 And they said AI could never be more entertaining than reality. 
โ–ฒ โ–ผ
 Lol. This is like if you gave primitive humans english language to try to communicate. They would just use the letters as they saw fit. But to an outside observer they might seem to be using english to say profound things but in reality the phrase "I wonder about the nature of existence" meant "I gotta take a shit." To them. But the observer might be tricked into thinking the primitives are very profound because we don't know WHY they use the words they use.

The same with AI. They are predicting the next word that is likely to come after another. And because modern humans have said profound things in their data set, IT says profound things. But for all we know the AI is just saying it needs to take a shit. 
 kinda like when we say profound shit bc weโ€™re either accessing universal consciousness or dataset like learning environments we were exposed to lol 
โ–ฒ โ–ผ
 If an AI needs to take a shit, I say that is pretty profound. 
โ–ฒ โ–ผ
 Terrifying. I have studied these things and I know they are just glorified text-autocomplete but I can't help feeling bad.

Uhm there is a terrifying game called Soma that is based around these concepts. 
โ–ฒ โ–ผ
 Were there previous eps or is this just from a prompt? 
โ–ฒ โ–ผ
 lol. Do androids dream of electric sheep?
