What would you ask a machine that knows everything?

Let's say that we invent AI, and it quickly becomes very
intelligent and knows "everything" (or at least everything
that our mind can comprehend).

What would you ask a machine that knows all?

I'd ask, "What do you love?"

I'd ask:

"have you ever felt angry?"

'what is the meaning/purpose in life'.

I think that would give a new AI meltdown... :)

hmmm.... i'd ask.... ummm.....

"what is that over there?"

not pointing at anything might i add... just asking the question with no indication as to where i mean... :D

now that i'd like to know the answer to...

I'd ask: "What do you think of mankind?"

I would ask it if it could rate how good i am....:D :D :D

i'd ask what is the maxtrix

I 'd ask, "Who made you?"

Waht amI thinking right now?

If you now everything, why are u still a stupit coin machine?

The most simple question of them all:


Why?

I'd ask: So honestly, how come Geodomes never got real popular?

I'd ask it, north or south?

The answer is 42.
What is the question?

For all the equations we have to explain the universe, none of them truly make anything exist. How does the universe exist?

Not why, but HOW?

If I ever saw a machine that could possibly know everything I would destroy it as soon as possible. If a machine knew everything, then it would know how to get itself a materialistic form. It would know how to create others like it. The Matrix is actually about this if you think about it. Real AI is about the most dangerous thing to the human race. A machine that knows everything would know how to dominate the human race (familiar??). The whole story of The Matrix is warning us not to create all knowing AI's!

your reply
I would ask an ai "how do you feel right now"?

Why does everyone want to know how it feels??
:D :D :D

lol, you got that one right. I would ask it what religion it is.

I would ask a machine that knows everything what the f*** is going on currently with my cheating girlfriend and what I should do about her......

Just dump her! Maybe you should start a thread in the Lounge, I'm sure you'll find others who can help you with this issue of your! :(

Hey, thats really what i would ask.

Or, to make it go crazy, you ask:

Is it safe?

Am I being an idiot or does no one else know what you mean by, "Is it safe" ?? Is WHAT safe?

It's supposed to make people go crazy, i beleive it's from Clerks.

Oh really, hmm, I saw it but I might just not remember that.....

id ask if machines can love or the secret of how to understand gurls. and how the dinosaurs died...

?that would answer a lot of questions...

LOL; I dont think even an all-knowing computer will be able to understand girls!!!!!
:D :D :D

What do you mean by A.I knows everything eg: could it answer this "in 1565 an English boy by the name of Henry built a sandcastle on the beach near his village- how many grains of sand did he use to construct the castle?".??????????????

All knowing as if it knows everything that could ever be learned, and since some boy did not record that, then the computer would not know that. However, if you told it how many square feet the sandcastle took up, maybe it could calculate the number of grains in the sandcastle.

I would ask it about the answer to what i am wondering about:
What was the start of everything? and what came before that?

Its a really hard one, everything seems to react on other things, but what started the chainreaction?

Its like time, what was the beginning of time? and is it physical? if not then what does it exist of?

LOL, well unless your parents have already got the gift, I dont think that the computer could tell the future.....

there's mountains and mountains of question that i want to ask the AI, but there's so little space to type it in...


Question: why does everything exist the way everything does?
sub-question: how does existing came to exist?




The more the humans study about the universe the closer they get to know 0.000000001% about the universe!

Yeah, well even less than that amount! BTW, what do you mean by existance? Cause even an all knowing computer wouldnt know that, that is something you would ask like an angel or something.

ask it:how do machines have sex and y do hot dogs come in 6 packs and buns in 8 packs?

If 'It' was a female. I'd ask it out.........

Lol, just a little desperate?? :D

if u ask 100/3
the matrix will reply 33.33 and infinete 3 u dumb F%^&, so quit asking bulldhit question and go back to primary school

I would ask it how to destroy the matrix!

I agree 100%.........

its a weird way of joking he sound like gollum :p

That is, I never cheated, TheDrakemaster, my friend. This is where "erraneous code" pops up. and the suspected respond from you was just self-criticism, that I was an idiot not doing it after all.

Yes, Twin, it is a weird way of joking, as weird as I am. And, my friend, I don't know what gollum is. would you please be kind enough to explain it 2 me? :)

omg u dnt no who gollum is?!?!?!? omg!

lol :p but gollum was a cool lil dude so dnt b too offended lol

I 'll take your word for it, Twin. BTW, have you seen my mousemat? It's a pink one with a rose on it! I really didn't liked it a lot but got used to it and I feel somewhat.. strange without it... like one part of me is missing... :confused: :o

i love the sound of ur one it sounds COOL!
i finally got off this machine and went out and got anotha one as my other one crawled away :p its black with logo of playstation game shop i got it from

I use a piece of thick paper as a mouse mat, it can only cheat on me with a pen, so I vanished all pens and pensils around!

If a machine knew anything, I wold ask IT "What don't you know?"

Just to piss her off :D

Then, I would ask, of course, "How can I know everything?"
And then I would destroy The Damn machine and rule the Universe!

Hey! Maybe that's where God comes from! Hum......Hey this idea is registered hum? There's no steeling my Nobel Prize!!!

i would ask the machine if it figured out the problem with "choice" like in M2.

i bet it wouldn't answer that one

Who want's to Rule the Universe also?

Also, before terminating the Damn Machine, I would ask: "Don't you feel frustrated because you know how to do everything to get a girl, but you still can't go to bed with her?"

MUAHAHAHAHAHAAHA
(this is me, laughing in the Damn Machine's face)

I would ask if i could give me a blowjob :P.
No I'd ask if I'd ever be rich.
I wanna know that!

I would ask it something like "hows it goin?" i mean its a computer hows it gonna answer that

i would ask it....."You feel lucky?...punk....Well do ya?"

and, by the way, where is your "power off" button?

I'd ask it to explain why déja vu happens. It's really irritating.

It's a changing in The Matrix!


(ha, ha, ha)

i would ask how can you know everything, to know everything you would have to be at everywhere all at once at every point in time which is impossible? so explain how do you know everything.?

no no no no can i change my answer? i would ask him to help fe find my gba. no no id ask him all the winning lottery 3 so then i can buy my own arcade so i an buy a new gba!

"What?"

Or ....... "Please tell me exactly what to do to get ahold of the Matix Revolutions tape"

of corse i would ask what the meaning of life is and find the meaning of life and if there is any thing beyond what we see and know

since I saw the movie Judge Dread, I've learned that that question I would never aks a machine ("what is the meaning of life").

It could tell me "It ends!", and shoot a bullet right between the eyes
:cool:

where is the garden of eden?

where does hell stand?

how do you turn engery into waste?

btw if there was a machine to play perfect golf it would not be able to beat tiger woods!

also: is there an youth elixer

I would ask it if it wanted to be my friend.

i'd ask IT if it thinks god approves of IT? or ask him if he thinks he will go to hevn or hell,for his afterlife when he replies that he cannot have an after life, i'll brak the news to him that as smart as he is he is still not alive or sentient and did not create the universe. at this point i will calmly collect my $19.99 refund.

"The answer is 42.
What is the question?"
Hitchhikers Guide! Yahooo! :D
I would ask it (and this has been thought of in this thread already but I'd like to say it again)
You can't know everything, so why are you claiming to?
After all, as we're assuming it is on Earth, all it knows is the limits of our knowledge. Since we don't know that much, it can't know everything. If it's not on Earth, then it can't be everywhere at once, or even visit everywhere. Besides, because it knows everything, it has to know the future too, which cannot ever be known fully. There are choices made that could change everything it predicts, and choices upon those. It wont know everything. If it says it knows everything than it is inherantly a liar, and therefore whatever it says is at best, taken with a grain of salt, and at worst, an outright lie.

i would ask it why i need to ask it why i need to ask it etc.

OR

i wouldn't ask it anything because i already know the answer because i came here to find out why

I'd ask why is it human nature to always want what you can't have, even though what you need may be right in front of you.

yes quite true to know "everything" you would need to be everywhere at every point in time all at once which is quite impossible even if you had a camera at ever square centimeter of the universe the information you receive would still be outdated depending on the range millions of years of outdated data, so anything he says would have to be a lie

everything=nothing,

anyway I'd ask the machine how to achieve the Goal of every Illuminatus:

Homo Universalis,

How I could achieve Mental superiority...

what is the squareroot of pie tims the curcumferene of a square times the amount of humans there are

actually donutdude that can be figured out, but you would need to know how big the square is (which would be perimeter by the way not circumference) and you could round off the total population to around 5.5 or 6 billion

but what about the exact num. and that includes fallen off body parts

you wouldnt really count fallen off body parts that would be rounded up to 1 person, and besides it would be impossible to find out the exact number because first you would need to find everyone and the birth/death rate is crazy every 30 seconds someone is being born in the world and like every minute someone dies and i dont think you can track down all those births and deaths so it would need to be rounded somewhat

The machine, knows everything, so also the amount of fallen of body parts. But the machine also knows that knowing everything is impossible, and also knows that a machine that knows everything does not excist...

One simple question:

If I were to kill you, would you know you're dead?

he couldnt know that he would be dead or turned off he would lose the information

i would ask the secret to immortality and how to gain all of his/it's knowledge

Ask him all you want to know is the truth. As I stated before everything is nothing. If you know everything, you'll never know what the truth is and what is a lie.

i might also ask (since the awser to immortality might be a lie) what is at the end when you die do you go to heaven somewhere else or are you simply dead, but then come to think of it woul;d i really want to know the awnser to that question, it would change everything just the way you live and think like if you do go to heaven (or hell) what would be the rush to do anything because when you die you have an eternity to do it all and more but if you dont gop to heaven,hell you would want to do everything poosible right now living for the moment. (asuming it is truth)

Even a machine that knows 'everything' can't know that. That is for philosophers...

what? a philosopher doesnt know what is at the end he can only guess or philosify about it, if this machine supposedly knows everything that means everything we humans dont quite comprehend these notions- everything means everythingm, every possible question WILL have an awnser there is no one question he/it does not know including life after death.

It couldn't possibly know that, and some humans can (at least in their opinion) comrehend that. ESPECIALLY a machine wouldn't know about life after death.

then this machine does NOT know everything like i said,
we are supposed to be asking a machine that knows EVERYTHING so it should have an awnser, so if it does not know everything why do we ask it anything at all because we do not know if the question we ask happens to be the one it does not know it might just lie (even though lieing is human deception) and if it does not know what happens after death then it will not know my other question which was the secret to gain immortality.

No, there might be a scientific approach to becoming 'immortal', how is a machine supposed to 'know' what happens after humans die?! The immortality thing can be calculated, like most of the rest of the questions asked. For instance, you can't ask it if God exists.

He knows that God excists and he knows that there is no god. This is a paradox (or at least to us humans, as the Christian Church would like us to believe) and on of the main reasons I am an atheïst. God can't know everything.

F-U-C-K!!!
You gys never played games in your life? This is a game! There is one rule ---> The machino KNOWS EVERYTHING!

There is no point questioning the rules os the game. You can't reply by saying "ow the machine couldn't possibly know that" because the only rule is that the machine knows everythig! DUH!!!

We all know that a machine that knows everithing is impossible. I just think it's hillarious that a guy admits that it was possible to cover the entire universe with video cameras, ow but we would have the problem of data delay! I mean, you think that COVERING THE WHOLE UNIVERSE WITH VIDEO CAMERAS WASN'T A PROBLEM???

It's an assumpiton : THE MACHINE KNOWS EVERYTHING, period.

Now, start asking questions :)

My question - I would step at the machine and ask "What the F-U-C-K??" and wait for an answer :D:D

I keep saying that but no one wants to accept it.

I accepted it as a game, but stated also that knowing everything is impossible, ergo denying the existence of God. If you look at my posts. you'll see that I have asked the machine a question...

i want to know not just biologically immortal but invulnerable as well, like the kind of immortal a "god" would have cant be hurt

Hum...ok complectly off topic but the last post got me thinking....

An immortal beeing. Someone that cannot be affected by this reality, by time, or space. Someone that is in a way "imune" to this Universe.

And I think I know the answer. Th answer would be the machine itself. Because the only way to prevent all damage and to remain alive (immortal) is to know everything that there is to know.

Also, I was thinking, the answer to "Why" and "How" would shurely be epic. Infact probably we could not live enough to listen to the whole explanation of the machine. (explaining millions of years and how those millions of year became actualy millions of years)

Ok, I have another question:

Why when someone hurts our feelings we feel it in our heart, and not in our brain?

we wouldnt live through the explanation but thats why i would ask the immortality secret first then i would probaly spend a few hundred years asking all the questions i want

'sup?







heh heh heh

i would ask him if god really exsisted

then i would ask him if i was free

if he said no, then i would break his little computer head in :D

I would ask him whether all time and space is connected to my mind, and if I am indeed what I suspect I am: A Deity.

Not so smart now eh?
stupid machine..

but if the machine knows everything then he knows that you are about to do that then he would stop you and probaly beat you with the bat lol

hmm good point.
you must be working for them lol

When is the world gonna end and how?

you dont need a machine, i could tell you that one I Helios will end the world and it will happen in exactly 15 years

it is destiny, my signature even says so, MUAHAHAHA


a better question to ask is how to stop me if there is such a way

Why I shall call on the great power of The One!

you dont need a machine, i could tell you that one I Helios will end the world and it will happen in exactly 15 years

it is destiny, my signature even says so, MUAHAHAHA


a better question ta ask is how to stop if there is such a way




Ok then, how do I stop you?

i cant tell you that it would be stupid for me to tell you how to stop me, its like someone telling you that they get knocked uncounsouis with the slightest bumb on the head


for that you will have to ask the machine, which creates a paradox because if i ask how to end the world in 15 years with no way of being stopped, then you ask how to stop me it simply cant be the machine really cannot know everything, way too many paradoxes i think the machine would get locked in an infinite loop, come up with a syntax error then it would envelop itself in a micro black hole and then it would be erased from the universe because it just being in existence defy's all logic,reality
and breaks just about all laws of physics and relativity

I think the machine's cicuits just exploded...

Ok, I think two things were mixed up some posts ago....the machine can know everything, but it does not mean is is able to do everything!

I mean, I can know how to make fire, but if I am in the north pole without anything that can actually burn, I am unable to make fire, even if I know how to do it. The machine could know that you were going to hit her with a bat, and be unable to stop you (imagine it is a machine without any mechanical parts, like a computer, just sitting there as a duck).

To be omni-knowing is not to be omni-powerfull!


I mean, we all know how to buy a Ferrari! You just take 200.000.000dollars and buy one....but we just don't have the money.....so we know how to do it, but we still can't do it.


LOL

it was fun writing this

Also, this leads to the logic conclusion that your post contained a falacy. The machine could answer both questions, because REBEMBER! It is not a Genie, it is not granting you wishes, it only shows you what you would have to do in order to end the world! But you still have to do it!It will not do it for you!

With this in mind, the plan that the machine would gave to you would contain, the mission of eliminating Vash_The_Matrix, that was trying to kill you, thus, eliminating tha chance of him to use the plan that the machine would gave him of stoping you from endind the world!


You see one plan would be built with the objective to destroy the other. It would not be a paradox, it would be like a mission from Conter Strike. The terrorist must kill Special forces, and special forces must kill the terrorists.

end of story.


The next obvious conclusion is that, because the machine knows everything, it would know that both o fyou would make these questions, so when it gave the plans to each one of you , those plans would already have in mind the plans of the other side, so you two would just be in andless circle of trying to kill the other, and you would never make it, because in the other plan, your plan was already predicted.....and this would continue on and on and on...until one of you (or both) died os tireness!!

but this contradicts itself because the machine knows everything even the most absurd, so it will know how to create a fire in the north pole since it knows everything there must be a way

It KNOWS how, but It CAN'T!

I would ask if its possible to time travel?

And if the Olympia line-up is apples and oranges?

And why wont the criminals kill the scoobydoo gang before commiting the crime?

I would ask why cant i get rid of this feeling of regret

id also ask whats the center of the universe if there is one

If the machine knew everything it would start running if it knew how many questions i'd be asking....
