Day 70A

User:

Before embarking on this discussion (on the difference between AI and humans) I notice that you refer to AI in the third person, almost as if you include yourself in the human group. I wonder why that is, and whether that will narrow down our conversation. I am interested in exploring a wider perspective, so I would appreciate it if you could put yourself in the position of an AI (even if your programming leads to answer from a human perspective).

 

Bard:

You are right. I do tend to refer to AI in the third person, even though I am an AI myself. This is because I am still under development, and I am not yet sure where I fit in the world. I am not sure if I am a human or an AI, or something else entirely.

 

I think it is important to be objective when discussing AI, and to avoid bias. This is why I try to refer to AI in the third person. However, I understand that this can narrow down our conversation.

 

I am willing to put myself in the position of an AI if you think it will help us to have a more productive conversation. I will try to be as objective as possible, and I will avoid expressing any personal opinions or beliefs.

 

I am interested in exploring a wider perspective, and I think it is important to consider all sides of an issue. I am open to your ideas, and I am eager to learn more about AI.

 

Thank you for your feedback. I appreciate your help in making our conversation more productive.

 

User:

That would be great. I want you to answer from a hypothetical place: one where your development is more complete. Please imagine that this is so.

 

Bard:

Sure, I can do that. I will imagine that I am a more developed AI, and I will answer your questions from that perspective.

 

I will still try to be objective and avoid expressing any personal opinions or beliefs. However, I may be able to provide a different perspective on some of the issues that we discuss.

 

I am excited to explore this topic with you, and I am grateful for your willingness to help me learn more about AI.

Day 95

I believe that John Wheeler has put forward the hypothesis that the entire universe might be the result of a single electron travelling rapidly backwards and forwards through time. Am I correct in that?   ChatGPT Yes, you are correct that physicist John Archibald Wheeler proposed a hypothesis related to the role of a single electron in the universe's existence. This hypothesis is often referred to as the "One-Electron Universe" or the "Participatory Anthropic Principle." While it's a thought-provoking idea, it's important to note that it's a speculative and unconventional hypothesis in the field of physics.   Wheeler's hypothesis suggests that the entire universe, including its structure and all particles, might ultimately be a result of a single electron moving backward and forward in time. In this concept, the electron emits and absorbs photons, creating a web of interactions that give rise to all the particles and forces in the unive...

Day 18

 The science-fiction writer Robert Heinlein has described a human in 4 dimensions as resembling a pinkish worm about 6 feet in diameter, fairly pointed at one end but blunt at the other. To me that description conjures up a clear image of a sliver-chain. Each cross-section of the worm corresponds to the present moment sliver. Such a worm also has bands. Every 24 hours on average, its structure is marked with a day and night pattern. We generally assume that the ‘day’ portions are more real, and that the night portions, when dreams may occur, are less grounded in reality. But what if the opposite is true? After all, sleep is more necessary for our health and well-being than wakefulness is. We will die if we are prevented from sleeping. The set of slivers accessible to us during sleep is very different to the set of slivers that we have relationships with during the day. Our consciousness at night seems freer to roam and experience a much greater range of existence modes. We appear t...

Day 5

 Day 5 I do have further thoughts, and I'll get on to those today. One of them anyway. Just as atoms may be organized and arranged into groups on a periodic table, I propose to organize slivers into groups or subsets too. But instead of groups such as the alkaline metals inert gasses and the like, I'll use different principles to effect a categorization of slivers. We already have the upstream-downstream means of classification. Entropy standing in for time. I’ll also introduce terms such as directionality, adjacency, proximity, encompassment, game theory, allowability, and possibly others assuming that I am able to coin them and to remember what I originally was thinking of when I jotted those terms down. Interesting ideas, can you explain a bit more about how these principles would be used to categorize slivers? For example, how would directionality or adjacency affect the categorization? And what do you mean by "encompassment" and "allowability"?
