The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", BreckHutHigh asked the members: "What about the long road trips with kids?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

"I'd love the ability to "converse" with an AI Richard Feynman, or an AI Abraham Lincoln, or an AI Mark Twain. But an AI Hitler, not so much. :-) But an AI Hitler, not so much. :-)

Your choices are amusing but, in the end, it's just amusement; a tech-step above the multiple choices one is presented by a 'virtual agent' in the Spectrum Internet chatroom. (What would you like to talk about: New service, Add features, Your account, Tech support, Other?)

The Lincoln side of your chat will reflect what he thought...not what he might think "if."

The Feynman algorithm will not break new ground that real Feynman might.

I doubt that a Linus Pauling AI algorithm would stupidly promote Ivermection as Pauling recommended Hi-Dose VitC for all that ails ya. But maybe it would go off the rails, so to speak, just as Pauling did?

The God AI WILL however, not only amuse, could validate groundless faith in the minds of billions, same as the Hitler AI algorithm.

If an AI panel of the founding fathers could be convened, and one modern element introduced for their consideration (example, an easily affordable/accessible gun that can shoot 500 rounds in a minute) what could that panel possibly offer without the social context in which that element exists?
