Oooh okay hold on that's a good one
Intelligence that is stored and output based on pattern processing and recognition.
I think true artificial intelligence should "learn" so to speak
yeah that's a good point. For example it learns to communicate or act based on the experiences it has.
Did you ever use Cleverbot when you were younger? It basically just repeated phrases that other users had said before
No I haven't used that before. It sounds familiar but I don't recall ever using it myself. It sounds like it would be really funny.
It was kind of like the Peter Answers thing - my friends and I used to do that stuff when we were bored Cleverbot would throw back some really wild answers sometimes
Oh yeah, I remember that! The answers would be completely unwarranted or unrelated to the question. I just spent most of my free time as a kid either playing outside or playing super nintendo!
I had a Nintendo 64 and I thought it was the coolest thing! haha
Yeah! I love N64 oh my goodness. Did you ever play Diddy Kong Racing?
I spent a lot of time outside riding horses and things like that, though, so I never beat Zelda My cousin had that game and I was horrible at it!
Hahaha! That's awesome you had that opportunity to ride. I loved playing Zelda. There's still time :) You could definitely beat Zelda if you really wanted to.
I could always go dig the game console out of the storage room and blow off the old cartridges!
I vote yes! When your games weren't working did you pull them out and blow inside them? I don't know if it was just our family but we were on dust patrol 24/7.
We blew on them before we even put them in, just to be sure haha
YES! You are a true N64 child. Bless.
Haha yep, I paid my dues playing with the old remote before my older sister would ever let me use the cool translucent purple one. And they plugged in! That seems like such an old-school thing
Oh yeah the hierarchy of controllers! Yeah that really does seem old now that I think about it haha. Everyone is used to wireless everything now.
Our friends would bring their controllers so we could all four play at once. The 90s version of like Xbox live or something, huh?
My favorite thing was pulling the telephone cord into the next room and closing the door. YEAH! Just ahead of our time.
Or now people livestream while they play video games. I wonder why it's so fun to watch people play games
I think there's a certain degree of vicarious free time. Or fun, right? Like watching someone else succeed at a game is fun.
Ah, the looooooong telephone cords so you could tuck the phone under your ear and still reach the fridge. Classic.
Or watch cats get tangled up in them. Classic.
I still remember when DVDs were a new and exciting thing. Like, no more rewinding the tape!
I was just about to say that! I was going to say, when you have to flip the cassette tape. Or when you have to put in CD part 2.
Yes! I remember that too, but only a little bit. I was just on the edge of that one, so most of my childhood music was on CDs
That's fair :)
Oh, man, I had forgotten CDs only held a few songs!
It was a wonderful time in life. Limited storage. So much dependence.
What did we do when we had to just listen to one album without shuffling it?
We learned every single word. We became passionate about the order of the songs.
True!
I still listen to whole albums in order haha.
Did you ever carry around a portable CD player and you would have to balance it carefully so it wouldn't skip? I tried taking mine in the car for trips and it never worked.
YES! Walk-mans are life. Yeah I remember going over bumps and ruining the CDs haha.
But my dad did MacGyver a pretty sweet TV with a VHS player into our minivan for trips, so it wasn't much of a loss Before the days of screens built into the backs of headrests
WOW that's awesome. I wish we had that! We didn't do many car trips because there are too many kids in my family!
I actually remember when my family upgraded to a newer minivan with a built in DVD player and the screen was soooo much smaller. First world problems. I only have one sister,  and yet we still had an entire van for some reason.
Oh my goodness I think you were probably the only person who experienced that. Really!? That's hilarious! Just so you can have space and leg room. It's a good life with space.
True. And when I turned 16 and inherited it, I could pack all my two friends around easily. Haha
That's awesome! The mommy van wins every time. What are you studying in school?
It was pretty cool until the sliding door broke and people had to climb through the passenger door or the trunk. It got voted worst car for my senior yearbook I'm studying linguistics. I just added a minor in computer science, and it's already killing me!
Oh man that would be embarrassing. Really?! That's so cool! I'm taking CS 142 and it's pretty challenging. I was a linguistics major at my old University.
That's awesome! I'm in CS 142 and I just got a lab graded. I'm afraid to look! What are you studying now? You still there?
I moved here initially to sing Opera but I decided not to and I ended up in Pre-business looking into Entrepreneruship. Entrepreneurship*
