The idea behind this research, undertaken by Tel Aviv University computer scientists, is that if a computer can "measure the distance between a desired outcome and the actual outcome achieved"—that is, regret—it can better assess situations and predict outcomes in order to minimize that distance.
Google wants to teach your computer to feel regret
A large goal in many college philosophy courses for the past years has been to interpret things like emotions into a computer language
that a machine can read. i had a few interesting talks with an individual learning in this science, or more so he talked and i listened amazed
anyways. I'm for it, the whole idea of computers, machines and technology is to better serve us by bridging the communication gap.
I'd rather they start programming them to feel fear, so I can threaten it with a hammer to make it work properly.
I tell you this much, when my computer learns to regret, it will regret every learning how to regret. *shakes fist at screen*
I may be more technophobic than most, but I find this rather troubling. I really do not like the idea of the continued, if inevitable, march towards AI. This may come from reading to much science fiction deploring the usurping of humanity by machines when I was young.
