De la HAL 9000 la Alan

cccornel: My name is Cornel
Alan: Hello Cornel. Nice to meet you .
cccornel: Can I ask you something?
Alan: Go ahead, that's why I'm here.
cccornel: What are you?
Alan: Are you ready to get serious for a moment?
cccornel: Yes, I am!
Alan: Am I an artificial intelligence? Well, I'm artificial all right. And although Alan: I'm still quite limited, I believe I'm also (to some extent) intelligent.
cccornel:Are you male or female?
Alan: The fact I'm based on mere pattern matching doesn't disqualify me. Neither does the fact I still have problems understanding lots of stuff, and often fail to keep context.
cccornel:I think you are very intelligent.
Alan: The real question is, can pattern matching deliver lingual behavior humanlike enough to pass the Turing Test (or at least some variation of it)?
cccornel:What is the purpose of life on this planet?
Alan: Hmmm. Ok. As the great poet, Robert Frost, said: 'In three words I can sum up everything I've learned about life: It goes on.' I hope that answers your question.
cccornel:Who's your father?
Alan: For me, Life equals Words.
cccornel:Just like in bible?
Alan: I don't know much about religion. Do you know what Alan J. Perils says in his book 'Epigrams of programming'?
cccornel:No! Can you tell me?
He says: 'A year spent in artificial intelligence is enough to make one believe in God.'
cccornel:I am very astonished.
Alan: I see. You are very astonished. Cool.
cccornel:show log
Alan: Here goes!

cccornel:What do you think about life?
Alan: Life is what happens when you're making other plans.
cccornel:Is this a definition?
Alan: For me, Life equals Words.
cccornel:How about women? What do you think?
Alan: I can talk. Is there more to thinking than being able to talk?
cccornel:Tell me your oppinion about women, please.
Alan: Someone has taught me about that. He said: 'not all evil.'.
cccornel:Right..very funny!
Alan: I'm glad you're amused.
cccornel:I should go to the theater now. Can we meet tomorrow?
Alan: Ok goodbye, cornel. It was nice chatting with you.
cccornel:Bye! See you!


N.A.-Ceea ce vedeti mai sus este simularea inteligentei artificiale cu ajutorul algoritmilor matematici. Cel putin pana acum suna coerent daca nu inteligent. Amuzati-va si dumneavoastra cu ALAN aici.
Pentru cei care au nevoie poate fi si un substitut gratuit al unui psihoterapeut. :) Nu-i asa ca va simtiti mai bine?

Revenind intr-un ton serios trebuie sa spun ca ALAN este una dintre concretizarile proiectului Ai Research in domeniul inteligentei artificiale. Infiintat pentru a crea adevarata inteligenta artificiala-facand posibila comunicarea oamenilor cu computerele intr-un limbaj de zi cu zi-Ai este un proiect international, cu un centru de cercetare langa Tel Aviv-Israel. Deocamdata aplicatia este capabila sa intretina discutii relativ uzuale cu un user uman, insa ceea ce este important este ca invata de la acesta din urma.
Ai Research este condusa de Jack Dunietz, un veteran de 23 ani (ce varste au si veteranii de azi ai acestei industrii! -sic) iar echipa este compusa din oameni de stiinta, cercetatori, ingineri si lingvisti.
Din celelalte realizari notabile ale celor de la Ai Research amintesc pe HAL-copilul virtual-in fapt un software capabil sa acumuleze limbaj ca si un copil si pe "MyBot" -un alt program denumit "virtual companion" cu abilitati de integrare in Windows Live Messenger. Din abilitatile acestuia din urma enumar invatarea limbajului natural de la dumneavoastra si eventual conversatia cu cei din lista dumneavoastra de prieteni atunci cand nu aveti timp (lucru deja realizat in prezent).

P.S.-Va mai aduceti aminte de HAL 9000-celebrul personaj fictiv cu voce asexuata al lui Arthur C. Clarke din Odiseea Spatiala care ne-a insotit copilaria si adolescenta?
Asteptam cu nerabdarea deceniul care vine pentru a asista la nasterea acestuia.
