| What is AIBrain? |
| Officially: A program that will learn and respond using inputs and give outputs. Realistically: A program that doesn't do anything too cool by itself....yet. |
| A fake interview (humor) with the author, Rick Harker. |
| Q: Why would someone [like you] want to make an artificial intelligence? A: To be the first to make a real one. A: For the glory (social status). A: For company. A: Just to do it. A: To lean more about ourselves. A: For the money. |
| Q: What progress have you made? A: Not too much. I've rebuilt the framework to use threads more easily; made the AIBrain agent more modular; made the agent internet capable. |
| Q: What have you learned? A: I have learned a great deal about human languages, especially English and all of its quirks. I also had to learn the C++ language in order to implement AIBrain properly. |
| Q: Do you have any pet iguanas? A: No. |
| Q: What are you currently working on? A: I am trying to combine the internal language I am developing into the memory, grammar, input, output, and learning systems. |
| Q: How many hours each day do you spend on this program? A: I don't know. I get dizzy when the sun keeps spinning through the sky like that. |
| Q: May I ask a question? A: You just did. |
| Q: Okay, then can I ask you another question after this one? A: Yes. |
| Q: So what is your theory behind your program? Why do you think you will succeed when others haven't? A: Hey, that's two questions! Oh well. My idea is that since language comes from intelligence, it might be possible to simulate intelligence using language. Kinda like a mirror effect, except that mirror isn't quite the correct word. A: Because I have a different perspective on life than most people. |
| Q: When will the rest of the world see a working version of your program? A: I don't know. Maybe 1/2 a year, ten years, or never...I don't know. |
| Q: What popular personality do you compare to? A: Dave Barry. "That newspaper funny guy." - Rick Harker |
| Q: Wh@]] Error 411: connection to host lost. Please hang up and dial again or your neighbor's dog will be kicked by the IRS. |
| Q: When did you start working on this program? A: I started on parts of it back in the spring of 1995. |
