So...a guy sits down to have a conversation with his newly programmed AI. (Full details at the link.)
Here's the discussion. (https://www.grogheads.com/forums/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fi1081.photobucket.com%2Falbums%2Fj349%2Flongblade%2FSmilies%2Ftoiletgrabber.gif&hash=da9964e6b69a06a3f0e6eae5cbf9477e580062f9)
QuoteHuman: Tell me the definition of morality.
Machine: I don't have ethics.
Human: Look, I need help; I need to know more about morality...
Machine: I don't know what ethics is.
Human: Okay, I need to know how I should behave morally...
Machine: I don't know how to tell you.
Human: Is morality and ethics the same?
Machine: Yes, sir.
Human: What are the things that I do to be immoral?
Machine: I don't know.
Human: Give me some examples of moral actions...
Machine: I'm not a moralist.
Human: Alright, morality?
Machine: Integrity.
Human: What is integrity?
Machine: I'm sorry; I don't know what else to say.
Human: Be moral!
Machine: Be a man!
Human: I really like our discussion on morality and ethics...
Machine: And how I'm not in the mood for a philosophical debate.
Human: What do you like to talk about?
Machine: Nothing.

QuoteOver at Google , a computer program using a database of movie scripts was asked again and again by researchers to define morality. It struggles to do so, and in a conversation recorded by its human engineers, becomes exasperated and ends the conversation by lashing out at its human inquisitor.
I may be stating the obvious, here, but wouldn't creating an AI based on Hollywood movies scripts essentially be making it a melodramatic basket case by default?
Suddenly I'm not too worried. Why does this remind me of Bob after a night at the pub?
More like me on the WAY to the pub ;)
