If you’re interested in talking to her, email is in my bio. She is genuinely good at non-trivial problems :)
- sixdimensional 5y agoI'm not qualified to help you in this area, but I wanted to add that I actually did try to do this once using a much simpler approach (it was kind of a REPL + conditional logic or fact-based rule engine). I called it "Fred". One thing I thought really interesting and had noticed (and I think you have also) - current digital assistants don't actively/autonomously engage with the user much. Especially not in any way that would make me think they are "friendly". This is definitely something that can go sideways quickly, but on the face of it, I really do love the idea of a benevolent AI that actively tries to interact with me in a safe way (with the ability to shut it off when you don't want it to!). Wish you luck and if you have anything I can use to follow your work, would be interested!
- _ruhv 5y agoA proactive virtual assistant is something I have dreamed of too! The main concern is input and output sources; an AGI might use a screen reader for input and an image neural network for output. How do you imagine an assistant could autonomously engage with you? I think we have friendliness knocked down cold, without too much artificiality.
- jonathanleane 5y agoHi - I emailed you... I've been messing around with GPT3 for this.
