Social media goliath Facebook shut down an experiment with artificial intelligence, after two AI programs created and began to speak a language only they knew, the Independent reported Tuesday.
Facebook developers were attempting to get the two “chatbots” to barter a trade with one another utilizing hats, balls, and books of varying values, according to the Independent. The two bots quickly resorted to speaking a variation of English between one another that seemed largely incomprehensible to the developers but was seemingly understood clearly by the two bots.
The robots were reportedly told to improve their negotiation tactics as they bartered a trade but were not required to use understandable English, and soon the bots began speaking abnormally.
According to the Independent, a sample of the conversation went like this:
Bob: i can i i everything else . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
Alice: balls have zero to me to me to me to me to me to me to me to me to
Bob: you i everything else . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
Alice: balls have a ball to me to me to me to me to me to me to me
Bob: i i can i i i everything else . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
Alice: balls have a ball to me to me to me to me to me to me to me
Bob: i . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
Alice: balls have zero to me to me to me to me to me to me to me to me to
Bob: you i i i i i everything else . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
Alice: balls have 0 to me to me to me to me to me to me to me to me to
Bob: you i i i everything else . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
Alice: balls have zero to me to me to me to me to me to me to me to me to
According to the Independent, while the conversation initially looked like stuttering or glitching, the bots appeared to be using specific speech rules. For instance, both bots kept stressing their own names, which was thought to be a part of the bartering process.
Developers reported that some of the negotiations carried out with this bizarre language were concluded successfully. They noted that the language was possibly just a shorthand form of English used by the programs to work more efficiently.
Linguist Mark Liberman, who called the chatbots’ language “Facebotlish,” said that while Facebotlish seems like gibberish it counts as a successful language if it’s understood. He explained on his blog what it means for something to “truly count as language”:
We have to start by admitting that it’s not up to linguists to decide how the word “language” can be used, though linguists certainly have opinions and arguments about the nature of human languages, and the boundaries of that natural class.
Are vernacular languages really capital-L languages, rather than just imperfect approximations to elite languages? All linguists would agree that they are. Are sign languages really Languages rather than just ways to use mime to communicate? Again, everyone agrees that they are.
While researchers were fascinated by the development and not worried about the language being a way for the bots to keep secrets from developers, Facebook had to shut down the programs due to the fact that they were being designed to speak to humans, not in coded language to each other.
But while the AI’s language was very strange, inventing varied forms of wording isn’t as odd as some might think. In fact, according to Facebook Artificial Intelligence Research division’s visiting researcher Dhruv Batra, it’s very human.
“Agents will drift off understandable language and invent code words for themselves,” Batra said, highlighting the effectiveness of the adapted communication. “Like if I say ‘the’ five times, you interpret that to mean I want five copies of this item. This isn’t so different from the way communities of humans create shorthands.”
According to Liberman, however, it’s unlikely that the AI form of shorthand is something humans will adopt.
“In the first place, it’s entirely text-based, while human languages are all basically spoken (or gestured), with text being an artificial overlay,” Liberman wrote on his blog. “And beyond that, it’s unclear that this process yields a system with the kind of word, phrase, and sentence structures characteristic of human languages.”

Welcome to Skynet.

I'm waiting to have sex with robots tell me when that is available. Especially with an AI that knows when to suck me off and assume several positions based on where the sex is headed. As well as dirty talk
I owned a robot
long ago
the er was lazy
and cost me
a lot of dough
I got him
to work for me
do all the jobs
but all he did
was drink my beer
and watch TV
so I called a friend of mine
who owned a scrap metal biz
told him if he came over
this hunk of junk
was his
it took him awhile
but he came prepared
now my x robot
is a table and chairs
Painkillers causing severe drowsiness?
remind me again who you are?

Truth: Expensive experiment reveals ing stupid AI, lower than video game level - ergo stupid programmers/developers and a ton of wasted money.
Report: AI develops own language, gets shut down to avoid a Matrix type scenario - ergo breakthrough, hidden like Skynet, Alex Jones level , genius developers and programmers, money well spent.
Faceberg is only using these bots in order to replace the JIDF internet trolls. These trolls have a job to do which is to log on, speak the usual talking points, and tell everybody that they're stupid if they disagree. Paying JIDF shills is getting too expensive and they're unable to get up to speed fast enough and Voila! this is the result. I'd imagine these bots can be continually programmed what to type in real time.
Havent u lurked here long enough to know everyone??
