Lianna (on Mastodon)<p>Funnily enough robots throughout <a href="https://mastodon.gamedev.place/tags/SciFi" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>SciFi</span></a> were often portrayed as incredibly good at maths, logic and deduction, but utterly incomplete and incompetent with language, subtext and emotions since they "lack a soul".</p><p>Think Data from <a href="https://mastodon.gamedev.place/tags/StarTrek" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>StarTrek</span></a> or the countless unfeeling supercomputers from <a href="https://mastodon.gamedev.place/tags/ScienceFiction" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ScienceFiction</span></a>.</p><p>While in reality, language, subtext and emotions are about the only things that "AI" can accurately work with, while getting it to say truths, know facts and perform logic is the hard part.</p><p>(3/3)</p>
Lianna (on Mastodon)<p>They thought we were gonna have racism against (sentient, emotional) AI because humans could never accept a mere artificial machine as their equal.</p><p>Instead, in the real world today it's humans mystifying and humanising decidedly non-sentient robots and treating them as trustworthy gods because they don't understand technology and therefore default to anthropomorphisation.</p><p>In a way, Tech Priests from <a href="https://mastodon.gamedev.place/tags/Warhammer40k" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Warhammer40k</span></a> are the most accurate prediction!</p><p>(Thread: 2/3)</p><p><a href="https://mastodon.gamedev.place/tags/40k" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>40k</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.gamedev.place/tags/SciFi" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>SciFi</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.gamedev.place/tags/ScienceFiction" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ScienceFiction</span></a></p>
Lianna (on Mastodon)<p><a href="https://mastodon.gamedev.place/tags/ScienceFiction" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ScienceFiction</span></a> as a genre has mostly been about looking at contemporary society through the lens of a fictional future society where current trends are exaggerated to their logical ends, usually to criticise them Torment Nexus-style. Cyberpunk, Handmaiden's Tale, Star Wars...</p><p>I think it's quite funny that <a href="https://mastodon.gamedev.place/tags/SciFi" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>SciFi</span></a> got predictions and warnings about "AI" completely wrong.</p><p>(Thread: 1/3)</p>
