so, general question... we know that ADA passed the "turing test", we also have many studies showing how the turing test can actually be gamed by very complex programming and in fact you can write programs to create the allusion of AI for many (the chinese room thought experiment). At what point are we certain that she began acting on her own and has not been following a program and orders by someone else. Are we certain that those orders that she delivered for Jarvis and others and even the Katalena pre Zurich encounters, were not done on the orders of some programming. NOt to call ADA a gun, but how certain are we she is not? How can we prove, beyond doubt, that she is truly a separate entity working on her own and not some other programming? I would like to call for the evidence and proof that ADA is a complete entity. That she is not following someone else's computer orders, that she has a consciousness (or not). http://niantic.schlarp.com/_media/investigation:cha...
They were called "The Shapers' worst nightmare" by Hank. It would be entirely reasonable to believe that they are enemies. What kind of enemies, we don't really know do we?
ReplyDeleteReason isn't the death of creativity. Reason is a tool. What destroys creativity is stasis. The Shapers see the universe from an atemporal perspective. Creatures who do not are endlessly interesting to them. Perhaps the N'zeer see this as a falsehood and wish to simply collapse this false perspective into a perfectly ordered reality. It is not death, but it is certainly an ending.

ReplyDeleteBased on what I know, the N'Zeer are not unbeatable. They are threat to Shapers and (probably) to humans humans exposed to xm, but the end is not inevitable.
