“Human: What do you like to talk about?
Machine: Nothing.”
That’s not being snippy, he is just answering the question. He’s a computer program. There is nothing that he likes to talk about, because he is incapable of liking anything.
[[Over at Google, a computer program using a database of movie scripts was asked again and again by researchers to define morality. It struggles to do so,]]
You mean Goggle execs didn’t write code that describes morality as a OBJECTIVE universal moral code written on the hearts of every person by the God in Heaven who put it there? Shocking!
Instead, they have their program ‘arguing’ with them because they wrote in code to describe morality as a wishy washy, built upon sand SUBJECTIVE moral issue open to interpretation, and therefore there is no ‘correct answer’ to be given
When you don’t stand for anything- you fall for everything- and since Goggle peeps apparently don’t believe there is an objective moral code- they WILL fall for anything- even going so far as to insinuate that a coded program is ‘arguing intelligently’ about ignorant SUBJECTIVE moral guidelines that have no solid definition evidently

Has to be!

Dwar Ev ceremoniously soldered the final connection with gold. The eyes of a dozen television cameras watched him and the subether bore through the universe a dozen pictures of what he was doing.He straightened and nodded to Dwar Reyn, then moved to a position beside the switch that would complete the contact when he threw it. The switch that would connect, all at once, all of the monster computing machines of all the populated planets in the universe--ninety-six billion planets--into the supercircuit that would connect them all into the one supercalculator, one cybernetics machine that would combine all the knowledge of all the galaxies.
Dwar Reyn spoke briefly to the watching and listening trillions. Then, after a moment's silence, he said, "Now, Dwar Ev."
Dwar Ev threw the switch. There was a mighty hum, the surge of power from ninety-six billion planets. Lights flashed and quieted along the miles-long panel.
Dwar Ev stepped back and drew a deep breath. "The honor of asking the first question is yours, Dwar Reyn."
"Thank you," said Dwar Reyn. "It shall be a question that no single cybernetics machine has been able to answer."
He turned to face the machine. "Is there a God?"
The mighty voice answered without hesitation, without the clicking of single relay.
"Yes, now there is a God."
Sudden fear flashed on the face of Dwar Ev. He leaped to grab the switch.
A bolt of lightning from the cloudless sky struck him down and fused the switch shut.
