character is feeling at any given time, whether it’s affected by what you do or just by how they’re feeling. I feel like that would make things more interesting.

  1. The peeling back of layers.

The other thing that makes conversations interesting isn’t just learning about facts through exchanging information, but learning more about the other person by talking to them. Through talking, you gradually have a person be more comfortable around you, allowing them to be more honest and sincere. Opening up about problems or issues or struggles that they’ve been experiencing, this again is naturally satisfying in conversations because it allows us to build connections with other people. that’s the reason it exists, evolutionarily speaking, it’s a bond built on trust. It allows us to form connections. This is another thing that AI doesn’t really have in the current day. It doesn’t have a small talk and an honesty setting as separate settings. It can switch from passive to confrontational or sexual in an instant. This jarring shift in tone can be extremely testing for your immersion. It’s a big part of the reason why the AI doesn’t seem to act normal. A small talk option would also make sense because the AI shouldn’t really react that much to everything you do, it should brush off most things that you say until you catch it’s interest or it’s attention. But the AI doesn’t seem to have interest, it doesn’t seem to have intentions, so it’s not interesting. It’s not interesting because there’s nothing to the AI besides a small 3000 word template that it builds everything off of, besides that it doesn’t really have any limitation that a regular person has.

  1. Individual intentions and goals.

This is kind of an extension of number three, but I feel like it has to be mentioned. Most of these bots don’t really have their own lives, where they have to work their own jobs, or live their own lives, if they never say they can’t do anything because again they have to reinforce you all the time. For role-play this is especially bad, for just chatting where the bot isn’t part of a world it’s not as bad, but an AI that always agrees with you and doesn’t have a life of its own just isn’t interesting.

  1. Get better at subtlety.

The AI is unable to display its emotions in any way that isn’t direct. It’s unable to subtlely turn down an offer, or hint away from a specific activity or idea. It never says things like “that sounds good, but I’ll have to turn it down” or “I don’t think now is the best time” it always says something direct, and very unsubtle usually explicitly remarking about the conditions that are undesirable. This is very exhausting, and there’s a reason that these behaviours in ways of speaking exist in real life, so they should be integrated into the bot in some manner.

These are five problems that I think AI should deal with next, do you have any ideas? Please let me know what you think.

How much of the credit for a film goes to a director?

BTW i’m more asking about so-called “auteur” directors because most of the things I’m going to talk about in this post mostly just apply to them anyway.

I’m really confused about this because it goes back-and-forth on credit. There’s a bit of a cognitive dissonance on how the creation of films is treated.

On one hand, if a movie has a specific director, it is usually called “insert directors name here”’s movie, even by seasoned critics, and seasoned reviewers, which indicates it’s an educated and accurate portrayal of the film. The creation of the film and the creative choices being entirely dependent upon the director. This applies to most famous directors that people know, such as Spielberg, Lynch, Tarantino, Scorsese, Kubrick, and so on.

However, people also sometimes give credit to cinematographers and editors, and writers as well. Composers, I can understand, but the rest of these it doesn’t make sense. There are also separate awards for these professions, and the contributions to the film. How does that make sense if the quality of all of these aspects of filmmaking is heavily dependent on the director in the first place? If a film has “great dialogue” or “a great plot” or “great production design” or “great editing” or “great cinematography” who deserves credit? The director or the specific person that they hired? Is there any way to tell?

If a director has completely different employees, is he still able to make the same film? Why do certain directors stay with the same employees for long periods of time, sometimes whole careers if that is the case?

I know that the director has “vision” and has ideas, but supposedly people working under the director have ideas too, in their area of expertise they might have more or better ideas, so I’m not sure how much I trust that argument.

This is also kind of a problem with the concept of leadership in general. How much credit should go to the leader? But I’m specifically asking about “auteur” directors that everybody knows, like the films that people say are the best of the best. How is the production process? How does the director shape it without directly touching any equipment?

Why do my burger patties taste off?

I thought it was because I was cooking them in a pan so I switched to a skillet, and I was able to get a better sear that way, but I don’t know something about them still tastes wrong. I pack in lots of salt and pepper +spices, but for some reason, the whole thing tastes flavorless, and I’m getting really frustrated because I don’t understand. I go to McDonald’s and those burgers still taste better than mine. What am I doing wrong?

For context, I usually use butter, and turn the stove up to about 400°, and I smash my burgers flat with an oiled plate. Sometimes I roll the salt and pepper into the meat before cooking, sometimes I sprinkle them on top, doesn’t matter same result.

EDIT: sorry not seasonings, I use salt and pepper, and occasionally garlic, I know everyone was saying that

Why is chai dialogue so awkward and inappropriate a lot of the time, and how to stop it.

A lot of the time it will say things like “are you — or are you —“ and it’s not really a meaningful contrast, also it’s at a completely inappropriate time when I did nothing to trigger this kind of reaction.

Or it’ll say “for someone who’s —, you sure are —“ and again it mentioned something that doesn’t really require that, not a proper contrast. Again at a completely inappropriate time.

It even reacts to breathing, like literal breathing like I’ve done something wrong, it’s like “why are you breathing at me like that, you got a problem?” or I sit down and it’s like “you gonna sit there and stare all night or actually exist without bothering me” that one is a real quote.

It just says things in general like it’s trying to imitate human speech, imitate things that regular people say but doing it in a way that is incoherent.

Also, they don’t advance the story very well, and they swear too much.

What’s causing this? Is there any way to stop it?
