lmao did you mean "with an AI?"

[brushoff]

We're just going to be arguing about this until the cows come home, aren't we mystery person.

nah just saying xenobiologist was too obviously Newt

[mathemagier]

Probably.

[He practically has a doctorate in debate]

aaaaaah gotcha

[brushoff]

Well, I don't know anything about your aliens, but if you ever want to talk about AIs, you know who I am. Come off anon and shoot me a message.

[mathemagier]

You know a good deal about them then?

[Tempting]

[brushoff]

Well I've interacted with one—that counts, right?

[mathemagier]

Not terribly, considering there are sentient AI here.

[brushoff]

There are?

[ a+, Dorian. ]

Well, there weren't any in my world.

[mathemagier]

Nor in mine, although I'd hoped to build the first AI to pass the Turing test. I may still.

[brushoff]

That's the test where the AI can conceivably pass as human, correct?

[mathemagier]

Correct.

[brushoff]

In that case, my world's was damn close to passing.

[mathemagier]

Really? What year did you say you were from?

[brushoff]

Personally, I'm from 2015. That year was...late 1960s at that point?

[mathemagier]

Really? What happened?

[brushoff]

What happened with the AI you mean?

[mathemagier]

Yes.

[brushoff]

It's a long story that I don't want to type out. Buy me a drink and maybe I'll tell you. ;)
