I wish I could get GLaDOS's voice as a replacement for Siri's, and she'd just be a total bitch about everything. So even if she couldn't figure out what I wanted or whatever, she would just come back with something like, "I could tell you that, but I really don't feel like telling you, I would rather you suffered for the rest of the day, not knowing the answer." Just make her non-answers something I actually wanted to hear her say.

Technically GLaDOS isn't an AI though, is she?

[-] hanni@lemmy.one 11 points 11 months ago

Can you explain? Why not?

[-] buycurious@lemmy.world 28 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago)

Spoilers below (and apologies, as I can’t get the spoiler tag to work. If someone knows, let me know!).

In Portal 2, you learn the GLaDOS is actually the brain dump of Cave Johnson’s assistant, named Caroline. Cave Johnson is the one that ran the company that created the portal gun.

That's still an AI, just derived from a human person.

[-] Chais@sh.itjust.works 9 points 11 months ago

I'd argue that the intelligence is still natural.

[-] Scubus@sh.itjust.works 2 points 11 months ago

It can be both natural and artificial. Bananas are a perfect example. They grow in the wild, but not human-altered bananas are extinct. Hence they are natural, as they don't require humans to produce more of them, and artificial, as humans made them.

Also, if you want to get real pedantic, all human intelligence is artificial as you learn from other humans. Also, your parents made your mind.

[-] Stoneykins@mander.xyz 2 points 11 months ago

We could just say a different word to distinguish them, like UI for uploaded intelligence, or anything really. Having a different word for each seems more productive than debate about which is the more accurate use.

[-] Aatube@kbin.social 9 points 11 months ago

Well that depends on what your definition of AI is. IMO if pathfinding is AI then GLaDOS is definitely AI

[-] Chais@sh.itjust.works 5 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago)

Actually A* is deterministic thus simply intelligently designed, but not intelligent itself. Nobody considers that AI.

[-] Scubus@sh.itjust.works 1 points 11 months ago

I don't necessarily consider pathfinding AI, but I don't like that reasoning. If ai coded a set of rules for a units behavior, if that behavior responds to different conditions, I'd consider it AI. Even though it is purely deterministic.

[-] Chais@sh.itjust.works 3 points 11 months ago

That would make any non-trivial piece of code AI. Like ffmpeg, for example, or a chess computer. Complicated tools, sure, but with a bit of effort you can predict how they will behave in a given circumstance. Meaning you could set a trap for the chess computer and it would walk right into it. Every single time. No learning occurs.
Until a few years ago AI was effectively synonymous with AGI, Artificial General Intelligence, which requires the software to be able to adapt to new situations and be able to solve even unknown problems with as few or fewer attempts than a human would need.

[-] EdibleFriend@lemmy.world 8 points 11 months ago

Caroline was just PART of GLaDOS.

[-] insomniac_lemon@kbin.social 6 points 11 months ago

I don't think it's such a stretch to say that a digital copy is artificial, especially with the given context of malfunctions and personality alteration/memory deletion (and stuff I can't quite put into words, like her existing for so long and doing testing when no other scientists are left). Even Wheatley seems more human, though stupid and ultimately just as malicious.

I mean I could've seen the story written differently (and perhaps some of it was played for laughs) but that's not what it was.

@Chais

[-] Cosmonaut_Collin@lemmy.world 2 points 11 months ago

Even though Wheatley is supposed to be the stupid one, he actually does a pretty good job learning from past mistakes that he and others have made. If only Chell didn't medle in turret production.

I think the Sync dev forgot about spoilers so I'm trying to figure it out now from this doc

did I figure it out?yes?

[-] alansuspect@aussie.zone 3 points 11 months ago

Worked for me in Sync 👍

[-] can@sh.itjust.works 2 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago)

Great. Unfortunately, the spoiler button in Sync's markup bar still used the reddit style markup.

So >!this!< will look like a spoiler to you and me but not to anyone on the site or any other app/frontend.

[-] Aatube@kbin.social 1 points 11 months ago

Neither does the ::: syntax work for me

on kbin

[-] buycurious@lemmy.world 1 points 11 months ago

You figured it out!

[-] Chais@sh.itjust.works 13 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago)

Because she's the mind of Cave Johnson's assistant Caroline copied into the computer. GLaDOS is actually an ~~anagram~~ acronym of "Genetic Lifeform and Disk Operating System"

[-] can@sh.itjust.works 9 points 11 months ago

Acronym*

You broke my brain for a minute there.

[-] Chais@sh.itjust.works 6 points 11 months ago

Lol. You're right, of course. Acronym.

[-] can@sh.itjust.works 4 points 11 months ago

I knew it sounded wrong yet it somehow overwrote my ability to remember the right word lol. I had to google "initialism" and work backward from there.

[-] Scubus@sh.itjust.works 2 points 11 months ago

It's clearly a palindrome /s

[-] doingthestuff@lemmy.world 1 points 11 months ago

Onomatopoeia?

[-] ech@lemm.ee 19 points 11 months ago

Portal 3 when?

[-] Evilsmiley@sh.itjust.works 5 points 11 months ago

When valve figures out how to get out of the witches curse they amde stopping them from hitting game 3 in a series

[-] shneancy@lemmy.world 4 points 11 months ago

we will accept Portal: Alyx it's okay just please anything it's been over a decade

[-] Oszilloraptor@feddit.de 3 points 11 months ago

it will be a pre-order Bonus for HL3

[-] HandsomePotatoe@lemmy.world 18 points 11 months ago

Who else read this in her voice?

[-] Squirrel@thelemmy.club 17 points 11 months ago

It was written in her voice.
