I remember reading up on something similar a little while back, and it does make a kind of sense. Teach (that is to say program) some basic information, and let them learn the rest.
--- Quote from: ZoeB on 02 Aug 2013, 04:02 ---The fact that she can a) Recognise a "good guy" when she sees one, b) Values that and c) Modifies her behaviour accordingly means that maybe it's working. There's a good base to work from.
No matter whether you're NI or AI.

Now May is learning a valuable lesson. [idealism] Treat people right, and you'll be treated right in return. [/idealism]

Layman's question here: Would that not (be one of the things that) differentiate an AI from an ordinary program or programmable machine?
secondtalon:
I'm glad the market research team at the AR company that runs the software provided Dale with an AI that would go through the appropriate (if predictable) character growth arc in the trial period such that he is far more likely to re-up the subscription service fee.
Go go corporate data mining!

Hmm, okay, that's probably a bit more than my wife paid for her computer -- I seem to recall her mentioning it cost her around $2000. I guess my memories of the '90s are getting dim...
SJCrew:
QC is ten years old? Holy tit muffins! I can't even tell how much time has passed in the comic!
Also, May is trying too hard. She wants to be a badass, you can tell.
