What do the initials A.I. stand for?

This was part of a psychological test. If you read this thread, you were either dumbfounded about the term AI, or you were so "busy" that you decided to flame the poster to death.

I thought the page was broken...

Holy crap, I thought it was a joke at first, but when I saw all the blank space beneath it, I started to wonder. Maybe you really were the biggest idiot in the universe, and not only could you not figure out the initials or recall who made the movie, but you couldn''t understand why [RETURN] didn''t send your post in. Overall, pretty funny. Nice one.

By the way, nobody actually researches artificial intelligence anymore, in the classic sense of perfectly emulating human intelligence. It''s been branded as "too big" for current research and technology. In fact, the hard-core behaviorists who worked on it refer to all game A.I. and automatic systems as "Artificial Idiocy", the skill of making an obsessive-compulsive retard that responds to very few stimuli and has a narrow range of responses.

So, in conclusion, this otherwise very funny thread touches on the serious subject of the futility of A.I. research, and the inherent hypocrisy in calling it Artificial Intelligence.

Well, you ask a silly question...

I especially like the way you put it in the Artificial Intelligence forum...

I think it stands for Artificial Incemination.

I always thought that A.I. stood for Artificial Idiocy.

AI does stand for something- artificial incemination. While at a tech program this summer, we took a trip to a local PA farm to see how they applied technology to their processes. Throughout the whole trip, the guy kept refering to AI, and I was wondering if they used expert systems or some sort of tracking programs to monitor their livestock. Well, I was extremely disappointed when I found out they were just talking about artificially inceminating their livestock to produce a better herd. Silly farmers mixing up clear cut CS terminology.

You know, I''ve known a lot of people with Artificial Intelligence.

Making a Game A.I. is making an intelligence that a human can understand and, therefore beat.

To make a hard game, make the NPC do something the player is thinking it will do, but for a different reason.

eg
Human - Hey! it''s going that way, this isn''t a helf-bad AI! But if I can just move over here and...
BOOM! GAME OVER.
Human - what? where did he come from?

But let''s face it. Who wan''t to play a game where the computer keeps winning?

It is the art and science, of taking wonderful, expensive, and powerful digital computers, coupled with lots of degrees and certifications and an education that costs mucho dinero...

and then making them solve problems that humans can do faster, cheaper, and without having to go to MIT and spend $10 million on an education to do. Why spend billions on robots? Let a bunch of people get busy, reproduce, and put them to work on your labor line for .10 a day. Think I''m kidding? Ever wonder why everything is made in China and Taiwan??!?

Chess was proved a century ago that any idiot can learn to play it well.

A computer is the ultimate idiot savant. It does one thing extremely well. ( hmm, crashing???)

Everyone knows I am the only truly intelligent human being alive. I am a god. A deity! Worship me, peons! mUhaha...

JK.


Anyhoo I know this was all fer funz... so...

Someone please tell me what''s the word used to describe initials or abbreviations for something that spells a word, like, "S.W.A.T."
I totally went blank and I forgot what it is called when you use an abbreviation for something. Help me please. Thanx.

Acronym. Or, perhaps, "necromancer."

For those that don''t know...the dredging up of old threads is commonly known as necromancy (raising the dead) and is considered very poor ettiquette. Indeed, on GameDev.net, we consider necromancy (w.r.t old threads) to be a serious offence. Consider this a warning to all... DON''T DO IT! It wastes the precious bandwidth that costs money. Please respect the fact that someone else is paying for your pleasure by providing this site to you free of charge!
