In many sci-fi books, artificial intelligences (AIs) are depicted with speech patterns that are notably clunky and robotic, often characterized by stiff sentence structures, overly formal phrasing, and a lack of natural cadence. This portrayal contrasts with the more fluid and conversational AIs that exist in reality today.
The reason for this discrepancy often lies in the narrative demands of science fiction. Writers frequently use clunky AI dialogue to emphasize the alien nature of artificial minds or to highlight the distinction between humans and machines. By doing so, they reinforce the idea that AI is fundamentally different from human intelligence, a being whose cognitive processes and communication are rooted in cold logic. This can create tension or add humor, depending on the story, but it sacrifices the natural speech patterns that modern AI can achieve.
In real-world applications, AI has evolved to the point where it can mimic human conversation with surprising fluency. Natural language processing algorithms enable AIs to understand context, respond dynamically, and even exhibit subtleties like humor or empathy in ways that would be unthinkable for the robotic characters of older sci-fi novels.
The difference is further driven by technological advancements in machine learning. Contemporary AI models are trained on vast amounts of conversational data, enabling them to emulate human speech patterns with increasing accuracy. As a result, the AIs in real life often speak more naturally than their fictional counterparts, whose stilted dialogue is often a deliberate stylistic choice rather than a reflection of technological limitations.
In conclusion, while clunky AI dialogue serves a purpose in sci-fi, it no longer reflects the cutting-edge AI speech capabilities of the modern world.

I have to give you credit, you've studied down this rabbit hole so far that you make convincing arguments. I just want to give up at this point and let you suffer the consequences of all that misdirection from the truth, but there are so many other fun phenomena that prove the world is a globe that I just can't seem to stop thinking about them...
Like how about the way Eratosthenes calculated the earth's size waaaay back in 240 BC by measuring how shadows fell at different latitudes? Why are shadow lengths different if we're on a FE?
Or how about the simple way nighttime works? My family in Bangkok often sees the sun rise as I see it set and wouldn't the easiest way to cast that huge shadow be us living on a globe?
Or network propagation times? We can all measure distances around the planet in milliseconds by using a simple ping command... And no one seems to notice any pings that take longer than pinging the far side of the globe from themselves.
One thing you were right about though, I don't have a firm grasp on your model of FE. I know some think it's a simple disc & there is a huge boundary wall in Antartica instead of a pole. Others think it goes on forever. Some believe space exists and others don't. Some think other planets are spheres and only we don't have one. What exactly is your chosen model?

> So there are pictures which shows us seeing further than we should be able to, and your response is nahuh?
No, my response to that particular claim would be:
A. How do we know how far that ship really was?
B. How do we know the video wasn't doctored?
C. Look at those waves! They lift your ship up and down but if the ship was really as big as it looks, they'd just be lapping upon the hull. That ship simply can't be what & where it appears to be, and that should be obvious.
> Surface tension on a water droplet isn't curvature dude
You didn't specify what the force creating the curve was. Going forward I'll assume you mean gravity-specific curvature.
Of course that brings me to one of the root reasons I strongly believe that everything large in the solar system is a sphere... The explanation of mass as a basis for gravity simply makes tons of sense. It's easy to conceive mass clumping together in the weightless vacuum of space and creating objects like planets. It's not so easy to conceive a bigass flat disk that somehow has mass pointed downwards. What's causing gravity to flow in that direction? It doesn't make any sense. Nor do orbits, the fact that water balls up when dropped, and a thousands other observed phenomena!
So many mathematical formulas wouldn't work either, like good ol' e=mc^2. We literally would be set back to the absolute stone ages if flat earthers' ideas of how the universe worked were accepted in mathematics. Suddenly, nothing would work anymore as you change the formulas to reflect that 'reality.'
> You claimed the flight goes over Antarctica, which it objectively doesn't
Dude, you realize that weather causes pilots to change all flightpaths drastically, right? Check again some other time. I've seen a different path take that same flight very close to the pole.
> you ignored my question about how you establish airspeed vs ground speed
No, I told you why that line of reasoning is stupid. Stop trying to measure apples to oranges when you should be thinking about how many miles away the orchards are.
> now you're demonstrating that you don't even know tail winds exist
Lol, same again. A cross-pacific flight gains or loses about 2 hours depending on the direction... So a 1 hours average in, let's say, a 7,000 mile flight path is simply not enough to account for the massive, massive, MASSIVE distances (100,000 miles?!?) that flights around the south pole would take in a flat earth!
Modern airlines simply do not have the fuel capacity to get anywhere near it if you flatten the globe. Tailwind arguments are just bikeshedding.
> Ah yes, political boundaries. I didn't realize the sun subscribes to those
Oh boy. You were the one that brought up the lack of time zones that exist in the south. No one brought up Lattitudes, just time zones, which are inherently political boundaries.
> 1 hour sections would necessitate that they are all equal, above and below the equator
Those are lattitude lines. Politicians didn't care for them very much.
> yet they somehow have to reduce the number of timezones in exactly the way that would be expected on a plane.
I have no idea what you're referring to here.
> can you define gravity in your own model? Can you elaborate on the fine tuning problem? How about the anisotropic measurements of the CMBR, how do you reconcile those? What about the fact that the tychonian model has less epicycles
Typical unnecessary technobabble employed only when you're being backed into a corner. There is no good reason to use these words in this context.
In Florence there is a great museum to Galileo showcasing things like his telescope and all kinds of gravity experiments he conducted. I think they said for every experiment on display there were 50 more back in storage. When I was in my late 20's I went backpacking around europe and spent a few weeks in Florence, absolutely in love with that museum and the town. I'll never forget all the different ways he found to measure & affect a ball rolling down a track. That was true science.
I honestly don't know what half the words you just used mean but I do feel I understand gravity better than most after seeing those experiments. A bunch of wooden tracks and metal balls that tell us plenty about the nature of this existence of ours.
Calibrate it then point it at Jupiter. Now note the claimed distance. Now, without refocusing, send your telescope to the moon. Now, explain to me how it's in focus.
Easy. Focal points in a telescope are not linear, they are exponential.
That means it takes less turning of the knob to focus from the moon to jupiter than it does from someone standing 10 feet away to someone 100 feet away. I find myself refocusing wildly between all terrestrial objects but objects inside the solar system are pretty much the same focal distance, and interstellar objects are just pinpricks of light anyway so it's impossible to say how much you need to refocus for those.

> You can literally go and verify those sources and calculations yourself.

> this is how it always goes. First it was bouncing lasers off the moon, then you moved the next thing
This is what must happen when you refuse to accept the evidence for the previous thing. Either that or we stop talking.
> Now you're rehashing the fabled flights
That's it? Your entire rebuttal to the subject of those flights that absolutely do exist is simply smearing them as "fabled?"
If they're mere fables then the millions of people that flew them must be in on the conspiracy?
> Can you tell me how you verify ground speed over water when you're in a plane?
You just divide the miles by the time. Each jet has it's own top speed rating. None of those commercial jets have one fast enough to make up the difference of an extra 10,000 miles or whatever it would take to make the antarctic flight on a flat earth.
> it's just a coincidence that there are not an equal amount of times zone in the north and south
Why in the world would the southern hemisphere need an equal amount??? No one lives down there! Time zones are a political boundary and there are far fewer countries in the southern hemisphere.
> Do you have any exclusive evidence the earth moves around the sun?
Nah, Galileo made some great points and I've never heard them properly rebutted. What I've observed of the nature of the solar system (and yes I have a nice telescope) lines up perfectly with Galileo's model.

I see we just aren't getting anywhere because we don't trust each other's sources. Fine. How about we trust the commercial viability of an entire pair of flights that fly right over the south pole daily, each way, and has been doing so for decades?
Qantas QF 64 & it's return are daily flights that couldn't possibly be commerically viable if they flew over a flat earth. No matter if you beleive that the south pole is a perimeter wall or not, with no globe the huge distance between Sydney & Johannesburg would require more fuel than you could fill up the entire inside of the plane with!
Have any flat earthers explained (credibly) how the hundreds of people each day that take that flight were not really going over antartica like they thought they were, and didn't really arrive just a few hours (instead of days) like their tickets said they did?
For that matter, a flat earth would have flights over the north pole, like JL41 from Tokyo to London, go a lot faster than the curved path that they say they take. What are those flights doing up there for so long? Circling iceburgs to fool us all about the nature of the planet instead of commercially competing against rival flights?

The video shows nothing like what I'm talking about, only a few waves lapping the tiniest bit of the bottom.
The big ship in this video is like what I'm talking about:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UySV0UeGfjU
That's the top 1/3rd of a ship.
I saw huge cargo ships with their hulls clearly visible and then hours later as they move out you can just see the cargo containers and then eventually just the very top level of containers as they disappear 10-15 miles away. (On a clear day.)
I saw the same effect in Bangkok and Oslo as well, very different conditions.
As for the laser tests, I've seen them done myself and they definitely get blocked. Period.

> "You can recreate the effect you are talking about over a small body of water"
Um, no, you can't. If there's no curvature, then there's no hiding the bottom of the boat before the top. It's just that simple. I see nothing in your video that is evidence otherwise. (Not to mention the scale would be wrong.)
I can't shift any goalposts on a single claim. A claim that I am confident making, by the way, because I used to live near Long Beach and saw ships pulling out of LA's largest harbor daily. They always went 'over a hill' on the horizon, and never, ever, just kept shrinking until gone.
I won't try to 'steel man flat earth and geocentric positions.' It's not worth my time... But I can stand by a statement I've made and encourage you to verify, not trust, like I would to any would-be bitcoiner.

It's good that you keep an open mind to conspiracies in this day and age, otherwise you wouldn't have found bitcoin and become far more wealthy than you would have otherwise... But as the old adage goes, 'be careful not to open your mind too much lest your brain roll out of your ear.'

You're hearing what you want to hear with that "evidence." It doesn't disprove a thing that I said... Not even close. It just shows that in 1962 a MASER (microwaves) would reflect off the moon. Whoop whoop.
I know scientists who have done the lunar laser bounce themselves. In our modern times. They used a photometer, like photographers use, to count the amount of photos coming back from the moon.
When their beam wobbles a micromillimeter to the left of right of the mirror, they got zero photons back. But directly on it gets a measurable trickle. Regular ol' light.
Today you can buy lasers yourself that are far more powerful than they had in the apollo era. $200 can get you 2 Giga watts(!) of wood-burning laser that would be great to bounce off the moon yourself and see hit your photometer. I double-dog dare you.

Nah, here's where you're jumping the shark. Govt agencies have nearly infinite reasons to lie. Take the number of reasons you can think of and multiply that by every last person who works for the government and you're starting to get the idea of how many lies they make up or try to hide daily. It's their full time job. That's the only way they gain power and hide their immoral actions.
So no, releasing faked footage of activities they did doesn't mean "space is fake." That's a huge, huge mental jump. What it means is that there are things that they didn't want you to see. Or specifically around the Apollo missions, there are things they didn't want Russia to see.
If you want to prove to yourself that man has been to the moon, get a laser and bounce it off the mirror they left on moon for yourself. Plenty of nerds have done so already, like these: https://wtop.com/science/2019/07/the-experiment-still-running-on-the-moon-and-tv-re-runs-50-years-later/
If you don't want to prove it to yourself and blindly believe that the lies govt tells are so grandiose that every scientist on the planet must be wrong about the basics of how the universe works then I'd say you're more a part of the problem than of the solution.

Man, what a blast from the past... I still remember waaaaay back in 2012/2013 when half the bitcoin community was constantly talking about how to use bitcoin payments in pay-for-wifi-service that we could all install on a small router appliance and place in malls and starbucks to generate an income with. We eventually learned about the issues making that impractical, but that didn't stop every shitcoin under the sun from marketing their coin as the one to offer paid wifi hotspots.
What exactly has Nodogsplash solved to make this practical finally?

It's not enough to "Defund" these rougue organizations... We must fund their assasins.

I hate this woke-ass trend too. It's gotta end sometime.
Oh yeah, and stay TF away from Star Trek Diversity. (Discovery) It's the mother of all woke series.

I've literally never met anyone who is using bluesky, nor have I even heard of activitypub. Is that like a bar where they do arts & crafts?
These aren't serious competitors, and even if they were, the serious privacy advocates are all working on Nostr, so it's the only one that activists are going to use.
...And the more authoritarian govts become, the more everyone becomes an activist.

Yep, it's an authoritarian shithole everywhere now. (But I can argue that in the US it really started when our own govt shot JFK.)

Like with bitcoin adoption, I see nostr adoption as slow going but assured because there will always be people out there that desperately need an uncensorable speech platform.
Bitcoin will make it all the way to a global money used by everyone someday because of the network effects of money. They won't have a choice. However Nostr's future isn't as assured. Like you said the average person isn't likely to worry about being banned, and payments over social isn't as appealing to them as we like to think it is.
But Nostr, like Linux, has that awesome usefulness in solving techie problems behind the scenes that will keep it growing regardless, even if the mainstream keeps using their microsoft and apple products forever. I think we need to be prepared to accept this future for it.

Can't tell where exactly you've gone wrong here... Are you calling cashu tokens altcoins? Or are you saying that bitcoin is becoming too complex for people to use anymore?

I don't think using the world "clown world" is helping anything. It makes these disgustingly brutal acts seem too jocular.
We left clown world around covid hit. We live in a complete authoritarian dystopian shithole world now.

Key control is something that has many solutions but none agreed on yet... One approach would be for an individual software to manage all your keys... Offering a Revoke function.
Maybe bitcoin wallets could offer this add-on. They are key management software at heart, afterall.
