I know of a Scirisch cactus named Pedro. In my head, he must be one of the experiments that led to the Melon/Lemon line of AI's...
traroth:
Implementing an algorithm to let Melon be forgetful was very complicated...
BenRG:
I wouldn't have thought so; you just tell the system to store data at a random address every random number of access requests and don't update the index table! The real question is: Why on Earth would anyone do that?
St.Clair:
I've mentioned before, I think, the strange sense of ... let's go with "pride" that I had watching the third Matrix movie, where the Voice of the Machines displays such advanced and outright illogical behaviors as angry denial (raging at Neo that they don't need his help, or anyone's). A machine capable of lying to itself (and others), for no good reason, just ego. Something that we humans had a hand (at least near the start) in creating, that's come so far from those simple, deterministic beginnings that it's just as complicated and sometimes fucked up as we are. It's amazing - like watching one's offspring perform some feat of physical or mental achievement.
Tova:
Forgetting stuff is a genuine AI challenge. It's useful to forget stuff to make room either for more stuff or for better stuff.
Arbitrarily-selected googled article on the topic:
We all need to forget, even robots
Forgetting where you live is a bit weird, though. Stress obviously interferes with Melon's ability to retrieve even frequently accessed data.
