“After all, it was one of the first sectors to deploy A.I. programming in the 1980s, with the four ghosts who chase Pac-Man each responding differently to the player’s real-time movements.”
All the lines look blurry when you’re squinting at things from a position of complete ignorance.
yeah, we should talk about “probabilistic” vs. “deterministic” behavior instead.
all programs are somewhat intelligent. that’s why computers were originally built, after all, to do a part of our workload. If they were completely stupid, we wouldn’t really use any computers at all, so yes, intelligence is a necessary feature of every program. the question is whether it has well-defined deterministic behavior or not.
In the not too distant future…

AI Corpo: “thankfully, no human programmed it to respond with that, so we are not liable”
Fascist court: “NPC’s family must pay AI Corpo damages for negative publicity”
