What's impressive about this conversation? I don't feel like it is very complicated at face value. You're telling to program to start pulling facts from the life of a public figure, and then it does so. You can get the same out of Google.
- emtel 5y agoRead the last two lines again. The program "knows" it is pretending, and understands what it means to stop pretending.
- DabbyDabberson 5y agoI doubt the program "understands" anything.. Its just mapping a input binary string, to an output binary string that minimizes some cost function.
- edflsafoiewq 5y agoIt is interesting, but the extent of "pretend" is just to swap "Ada Lovelace" and "I". I wonder what would happen if you asked "What do you know about Alan Turing?"
- Traster 5y agoNo, read the conversation again, it's not pretending. It's reciting facts from wikipedia but conjugating in the first person instead of the third. >User What are your parents like? My dad is a celebrity, he's a poet, he's a larger than life figure. I didn't know him well, he didn't treat my mother well. I grew up with my grandmother and didn't really spend much time with my father. For a human, when you say "what are you parents like" it illicits a thousand more things than just repeating their official titles. Read the Byrons' wikipedia pages, and think how you would answer that question.
