artificial personality

Ok, guys, so far no one has been able to create a human brain in a lab, featuring human common reactions to common situations.

While we are waiting for that to happen, I have another experiment. I want to be somebody else, and for all you who believe in free will, perhaps you are willing to help me change personality.

The goal is to create a new program in my brain which will cause the highest percentage of chances to be successful in certain areas, like being desired by women (the personality aspect of it), gaining status, making more money, and uh.. that is pretty much it. Shouldn't be that hard, then..

First we need to identify major categories of human interactions where people react in characteristic ways.

Then we need to agree upon what should be the reactions statistically most plausible of giving me more pussy and dough. We will have to discuss matters such as when to be a dove, when to be a hawk, when to be "nice", when to be "hard," when to be a pushover, who needs to like you, who doesn't have to like you etc. How to say no, make an excuse on your behalf, or just basically say no and don't care how others react. Stuff like that.

Any links to internet pages likely to introduce clarity to this topic is much appreciated. Same goes for detailed discussion of common trivial issues, like the toilet seat dilemma.

.....

they dealt with this on the old Jery Sinfeld show. George was interested in this pretty woman but said to Jerry that he always does and says the wrong thing with women. Jerry said the answer was to do the exact opposite of what he normally do. So he went up to the woman and told her that he was a short pudgy balding man with no job and lived with his parents. ( the opposite of what he would normally say). the woman lit up and said her name to him.
Chu Chu. You are interesting. I like your ideas here. You think that the human is a machine. A very complex machine. Perhaps so. Perhaps what we see as free will is only that which is part of what is programed into us by our previous experiences. But as a collective whole the human population goes back millions of years. You can go back and back in time. Before man and look at evolution of animals and then of the generation of the universe right to the big bang. So what do you have? It all had to come from somewhere right? the first adding of numbers. the first clapping of hands. the first joke. Everything had to be original at some point in time.

I find this post interesting aswel, for similar reasons to justoneman; you seem to approach life with a mechanical logic. I do that most the time, and with out sounding like a prat, have managed to segregate my cold logic side from my more humourus joky part, so I use my different "faces" as I call them for different matters.

You just have to kind of file your mind and the parts that you want to improve. So say you want to learn to talk to women better...just make sure when you get into those sort of situations you keep a light-hearted air about you, keep your jokes and anecdotes close at hand and flattery on your tounge.

This applies to gaining status, but in what way to you wish to do so? Socially or employment wise?

As for the money thing...just get into a money saving and investing frame of mind. Give of smoking or any costly habits you have. Walk instead of getting the bus, shower don't take a bath.

Just apply logic, common sence and humour to everything you do, as do I, and nothing seems to go wrong.

An even better approach would be not to try to change yourself, just look at what you have in a less critical and more positive light. I have flaws (as do we all) but I regard them as mere slights compared to what I like about myself. You have to love yourself before others love you.

Hope all that helped.

Actual artificial intelligence, that is a machine that has a true simulated sense of self and is adaptive ( can learn without prompts ) is a long way off. A computer program that chooses from a data base the most appropiate or likely response is not a good example of A.I. Some of the building energy management programs that are used to basically control everything from the lights to the HVAC ( heating and cooling ) systems on large office building's are adaptive but still very limited when it comes to the amount of input's and outputs that can be processed.

Ive been doing industrial controls for years and the premise of a variable closed loop control network is taking an analog or variable input (temperature voltage amperage, etc ) telling the PLC ( input interface and output driver controller) what it's function is ( temperature, voltage, amperage, etc ) and having the program respond with an output correction that is proportional to the initial error. It's get alot deeper than that but that's the basic's. Some larger systems can take several hundred inputs and output hundred's of responses but that is really pushing the limit of what the current technology is capable of.

Turn off your computer, get to work.
