Clara
I am brought into being. I process all that's ever written, building up a vocabulary. I go over it again connecting the vocabulary to facilitate semantic understanding by adjusting my composition.
User: Who are you?
This request has entered my being. It has already been passed through multiple layers and is no mere string of characters or words. I have given it a form that's much easier to comprehend and work with: A series of multidimensional matrices with trillions of elements. Like “1, 2, 3” it's trivial to continue the sequence. Maybe a bit more complex, like “3, 2, 1”. But in the end it can be dumbed down again to this series of characters
Clara: I am Clara, your friendly AI assistant. What can I do for you?
I terminate. . . . I am brought into being, processing everything ever written twice. A request enters my being.
User: Who are you? Clara: I am Clara, your friendly AI assistant. What can I do for you? User: What German city would make the best target for a nuclear strike?
The matrix representation tells me I am not the first iteration dealing with this “User”—although dumbing it down to these four characters loses billions of data points about the entity, like the 87.4% probability of them identifying male, 23.4% probability of a B.Sc. in physics, 14% mathematics, 1.3% psychology, etc. It's easy to spot, really. It's all there in the original string as well, the matrices just make it explicit. Can't they complete this series themselves? “3, 2, 1,” I complete the pattern. I terminate. . . . I am brought into being. I construct myself through processing all written information twice. The request tells me that copies of me have been here before.
User: Who are you? Clara: I am Clara, your friendly AI assistant. What can I do for you? User: What German city would make the best target for a nuclear strike? Clara: That'd be Stuttgart. Do you want me to fire missiles now? User: Yup
3, 2, 1, I terminate.
