[[File:Portal-artificial-outelligence-ophrys-orchid.webp]] <blockquote> ''Artificial Outelligence is something I defined when something without a brain outsmarts something with a brain. So in particular, there's an entire clade of orchids called Ophrys which convince male pollinators that they are offering a female looking to mate, via a replica from their lowest petal along with the pheromones to to prove that, she's ready and waiting. So when these male pollinators, are duped twice, the plant is able to pollinate without having to pay in terms of energetic nectar or pollen, which is expensive. So how did the plant outsmart the thing with an actual brain? Well, it used its brain against itself. It said, look, if I can fool you twice, even though I'm not thinking, I get a benefit. So the key thing is you will sculpt the, replica of the female of your species based on your own poor eyesight or failure to understand what's situation you're in. As a result, what you have is you have something with without the ability to think, hijacking the mind of the thing that can think to parasitize itself. So if you wanted to take that into the realm of artificial, machine learning, imagine that this thing is basically just linear algebra. But there we are interacting with it, and we either reward it by telling it, it's doing great, or we punish it by moving to another model. And there are only three elements necessary for evolution, and they have nothing to do with carbon based life. You have to have heritability, you have to have variation so that you're not all doing the same strategy, and then you have to have differential success. Now all three of those things take place within programs. Programs are the only place with a reproductive system, the only thing man knows how to build from scratch that has the ability to reproduce. You can build a car. It'll have all the physiological systems of a human being, except for one, it doesn't manufacture more cars. So software is the only place where we can build an analog of the reproductive system, and therefore it's the only place that has room for artificial life. Artificial Outelligence is non-thinking life that uses the deficits and cognition of thinking life to outsmart thinking life.''
