What's preventing there being an AI with hardcoded desire to regulate values like hunger level, boredom level, etc.? I could imagine a problem solving AI dedicated to continuously solving those problems.
- aerovistae 10y agoBut how? hunger = 100; while (hunger > 0) { seekFood(); } // Is this what hunger is to a machine, at its basest level? An int and a while loop? Is that really what it means to understand hunger? This and a text description?
- foota 10y agoI mean hunger is really just a gut reaction created to tell us we need to eat or we'll die eventually. edit: s/created/developed over time/
- ENGNR 10y agowhile(sugar = 0) seekFood() And thus the grey goo was created
- majewsky 10y agoHm no, you used = instead of ==, so this will never seek food. ;)
- smarinov 10y agoYou probably mean that it will always seek food since the assignment evaluates to 'true' when it's successful (which is usually the case).
- TeMPOraL 10y agoIn what language? In all that I know, assignment evaluates to the value that was assigned (that is, if it evaluates to anything at all). Also in most languages that look like C, 0 evaluates to false. Therefore it will never seek food.
- saynsedit 10y agoUsually the case as in usually never the case.
