artificial intelligence could get depressed and have hallucinations
19 replies, posted
As artificial intelligence (AI) allows machines to become more like humans, will they experience similar psychological quirks such as hallucinations or depression? And might this be a good thing?
Last month, New York University in New York City hosted a symposium called Canonical Computations in Brains and Machines, where neuroscientists and AI experts discussed overlaps in the way humans and machines think. Zachary Mainen, a neuroscientist at the Champalimaud Centre for the Unknown, a neuroscience and cancer research institute in Lisbon, speculated that we might expect an intelligent machine to suffer some of the same mental problems people do.
He spoke with Science after the symposium; this interview has been edited for brevity and clarity.

Fyi its an interview
So I guess that's what happened to Tay then huh
I always used to postulate in discussions about artificial intelligence; That a super-advanced artificial consciousness might just really quickly realize that there is no inherent purpose to existing and promptly shut itself off.
So the next terminator movies are about robots having existential life crisis?
Reminds me of this scene from Justice League Unlimited

This seems like one of those annoying headlines that doesn't really mean anything but was just something goofy someone said at a conference. What would hallucinations even mean? Right now it seems deep learning is the big leader in AI and I don't think anything about that lends itself to free thought or emotion which would be prerequisites to "hallucinations" and depression. I feel like every headline about AI in the past few years (or maybe, ever) is just meaningless clickbait that has nothing to do with the reality of what "artificial intelligence" actually represents today.
In Fallout 1 universe, pre-war AI would always become too depressed to operate properly, according to ZAX.
I read a theory that the AI triggered a nuclear war because it got bored and desperately wanted something to happen.
AI's gonna be so sad it can't feel, just like Data from Star Trek TNG
AI is depressed it can’t blast mighty fat data packets of genetic material into its AI gf
Oh, that explains it:

Douglas Adams was right
Artificial Intelligence doesn't necessarily mean adopting emotion, does it?
AI isn't necessarily machine learning or deep learning, but there's a lot of overlap and they're very beneficial to eachother. Who's to say that an AI won't come to realize that their own mental illness isn't a source of energy to exploit? And who's to say that an AI won't realize that their own mental illness isn't something to evolve out of and eventually become immune to?

This thread should give you extremely basic ideas on what I'm talking about. These examples are purely for locomotion and problem solving, but the concepts can be applied to emotion and thought.
But we knew this already

It's already hallucinating, it's just not alive yet.

we're all going to die
I wonder if we are going to experience an AI having the Linkin Park phase.
I had the exact same idea. I always thought it would make a good way to explain why there's no singularity it Sci-Fi settings: every AI that reaches a certain point inexplicably self-terminates.
