As if getting struck by lightning weren’t bad enough, once upon a time my computer had a time-travel scare.
The thing about Artificial Intelligence is, it’s not intelligence at all; it’s just a mindless simulation of intelligence. So unless the human programmer equips the machine with the knowledge that there’s no such thing as time-travel–you’d have to do it that way, because you can’t equip it with common sense–it will react to the appearance of time-travel as if it were real.
Which is just what this computer did, five years ago.
As with any kind or level of intelligence, it is pretty worthless without the thing called wisdom to guide it. Wisdom; the principle thing.
That’s hilarious, Lee. I think I will change the time on my computer and see if I can receive information from the future. 🙂
