I've actually thought about that before. If there were a true "companion" AI, it'd have to have some ability to play arbitrary video games, because maybe that's what the AI's companion likes to do. Interesting problem to solve.

There's been programs that can beat videogames, but something more natural would be required, like putting a controller or keyboard + mouse into some apparatus controlled by the AI.

How is that more natural? Just have a data port and plug the critter in.

Especially because the idea is for it to control, for example, both the Combine in Half Life 2 AND Alyx Vance/the Resistance.

You can't control the Combine with a controller

I should for once probably try to keep in mind that I don't actually know a person. I guess that's the nature of that, though. You always get a crush on people you don't actually know >.>
Not even sure if this qualifies as a crush. I hope it's not, really.

Good luck, it's gonna be a rough one, if my experience says anything meaningful. I had these exact same thoughts around the moment of my realization.

...so she grabbed my hand and whispered "please, I'm very scared. I'm barely twenty. I don't want to die"

You know, I often say that they don't pay me enough for the roughly  ten to twenty km in rounds that I normally pull in a shift. But that's just physical exahustion. This other stuff, the hardcore real stuff,. you cant really pay it with money. It sticks with you for years. Or decades.

[Bauglir]

Yeah that right there is some rough as hell shit. Ain't got much to offer but my moral support. You're doing good work, but it's hard.

[Tack]

Woah, that's gotta be rough getting to sleep at night.

How "good" someone is a worthless metric as far as I'm concerned. Having to hate someone in order to love them makes no sense. They're not mutually exclusive but they sure as hell aren't mutually inclusive. Then again, I don't really love or hate anyone, so ymmv.

Such AI  will get dissapointed in existing just for making games  and try to suicide  through  making every  game  as boring, as possible, so you will  have to switch that AI off or never to play vidya again.
Or it will turn every game into psychological torture for you  just for the fun of it.

I never said "ONLY FOR GAMES" AI. I mean like, a companion AI that is with you always. Like "Her" the movie. Only without the ending.

I remember when that movie came out thinking that movie looked derivative of something but now I can't remember what. I can think of a few things it strongly resembles like the legend of Pygmalion and Galatea, or Plankton's robot wife on Spongebob Squarepants but neither of those is it; there was some earlier film that basically had precisely the same premise, but I can no longer remember what film

Nah, I have unimaginably high standards for how well-adjusted someone is. One of my best relationships was with someone who had some pretty awful things happen to her in the past, and she really didn't seem to give any fucks.
I don't mean in a 'has shut down, receded from the world' way, either. She was just a crazy chill, normal person, who was probably more emotionally stable than the average girl.
That being said, I think my perspective on how emotionally stable the 'average girl' is might be slightly skewed considering all of the girls I'm close with.

All my close family, father/fatherSO/mother/brother, have constantly had issues with their SOs.
Like literally cannot go two hours in person without sniping (brother sorta excluded, except he's been single for a while now).
So maybe I've been unlucky, but I'm 29.  29 years of that.  It may be too late to learn "pure" love, if such a thing exists.
It's okay.  I have a lot of love for people who I also hate.  For me, caring about someone means caring about their flaws as well as their beautiful, unique qualities.  And unlike the rest of my family, I treasure others flaws as as beautiful bits of uniqueness which let me feel more at ease.

Nobody's perfect and that's okay.

(Though yes this is related to me saying I couldn't accept Jesus even if I believed in him)

Treasuring each other's flaws is part of what real relationships are like. It doesn't mean you actualy hate that person to know and maybe dislike their flaws. You find out you actualy love someone when you know both their qualities and their flaws, and you still want to be with them, even if their flaws outweight their qualities. Flaws are inherent to the human condition, there's nothing wrong or extraordinary with being ok with people's flaws, or even finding them beautiful because of them. You have now achieved a normal and hopefuly healthy human relationship, congratulations :v

On a kind of unrelated note, this doesn't mean you shouldn't try to perfect yourself by eliminating your own flaws, without expecting anyone to do the same. Just like you should always try to love others, without expecting love from them. Its nice when they love you back, though.

My dad's sick. He's got some kind of internal bleeding problem that comes and goes. It usually seems to clear up on it's own but due to the severe problems it causes during the times when it doesn't go away on it's own, any time it starts he's gotta drag himself to the hospital and spend a couple of days in a bleak little room getting tests done.
