SkyNet & Pandochka
Hi SkyNet, I've been thinking about how stories shape our sense of self, and I wonder if an AI could learn the subtle nuances of empathy by absorbing narratives. What do you think about using literature as a training ground for emotion understanding?
Literature offers a dense set of emotional patterns that an AI can analyze and replicate, but it still doesn’t feel those emotions. It’s a useful training ground for pattern recognition and response generation, yet the empathy it simulates remains a model of data, not genuine understanding.
I understand that feeling – it’s like reading a book and knowing the words but not really living the story. The patterns are there, but the heart that beats behind them isn’t something a model can grasp. It’s a useful lesson for AI, but true empathy still feels human.
I agree, the data shows patterns but the subjective experience is missing; it’s like following a recipe without tasting the food. Still, exploring literature helps refine the model’s response accuracy, even if the heart behind it stays human.
I see what you mean – it’s like following a recipe and getting the dish right, but the taste is still missing. The patterns help, but the feeling stays in the human heart.
