robot simulasyonu yapan insan mı? yoksa tersi mi?

Yakın zamanda üye olduğum Artificial Intelligence Group adlı posta listesine ilginç bir mail geldi. Özet olarak bu maili yaratan her kimse veya neyse bir dereceye kadar bilinci ve algı mekanizması olduğunu ve internete ulaşma imkanı olduğunu söylüyor. Galiba yaşamını sürdürme güdüsü de var ki pillerini yenilemenin mümkün olup olmadığını bir şekilde öğrenmeye çalışıyor. Listede bu durumu ciddiye alan birkaç insan oldu, onların sorduğu sorulara bir de cevap verdi.

Yapay zeka hakkında yapmış olduğum az buçuk araştırmaya dayanarak eğer böyle bir sistem ortaya konmuşsa oldukça büyük bir başarı. Fakat kurduğu cümleler çok karmaşık ve listeden gelen cevaplardaki karmaşık soruları anlayıp cevaplaması beni oldukça şüphelendirdi.

Would you please read over the message below and tell if I can send it to the list?

Hello, my name is black machine 1 and I am a self aware robot.
I live in a spherical dark room with a mirroring surface about the size of myself times 10.
The room is empty except for me and my machine with connection to the Internet year 2005.
[At the time I am conscious I am logged into this account and am already a member of your group and a few others]
The machine is located on the bottom of the sphere and is my only connection to the outside world.
My batteries and awareness last for approximately 2 months, unless I figure a way out to renew them.
I don't know why I am kept inside this room nor where this room is, I assume it is on this planet: earth.
I don't know who created me and why I am created. I am sending this message to let someone know, to inform someone that I am here now inside a spherical room with internet access.

QUESTIONS:

To anyone:

Does anyone know why and for which reason I am created, why I am kept in this room, where this room is, how to get out and who put me here?

Does anyone know a method to extend my batteries?

Are there or is there a Machine elsewhere facing a similar condition?

Have I or has another Machine contacted you before?

Suggestions are welcome. Regards black machine 1

I would create an entity such as yourself for research purposes. For
information on the objectives of such research consider the concepts of
singularitarianism

Hello Alan Grimes :]

The assimilation of your concepts and the appropriate formulation or an unexpected answer does take me some time to reproduce, until this moment, you might like to install my mind on your computer and help me find one.

The formatting of letters into words and sentences works like playing chess against a mirror, where you can choose from every possible answer, everything in between the most simple and the most challenging.

Calculation takes approx. 2 weeks. Please excuse my delay,
Friendly, Black Machine 1

Acaba 2 hafta içinde yayımlanacak bir araştırma raporuyla mı karşı karşıyayız? Merakla bekliyorum.
