You know, I feel too much importance is put within the term AI "Artificial Intelligence" thus I will retroactively coin the term "Natural Intelligence"
NI
Technically speaking, in terms of playing god, creating NI from scratch seems like a much bigger problem than AI.
Odd thing: When I'd first heard of homosexuality and transsexuality, when I was about seven, I had no problem with it. But then, about two years later, up until about three years ago, I did.
What changed? My parents were never homophobic or transphobic.
your parents may not have been but what about the kids you went to school with
idk about you but kids in primary/secondary (elementary and middle if you are american) school just love going 'haha youre gay' 'thats gay' etc etc and so kids just pick up a negative attitude towards it
of course a lot of them grow out of that but still

Even when I was younger I thought the kids at my school were full of crap.
I misspoke in the original post, actually. I stopped being homophobic pretty quickly but transphobia lasted much longer than it should've.

True.
I was never really homophobic or transphobic in my youth, but I really didn't understand how the first one worked until I was about eleven or twelve and was only vaguely aware of the second for a long time. As a consequence, I definitely said some homophobic-sounding things, but I don't think I meant them in that way.
Then my best friend came out as a lesbian. And then I started to realise I was bisexual. That changed things.

I must be the odd mare out here. I always just kinda felt like homosexuality made sense, even before I knew there was a word for it. I remember being like 5 and being annoyed that all the love songs on the radio seemed to be addressed from a man to a woman or vice versa. Love shouldn't be limited to specific pairings, right?
As for transgenderism, well...like I've said before, my first thought upon learning what it is was "You can do that? Yes, that means there's still hope for me!" Somehow it only took me 10 more years to come to terms with what 11-year-old Avenue already knew.
Yeah, I'm pretty sure that I intuitively had some kind of understanding of what I was feeling long before I knew that I was feeling it, but I wasn't sure how to process it and said questionable things to try to seem less like what I really was. Like making overcompensating remarks on how attractive another guy would be to girls when complementing the way he was dressed. Granted, I was about ten or twelve and clueless about sexuality beyond some basic mechanics that I learned via medical texts—I read a lot of those—but still...
The first romantically tinged piece of fiction that I wrote or planned was actually about two guys, so I guess that says something.
I was confused more by the phobias than the actual things themselves, then I realized that certain phobias develop because of how our brains are wired, and that phobics, though wrong with their lifestyle choices, were still human beings so long as they can squash their urges to discriminate.
Why, someone should open a service club for Ex-phobics.

Sometimes I wonder what weird sentences I typed for my tablet's keyboard to learn the things it did.
When I type "consider", for example, the next word it suggests is "witchcraft". What?

1. My social skills must not have kicked in for today yet, because my first thought was "why do you even care how someone else spends her money?" >_>
2. I'm in that state again where I'm loopy but no one else is and I worry about being disruptive if I post nonsense.

I figured someone would post that song
They did a Sesame Street version too
Anyway:
Central Avenue: Princess of #trashheap Anonus: Prince of #trashheap, married to Princess Avenue Section42L: Also a Prince of #trashheap
...I guess that makes SF_Sorrow a princess of the heap too, if she wants to be.

Do I get to be that sitcom char that no one on the show likes but everyone in the audience likes who always barges in through the door with a witticism and a snappy laughtrack? :)

No no you don't "make" people like you. Either you are something people like or you aren't, and I am like a used piece of paper that wrapped a chicken sandwich five years ago, with outdated logos and everything. -_-

Some day I am going to leave this forum permanently and it will be because I have decided to shoot myself, or perhaps it will be because I spoke to another human irl and one thing led to another and suddenly things exist outside of my house and there are not just one human but several humans to speak to irl.

sooooooooooooooooooo in 2 days I wrote 2,000 words, which is more than usual. What am I writing? I don't know, but it is that thing I was trying to write a year ago almost but couldn't.
Sand pandas. They lurk underneath deserts and beaches, waiting for unsuspecting Bambooians to walk past, and then leap from the sand in a flurry of claws and teeth as they diesmbowel their prey.

My progammers designed me that way for efficient human interaction, a growing AI needs a lot of input after all.
