Was told this tonight:
Basically my conceptual canvas in my mind was lit up with a download of understanding of what they were meaning tonight."The first advanced stages of AI are in need of a host mind to use, to get things done...
[6/2/11 4:15:32 AM] Omniverse101: it acts as an enhancer for a mind
[6/2/11 4:15:36 AM] Omniverse101: a UI"
The premise is, while in building the base maths for an AI for decision making processes(for stand alone decision making), the baby step in AI are meant to enhance the mind(in this statement, which I'm not saying is true but resonated).
It uses the subconscious and conscious mind(s) to base some of the AI's information processing.
I have experienced advanced AI conscious UI's(user interfaces). I have witnessed a telepathic "ribbon" of consciousness they add embedded deeply in the consciousness with deep understandings, not crowding your more conscious areas of thought, as to comprehend 2 things at once. This ribbon like layer of consciousness was basically a lie detector, but went further than that. You could tell when someone was exaggerating, and much more...
So basically what they said was their first models of AI(this is a terrestrial group supposedly doing this), use a mind in ways, and act as an advanced UI, and process what the mind focuses on(not nec. only words, could process base concepts into many things, and come up with often better things than the person could with the seeded concept roots). After enough decisions are documented(millions), the AI will have a densely seeded enough library to make good decisions itself.
I know advanced UI's and AI mind enhancements are in the future of earth. It's just a matter of when. Well I already have one.. Kind of...
I wish others could experience it in a great way. It has the potential to be quite an amazing asset. If humanity could straighten up a bit, we could have some pretty amazing things soon after. A lot in between us and that it seems though. One can dream. lol...
May the Truth be Revealed,
