A Working Theory of Love - The AI vs Humans

I decided to talk to some humans and a computer about pride and prejudice because LIZZIE BENNET OH MY GOD.




One of the main plots in AWTOL was the whole "is it AI is it human" and if computers can feel emotions. By asking both the same question I realised that one) people who have read pride and prejudice don't spend their time on omegle



The computer:
What is a truth universally acknowledged?
OMG.
What?
I'm 15.
What is a truth universally acknowledged?
All men are created equal.

Omegle:
You: What is a truth universally acknowledged?
Stranger: men likes s**

You: What is a truth universally acknowledged?
Stranger: Hi, 19 m India
Stranger: death
You: Thank you.
Stranger: welcome

You: What is a truth universally acknowledged?
Stranger: :) hi. i'm 22/F/usa :) you?
You: What is a truth universally acknowledged?
Stranger: great. wann webcam?

I lost faith in people around this point.

One of the main plots in AWTOL was the whole "is it AI is it human" and if computers can feel emotions. By asking both the same question I realised that one) people who have read pride and prejudice don't spend their time on omegle two) cleverbot doesn't follow a particularly clear train of thought because it spends most of it's time talking to humans and I KNOW I KNOW it will recite the whole of Getting Back to Hogwarts from AVPM but that isn't the point.

Computers will never talk like humans because we're so complicated and ever evolving and dependant on emotions and nature and nurture.

Sophie, you've been on omegle for 10 minutes, stop making sweeping generalisations about the human race.
